Quick Updates

Life has been really busy the past few weeks, so here are a few brief updates.

I had a great shower in Green Bay, thanks to all thirty people who came, it was so nice to see everyone again! There were people there from as far away as Utah, Minneapolis and Chicago-how nice. I was able to get all of the gifts back to CO, with the exception of about ten books-Mom and Dad will bring them when they come out in June. Now I need to get things washed and organized.

Dad was here for a week and painted our living room which looks TERRIFIC! He also made hundreds of trips up and down the stairs cutting tile for the bathroom remodel. Jeff is scurrying to finish that up before this weekend when we have guests coming. I'll post before and after pictures once it's completed.

We're having a pergola built over our patio on the side of our house, and once it's done we'll be having the patio slab covered with stone. There is a lot of pounding going on as I type, better now than in a few months! It sure will be nice to get all of these projects completed...I guess this is what they call nesting?

We're having another shower this weekend in Denver. This one is being hosted by our great friends Nicole and Joe. It's a couples shower and should be a good time. After that, Jeff and I can really get to work spending all the gift cards we received in Green Bay!

We started Childbirth Preparation Classes last night. Four classes, 2 1/2 hours each. Besides some deep breathing, we didn't learn anything too exciting during the first class except that blood travels four miles per hour through the placenta (pretty fast, huh?) and there is an Iphone application to time and count contractions during labor. Now I really have to get one!
