30 before 30 - #24 Update

So I am nearing the end of this pregnancy and my hubs and I will soon welcome our first child into the world.  It has been a fairly easy pregnancy, no morning sickness, a little back pain, and a moderate weight gain.  I have survived the heat of the summer by not departing our home when the sun is up. 

Here is a pictoral progression of the pregnancy:

Nursery Completed

My wonderful husband finish the nursery and it looks awesome!  Here is how it looked when it was a guest room 3.5 years ago:

Here is the same area of the room but now a nursery:
  

My husband refinished an antique dresser and we added a convertible crib & an awesome chair from IKEA to the room

Kitchen Organization

I am in the beginning phases of nesting and decided to tackle our kitchen.  I have to see things in order to remember them so our fridge has become a catch-all.  My hubby gripes about the mess I create so I decided to do something about it.

I did some research on various blogs and created a hybrid of what I found.

It is a work in progress but a vast improvement!!!

Nursery - Phase 1

My wonderful husband has been hard at work transforming our guest room into the nursery.  He chose the paint colors and has a design in his mind.  Our neighbor is helping close off the closet so that little hands will not disrupt our heating/cooling system.

Step 1 - painting over the tannish yellow color

Step 2 - adding the darker brown to the top and bottom of the walls

Step 3 - Painting the dresser

Step 4 - ????

I realized that it would be cool to chronicle the progression of this pregnancy for all to see.  Here is the pregnancy so far in pictures:

13 Weeks, though the placement of the picture was horrible with that wicked shadow on the wall.

16 weeks, much better location for picture

22 weeks, plus that shirt enhances the pregnancy look

25 weeks, starting to really feel pregnant

Today, 31 weeks, another pregnancy enhancing shirt.

Another perk of our spring break trip was I got to drive Sue's BMW 328i, which is worth more than $50,000.  It was a very smooth drive and pretty awesome

30 before 30 - #18 - Road Trip

During Spring Break 2012, Nate and I ventured south to visit our dear friends Sue & Dave.  We spent 4 days on Lake Wylie in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Our trip took us through IN, KY, TN, and NC.  Once in NC, we ventured into South Carolina via the boat.  It was a glorious trip, 80s and sun shine.  We spent a day on the boat and played 18 holes of golf.  Nate drank a bunch of beer and I laid around preggo!!!
