Winter Wonderland

Two big events today--Obama's inauguration (YIPPEE!!!!) and a big snow storm!  With all of this excitement, we were just sure that the baby would decide to come today, but no luck yet.  I woke up about 20 times last night, which is pretty typical these days, but at least this time, I got to enjoy peeking out the window and seeing the snow start to fall throughout the night.  

It has continued snowing all day, and by now we have at least 3-4 inches of snow on the ground.  Conor and I got all bundled up and walked over to campus after the swearing in ceremony.  It was beautiful and people were out tossing snow balls, playing football in the snow, and making all other sorts of merriment.  We tried to take Nala out in the snow too but she wasn't too thrilled about it.

Nesting News...

Some pics of the nursery...

So they say that during your last month or so, you get into "nesting mode" and become obsessed with cleaning the house and getting all set up for the baby.  I am not sure about the whole cleaning part, but I have had a good time setting up the nursery.  In fact, planning and decorating the baby's room has been one of my favorite things about being pregnant (it is definitely more fun than most other parts of pregnancy like the constant nausea, gaining 40 pounds, and feeling tired all the time!)

The baby's room has an "under the sea" theme, complete with a surfboard and lots of sea creatures hanging all about.  Jenn Smith helped me to make some beautiful curtains this weekend which we decorated with starfish.  I think we are pretty much all set now...everything is put in its place, down to the baby's socks and hairbows.  Now we just need for her to hurry up and get here!
