Things have been going along well for us the past few weeks. As Kevin said my Dad graciously came over and was going to help me paint the nursery, but ended up doing it all himself. I wasn't planning on painting the whole thing again, but he ended up doing it, and I love that there is a fresh coat of paint. The nursery is slowly coming together. We made a trip to Ikea this weekend for a bookcase and a night stand for next to our glider (which hopefully we will get soon), and put the bookcase together. I also found some curtains and just need to grab a curtain rod, and then we can start putting the nursery together a little more. The paper lanterns I ordered for above the crib arrived, and are waiting in the crib to be hung. I'm hoping this weekend we can spend some time adding some of the details to the Nursery and really start to see it come together.
I celebrated my 27th birthday a few days ago...weird to think that my next birthday will be celebrated with our little boy! I spent the morning getting a massage and the afternoon with my mom and dad and we all had dinner together that evening. Kevin spent the evening golfing, but they beat the 1st place team, so it looks like they are making a run at winning their leauge again! Kevin surprised me for my birthday and bought me a video camera...I'm excited to be able to take videos of baby swan and have those memories documented. My sisters and I love to watch our old home videos and I'm hoping someday baby swan and his siblings will enjoy the same thing too.
We also made it through our first weekend of child preparation classes. We attended the baby basics and breastfeeding class. The baby basics didn't teach us much we didn't already know, but the breastfeeding class had some good information. I think we both thought it was going to be worse than it was, and we got out early so we were impressed! This weekend we have the childbirth class, which since neither one of us have any experience with this I think will be good. We opted for the full day class so we don't have to miss out on any other weekends at the cabins, so it will likely be a long Saturday, but hopefully informative and get us ready for baby swan when he decides to make his appearance!
On the job front I had another meeting with my boss yesterday. She made it seem more promising that I might be able to come back part-time in January after my maternity leave. She also made it well known that she can't promise anything as of now, so we're still in limbo, wondering what the future will bring but I feel better about it and know that it will all work out like it's supposed to. I just have to let go of it and see what happens!
It's hard to believe how fast Summer is going, and to think that October will be here before we know it. We still have some other projects to get done around the house that we've been putting off for awhile, but I know they will get done before baby swan makes his appearance. And as Kevin said...we do have a lot done, and I fully trust that should something happen sooner than expected we'd be okay. Although, I'm cherishing the last few months we have just the two of us to finish a few things and get even more organized for baby swan when he gets here. Nothing too exciting to report, just nursery decorating, home project doing and enjoying our last couple months of Summer.
