Moving Along!!!!

So Christian and I are on vacation this week!!Woohooo to teaching schedules!!! We started the week by having "Grandma and Gramps Santoro" come over Sunday for some planning of the mural. They had already done a life size mock-up of the painting and we were in shock! It looks awesome! We are doing an underwater scene....they started with the border, doing the ocean waves, some sand, palm trees and a sand castle : ) So cute!!!! So the painting officially started on Monday and it already looks soothing and adorable : ) "Aunt jill" came over Monday to plan out her section of the mural too!! She is doing the sea turtle family and some fishies : ) She had a great idea of adding the anemone that the clown fish live in above the changing table....she said that that's where the fish protect and keep their babies and I loved her thoughts on that and incorporating that into the whole mural. So thoughtful : ) "Grandma Forie" (not sure if that is her official Grandma name yet! : ) is going to come over too to paint some fish with us soon...and I def want to get out a paint brush myself...like the idea of a joint effort. Anyone up for fish painting!!

Being that we have this week off, we started getting other "nitty gritty" stuff done yesterday. Called some pediatrician offices and some more daycare places to visit. Waiting on calls back for tours and meetings. Guess I've been feeling more tired lately, so trying to rally some energy to get up and out too! With that in mind, Christian and I headed up to Buy Buy Baby to pick up the crib and changing table!!! We (or I should say "he") was able to load it all into the truck and bring it home!!! Cannot wait to fold things and put them into the drawers and make it all official! Can't really set any of it up yet, though bc we have the painting going on in the babys room...will have to soon though bc we have to get something organized. Guess it all depends on when the artists will be revisiting the Forie "house"!

Have a dr. appt today for a check-up at 3:45. Just a routine "how are you feeling" appt....but may start asking about more details about the birth and maternity leave. We start our birth class on Monday too so that's exciting!!!

Thought we were narrowing in on a girls name...but not sure now. Then realized that we have to discuss middle names!! So...still some time left....8 weeks actually!!!! WOW!!!
