That bird mobile

I am still slowly working on the bird mobile that I want for August's room. For some reason I've had a hard time getting motivated to get it done. I bought some pretty fabric fat quarters yesterday to use, though, and Tony went and found some wonderful sticks in the backyard to use.

He, on the other hand, has been very motivated to get things done before her arrival. He replaced the broken vent fan in our hallway bathroom. It's been broken since we bought the house, and we moved in over a year and a half ago. Well, he did all of the wiring himself, and even added a light. It always makes me nervous when he takes on a job like that, as he is by no means an expert electrician. He even had to go up on the roof to cut a hole for the fan to be able to vent the air out of the attic. Luckily, it all works, and he is done. I told him he can't do anymore dangerous jobs before the baby comes. It makes me too nervous.

Since he couldn't rebuild something in the house, he got to work on painting and hanging wooden letters spelling out "AUGUST." He painted each letter a little differently, although all in white and lime green. Then he went with me to Hancock Fabrics and picked out a pretty turquoise ribbon with white polka dots. He hung the letters on the wall over the crib, and it is really so cute. I'm so proud of how crafty he got with that! Now he wants to go and get 4 small canvases to paint, and then he wants each canvas to have a handprint of a family member. He wants mine, his, August's, and Rocky paw print. Too cute!

I am so ready to have the baby. I want to make it through the next week so that she will be full term, without a doubt. Past next Saturday, though, I want her to get out here as quickly as she can. I'm ready. The house is pretty much ready. Tony is ready. And I am so tired of being pregnant. I am already not sleeping more than about 4 1/2 hours a day, so I feel like now is as good a time as any for her to come out with her crazy feeding schedule. I am planning on breastfeeding, by the way, but people keep telling me it's much harder than you expect. I took a class on it, and there is a ton of information to take in. I read a book that a friend gave me called "Nursing Your Baby" which helped me feel somewhat ready. I'm still worried that I'll have difficulty with it. I sure hope not.
