>The longer I sit around and do nothing the more bored I get. I decided to start and finish some crafts for the nursery. I recovered a lamp, painted a train and orgainzed some stuff. I won't post pics of the whole train, but you'll get the idea. I need to finish painting the wall letters, but I need pin striping tape first.

>lower or not?

>I feel like the baby has dropped a bit. What do you think?

This is week 33


This is week 35


Yesterday my dear friend Ashley took me all over the place so that I could get some things done. (I'm not supposed to drive unless it's a short distance) We went to Wal-Mart, Target and Babies R Us. I got a cute little table for the baby's room, some baskets, a hamper and some other organizational items. I'll take some pics after I clean up the nursery a bit. It's a wreck...again.

>My sweet neighbor

>I have this wonderful, sweet neighbor. Ms. Juanita reminds me of my grandma in more ways than one. She is thoughtful, cooks amazing cajun food and loves to let people know that she cares. She noticed that my car had not left the driveway in a while and she came over to check on me. She was not happy to hear that I was on bedrest.

Today, we had our childbirth class at the hospital. When we got home there was a huge bag on the door. I was excited to see what it was. Ms. Juanita had left it there. She had a granddaughter make me the cutest diaper bag.

>Fall is here!

>The air is starting to get crisp. The mornings and evenings are awesome. The temperatures during the day are practically perfect. I have a ton of fall decor but I can't get up in the attic to get it all down. I randomly left some of it out last year, although I don't know why. Thankfully, it's coming in handy this year. It's not a lot of decoration but I'm very happy that I have something seasonal to help the days go by a little faster. Right now I have some fall candles burning on the mantle. It smells so yummy in my house.

For your viewing pleasure...

>bedrest won!

>I've been getting pretty bored lately so I needed a project to kill some time. With my shower coming up, I decided that I'd make some thank you cards for the hostesses. Hostess thank you cards turned into guest thank you cards. I think I made about 20 before I stopped. I think they turned out pretty cute. Now I just need to find envelopes for them :)

In other news, my doctor's appt on Monday was uneventful. Of course I am to stay on bedrest but she said that I don't have to be as strict. She still does not want me on my feet for long periods of time. I can deal with that. I have now gained 15 pouonds total. My blood pressure was a little elevated though. I have no clue why, it just was. She didn't seem too concerned about it. I go back in 2 weeks for my next visit. I'm wondering if I'll be able to go back to work. I finally am starting to fit into the maternity clothes that were too big. I guess my belly is officially taking over. If it's just the belly, then why is my butt bigger too? I'm hoping that it's just water weight. That would be a lot of water though. The baby moves all the time. I really love it...until he hurts me. I never knew such a little person could physically hurt someone else. I know he's just stretching in there though. Surely, he is running out of room at this point. Only about 6 more weeks...if he comes on time. We can't wait!
