We took this morning as our opportunity to finish up the nursery and are pleased it is done before the holidays, Caleb's birthday, and Calvin's birth (hopefully in that order!). Only things left to do are hang the mobile and the baby monitor.

Update
We haven't been as good about taking and posting pictures, but here are some updated ones...
I'm struggling a bit with buying the right fruit/veggie for the weekly pictures. There are such huge variances in size of each one. I think the spaghetti squash was much bigger than the coconut, but oh well.
Still feeling pretty good. Last week was rough and I was beginning to wonder how I would make it six more weeks, but this week has been much better! My braxton hicks were getting pretty painful. They are still happening, but not near as painful. I was also super, super tired last week. I was really struggling to get a good nights sleep. Not sure if baby moved or what, but I am sleeping much better.
Baby is still looking good, but didn't grow quite as much as expected at our last appointment. He grew one weeks worth instead of two. The doctor didn't seem too concerned, but said if we aren't seeing a bigger growth by my next appointment (Tuesday), she will do an ultrasound to double check things. Baby is moving like crazy and has a strong heartbeat. She's confident he will have a bigger growth at this check, so fingers crossed for that! I'm also supposed to be checking my blood pressure between appointments now to keep an eye on pre-eclampsia. I have a few signs, but nothing alarming yet. So far, blood pressure has stayed well below an alarming range.
As for the to do list, not much progress! Nothing really needs done, but would be nice to get done. Here is what is still on it:
- install new blinds (here, just not hung up.)
- hang up bookshelves (here, painted, just not hung. We did get Caleb's hung)
