A Marvelous March Weekend!

Wow, what an eventful weekend! My mom came to visit. She paid for everything. Every meal, every shopping trip...including a pedicure for me and trip to Ikea! She had to leave Sunday morning...ugh, if only we didn't have jobs to get back to on Monday.

I'm overwhelmed by my mother's generosity. She always pays for everything - though I still try to fight her on it! Occasionally, I'll win & she'll let me pay for once...but it's very rare, haha. She's like that with everyone. One of the many things she's taught me is to have a servant's heart & to love like Jesus did...and being generous like that is only one of many ways to do that. I hope to pass that on to Roan and any other children God blesses us with. I love you so much, mom!

We made some major progress on the nursery Sunday! Or, I should say Sean made major progress on it...I only helped a little. I'm so thankful for him! He had to play guitar at chuch this weekend...meaning he had to wake up early Sunday morning. He came home and got to work on the nursery right away! Husband & dad-to-be-of-the-year right here:

Putting the curtains up.

Putting the chair together.

Putting the shelves up. He cut his thumb during our meal break and the band-aid was not sticking on very well...painter's tape to the rescue! Thankfully, his dad came over to see Rosie & helped Sean hang the second shelf.

He also put up the baskets next to the changing table. It's actually a magazine rack, but it's perfect for diapers, wipes, and other changing table items. Eventually there will be three 8x10 prints from Etsy above the changing table.

The finished product! Well, so far anyway. Tomorrow he's putting up the paper lantern in the corner near the shelves. Then all that will be left is the art above the changing table!

It's really starting to make this whole having-a-kid thing real! At one point Sean said "Just think of how little time we spend in this room now and how much time we're going to spend in this room." So true! 

Growin' Roan!

I decided to start a blog about...well...about Roan! These days I get asked how things are going a lot. Also, Sean and I have friends and family that live far away, so I thought a blog would be a good way to update those that would like to be updated on how things are going. Especially as we get closer to Roan's arrival.

So just a quick update for now...I'll be 26 weeks tomorrow. Roan seems to be getting more and more active every day! Yesterday, he was pretty active throughout the day, but had calmed down by, oh, 9pm. He wore himself out! Hard to believe I enter the third trimester on April 9th....

As for me, my back is my biggest complaint right now. Specifically a spot below my right shoulder blade. I have to recline whenever I sit down or it starts to hurt after 5-10 minutes. I'm going to Holt Chiropractic & it's helping with every other back pain besides that. So that just might be a spot that can't be "fixed". I was getting a tingling/pain under my ribs on the left side...it would bother me the most when I layed on my left side. That's still there a little, but not as bad. So I prop myself up with about 10 pillows on the couch when I'm vegging out. Ok, maybe not 10, but I use basically all the pillows!

Roan's grandma Bibi (my mom) is coming to visit today & tomorrow we're going to Ikea to get a chair for the nursery! Here's hoping he kicks for her!

Ah, time is getting away from me! I have to get ready. I'll probably change how the blog looks and add more to it...later...when I don't have to get ready for work!
