Our "to-do" list is winding down. We finished our bedroom. The trim is officially finished. Yay!!! It looks lovely. All the rooms have been repainted. I ordered the bedding for the nursery from Pottery Barn. If you'd like to take a look on-line, it is called "Katie." We received the bumper this week, so we can begin searching for paint. I can't decide if I want to paint it a very soft, lime green or a deeper green tone. Last weekend Chris and I purchased a coffee table for our living room. I also received the stars my Mom sent, so the decor in the living room is coming together. All in all, our entire house is becoming more like a home.
Now if only I could have a full-time husband... Chris has been traveling an insane amount. The end of February he left for nearly a week in Virginia, came back and left the following week for South Carolina. He leaves again this week for Washington D.C. He was supposed to travel the last week in March to D.C. again, but cancelled. AMEN! It isn't as though we have such an exciting life, but it is not the same when he is gone. Harvest is great company, but he too, can be exhausting. He needs a haircut bad. Because of this, he is too hot and wants to go outside constantly.
As for the baby...I had an appointment last week. She is doing well. Her heartrate was 150 bpm. I gained more weight--getting very tired of that. We have another ultrasound scheduled for the 27th, along with the glucose screening and exam. I did receive the results of the screening for Down's syndrome and other neural defects and all is well. No red flags have been raised. I also have begun to feel her kick. That hit me about a week ago. It is truly the strangest feeling. I would compare it to butterflies in my stomach. Feels different. I have tried to have Chris feel, but she seems to stop kicking when he attempts to feel. An update: when we were watching a movie last night, the baby was kicking like crazy. I could actually see her kick by watching my stomach, so Chris felt the movement for the first time. He is pleased that she is active. She is keeping his hopes for a sports player alive!

We had a large amount of snow (12 inches) accumulate through the night, so as I updated this blog, I decided to include a picture of my poor husband shoveling. I felt somewhat bad about not being able to help, but it was nice at the same time. Does that make me an evil person? I did cheer him on through the window, but I am not sure he appreciated that.
