LOTS has been going on in the Horan household! I am 32 weeks and am now counting down the days... (58 today!) I am getting very anxious to meet my baby girl but know I still have 2 months left and am thankful that she is healthy and growing!
Speaking of growing - boy do I feel pregnant. And my hands and feet are suffering. My rings get tight pretty quick so I am debating whether I keep trying to wear them or just forgo it the rest of the summer. My feet are also hurting and swollen. I have found sitting on the deck with my feet in water helps! Otherwise the mornings and evenings are the worst. So much for my walks...
Other than the baby girl update, we have been BUSY updating our house. As a good friend of mine said to me recently - I am taking the "nesting" phase to a whole new level. I am even surprising myself but want to get everything done before the baby comes and before August so I can spend the last month just relaxing.
We have completed some backyard projects - trees down, bushes removed and landscaping done. My hubby has been busy! We also installed new carpet in the lower level. It really makes such a difference and looks so much more cozy. And this week we installed new stainless steel appliances. We have been wanting to do this for a long time and with the 4th of July weekend we found an amazing deal too good to pass up!
For the 4th of July we went to our friend Sarah & Kevin's for a BBQ then back home to watch the firework show our neighbor always puts on. Jimmy wanted to contribute to the show this year so we made a trip to Wisconsin to buy some "real" fireworks. Jimmy thought we should take the dogs as they haven't been out of state before. He was pleased when Koby did #2 once we arrived in the state of Wisconsin (that's for you, Packers!) LOL :)
I think time will probably continue to go fast from here on out. I received 4 of the baby shower invitations my friends and family are hosting for me. I feel SO blessed! It is overwhelming to have people in your life give and care for you so much. Baby girl is one lucky lady already! :)
The nursery is coming together as well. We painted and picked up most of the furniture. My Mom sacrificed her time and money and made her comforter, pillow and curtains. It turned out beautiful and I am so excited to see it all come together! Our in-laws are buying our crib and it's on back order but should come in soon. Our family's generosity is overwhelming!
This week I have a Dr Appt then next week is my first baby shower. I am so excited!
Love,
Kristin
