Getting Ready For Baby Jonah

It's official... induction has been set for Thursday, July 30. I check into the hospital at 5:00 AM and the clock is ticking. Nesting has really set in with this baby... or maybe I just have more time on my hands to get ready. I seldom get to bed before midnight, and feel that I accomplish so much more after everyone goes to bed. I start each week making a gigantic list of things that I want to accomplish, and check things off as I go. We have gone from completely changing around our room, to organizing closets, to emptying out the extra bedroom in order to make room for Jonah. We are quickly outgrowing our house.

Kasiana came during the school year in March and I was on bed rest right before. With Jonah, I feel like I am nesting for two now.... since I didn't do Kasiana's nursery completely the way that I wanted it before. Several people have reminded me that it didn't really matter, since she never really used her bed and is STILL sleeping in our bed. That's okay, I enjoy my cuddle time with our baby girl. I've really tried to go in and get her room organized and looking cute. I'll post pictures of her room later. It is almost finished. Her theme is "Froggy Princess". I'm finally getting around to making the quilt that I bought all the material for last year. I've also learned to crochet this summer, and have been crocheting some receiving blankets for Jonah. One of the symptoms of this pregnancy are my hands and fingers going to sleep. I have completely lost feeling in about three fingers... so it makes working with my hands extremely difficult and annoying. I have to say it is better than the carpel tunnel that I had when I was pregnant with Kasiana.

Some of my friends from the ward through me a really nice shower. It was so nice to see everyone, and catch up. I got some really great gifts and Jonah is going to probably going to have to remind me later that "he is not a whale". We've decided to go with the whale theme in his nursery, and some of my friends surprised me with buying the crib bedding that I decided was just too expensive to buy. I absolutely love the way that it is turning out and all I can say is this baby will be sleeping in his crib...

The theme at the shower was whales and I even got some whale clothes for the little guy...

Jonah I know your not a little whale...

Kasiana can't wait to see Jonah...
Right now, she's looking for him through her "flashlights" as she calls them...

Yes, those bottles go to the breastpump... She was doing a little cleaning herself...

Andrea, my sister in law, brought over some beautiful furniture for us to use.

Now all that's left to do is hanging up some letters for his name on the wall, and figuring out what we're doing for curtains, a lamp, and a rug...

More pictures of the shower...

Thank you Allison, Karla, Kim, and Samantha for hosting such a fun party.

Thanks to all my friends for coming and the wonderful gifts.

Thanks to my sweet husband who entertained Kasiana and a some of her friends at the pool for hours at the pool while the women hung out. He runs a pretty good daycare.
