A Big Month

Sorry, friends. Once again it's been far too long since I last posted. Work is busier than ever with getting ready for Homecoming Weekend and making sure that my replacement is trained for when I go on maternity leave. 

Besides that, June has just been a very busy month with graduations, awards ceremonies, birthdays, doctors visits and big developments with regards to the nursery. Two weeks ago my Mom was in town so we went shopping for the furniture. We tried several stores before finding "the one", or in this case, "the set" at Babies R Us. In addition to the crib and attached changer, we also got the matching dresser. I usually gravitate towards lighter shades of wood but the color of this set just seemed so rich and timeless.   

The boxes of furniture are now sitting in the middle of the room waiting for Leo to work his magic. My plan is to have the room completely cleaned out and prepped this weekend so that painting can commence soon after. Next weekend we are planning on registering and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to it. Oh my goodness, who am I kidding - I can hardly contain myself! As far as the theme for the nursery, initially I had wanted to do traditional Winnie the Pooh but now I have my eye on this set that I saw at Babies R Us - totally cute, don't you think? 

Leo and I went to my last ultrasound appointment at the Perinatal Center yesterday. The pictures were even clearer than the last and we even caught a glimpse of our little one kicking his leg up nearly up to his head. (he's been very active lately - I feel him kicking most of the day now) Luckily, the technician was able to capture this funny image for us to take home. The best part though was hearing him say that everything looked normal. (Yay!)

I also conquered a pretty big fear of mine by going to the dreaded dentist last Wednesday. (hopefully I'm not the only one who avoids the dentist like the plague) Not only did I go but I also got some much needed work done, including a thorough cleaning. Everyone in the office was so nice and willing to do whatever it took to put my fears at ease. When all the work was done, the dentist walked me out of the office, gave me a big hug and said I had done wonderfully...it was just so nice, I have to say. 

Lastly, I don't do this often but I have a prayer request for a fellow blogger (and friend) who recently completed a round of IVF and is waiting to find out the outcome. I can't imagine what she is going through right now. Please lift her up in prayer - just as you did for me. The issue of infertility still weighs heavily on my heart. It's tough because I meet women all the time who are doing their best to navigate, live with and overcome this growing issue. I'm praying hard that my friend quickly becomes one of them.  

As always, thank you for listening! (reading) I hope everyone is well and happy.

Enjoy the Day!
