via photography and videography.
We named her: Kathryn, she weighted: 7lbs 10oz.

She is a very happy baby and is enertaining us all. :-)

Due date

It is 14 days till the due date of our coming little one. I guess we will see if she comes early, on time, or late. I am very excited that we are getting close! The midwife says that she is very healthy and doing great. Praise God! The midwife also says that I am doing great! Another blessing. :-) I have cleaned the house completely and keep finding other little things that I want to get done. It has been wonderful!

Newest Craving

Strawberries....It is like I can not get enough. Last week it was Grapefruit (I am still eating them too). It is just really funny to be craving strawberries. Not ice cream, chocolate, coffee, doughnuts or even bread. Just strawberries. Go figure. At least I am craving something that is good for me. :-)

Today

Today I am spending the day with my husband at the office. I thought I would bring him lunch and then decided to hang around (he really likes it when I hang around). It is so sweet! He is at the moment listening to Klove and whistling with the songs. I love it! I was knitting and finished the project I was working on so I thought I would see what all my blogger friends had to say. After that I got ambitious and decided to write something.

I love the weather that we are having right now. It is hot, without being miserably hot. :) Yesterday in the evening when Matt got home we planted some flowers in the front yard. It was a ton of fun and it looks great. I love flowers and plants. My favorite plants are herbs. They smell good, some taste good and they are neat looking. Anyway, I am loving the weather, now that it finally feels like spring.

By the way you should check out my friends blog. She is a new blogger and is doing a fabulous job. :) http://anurseslife-jessi.blogspot.com/

Well, I better run.

Baby room!!!

It is coming together, slowly. :-) We have the baby bed up and the dresser set up. I have a bunch of pictures and pretty things that I want to hang up on the walls, but I really need Matt's help for that. I am sure that we will get them up before too much longer. Who knows maybe tomorrow since we don't have any plans so far. We decided on light pink, lavender, sage green and a cream for the colors and they look great together. The Moms are working on a quilt for Kathryn and her room. It will look marvelous. I can not wait to see it all done. I have been working on baby blankets and booties, bonnets and jackets. They are so much fun to make.

I am not able to do as much as I was a few weeks ago, it is like someone pulled out my batteries. I do a little and then have to stop and rest. :-) This is really hard for me, but Matt is really glad that I am finally slowing down.

Well, I should go and get some rest. :-) Talk to you all later.
