Elliott:
We had a busy week this week. Your Daddy got your crib put together and it's now in your room awaiting your arrival. We still need to order your bedding, but it's starting to look more like a nursery. I also went to buy fabric this week for the quilt Laura is going to make for your room. It's going to be gray and white to match the bedding I have picked out, and it will have an orange binding to tie in with the orange rocker we have on order. I can't wait to see the finished product!
We also went to Babies R Us to begin registering for all the things we will need when you arrive. It was a little overwhelming seeing how many things a baby needs, but it was also exciting thinking about using all the things we registered for with you when you arrive.
You're growing faster every week. You now weigh about a pound and a half and measure about 8.5 inches from crown to rump, making you about the size of an ear of corn. I'm still feeling pretty good and sleeping pretty good. I'm trying to stay active, walking 3 miles a day several times a week with your grandma, and attending the aqua moms water aerobics class twice a week with some friends at Baptist Hospital.
I registered us for several classes offered through the hospital so we'll be more prepared when you get here. I'm also reading several books about breastfeeding, labor and delivery, and how to help get you in a routine when you arrive. Between all the preparations and the holidays, you'll be here before we know it, so I want to be prepared.
We love you more than you can imagine,
Momma
