and it continues...

I was pretty disappointed today to learn that I either misunderstood something or my doc forgot to mention that I was supposed to schedule the level II ultrasound at the hospital-they don't do the ultrasound in the doc's office. So, I got there today, my mom came, etc...and we were ready for this, and then they let me know that OH, no no no...you'll have to call the Perinatal Center to schedule that, not happening today. Sheesh. SO we will have that on Friday at 1pm, and will continue to be slightly nervous for this week. Seeing the baby's heart chambers!? Intense, awesome, but yea...intense.

In other news, we've picked out nearly all the furniture for the new house and came in under the budget we had hoped to stick to, so that is exciting and we're relived to have those details settled. I think I have all the paint swatches picked out as well, so this coming weekend will be painting time extraordinaire. I will be gardening extraordinaire because of all the fumes, which is semi-heartbreaking because I LOVE painting, but so it goes. We'll save the detailed painting like woodwork and such until next year when I'm itching for something else to do.

Here are some pics from this weekend. the Moms were SO helpful...they have completely cleaned the baby's room, the guest room, and our bedroom. Superheros.

So those are a few....I got caught up in cleaning and forgot to take more, though I think Mom Ruiz did. I need to remember next time so we have some good before and after shots. That's about all for today I think.
