I'm a slacker...

Hello everyone! I am sorry I am such a slacker and haven't updated this in a while. Things have been busy so any time I have a spare moment I like to sit on the couch and do nothing. Just ask Joe, he will tell you!!!!
Well, things have been going pretty well lately. We haven't done too much else since we painted and put the furniture together. For those of you who don't know, we have picked a name. It is going to be Kaelyn Marie Reinwand. We just finished our child birth classes which we took for two Saturday mornings. We watched a lot of videos, which Joe turned his head away from most of the time, and learned about the different stages of labor, breathing techniques, and pain options. I actually really enjoyed the breathing part! I have been using it a lot at work when I get stressed out and it helps to make my heart burn go away too!!!! I have been feeling pretty well. The only main thing is I've been getting heart burn more frequently and I have been eating a lot of Tums!!!! I am starting to get more uncomfortable sitting and laying down and can't breathe as well some days. I saw a diagram of how your stomach, intestines, and bladder get squished out of the way of your uterus. It is amazing how the human body works!!!! I have to say that women are amazing for doing this more than once!!!!!! I am starting to get nervous and thinking about all of the "what ifs". And realizing that I am actually going to have to deliver this baby. Crazy!!!!
I had another Dr appt yesterday and everything looks good. I asked about when the soonest they would induce me will be and she said 41 1/2 weeks. I am due April 17th, and my brother is getting married 5 weeks and 2 days after that in Texas. So I am hoping that I will go on time or early so I won't have a 3 week old at the wedding. So everyone cross your fingers and anything else you can so I can make it to the wedding!!!!!! I know that everything will work out how it is supposed to, but I am still a little anxious about it. I just want her to be healthy!!!!!
One fun thing that happened last week was that Kaelyn got the hiccups for the first time!! It was so weird!!!!!! And she has gotten them almost everyday since then. I feel so bad for her, cause I hate the hiccups!!! But it is amazing to feel!!!!
Other than that I have some baby showers coming up, so we are hoping to get the things we need. I can't believe that we only have 7 weeks left!!!!!!

Holy crap.....I mean crib!

Well, we put the crib and dresser together this past weekend. Putting it together was the easy part!! We had Ethan, Kim, Kelsey and Bryson there to help, and it actually went together nice and smoothly. While we were putting it together both Kim and I commented that we thought there was metal on the dresser, but then I didn't really think much about it.
So after that was all done, we all took a trip to Babies 'R Us to see about getting a really good deal on my breast pump. We had a couple of coupons and Kim's 10% discount that we were hoping to use. So we were able to get 35% off which saved us $87!!!! (Thanks Kim, you are the best :)) As Kim was doing that I was off to the bathroom with Kelsey and when we were done I decided to go look at the cribs. It turned out that the crib and dresser that we had just put together were not the one's that we thought we had ordered. After looking at my receipt, the crib and dresser that we ordered and payed for were the one's that got ordered, but they were different than we thought. So the guy who helped us ordered the wrong one's. Any way, to make a long story short, we are keeping the one's we got, because there is no way a sane person would take it all apart, get a friend to bring it down 4 flights of stairs, rent a truck to bring it all back in, reorder the right crib, wait for that to come in, rent another truck to pick the correct one up in, get a friend to bring it up another 4 flights of stairs, and put it all together again!!!!! The bright side is that the one's we did end up with were on clearance and we were able to get some money back. So at least we have it all done and nowwe can just work on getting the last little bit to decorate the nursery!!! Yeah!!!! And it looks soooooooooo cute!!!!
