So there are a bunch of ladies who are having babies, and I have a baby shower coming up soon that I decided to make a diaper cake for. Anyhow this is the finished product. I'm quite proud of myself.

Pregnancy Update
Hello all,
Look, I'm on and it hasn't even been a year yet. Aren't you proud! I figured that I should post some pictures and tell you how things are coming along. First off Tyler and I have decided on a name for our little girl. She will be Jennifer Ann Clements. Tyler is currently in China, but will be back on the 17th. I have been busy with work, going to BSU full-time, homework, and prenatal yoga.
Everything looks great with the pregnancy. I am now going to the doctors every two weeks and at the last appointment I got my results back from the glucose screen. My numbers were excellent on this screen, as was my iron count. Jennifer and my weight and growth are also perfect, so yeah for us.
On Sunday, March 13, 2011 we will be 30 weeks along, which comes down to 10 weeks or 70 days left, but hey who's counting right? In the past couple of months my girth has increased dramatically. The most current belly shot I have is from 28 weeks, so its a couple of weeks old. I also have a couple of ultrasounds of the baby, but shouldn't be getting anymore unless a problem arises.
Jennifer kicks, rolls, wiggles, and squirms. She seems to be a good sleeper at night though, or maybe I'm just so exhausted I don't notice her moving much at night. She's a night owl, waking up right around 9-11pm, being most active at 10pm. Hmmm, maybe there's a connection there with the morning sickness that was felt in the 1st trimester.
When I go to bed she settles down in about 15 minutes then I only really notice her moving if I reposition myself, but she settles back to sleep in about 5 minutes usually. When the lights come on in the morning she usually gives me a good kick or punch, then rolls, as if to say "Hey mom, I'm sleeping here, go back to bed."
I feel her throughout the day, but she'll have a day of being really active then the next she'll be less so. The last couple of weeks have also brought about me feeling Braxton-hicks contractions. They aren't painful, but they are sure stronger then I imagined they would be, and they make my back ache. Everything on the pregnancy end is going smoothly.
The second trimester was wonderful. The third has brought on sore feet, sore back, and swollen ankles. If I stay in one position for too long I start getting achy and have to reposition. But I'm not complaining, I've known pregnant women who have had it far worse, so I am happy with just this little bit of discomfort.
When our roommate, Jeremy, moved out last year Josh decided that he wanted to move into the bedroom downstairs. So Josh's old room will now be Jennifer's. A couple of weekends ago Josh was helping Tyler with Jennifer's room and told him that we should go out and buy paint. When asked what color paint he thought we should buy, Josh replied "Pink." Tyler asked him why pink. Josh said "Well because everyone knows that a girl's room is supposed to be pink." Just FYI, we are planning on painting her room cream and dark brown, with pink accents. :) It's not pink paint, but Josh will still get his pink for his little sister's room.
Jennifer's room has always been the hottest in the summer and coolest in the winter, so we (mostly Tyler) are installing two new windows, took out the closet window, and putting in new insulation. This meant tearing out all the old lath and plaster and ball and tube wiring. We now have new insulation in between all of the studs, instead of every other one, and wiring that is to code, as well as five plugs instead of one.
We have drywall up and the big new window installed. Most of the seams have been mudded and most of the walls are ready for texture and paint. We still have to install the smaller window and install the flooring in the hall closet, so Tyler can put the sheetrock up on those two areas. After all the sheetrock is up and the remaining seems have been mudded, sanded, then mudded and sanded again then we can texture and paint. Then the carpet and decorations will go up. And the furniture will be put in.
Well, I've got to get going now, so I'll leave you with that. Hopefully I'll get a couple more posts on here before the baby comes; otherwise I'll have baby pictures when she gets here for you!
