In Charge

I was in charge today. With PC being so busy in school, I was given the responsibility to research and buy a camera. Not just a point and shoot camera, but a real digital SLR. I feel like I've been inducted into adulthood along with the rest of my family that has cool cameras. Here is the one we (insert "I") settled on...

I am so excited and have no idea how to really use it.

In other news, (since I've figured out how to put pictures with links on here - can you tell I'm pleased with myself?), here is the bedding that I finally decided on for the nursery along with the crib and dresser that we got.

Off to finish my other baby projects. I will post pictures when they are done and I figure out how to turn on the new camera. :-)

What have we been up to? Here is a quick update as "the date" gets nearer.

PC:

• New job jitters and inevitable settling-in period.
• School, school, and more school.
• Band.
• Making dinners when he's home (my Honey is the best!).
• Being patient when I explain the uncomfortable ins and outs of pregnancy.
• Being cute.
• Getting ready for Baby Girl.

Me:

• Finding new and creative ways to clean for minimal swelling and backache.
• Talking to myself and Baby Girl when we are the only ones home :)
• Finding more and more things for my list of to dos.
• Deciding that those things probably won't get done in the next 2 1/2 weeks.
• Reading everything I can find on pregnancy and newborns.
• Being clumsy (I broke our camera last week by simply dropping it - bummer).
• Weekly Doctor appointments.
• Getting the Nursery put together.

Baby Girl:

• Head down.
• Sinking lower.
  
• Hiccups.
• Punching (luckily no kicks to the ribs yet).
• Moving at the sound of Daddy's voice when he comes home.
  
• Favorite Place: a nerve in Mommy's right leg.

I did take pictures of my swollen feet (I will post next time) and had the intention of taking a "pregnant picture" when I broke the camera. Sorry Rach. Just trust that I'm large. People who haven't seen me in a while walk right past me in the store. It's kind of unnerving. Hopefully we get the new camera before Baby Girl's arrival and I can document my big belly.
