Closer to Finished

Well, this has been a good week.  Went back to the doctor's of Friday and  all was well.  My belly did grow 1 cm so Shrimpy is still gaining weight.  We also did fetal monitoring and his heart-rate and response to some mild contractions was perfect too. (So they say, I did not feel those contractions).  My contractions are working as I continue to dilate and efface. More each week!  The end is near!

I finally found the energy to make curtains for the nursery.  They are yellow with lots of small squares in blues and reds and greens.  The best part is they block out the hot sun and the cold winds in the summer and winter, as well as the sun that beats through the west window as it sets.   You can see the difference in glare even with the window shade between the two photos. 

So, the nursery is pretty much done, except for eventually moving furniture in there, and some small stuff like a humidifier.  I may make some stuffed letters for one wall with his initials.  On the other hand, I may run out of time to do that!

Mom and Dad S will be here Monday as my brother and his wife are due this week and it is Spring Break in TX.  Hooray for cousins!  This is going to be fun!  Not too many more blogs to go before there is a photo of the little guy in the outside world. 

Take care!
