T-60 days.

We are now into the 8th month.. :)

Forgot to mention yesterday that at the parent group, out of the 7 couples, we were the only married couple.

We are doing well today. :) I just finished up the plaster on the drywall. (Fredrik spent the afternoon mowing.) Not sure if I am going to wait a day and make sure everything is dry before starting a second layer of plaster (where needed). I guess I will know tomorrow when I look at everything. :)

Our midwife appointment went well today. :) The appointment was at 14.30, but we didn't get in to see her until 15.00.. :/ :)

She tested my urine and no protein, so she didn't do a glucose test or iron test. Blood pressure was 130/65. And baby's heartbeat started high at 158-159, and then slowed down to 150-155, she gave an average of 154. (She tried to get the heartbeat on the left side - but as always..... Baby was on the right side.) :)

She asked if we enjoyed the meeting yesterday and asked if I am always so quiet and never say anything. :D

Took my weight, and it was right about the same as last time, and she asked if I was eating. :P
And she said that as long as I don't lose weight.. (A little different opinion than my first midwife, huh?)

She gave us some info books about the Maternity Ward at our hospital, and a number to call to reserve our rental car seat. And she said I can go ahead and fill out what I would like (or wouldn't like) during our stay at the hospital, the Birthing Plan.

Next appointment is Monday, September 3rd. :)

Tomorrow I will try to put up some updated pictures of the room. Fredrik is putting his foot down about not letting me do the sanding of the plaster.. :P He won't even let me in the room. (The stuff is pretty bad for you I guess.) So, after I finish the second layer (at least something that I can do during the days to make the whole process faster) of plaster, he will start sanding, then we will put a layer of thick.. paper stuff.. :/ :) Then paint the ceiling and the fireplace. Paint the walls, and then finally the flooring and then the molding.. *pant*pant*pant*

We actually might have figured out what color we want to use in the room! While we were in the store today buying more plaster, Fredrik said he is afraid that a too light color will just be too bright. There are two windows in two different directions, giving the room light all day long ... So, we found a very nice dark shade of green (close to sage I guess), and I think we might go with this one. Maybe best to go with the first one we like, instead of finding 5 others that are also "okay" and then taking a month to decide... :/ :)

Blah blah blah.. :P Have to go fight Fredrik for the TV.. Law & Order is on soon, and so is a football match at the same time...
