34 Week Appt

We had our 34 week appointment on Monday! It was pretty short and simple. The doctor measured my belly and I'm measuring perfectly average, so Raine should be perfectly average sized as well most likely. We heard his heartbeat again, it stayed steady at 145 which is where it usually is. Everything looks great, so we will be going back on Sept. 8th for another appointment. I am feeling decent though tired. The stress of moving has gotten to me so I am glad that we will be done with moving come Sunday. I will feel a thousand times better being in the new house and being able to finally nest and get things perfect before Raine is here. It will be amazing to finally set up his furniture and nursery!

My mom, stepdad, sister, etc have been helping us so much with the new place! Since we've been very busy at the apartment packing and since Ian has been working a lot and we have been short on time (I can pack, but the amount I can physically do is limited) they have been finishing getting the house ready for us. Friends of my Mom's who do home improvement work came and patched some of the places in the drywall that were needing some TLC, my Mom & Stepdad cleaned the basement out for us and the entire house so that it would be ready. My Mom & Sister have been finishing priming and painting the remaining rooms. They painted both the kitchen and dining room today. All that is left is one more coat on the dining room (because its a dark color - "Merlot") and to paint the ceiling in our room light grey. We owe them tons of praise for all they have done. My family continues to be amazing in every way in helping us be prepared for Raine. My grandparents are also buying us a brand new very nice washer and dryer, which is totally sweet of them.


I can't believe Raine will be here in a month or so! Its crazy! We only have the bookcase and a couple of wall shelves left to get for the nursery and we have decided to get a different chair instead of using the rocking chair. We are going up to Woodbridge next week or weekend to get them. Heres a picture of the chair & bookcase, only $130 for the chair and $60 for the bookcase, gotta love Ikea!:

I am beyond excited about the coming weeks! I finally will be able to do everything I've been wanting to do! It sounds silly but things like washing his bottles and putting them away, organizing his things, etc excite me! Haha. I think being in a new enviorment with the new house will be good for us as well.

Thats all for now -- I need to update my belly photo, I will do that soon! :)
