Baby Z's Room: Stage One

We spent much of today moving things from our office to the basement. Aaron came over to help. Here's the finished product!






All of our books are now on the floor in the basement. We are hopefully going to get rid of some of them.



Oliver enjoyed every minute of it.

Now our office is in the guest bedroom.

Welcome to the 3rd trimester!!!!!

This past week was officially the first week of me feeling uncomfortable a majority of the time. I had some major difficulty sleeping, experienced some pelvic pain, and just feel awkward in my rapidly changing body. I have already outgrown some of the maternity clothes i did buy, so i had to head back to the consignment shop for more!

The good news it that Noah and I cleared out Baby Z's room today. It is totally empty, ready to be painted and decorated. We are very excited to go shopping for furniture next week. We will be sure to post some pics when we are further along in the process.

On Monday we are heading up to Semiahmoo Resort near Blaine, Washington, to have our last romantic getaway of our non-parenting lives. We are looking forward to just being together and MAYBE finalizing our list of baby names . . .

Thanks to Jen for snapping this pic of me and baby Z!!

Happy New Year!

Sunshine in San Diego!

Last weekend Noah and I took a short trip down to San Diego. Noah attended a Social Studies conference while I explored the city. The first day we were there, it poured rain the whole day!! It was the first day it had rained there in a year or so. The last day were there, Noah played hooky and we took the ferry over to Coronado to sit on the beach for a few hours. it was nice to be in the sunshine and 70 degree weather while Seattle was getting it's first snow storm of the year.

As far as the pregnancy goes, I am still feeling pretty good. the only recurring issues have been the ongoing heartburn and occasional contraction (which is totally normal). When people at work ask me how I am doing, I state the standard response: tired, fat, and hungry (in that order)! I feel like I am getting fatter by the minute! Noah and i are looking forward to working on the baby's room over our winter break in a few weeks.
