Okay....so I'm really late on updating the blog this week...sorry y'all! I, for the first time, since my morning sickness have had the roughest week of my pregnancy. I unfortunately came down with a cold that feels like the worst cold I have ever had, but it probably just feels that way since I'm restricted to children's cold meds that really don't do much! The baby would not be very happy with me if I tanked up on Nyquil and Theraflu...she's be seeing double floating around in there!

Prior to getting sick though, Matt and I had a busy week filled with everything from my Uncle Bobby's 65th Bday hanging with the family to Halloween dress up and lots of laughs.

Our good friends, the Harvey's, put on a fabulous "Day of the Dead" party at their home where Matt and I attended in our questionable couple's costume....none other than Satan and his pregnant nun! It was hysterical to see people's faces when I turned to the side and they saw The Bump. We had to include the baby girl in our costume of course :)

We were so excited to put together the crib. Really, ever since it was delivered I've been chomping at the bit to get it set up! It wasn't THAT difficult to put together....if the directions had been right. Rule #1: the directions need to be in the correct order! Yep, that's right we got the "special" directions that they put in the crib box to play a practical joke on expecting parents. After realizing this, the remaining construction of the crib was a breeze! It's so cute!! And of course, I had to immediately put on the crib bumper and crib skirt just to see it all together.

Then, Monday night, as I was laid up in bed with my cold, Matt (and Beau) surprised me and put together the changing table/dresser. We love them both...thank you Grandma Channel! I keep walking down the hall and peeking into the nursery just to look at her room, having the furniture up makes it much more real for some reason. My excitement doubles every day...I can't wait to be peeking in on her sleeping in her adorable little bed!

She's weighing in at about a pound and two thirds and fourteen inches long from head to heel. The nerve pathways in her ears are developing which means her response to sound is growing more consistent. Her lungs are developing now, and she is taking small breaths of amniotic fluid at this point.

We are really hoping to get some great shots of her this upcoming Monday. We called into our doctor to request another ultrasound to celebrate her Daddy's 29th Bday. What better way to spend your Bday than checking in on your baby girl!
