We bought a crib yesterday. I stayed home from work b/c I had the glucose test and was so nauseous that I felt better at home. And Shane stayed home too so he took care of me! Anyways, when we went to get a prescription at Wal-Mart, we both decided that we should get a crib. So we cleaned out the spare room and set it up, and made our nursery for Makenzie! I still have to find somewhere to put some of the stuff still in there, (we have NO STORAGE SPACE!!!) but it looks so cute! When we finished, Shane and I just held each other and stared at it. It's beginning to become more real for us. Talking to Dr. Williams yesterday about the specifics of labor and what we think and what she thinks just kind of made us both look at each other and say''wow''.
So, we're having a baby shower in March and after that we'll get whatever else we need. I think this Saturday we're going to look for a dresser for her. We've already gotten so many clothes, from Mom, Mike & Sheila, Laura, Melissa and Keke that we need a dresser! This kid is gonna have more clothes than me and Shane combined!!! Haha! I guess she's starting off right!
Time is winding down now. The big day is getting closer. When I expressed to Dr. Williams that I was so nervous, not about the labor, I'm sure that'll come later; what I'm afraid of is when they hand me Makenzie and then...bam! She's mine! ''Here you go ma'am, DON'T SCREW UP!!!!'' She just laughed at me and said that she isn't worried at all about us, it's the ones that she's afraid they might put the baby in the microwave that she worries about....haha! So that made me feel better! ...a little...
So, for all you mom's out there...what were you most worried about, and did it turn out to be a really serious issue?!?! I just need a group of moms that I can freak out to. Shane tells me all the time that I'll be fine, but he doesn't really understand what I'm freaking out for. He thinks I'm just being silly, and I probably am but I can't stop my hormones and stuff from making me crazy!!! No matter how hard I try to ignore myself!!!! HELP!!!!!
Oh Happy Day!!!

you will be amazing parents... those itty bitty babes just need love, clean diapers, and lots of food and sleep... post a pic. of her room! what colors are you doing? OH and post a pic. of your piano!
I had the same fears when I was pregnant, and I talked to several other people that said they felt the same way (all of which are the best moms I know). So that should make you feel better. I think it just means you take it seriously, and will try hard.
I can't wait to see your beautiful litle girl. CANT WAIT! I think it's funny that one of the people who has given you so much clothes is Keke. She has great taste, and she loves that stuff. She's has to be excited if she is buying clothes.
i will have to come see your crib sometime! and how did the glucose test go?
We tested at 93 which means we're in the clear! Yay! So no problems there!!!
Keke does care...she just seems to be all about her own thing right now.
And I like the color purple! I haven't painted the room b/c I don't think I can. And besides, I'd probably pass out from the smell. But I'm still not sure what kind of 'theme' if any, to do...
