Readying the Nest!

We are trying desperately to get the house ready for Jameson. It is amazing how much needs to be done for a tiny infant. It doesn't all need to be done, but I would feel better if it was! One major accomplishment was painting. The kitchen, foyer, downstairs bathroom, upstairs hallway, and all three bedrooms upstairs were finally painted. That is something that has been needed since we moved in! They all look great; thank you to Whitwell Painting! The problem now is that everything is a mess! We are attempting to get it all back together, but finding time between work, school, ball practice, play practice, ball games, and doctor appointments, is difficult!

I think we finally have all the major things we really need. We bought a little bassinet type thing tonight and some storage baskets. We also got the pacifiers I have been looking for and a Snugli. The boys needed another bookshelf in the playroom, so we bought them one. Joey says I will think of something else and I'm sure I will!

I had my weekly appointment today. I had the non-stress test first (as usual). As soon as she got Jameson's monitor on me, he started hiccuping. It was so cute! His heart rate dipped a little lower than they would like a couple of times, so I had an ultrasound. It wasn't a regular one and we never really saw anything more than his spine and neck. They said my fluid was a little low, so I will get another ultrasound next week. Next week I also start going to the doctor twice a week. After my four hour visit today, I'm not looking forward to going twice each week! On a positive note, I have officially made it farther than I did with Justin!

Storms came through our area last night and today. There were many tornadoes spotted, but no one I know was seriously hurt. They cancelled school today because of it, which means I did not have to use another sick day! I'm trying to save as many as possible.

Jackson is in the high school play this weekend, The Wizard of Oz. I can't wait and I know he will make a fabulous munchkin and flying monkey. Follow the yellow brick road!
