Nursery and bump updates
Summer is FLYING! We go back to work in a little over two weeks and I'm now scrambling to get everything accomplished that I had hoped to over the summer.
Baby Girl is growing like crazy and kicking and jabbing up a storm. I love feeling her move, and it hasn't gotten too uncomfortable yet (besides one foot-in-rib incident a few weeks ago). I'm still feeling good, and just hoping my energy level keeps up awhile longer!
I had a great trip to Kansas City, St. Louis, and Kentucky in June (Brett joined me for the KC and Kentucky legs of the trip, but I was on my own in St. Louis and for most of the traveling). It was so nice to spend time with friends without feeling rushed, and I was very aware of the fact that travel will be drastically different next summer, so I took full advantage of my independence! I had my first baby shower in KC, hosted by some wonderful girl friends. It was such a special day and Baby Girl and I got very spoiled!
We spent a week at the beach in Gulf Shores over the 4th of July. My parents were with us for the entire week, and Brett's family was able to join us for the second half of the week. We had a wonderful time. Baby Girl seemed to love to water and the beach (just like her momma!) and was super active all week long. Again, we spent a lot of time talking about how different next summer's beach trip will be with a 9 month old!
We're 3 weeks into our 5-week childbirth class. Last week's class included a tour of the hospital, which made everything seem very real! I'm very pleased with what we saw though, and I am hopeful that we will have a great experience there.
The nursery is coming along, slowly but surely. The crib and glider are put together. We've found a dresser that we are going to get custom painted, and we should have that in the next few weeks. I'm working on finding some other decorative items for the walls, etc. Her closet is already quite full!! (I haven't been able to resist cute sale items that she can wear next summer. Every unborn child needs two swimsuits hanging in her closet, right?!)

And the recent bump pics:
28 weeks tomorrow, and another doctor's appointment. After tomorrow I start going every two weeks already! Hard to believe that time is moving so quickly. Will update again soon!
