Shalon's new bed

This weekend we got Shalon a bed and put the crib away in the basement for a month or two until the baby grows out of the bassinet. Shalon loves the bed. She has her big stuffed dog on it and just snuggles up to it every night. She is the best little toddler. Once we put her in bed she doesn't get back out of bed even though she still doesn't have a door hung for her bedroom. She no longer makes her way back into our bed. HOORAY!!

Wes's family came over on Saturday. They went to work and helped us accomplish some projects that have been needing to get done. My cupboard doors are hung, shelving is up in the basement and a ton of boxes got unloaded that were sitting down there. Wes put up all new lighting in the kitchen and installed an outlet and switch for the dishwasher and garbage disposal. We really appreciate all that was done. Thank you! I need to take some pictures...

5 weeks from today.... In some ways I can't wait. I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore and to not have to be so careful with my diet. Although I don't think that I will completely go back to how I was before. I still want to be cautious because I don't want to develop Type 2 Diabetes. However, I am not sure I'm ready for 2. I hope this baby is as good as Shalon was.

I'm so excited that Shalon sleeps so well in her bed. I've been procrastinating trying with Sydney. Yay for getting your house all in order before the baby is born! I'm sure that takes a load off your mind.

You guys are so handy. Way to do it yourselves! Good luck on this last stretch, as you know, it's worth it!

Good job braving it on the big girl bed. I just set up a pack and play in Asher's room today because he will be staying in his crib for a while longer. Unfortunately I don't think a big bed would be a good idea yet, at least not for my sleep :-) I have probably 2 weeks left. It is a little scary. 2 wasn't bad for me, but not sure what 3 will do for my sanity!
