8 months pregnant!

WOW! I can't believe that I am 32 weeks pregnant and that I only have 8 weeks left! I am definitely starting to get nervous. I have a lot done already but I still feel like there is so much to do. Her nursery is basically finished, I just need to get around to painting the rocker and making a pillow for it. I have some clothes, bath stuff, diaper genie, bottle warmer and a few other little essentials thanks to my great friends! So, I am on my way to being prepared for her arrival. I have made my hospital packing list and I plan on packing in the next few weeks...so weird! Brad and I are starting birthing classes soon, which will be so fun! I am taking maternity pics at the end of this month, I have the L&D photographer all scheduled and I have a list of "necessities" that I got from my friend who recently had a baby. I feel like I am missing a TON of stuff though, so if any of you have any tips of things I should have done before the baby comes, or things to take to the hospital, or things you found were helpful to have at home after you delivered, please, please please feel free to give me any sort of advice. It is terrifying to feel like you know so little for such a big event. But other than that, things are going great. I still feel really good and I am just trying to survive the heat. :) Only 56 days left...I can do it!

A birthday, a baby shower and a red door

A lot has been going on lately and although I don't feel super busy, I am apparently too busy to update this thing. Brad turned 25 on June 13th! He celebrated by going to work...super fun! I took pizza to his work to celebrate his big day (I love making a big deal out of birthdays) and then we went to buffalo wild wings for dinner with the family. I think he had a good birthday!

Here is the birthday boy passed out from all the fun!

He finally got a grill

Everyone at B-dubs

Happy 25th birthday Bradley Fish. I love you!

BABY SHOWER!
My bff Traci was so sweet and threw me my very first baby shower! It was so fun and decorated so cute! We had it at my house which was actually really nice and convenient because then I didn't have to load anything into the car. We had fruit pizza, watermelon, cucumber water and pasta salad. My sister Melinda was so nice to make the pasta salad! Thanks :) It turned out great and everyone was so generous! I feel so lucky to have such amazing friends who took the time to come to my shower and then totally spoil me and baby girl with gifts! Thanks to Traci, Melinda and Amber for all of your help and thanks to everyone for coming! I really have the best friends! :)

RED DOOR!
 In our kitchen we have a door that leads to the garage and we have wanted to paint it red ever since we moved in. On the 4th of July I decided I would be a good wife and paint it. Brad came up from working on the basement to take the hardware off the door...and well, one thing lead to another and we ended up with a huge project in front of us. Apparently the previous owner didn't frame the door and I guess we're lucky it hadn't fallen off yet. The door looked terrible before and it didn't lock, so it needed to be fixed - we just didn't plan on fixing it that day. But we both love the result and we're happy that we have a door that opens all the way, locks, and won't fall off :)
