Roll out the carpet!

After a busy and mentally exhausting day at the office, I was ready to come home and kick it on the couch with the remote and DVR. I'm so thankful that when we brought home the carpet the other day, we left it in the dining room, right in the middle of everything. Why? Because when I walked in tonight, tired as hell, I felt excited to change into sweats, roll up my sleeves, and scrub the floors in the nursery so that I could finally get that carpet into the nursery. I grabbed Porch's Bose speaker and sang along with my running playlist (which hasn't gotten much love since we started IVF).

Everything has a new home now and things are coming together! The crib and dresser will be delivered Saturday and I am PUMPED. For reals. I love when I roll out of bed at night to use the bathroom and walk past the nursery (and I love that it's a nursery now) and see where the furniture will go! I can't wait to see it tonight with the carpet! It's the little things...

I mean seriously, doesn't that carpet just make you swoon?!
It's even better in person.
And a damn steal at $250! Woot woot for Home Goods!

I even cleaned out and organized the closet. I'm not sure how much room Baby Porch will need for clothing and whatnot, but I figure that very tiny clothing will fit into the dresser, at least at the start. Is this nesting? Am I doing it right (I'm just kidding)?

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool. Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

when even the doctor feels badly for you

went for the repeat ultrasound yesterday with my heart filled with positive thoughts and feelings just to find out that my uterine lining is WAY too thick to move forward. in fact, dr. b was worried because my uterus and ovaries seem to be having different conversations about where they are in my cycle. blood was drawn and results revealed that i hadn't ovulated and so, my dear friends, i am back on birth control for an undetermined length of time. the short version of this paragraph: i didn't bleed enough this month so i have to do it again. you know it's rough when even the doctor has that sad look in her eyes and wraps up the appointment with, "I feel so bad for you, it's just one thing after another." that's why i like her, to be honest. let's not sugar coat this process and let's skip the whole "we'll get 'em next time, tiger" pep talk. it sucks. and we're allowed to feel that, my fellow infertility peeps. it's o...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures! I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut. I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel. Check out the website here and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way! Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite. So I'm not going to. But you can! :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive! I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives. And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...
