Our Luck Continues!

Still feeling so blessed to have such wonderful things in my life.  Last weekend I had my first shower and had such a great time!  We had the shower at Kevin's cabin and it was so wonderful, we played a few games, snacked on some good food, and enjoyed the great company...well I enjoyed the company, Kevin played on the boat and in the water with the little kids!  We got lots of great things...and Baby Swan's dresser and closet are slowly filling up.  Kevin has been spending more time in the nursery, well the glider to be exact.  I often find Kevin rocking in the glider, listening to music on our new snazzy CD/Ipod player from Bubba, just relaxing, soaking in the atmosphere...he's just missing baby swan in his arms!

I also was blessed last night with a shower from a few of my closest co-workers.  It was so much fun to get together and enjoy each other's company.  I might not always like my job, but my co-workers are definitely what makes it all worth it.  I truly am so lucky to have some of my greatest friendships come from my job.  They are a group of great ladies.  Baby Swan was spoiled with lots of cute outfits which I can't wait to put him in!

Yesterday I also had my 33 week appointment with my midwife.  Nothing special, things are looking good.  I'm measuring a little ahead at 34.5 weeks, but she said that's still in the normal range so they won't do anything about it.  She thinks that Baby Swan is head down, but we'll confirm that in a few weeks.  My next appointment will be at 36 weeks and then I'll switch to weekly appointments after that.  It's  hard to believe that this pregnancy is coming to an end and soon we'll be meeting Baby Swan.  Sometimes the time feels like it's dragging on and others it feels like it's flying by faster than I can keep up with.  I'm sure before we know it it'll be October.

We've also been working hard on the nursery this week.  We made a trip to Ikea to get some closet organizers and drawers to put all of baby swan's clothes, toys and paraphernalia in.  I've been working on finding a place for everything and having it organized as we go along.  Wednesday night my mom came over and helped me pick out drapes and finalize some other decisions as far as the nursery goes.  Tonight we spent our Friday night, hanging drapes, and paper lanterns over the crib.  It's fun to see my vision for the room come together and transform as I add things in.  Kevin hit the nail on the head tonight when he said..."Move over Baby Swan...Dad's moving in".  The room is getting pretty cozy and definitely feeling more and more like a nursery where a baby will soon reside.  There are still some final touches, but it is getting very close to being done!  

So the week brought lots of fun with friends and family, great showers, organizing and a little bit more settling of the nursery.  Tomorrow Kevin has his fantasy football draft and I'm heading to my parents cabin for a little relaxation on the lake.  I'm hoping to get the nursery done in the next few weeks and when I do, I'll be sure to post some pictures!
