Well, I'm still here ~ no baby yet. :) I'm feeling pretty good all around. I have been having some minor contractions at night.

..they probably start around 7 or so and go on and off most of the night.

One woke me up Saturday night...

but I fell back asleep and didn't have any more after that. I'm hoping that all this means when I go to see the midwife tomorrow she tells me I'm 3 cms dilated (or more!) but I'm not going to hold my breath.

..

We are going tomorrow for an Ultrasound, too.

She said she'd like to know how big the baby is ~ I would, too! I'm a little excited. I've been having dreams about having a really easy labor and how beautiful the new baby is going to be.

..I even had a dream last night that she was going to have red hair like my niece, Angelina.

I also had a dream she was a blondie like her brother...

so, she'll probably be a brunette! :)

Friday, I got my furniture for the new baby's room! My mother-in-law took me to K-mart and we found the that I was looking at and she bought it for us!

We had to have Jerry's Uncle Bob come pick it up for us because it was too big and heavy for any of us. :) I'm still waiting for Jerry to build it, though..

.that's a whole different story.

Then, I went to my sister's house for a small party for her husband's birthday.

The cake they had was adorable. It had a picture of Jason when he was probably around 18 months old. He was wearing a Steeler's outfit and the cake said something along the lines of "Biggest Steeler Fan for 30 years now!

" :) Very cute.

Saturday, I took Nate and we went shopping. I was determined to get the heck out of the house and spend some money.

..it was just the mood I was in and it really did make me feel a lot better.

I got material for curtains for the new baby's room. I picked up a pattern for her Christening gown (my mom is going to use the material from my wedding dress to make the gown ~ I'm really excited about it!).

I also went to Babies R Us just to look around ~ it was nuts because they were having some kind of a Baby Shower event and there were pregnant women everywhere! I had to laugh because so many of them were whining!

"But that's not the one I want!

", "That's the one I want but I wanted it in green!", "We have to get it now..

.the red sticker means that they don't have any more!" hehehe

So, I bought a hamper for the new baby's room, a picture to hang on the wall that says, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls", and a pack of pink hangers.

:) Oh, and a milestone calendar - a pink one that is just like the one I have for Nate.

Then we went to the mall..

.Nate and I ate Chick-fil-a for lunch. He had a few chicken nuggets and I had a chicken sandwich.

We shared a fruit bowl. Then headed to Boscov's. I bought 2 baby girl outfits there and a toy car for Nate (because he didn't get enough at Christmas, right?

). I also got a little "medical" kit for the baby's diaper bag. My sister has one and loves it.

..so I thought I'd pick one up, too.

It has a thermometer in it and a few other things I always seem to misplace. Having it all in one place will help.

Sunday, we went to 11 o'clock mass ~ Nate decided to share his Goldfish with everyone sitting around us by throwing them all over the place (what fun!

). After mass, we came home and Jerry and I both didn't feel too hot. He took a nap and I fell asleep with Nate for a little bit.

Then, I had to get dressed to go to the funeral home. (My Aunt Gretchen's mother passed away) I went to the funeral home with my sister and then picked Nate up and went to my parent's house for a little bit..

.that's where my aunt and uncle were going to go in between viewings.

When I got home I was a little ticked off that Jerry hadn't done anything (mainly build the Armoire like he said he would).

So, I took Nate upstairs and started to clean. Yes, I'm still nesting. Finally, when I was exhausted from running around, Jerry decided to put the Armoire together.

..with all of it's little pieces spread out all over the living room floor.

What on earth am I suppose to do with a 14 month old who has to stay on the couch? ARGH!

Well ~ that was my weekend.

My Armoire isn't finished, yet...

but Jerry promises that he will finish it tonight. I'm going to try to take a shower and finish going through some baby clothes upstairs while Nate takes his afternoon nap..

.I'm just hoping it's one of those 2 hour naps he's been taking every day for the last week!
