Her arrival is getting closer!!!

This week we made some big steps in McKenley's room! If she were to come tomorrow, she would atleast have some FABULOUS clothes, a beautiful place to sleep, and a place to have her diaper changed!! :) Her room is coming together amazingly and the only thing that could make it better is... HER!!

Casey and I put the bed together on one of our MANY snow days. It is EXACTLY how I imagined it would look! It totally came together when we put the bedding afterwards :)

Then this weekend I put together the changing table. I was surprised at how easy it was! :) Now we have a place to put the teeny-weeny diapers we have started compiling!

Our next additions to her room are some fancy blinds and new baseboards. After that it's just fun decoration time!!

Now for an update on the little lady herself!

This week McKenley has changed in the following ways:
Weight: about 3.75 pounds, evidently the size of a large jicama, whatever that is!
Length: about 16.7 inches long
She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

How I have been changing:
GOOD NEWS!! I'll be gaining about a pound a week!! OMG!!! Roughly half of that goes right to McKenley. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. I am really unsure how I am supposed to continue to gain weight! Today I hit the proverbial wall, it feels like I have a 50 lb weight attached to my belly... and I STILL have 7 more week!! YIKES!! Can I hire someone to just walk around with me and hold up my belly??

Thats all I got for tonight! Stay tuned to hear how Casey's experience goes at Daddy Bootcamp! Oooohhhh to be a fly on the wall of that class. Can't wait to hear all the fun things he learns about!
