32 weeks-ish

Okay, here's the scoop. I wanted to post some pictures of the things we've been doing around the house, but I haven't put the pictures on the computer yet, so I haven't posted yet. My bad. Sorry I was a liar Brad. 

So here's what's been going on: I went to the doctor on Monday and everything is fine. Li'l Cleatus still likes to kick a lot, especially when Dr Porter is trying to listen to his heartbeat. It makes me laugh to watch the doppler thingy bounce when he kicks at it. That's the biggest highlight of the appointment these days.

Other big news (thanks for the spoiler comment Sam) is that our railing around the stairs is finally up! Huzzah! It still needs one more coat of paint, but it's up and our house is at least 70% safer. Originally we were going to stain the top part to match the floor, but life got complicated and so in order to get it up before the Second Coming we decided to just paint the entire thing white. Pictures to come.

We bought a crib and a recliner this last week, and now both of them are in our house! We haven't put the crib together yet because my aunt and uncle are sleeping in the baby's room so there's no room for the crib yet. But we'll get it up soon so I can go in there and stare at it in all its majesty. The recliner isn't anything special. I think it was the cheapest one at RC Willey. Not that that's the reason we bought it—it just worked out that way. It's comfy and meets our needs so we're satisfied. Here's a picture of the crib I found online. 

Now that we've finished painting the last of the walls, we've started hanging things up. It makes our house look more like a home. I like it. I'm excited to have family pictures taken this summer (both with my family and with Nate's) so I'll have new pictures to hang up. Pictures of what the walls look like now to come.

I had Nate take a picture of me last week so that you all can see how large in stature I am, and I promise I'll post it when I post the rest of the pictures. It seems like it's harder to get Nate to take a picture of me than for me to let my picture be taken. I have to coax him into taking pictures. Maybe it's because I'm a little picky and make him keeping taking pictures until I'm happy with how I look. BabyCenter.com isn't cooperating right now, so I can't post a picture of what food item the baby most resembles. All I know is that he's almost 4 pounds and almost 17 inches (give or take) and weighs about the same as a large jicama. Hooray for obscure vegetables!

I guess that's all for now. If I think of anything else that's cool I'll post it sooner rather than later. And maybe I'll get to the pictures tonight when I get home from work.
