Two is Better then One

When I got home from California, the nursery was textured and ready for paint. On Friday after work, Correy primered the room so that it was all ready for paint. Saturday we had to go into town to get white paint for the ceiling and closet, and we got a paint that went on pink and dried white so that we would make sure that we weren't missing any spots. It was really cool but the pink doesn't really show up in pictures. But if you look close you may be able to tell that it has a pink tint to it. On Sunday, when we got home from Church we painted the nursery and I love the way that it turned out. Afterwards I was exhausted so I laid down and took a nap, while Correy helped his parents move furniture and when I woke up he was just moving the last bit of furniture. He decided he wasn't tired and was feeling rather productive so he swept the Nursery and started to lay down carpet, as he was getting to the end and just needed to to the closet I started vacuuming and by the time ...

The last Thursday of September I flew out to spend a week with my family since I wont see them again till the baby is born. That Friday I took my mom and sister out to get our nails done. I did french tip on my fingers and then a turquoise on my toes. I have never gotten a pedicure before and it was amazing, I wish that I could have one everyday. But I would have to be rich. Saturday was my baby shower, but I dont have any pictures of it yet. I got a lot of cute stuff. Then as a group gift I got the sleeper that I wanted to go beside my bed and my infant carrier, along with diapers and wipes. On Monday I went to see my grandparents and spend some time with them. It happened to be the time of year that their pears were ripe, so I got Parker to climb and the tree and get all the ones up high since I wasn't in a position to climb the tree. The last two years I haven't been able to be there when the pears were ripe so I was excited for it. Tuesday we spend running around town and s...

So in this past month we have been really busy trying to get all of our little projects done before the baby gets here. And now I can say that my living room is complete. We picked up a couch, tv and tv stand for really cheap. Correy enjoys his TV that he has wanted since we have gotten married, and we have watched a lot more movies and played a lot more video games since.

So I ended up winning Gender Wars on the radio and I got a 25 dollar gift card to a Japanese Sushi and Steak House. I got Hibachi chicken which was so yummy and it was great to watch them cook right in front of you, and Correy got Shrimp Tempura Sushi, and we kind of shared, no worries the sushi was completely cooked. I went to Twin Falls with Correy on Wednesday cuz he had a few hours of work in Jerome and then we headed into Twin Falls to do some shopping. Then Thursday afternoon to Friday afternoon we watched the triplets and it was fun yet exhausting. On Friday we took them to the Zoo and then to Cragios, since they were free to eat and I had a coupon for Correy and I and it is like my all time favorite place to eat. The girls really took to Correy, it was cute they were always holding his hand or wanting to be held.

Correy finished the drywalling of the nursery after a long couple days of work, and I wish that meant we were done. He started the mudding and got pretty far but we still have to do some sanding and possibly some touch up work before we can texture. Hopefully we can get texture done in the next few weeks and then the walls painted and I think it will start looking more like a nursery and less like a construction zone.

I am now 25 weeks and starting to really get a huge belly, and the baby is gaining half a pound a week, I feel like he is going to be hear in no time. So we went in for our 24 week appointment, it was a quick one. They checked his heartbeat which is really strong, and they measured my belly and it looks like he is growing on track. I go back in for my 28 week appointment in 3 weeks and I get to take the glucose tolerance test, and hopefully I will pass so that I dont have to have it again. And at that point I will be in my 3rd trimester so I will be going in every 2 weeks, I already feel like I go there so often, and then soon after that every week, it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't live an hour away. Pictures of me at 24 weeks with baby Keegan (and not wearing maternity shirt or dress; I don't think that will last much longer)

So I have been really bad about updating do to being busy and technically issues. We had our 20 week appointment on July 29th and it went really well. Keegan was moving all around, almost a little too much, and the tech was getting mad at him for not staying still so that she could get her measurements. He is measuring 3 days ahead like he was before and was weighing 12 ounces. Everything looked great, we have a video of him moving around like crazy and all of our pics are kind of blurry so i am glad that we did the private ultrasound at 16 weeks, we got better pictures at that one. There was one thing that concerned them, which was that my cervix was only measuring at 2.23 cm, when it should have been 3 to 4 cm. Which meant that I was now high risk for preterm labor. (I think I wished for a November baby a little too hard.) She told me we would recheck at my next appointment, put me on pelvic rest and told me to take it easy. Here is a picture of me at 20 weeks, getting bigger, but no...

So we began construction on the nursery. But before we could start we had the task of cleaning out the Nursery, which of course no one looked forward to. Here is some pictures of the nursery before we cleaned it out. And here is the closet, that we had to go through, sort, box up and move. But we did finally finish, and it only showed us how much work we had to do. Doesn't the closet look so big now that nothing is in it? So Correy started working on Drywall, I wanted to help but lets face it, I couldn't do anything but get in the way. After 12 hours of work he finally finished, I was surprised in took so long because he only had the closet, one wall and the ceiling, I would have hated to see him doing the whole room by himself.

So on Friday we went in for my 16 week appointment at the doctors office and his heart rate was at 150, and we could hear him moving around, he is such an active baby. And we had made an appointment with a ultrasound clinic in Salt Lake to figure out the gender on Saturday. On saturday we got up early and drove down to Salt Lake, we stopped at Tremont around 11 to get some lunch before the appointment. And after we left and were about a half hour away, I realized I couldn't find my phone and we called it and I couldnt hear it in the car. Then some guy answered it, luckily it was the Wendy's manager and he said he would keep it in the safe till we came back for it, we couldn't turn around now to get it or we would be late for our appointment. So we continued on knowing that it was safe. We got to our appointment a little early so we got to be seen early. The ultrasound tech was an obgyn form Europe so that was really cool. First he showed us the baby's profile and kept g...
