Lots of good news to report on today. Hopefully I don't rant too much.

First off, Chris and his dad painted the nursery. It looks pretty fresh and nice, I wasn't sold initially on the colour cause I liked the last colour but its grown on me and I like it now. It looks really nice with all the furniture in there. Well, almost everything. The crib is still missing, I can't wait to put it in there and see what it all looks like! The painting was done very quickly, and Chris's mom came along and cleaned up the place. After they took us out for lunch. Geez we are spoiled eh? Thanks guys!

Secondly, Chris is back to work. He's been helping our neighbour with some projects he needed a hand with and so far Chris is really enjoying it. One of the homeowners has a son and knows that Chris is expecting a baby so she has offered us some furniture pieces as well as made us a casserole one night. Very sweet! It's been a bit of a relief as well because I've taken a cut in hours at work so I was getting nervous.

Regarding little Miss Lackey, everything seems to be going fine. We had an appointment not too long ago and were told everything seems to be smooth sailing. We have our pre-natal classes on March 19th and 20th to teach us all about all the stuff we need to know about becoming moms and dads. Then we are waiting to hear back from the birthing center so we can go in and talk about a birth plan. Our OB seemed pretty dismissive about the whole thing, saying birth plans are essentially all the same (I want easy, pain free, etc). Needless to say, I am not his biggest fan. Oh, and I got a short video of her giving a little kick.Exciting stuff!

Valentine's day was recently as well. Chris's parents surprised me with a card, some chocolate and the best present EVER. My Snoogle!I swear I've had more luck sleeping through the night with the pillow than I have in WEEKS. I'm not sorry to say we didn't do anything special. Chris stayed home with the dogs while I went out with a friend and had some "mom talk" with her mom. It was good to talk to someone who had been through the experience I am currently going through, even though a lot of what she experienced I can't relate to as she had complications and I haven't had any yet (fingers crossed it stays that way). I also got to talk a bit about the baby shower with my friend who is planning it, I am very excited to see who ends up going and how everything will look etc.

Anyways, thats about all the news for now. I am including pics of the nursery as well as some other little fun things. Hope everyone has had a chance to enjoy this wonderful weather!
