What I'm Loving Wednesday!

This is my first WILW post! Link up here.

I am LOVING that I am no longer on bed rest! Monday we went to see Dr. J and he was very happy to see that my swelling was pretty much gone (still some swelling but not NEAR what it was) and I had lost 6 pounds from my appointment last week when he sent me to the hospital. Don't worry though...this prego didn't starve herself. That's just how much water weight I had gained and was retaining. He asked me what I would say if he told me I couldn't go back to work. I told him that I would need a few days to wrap some things up. Because I am a drug and alcohol counselor I have several student files open that I can't just up and leave. We go back to see Dr. J on Friday morning and I'm guessing that after that appointment he will tell me Friday will be my last day of work. Hopefully if that is the case then I will just be on modified bed rest until Hudson is born. We'll see what happens Friday though.

I am LOVING that we have our stroller and car seat now! John put them together Saturday night (they were a gift from my mom) and seeing them in the living room is so much fun...and making Hudson's arrival seem so much more real!

I'm LOVING these flowers given to me by some of the girls I work with. They came by on Thursday (my first full day of bed rest at home) with these and the funniest card.

I am LOVING our stocked fridge! While my mom was in town last weekend she went grocery shopping for us and did a ton of cooking! It is so nice to have especially since I was on strict bed rest through Monday. There is fresh watermelon in there that is SO good!

I'm LOVING the changes we are making in the backyard! Saturday while I was at my baby shower, John started pulling out the "spray painting zone." 

We called this the "spray painting zone" because it is where we would, well, spray paint things. The previous owners had this area here and had plants on it. Not sure what the point was, but it was ugly.


See, this is what it looked like at one point before we moved in. Ugly and it was sort of a hazard with lots of easy ways to trip!


We've also done some work in the front yard that I'll share soon. Nothing is complete yet, but we are slowly doing it ourselves.
