Updates!!!

Let's see...we are still waiting on nursery furniture and I really have no idea when it will come in. They told us 8-12 weeks when we ordered on August 8th but then she confused me by saying the manufacturer would not be filling orders until August 16th and then it would only be a few weeks after that. I might have to call in a few weeks and get an estimate. The nursery furniture is supposed to be ready October 8th! Can't wait! Hopefully the curtains will be hung tomorrow. Don and I essembled the travel system stroller last Sunday. At least we can get Kate home now :)! Mom and dad ordered us a rocker chair that will hopefully be in, in a few weeks. Ahhhh! I already feel like a bad mom with no nursery to show forth and almost 9 weeks left....I am trying Kate. I got some showers coming up that I am really excited about. It will feel so real then, but believe me, the little thumps I am getting from within my tummy makes it feel pretty real too. She is over 3lbs now. I am very large. I will take a 35 week picture and post but that will probably be it on the photos for a while :). Here are pictures of the furniture I am getting in the store...

Lifetime Crib that will convert to Full size bed

Dresser and Hutch

The crib I wanted but wasn't as practical :)

Oh, one thing I haven't mentioned is us going to parenting class. Don and I have been scheduled to attend parenting class every Tuesday of the month of September (except the last). The first week we learned about natural births of which noone in my class planned on having (we all want to be selfish like it said on the movie, Baby Mama, of which you HAVE to see). We had to reschedule the 2nd week because I had to go to Peachtree City, GA for some training for work. We went this past Tuesday and learned about C-sections, after care of the mom, and took a tour of the birthing suites. Don and I got there 30 minutes late after they changed classrooms on us, ahhh! Anyway, the after care part kinda freaked me out but what do you do, no turning back now?!? Another thing that kinda wooohed me was the stirups in the birthing suites. WOW! Somehow we are suppose to put our bottom at the end of the beds and the hike our legs up (going different directions, of course) where our back thigh goes in the support part. We all had questions on how it could be our thigh going in there, shouldn't it be our calves? Anyway, she said thigh. We'll see how this works out. Next week is care of the baby. We are suppose to bring cameras so I will be sure to post.

Okay, what else has been going on with the Farmers....I turned 27 this week (that is the picture at the top with Don and me at Superior Grill celebrating with my parents)! Ouch! I guess it happens to all of us. I have been working like a mad dog in Tuscaloosa on Foundation audits of which the person originally assigned left the firm so I had to pick up some pieces and deadlines. It has been nice being around college students though. I am so entertained about how they try to not care about their looks, but they really do care. Ah, the days! Don got sick 2 weeks ago with a raging cold of some sort. He always brings home the germs. I slept in another bedroom and washed my hands a bunch so I didn't get it. It has worked so far! I was able my friend Becky last weekend that I haven't seen in a while and since she has had a precious baby girl, Lily. She lives in Tampa now so I always make a point to see her when she is home. We had a nice conversation when her 2 girls slept. I had lots of mama questions to ask her. It was like we bonded on a new level because we are now sharing the same experiences. We have known each other since we were 5 years old so that makes it even more special.

Plans for this weekend - Don is playing golf this morning with his buddy Heath. I am suppose to be cleaning, then I am going to do my birthday shopping for Don (which involves purchasing new makeup and some maternity clothes, I told you I am getting LARGE), then Heath and Ashley are coming over to watch the Bama game (we DVRed it so we will probably start it an hour and a half late), then we move onto the Florida/Tennessee game, and then end with the Auburn/LSU game. Wow, what a jampacked day....of course! Tomorrow is church, hanging curtains, and more church. Whew!

I will leave you with some flowers Don gave to me for my Birthday. He is a keeper! :)
