30 weeks down 10 to go!

Wow I don’t know where the time goes, it seems like the past few months have flown by full of activities and baby preparations. I have been feeling well lately, and my doctors visits are all going smoothly. I am 30 weeks pregnant, and into my 3rd trimester. Now I am on the schedule where I go to the doctor every 2 weeks which seems like a lot to me but I’m sure they know what they are doing =). We have also decided on a name for our little girl, Anabelle Corrine Lee Delaney. She is moving around a lot lately, often times kicking me in the ribs and bladder.


John and I went to the Taste of Chicago on July 2nd, I was very excited to eat all of the yummy things at the taste. I was most excited to have some roasted corn, it was delicious!The Taste seemed smaller this year, not as many vendors, we thought it must have been the result of the economy.

John and I celebrated 4 years of marriage on July 3rd, we both had the day off from work so we decided to spend it working on the nursery. I taped the walls and John painted. Of course this turned into a much bigger project than we anticipated. I had decided that I wanted green on the bottom, pink on the top and a chair rail in the middle of the wall. Then to make it even more difficult I decided I wanted to paint a diamond design on one of the walls. Now that we are almost done, I can say that I like it and it was worth it but getting to this point was challenging. We started on the 3rd and then took some time off for the 4th to attend a bar-b-que and fireworks, back to work on the 5th with some help from Becky. John’s task was to put together the crib while Becky and I tackled taping the diamond pattern. This proved to be difficult given our crooked walls, but we got it done. The room still needs a lot of touch-up work but it is definitely looking like a little girls bedroom.

After all of the painting we went and got massages and then out to a nice dinner to enjoy the rest of our anniversary.
