I've started working on Zoey's room and getting stuff ready and done that I've wanted to start on since we found out that she was a girl. One of my friends' helped me make her a tie fleece blanket that is light purple and turquoise. I haven't taken a picture of it yet, but it turned out really cute and exactly how I wanted it to. We've also started buying a box of diapers every couple of weeks so that we will have a stockpile when January comes. I got her curtains that I want to put up in her room and a bookshelf that I plan on putting together some time this week. Ryan and I have also started to refinish the diaper changing table Ryan got for a steal at a garage sale earlier this summer. We have just started to sand it and still have a ways to go but rain has got in the way this weekend for it to be completed just yet. I'm hoping to get Ryan to cut out and make Zoey's letters for her wall sometime this week. I still need to figure out exactly what font I want them to look like first. I'm trying to get a jump start on things right now since I have an extremely crazy October coming up. I'm out of town for a conference one weekend, have work events 3 of the weekends, have my first baby shower in the middle of the month and have 3 JA events going on. Oh, on top of having the biggest fundraising project for Junior Auxiliary, Frosty Festival, that I'm in charge of to work on and which takes place the first weekend of November. I'm completely busy the month of October!!! So I have the rest of September to work on baby stuff and the rest of November after Frosty Festival to work on stuff and I want everything to be done by the beginning of December. I don't want to have to stress over getting stuff done at the last min. and try to rush around doing things 9 months pregnant. I'm a huge planner and so that the plan, but who knows how things are going to end up playing out. That's what makes it bad for people like me who love to plan everything, because with pregnancy and a new baby, there's no planning! Zoey will come whenever she's ready and all this mommy will be able to do in January is wait until she's ready! In the meantime, we've got a lot of stuff to do to keep us busy until she grows a little bit bigger, okaye probably a lot bigger in the next 4 months.
This is Zoey's ultrasound pics that I turned into a scrapbook page. She had her arms covering her face the entire ultrasound. She wasn't quite ready for Mommy and Daddy to see her face just yet. I guess she figured that since she let us see that she was a girl that was enough and all we needed to see. She definately already has her Daddy's personality. He hates having his pictures taken and that's the same way she was being with covering her face. Also, she has started moving like crazy. I got to feel her move for the first time on August 13th, and on September 14th I got to see her move from the outside with her kicking my tummy and it moving. It was so crazy and cool at the same time. She kicked me up higher than she has been before so that really surprised me. Ever since then she has been moving like crazy. Doing flips and kicks, if I didnt know how clumsy her mommy is, I would say she's going to be a gymnast or soccer player. LOL
