The tree is done and so am I...


Here is a picture of the tree I painted in the nursery so baby can sleep away under the tree. Once baby is born, I will personalize the room so it isn't so gender neutral. I had help from a friend at church who is an artist. She got me started on the outline of the tree and trunk details, along with mixing the paint colors. She showed me how to do the leaves and I took it from there. Still waiting on our nursery furniture.....the race is on will baby or furniture arrive first?
The latest update from our dr appointment on Wednesday is....no change. Still dilated to 1 cm, 50% effaced and the kid is still high. I haven't really been having any contractions until tonight and then they are sporatic ones. If baby isn't here by our next appointment (Wednesday 7/2) we will discuss evicting, wait, inducing this little one. Please say a prayer that we don't have to go that route. I am hoping little one will decide to come out on his/her own. As for size of baby, not much change. Thankfully the growth spurt has slowed down. We have been going out for our nightly waddles around the neighborhood. Floyd is so patient with me. I know he has to be so bored walking at a snails pace but at least we are walking again. The feet are still swollen but not as bad as they were so I can get my walking shoes on now.
The weather has finally started getting nice again. It has been in the low 70's and sunny this week. It is supposed to hit mid 80's this weekend and then cool back down to the 70's next week. So all in all, not bad weather, if only it will last the rest of summer.
Hope this finds everyone enjoying the beginning of summer. Hopefully, the next post will be a picture of the baby!!!
Cheers!

Hang in there Wendy!!! The tree looks great and so do you sweetie. At least you are having some contractions, albeit sporadic. I am keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow is the magic day (would say tonight, but figure I'd "give" you a good night's worth of sleep first)!
