Baby Update
3 weeks from today and Maxwell will be here! I am finally starting to feel ready with his room almost complete. Rae and Milke are throwing us a baby shower on Saturday at our house with all of our friends so we are pretty excited to celebrate the arrival of Maxwell with everybody. My Mom and Dad arrive on the 16th and we are more than ready for them to arrive! We had our 36 week check up yesterday and the baby is still measuring quite big. As well, I have been super uncomfortable lately and the doctor checked and he is now head down and quite low so that's probably the reason. He is always moving and I still feel like he is going to come out 10lbs. I don't remember Isabella moving half this amount and she was such a mellow baby... LOL... Perhaps an indicator of things to come. This little guy is going to keep me on my toes!
Maxwell's Room - Almost Done!
This past weekend we finally finished up Maxwell's bedroom. We are missing some decorative things but most everything will be delivered by Saturday. As well, my Mom and Dad are bringing down some old boat prints that my grandfather used to own so I am pretty excited about them and they are going to look great with the whole nautical theme that we have going on.. The room looks awesome and Isabella is a big fan. If you can't find her guarenteed she is in Maxwell's crib. Isabella was a huge help to Glenn painting the closet doors...

Lol...I guess his name is no longer a secret...
We decided on the baby's name shortly after we found out that he was a boy. His name is going to be Maxwell ! We love it and it has meaning for us because it was my grandfather's name. We are still undecided on the middle name or names. So, the cat is out of the bag and we can now refer to him by his name!
His room - a work in progress...
We hired a contractor to paint and tear down the ceiling in the babies room and this was all done before Christmas. Glenn is in the midst of finishing the wiring now. We still have to install the fan and lights plus Glenn needs to install shelving in the closet but we are getting closer. I love the color! It turned out how I imagined :) We are doing a nautical theme so it will work well with the final image that I have in my mind!

Baby News!
At our appointment on Wednesday, I was measuring a little big so Dr.Locher ordered an ultrasound for Friday. Sure enough the little guy is already close to 5lbs, is super long like Isabella and has enough hair that it can be picked up on the ultrasound. He is supposed to gain 1/2 lb a week until he is born so I am expecting him to be close to 10lbs! So much for buying newborn size clothing! He is still lying sideways with his butt up in my rib cage and his feet super close to my bladder. The ultrasound tech said I would probably need a c-section even if I never had one planned because of his position and the tight space he is in. You can even see the little chub rolls on his belly, super cute. I will scan in my ultrasound pictures soon. Lol....there is also no doubt about the fact that he is a boy and was definitely not shy this time around showing the goods! Glenn is upstairs in his room right now finishing off the wiring. After lunch we are going to pick up the molding and then everything will be done in his room except for the closet. I am excited to get things together and in their place. We really need to get on the ball! There are a ton of things we still need to pick up before he arrives. I just remembered that we never took a belly bump picture this past week :( will need to get Glenn to take my 32 week picture shortly!
