Station 77

I am privileged to work with a really amazing group of people. Here are some pictures from a recent work party...

Sorry this is a lousy picture. It got dark outside and my camera was not on the right setting. Molly is a nurse I work with and she is due in mid September. Her baby was an "oops" and she told me that she was pregnant the day before I found out I was! Her daughter will be named Emma. What's that I hear?? Is it the sound of wedding bells in our future? Could she be my future in law?? only time will tell... Emma may have to compete with our friend's little Auriana who arrived in June...

This is Christina (red hair) and Dessia (blonde hair). I am kneeling bc they are both tiny and I am tall. (note to self : acquire more friends my height) Ssia will be my doula when I give birth so you'll see more pictures of her later I am sure.

This is a recently retired nurse that didn't know I was pregnant until she saw me. She was a bit surprised! She made me promise to take good care of him and "be a good girl".

I promise, Sharon, to do both the very best I can.

Love,

Nursery

Well, we have everything for the nursery! Derek took an old dresser and painted it.
I found winnie the pooh drawer pulls, here's an example of one of the characters
This dresser matches the bedding we picked out
Some of you may know Derek and I have been househunting. Long story short there is a whole lot of crappy houses out there. We are still looking, though but I am skeptical we will find something in time for baby. Wish us luck though!! We're not sure if the nursery will be set up in our condo or in a house so right now it's all a big pile.

Fun stuff. Here is the latest picture of "belly" or as my sister Jen nicknamed him "Roy"
a lot of people tell me I don't look 61/2 months pregnant. I think they are nuts. I love it though, feeling our baby move inside me is amazing. I still get mesmerized watching my belly rise and fall as he flips around. It's magical. Except when he kicks my bladder, that stings a bit. Oh well the third trimester begins in two weeks, I hear that is when the real fun begins!!

Thanks for reading my blog!
