The Nursery!
The nursery is pretty much complete. After 2 weeks of scurrying around we only lack getting pictures on the wall and the bookshelf cleaned off. Bryan did a wonderful job painting and helping get everything in place. Now we just need Emma to complete it. As you can see from the pics, she is a very loved little girl. A closet full of clothes already that is just newborn to 3 months. Everything else is still bagged up. Her bin full of shoes because let's face it, every girl needs matching shoes. One of the pics is of the spare bedroom where we had to unload all the presents and most of those showing were from our work shower. Going for now but hopefully we will have some exciting pics in the next couple of weeks.

Pictures and surprises
My cousin and I. We are 3 weeks apart. Look how much bigger I am compared to her and this is her 3rd child.
The sign in table. Everything was beautiful.
They had some of the neatest ideas and sayings around the room. I thought this was fitting being so close to Halloween.
They hand painted so many of the decorations and gifts.
These were just a few of the pics from my shower this past Sunday. Our work shower is tomorrow and they are so excited and being so secretive. I wanted to update everyone. I had some problems on Monday and had to see the nurse practioner to be monitored. She never could find or see anything but wanted me to follow up today with my doctor. Dr. Bell checked me and I have dialated to a 1 and the baby has dropped which explains why I haven't been feeling her move so much. I go back in the morning to get checked again. I have a feeling she will be here before Halloween. I'll keep you guys updated. Bryan and I will be scurrying around tonight to get some of the necessities finished. Have a great day.

Updates
We have received Emma's bedding finally. After many months of deciding what her room was going to look like we came to an agreement. I'm posting some pics of the bedding. Also, we have her dresser. My parents were able to find it at a great deal in Lawrenceburg. We are hoping to finish cleaning her room out this weekend and get the holes patched so we can start the painting. I go back to the doctor tomorrow to see what all is going on. Last week when I went, I was measuring shorter than ever and the doctor was a little more concerned. There is a possibility that if the measurement gets any shorter then I will have to go in and have steroid shots just to help with Emma's growth in case she comes early. Their main goal is to get me to 35 weeks. At least if something should happen at that point it won't be as dangerous. I'm posting a pic of my belly so friends and family afar can see the progression. I am now 30 weeks. Poor Bryan is having to help me get off the couch and out of bed more and put up with my bursting into tears at the drop of a hat. I'm also posting a pic of Bryan holding Lilly. After being with me all day, she is inseparable from him at night and on weekends. Well that is all for now. I will have more updates as they come along. We have our baby shower in two weeks and looking forward to seeing a lot of family and friends that I haven't seen in a while.
