The crib

After a few false starts, the directions weren't all together clear, the crib is officially assembled. I love it even more than I thought. The bedding is scheduled to be delivered on Valentine's Day, so I'll post a picture of the full nursery then. Now, I just have to figure out what to do for window treatments. I'm clueless other than knowing that it needs to be something that will block out the sun/heat. The nursery is the one room in the house that gets direct sunlight for most of the day and also gets extremely warm in the summertime. We also need to install a ceiling fan which will assist in the cooling down efforts. I've been looking for one, but haven't found anything appropriate yet.

I'm feeling great, but am a little dismayed at the number of people that have told me that I don't look pregnant. I'm pretty sure that I do as evidenced by the daily increase in the size of my belly. I'm 27 weeks which translates to about 6 months - only 93 days to go. I had every intention of taking weekly or bi-weekly pictures, but it hasn't been that dramatic yet. Although, now it seems like everyday I wake up a little bit bigger. One person said that I must just have the right build for carrying a child - that's great as long as it carries over into labor and delivery! I'd rather have that! We have a maternity center tour at the hospital next weekend - which I'm really looking forward to. It will be nice to see in person. I've only seen the "marketing" pictures from the brochure.
