Baby Farts, Nursery and Shout Outs!

Sorry its been awhile! Its been a busy couple of weeks. We finally got the nursery all painted-
YAY! I love how it turned out. We're so grateful to Russ in our small group for painting for us! The bathroom project is still in progress. I keep forgetting to take pics! I'm hoping it'll be done in 2 weeks tops! But everything seems to be taking longer than we thought, guess that's how it goes. Well, here are a few pics of the room-we still have a long way to go but at least we have a good start.
This is a really cute dollhouse bookcase we found! I love this!
Oops-this coming pic is out of order. My friend Michelle (who is just 9 days behind me in her pregnancy!) made me this awesome quilt! How sweet is this? I love everything about it-I love the colors and fabric so much, I can't wait to use it! Michelle is my oldest friend, we've been friends since we were 2 years old! I feel like almost every memory of my childhood through highschool has her in it! Sadly-she lives far away in Virginia now so I don't get to see her much, but we still talk on the phone probably 2 times a week, especially now that we are both pregnant with girls!!

Ok, back to the room pics-here is one of the painted walls with our crib:

And, one of just the wall so you can see the paint job really well :)
Finally-here is a pic of me, Sarah and Rachel from the state fair! It was a good year-the weather was perfect and we had some great food. We ate fried green tomatoes, an elephant ear, corn on the cob, corn dogs, and fudge. YUM!
This past Saturday was my first baby shower! I want to give a big thank you to my friend Lissa who threw it for me! It was the most beautiful shower and I just felt so loved. The shower was in my hometown of Lafayette and there were so many people there that I hadn't seen in so long! But Lissa was the best hostess-her and I have been best friends since the 7th grade-we were in each other's weddings, and our weddings were only 1 week apart, and then we honeymooned about 2 hours from each other so one night we all met up for some bowling and Steak & Shake-I have so many great memories with Lissa :) I'll have to post pics from the shower on my next post, all the pics are on my sister's camera.
And lastly, you may be wondering why "Baby Farts" is in the title of this post. WELL, that would be because yesterday morning, I am almost positive I felt her FART! I don't think Rusty believes me, but I have definitely become very aware and familiar with all her different movements, and of course of just how my stomach moves, and this was totally different from anything I'd ever felt before. It was just this bubbly feeling like little gas bubbles, right where her butt was! I just had to laugh, it was so funny! I just can't wait to meet this little baby girl! I feel like she has such a fun personality.
Who knows how many more posts there will be before I post a picture of my baby girl!! I'll be 34 weeks this Saturday, wow. I'll try to be better about posting! I'll have a lot of pics to share shortly. I have another shower this coming weekend, plus we're going to a Third Day/Jars of Clay/Switchfoot concert tomorrow night-can't wait! And of course I'll post nursery and bathroom pics as soon as those projects are done!
