The Weekend

Hope everyone enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend! Ours was anything but relaxing, as we set out to make A LOT of progress in preparation for Number Two. The hubby gets a big round of applause as he helped me check off much of my to-do list without a single complaint.

Friday morning we were back at the doctor for my 37-week appointment. Shame on the person who coined the phrase "full term" to describe the 37th week of pregnancy. Yes, I feel full term, yet my doctors seem to think I should just hang out with this belly for another 3 weeks, at least. Makes no sense to me. I now present the first (and last!) belly picture. I keep wondering what I look like in comparison to Emory's pregnancy, and I have no idea, because I haven't a single "belly" picture of her. Friday also marked a fun first for Em...her first trip to Leapin' Lizards! We met the Miles girls for a playdate, and although it took about 10 minutes for Emory to warm up, she was soon up and running with the others.

Sliding (socks are required and of course we forgot ours, so we had to buy these beauties once we got there)... Posing with Sallie...

Jumping...

Trying to get a good picture of all three at once (impossible!)... Thanks for the fun playdate girls! We can't wait to do it again soon!

Friday night we shipped Emory off to Mimi and Papa's house to spend the night and play all day Saturday. I wish I could say Aaron and I had a romantic date night, but instead we came home and got straight to work...

The nursery is no longer green, thanks to 3 coats of Crisp Linen. We painted a couple of hours Friday night (we used non-toxic paint, so no fussing at me, please), and then a few hours on Saturday morning. Aaron moved on to some painting that had to be done downstairs, while I worked on some sewing (crib bedding and going home outfits). We cleaned out the nursery closets and some downstairs closets, put away TONS of diapers, I packed away some maternity clothes and the den got a good scrubbin'. Saturday night we were exhausted to say the least, but SOOO much closer to being prepared for Number Two's arrival. Sunday morning we got to spend some time at brunch with some family from Charleston, and it proved to be a much needed break in our busy weekend. Thanks Rachel, Greg and Zoe! We had a wonderful time visiting and can't wait to see you again soon!

While Aaron and I continued cleaning, Emory made a little trip to the Horseshoe to see Aunt Jo on Bid Day.

As the sororities were yelling their cheers, Emory would yell right back!

Jo decided not to pick sides in the ADPi/ZTA war at the Watson household and became a KD!
Congrats, Jo!

Em and I are off to Babies R Us first thing in the morning to get the last of our baby necessities. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have everything on my to-do list done and can relax and enjoy the last couple of weeks with my Baby Girl!
