Yes, I have said it. I am finally nesting. It has come to that point where I have no choice but to do so. It didn't come naturally, I had to force myself. I put a picture up on facebook of the crazy nursery I'll try to get it up on this blog. There was stuff all over the floor color splotches all over the walls. It looked pretty bad....I thought it was funny, others did not. So I decided to get my butt in gear. Paul and I have decided that we enjoy doing things...everything.......the hard way. :) Nesting has consisted of
1.Finding a color for the walls
2. Stripping, sanding and painting (thank you Paul) the chest of drawers we had in the spare that we'll use for her dresser.
3. Putting in a white fan instead of brown. The brown one made the room look real dark.
4. Finding wooden letters for her name to put on the wall. 5. Putting together a book shelf thing that we got for a wedding gift. It will also go in her room.
6. Picked out fabric!! Finally. :)
So things are coming along...slowly.
Paul's mom is planning to come in next weekend to paint the room. Thank God! So I can check that off my check list. I have my first shower next week from my other home at Northwest, I can't wait to see those people. :) 
Pregnancy:.....I feel really bad about complaining about it all the time but, I figured this is my blog and I'm telling the truth....it sucks. I cannot walk for any length of time without this GODLY amount of pressure in my pelvis area. Let me try to describe what it feels like. It feels like 60lbs of cinder blocks sitting in my pelvis trying to get out (her head) because of the amount of pressure my pelvis radiates heat!!!! It's pretty bad. Oh and this is a new and fun development, my right arm, every night at the same time hurts like a B****, during my nightly routine Paul has to massage it. I would like to make a list of things you normal people should STOP right now taking for granted:
1. Bending over
2. Putting your shoes on (I procrastinate and DREAD putting my shoes on)
3. Reaching for something on the top shelf
4. Standing and cooking
5. Getting out of bed, off the couch, out of a chair and the tub
6. Putting pants on
I for one, will NEVER, EVER take any of those things for granted ever again.
I went to body pump the other day, I felt like a normal contributor to society once again. I was dying yesterday and today from the amount of soreness. But, in a way I liked it. :)
I think I have decided for sure to take all 12 weeks of my maternity leave. Even though we'll be out a whole pay check one month and half a pay check another week, I've heard it's worth it. If I go in on March 7th (her due date) it will be exactly 12 weeks on the last day of school. Soooooo I CANNOT have her early. I'll have to squeeze tight. ;)
