I have 4 weeks left until the baby is born. I will also be visiting the doctor on a weekly basis from now on. David and I have decided on a name and yes, we are still keeping it a secret. Her bed and bedding arrived this past week and so now I need to go and get paint for her room. I am hoping to start painting next week. Mom and Tavia, my sister-in-law, will be helping with that and a little of the cleaning around the house due to the major renovations in adding a second story.
On May 2nd, our roof came off and the start of the second story being built. By Friday May 8th, I had a second story with windows, framing to the rooms, and stairs. It is coming together very quickly, I can’t wait until the insulation, and dry wall is put up. David will be starting the electrical work this week ( May 11th). He has been working very hard for the past month trying to get the house ready for our baby girl.
It has been very exciting and very overwhelming. Last week definitely had its up and down. I am not able to help much. I become very tired and achy because I am on my feet too long. By the way, my feet will not return to their normal selves until after the baby is born. I have no shoes that fit comfortably at this point. Everything in my home is packed away that can be packed away and the rest is not where it used to be due to the place having so much wood dust. David and I try to keep up with the cleaning etc, so we can be comfortable at least when we are sitting on the couch, cooking meals and of course when we sleep. It will be easier when the upstairs is ready for us to move up and then I can do a good cleaning with the down stairs. I am definitely in my nesting phase, however it is very difficult to move around and do things. For example, bending over. Just doing everyday little things is challenging.
I will be posting a belly picture for Ms. Mary, and what we have accomplished so far with the house very soon. My next doctors’ appointment is on Wednesday May 13th and during that visit an ultrasound will be scheduled. Very excited!!!!

Michelle: I hate to break it to you, but your pregnancy foot size might not shrink after pregnancy. My foot grew by a half a shoe size with each pregnancy and it never went back to pre-preg size. Oh well, I guess you will just have to go to the city for some shoe shopping! .)
Don't take on too much if you can avoid it. I know you are itching to get stuff done before the baby, but try to get some extra sleep, put your feet up and watch TV or a movie. I have about 35 shows on my DVR that I haven't had time to watch in the past 4 months. Take care of yourself pretty girl!
