6 month check-up and the nursery...

Well today we had our six month check-up. I can't believe that it's been six months already. The nurse practitioner said that we only have one more monthly visit and then we start going every two weeks. I can't believe how quickly things are coming about. Everything checked out just fine. The heartbeat was about 150 this time, and they said that that was still a good strong heartbeat. On our next visit I have to do the glucose test, that's where they will check me for diabetes and all that jazz. All I know is that I get to drink the "nasty" liquid. Or at least that's what I've been told. So I'll fill you in on that later.

Ryan was on plant shut down this week and so he thought that now would be a good time to work on the nursery. And work he did. The reason that he picked now instead of earlier is because we recently had some new windows put in our house and this way he would have plenty of ventilation while he painted. So he painted the walls (which used to be that old '70's dark panel board), re-carpeted the floor and took out the "nasty" poofy old carpet, hung new blind, put up the curtains that match the bedding, put base board in and moved what furniture we have back in (i.e. glider rocker, quilt rack, and night stand). We will be getting our crib and changing table at a later date. Those are to be presents. Anyway, I've added some pictures so that everyone can see just all of the hard work that he put into this nursery. And if I do say so myself he did a fantastic job. Enjoy the pics...

Love,

Vanessa, Ryan, and Connor
