Friendly Friday

I had my weekly doctor appointment with Dr. McLean this morning. Baby's heartbeat was 140. Baby passed his BPP again, but it took awhile to get him to do his practice breathing. He was sleeping and being lazy. It took me rolling over onto my side to get him to wake up and really start moving around and practice breathing. Dr. McLean told me she was working on getting the amnio scheduled, but still had no definite date or time yet. As always, she asked about how I was doing mentally and how Marshall was. She then asked if we had had any baby showers or anything. I told her my friends had asked about doing one for us but we declined it and agreed to a party after he was born instead. Dr. McLean thought that was a great idea and told me that apparently in Europe that is how they do it. They always have showers after the baby is born. Hmmm. It's not a terrible idea as long as you have the necessities you need to bring the baby home with.

After my apt I went home and Stacey and Brian came over. Brian put in the base board in shoe molding in the entire bathroom while Stacey helped me finish putting the vanity together. I had only asked Brian to put down the baseboard behind where the vanity and toilet would go, but he decided to just do the entire bathroom. What great friends are they?!

They then moved the vanity and sink into the bathroom for me before they left. I loaded up all the boxed and took them to the recycling center and then came back and started painting the trim in the bedroom and touching up the trim in the bathroom. I also painted the bathroom door that was previously green to black to match all the other doors in our house. Marshall got home around 11:30pm and I showed him what had been done to the bathroom and he was so surprised! He said it looked great and he couldn't believe I did the tiling all by myself and Stacey didn't help me. It made me feel good that Marshall actually liked the job I did as he is such a perfectionist when it comes to construction. Marshall helped me hang the bathroom door back up and then he put together the bassinet that he had bought. We moved it into the bedroom to make sure it was going to fit beside the bed.
