17 Weeks







It has been so nice having summer vacation. I am getting a lot done around the house. I am still teaching one class online until the middle of July, but that will be my last online class until after Baby comes.

Last week was my first full week off work, and I definitely took advantage of the free time. I cleaned and organized the baby’s room. I had been using the room as my own personal closet, but now it’s empty and ready for all our baby purchases. We bought a new mattress and boxspring for us and put the old one in the baby’s room for guests. We also bought a changing table/dresser for the baby! That was really exciting! We (well I can’t) just need to get the room painted so we can get the crib and guest bed set up.
I have also been trying to get the house organized now before the baby comes. I went through all our pictures and organized them. I also have lots to take to Goodwill.

I also went to work last week to organize some closets. I don’t think I will go back until August. We had a pretty nice day last Thursday so I got to go to the pool. It was my first time wearing the maternity swimsuit! I included a new belly picture above. I am not sure it has grown too much since the last picture.

Friday was Ed’s birthday so we went out to eat and went to a movie. I am trying to get to the movies a few times this summer because pretty soon it will be hard to make it through a whole movie and we won’t be able to go too much after baby comes.

Saturday was a very fun day. We went to my grandpa’s 80th birthday party and my cousin Rachael’s graduation party. I have included a few pictures from the party above. Most of my mom’s family was home so it was great to visit. After we got back from the party I headed off to my friend Amy’s bachelorette party. We had dinner and did some bar hopping. It was lots of fun, and amazingly, I made it up until 2:00 am. I can’t believe it!

I went back up to Waterloo to visit mom yesterday. It is really nice to visit with her and all the family. We officially started our baby registry at Target today, and Ed and I are planning to go to Babies R Us so we have a variety. There was a lot to think about, but it was also very exciting. I broke down and bought the cutest Pink Floyd t-shirt for baby because Ed likes Pink Floyd.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I am looking forward to visiting with friends and doing some shopping next week. We hope to take a quick trip to Omaha for a weekend and maybe a longer trip somewhere before summer ends. Ed has been such a big help to me, and I really appreciate and love him dearly! It was fun to give him his first Father’s Day card. Take care!
