Bismarck Blizzard

Sunday evening it started to snow quite a bit and by the time we woke up this morning, we'd gotten 10 1/2 inches! It kept on snowing all day long and I think we ended up with about 18 inches. Our deck was cleared off yesterday afternoon but this is what the railing looked like at 9 a.m. this morning.

All the schools in Bismarck called off classes today so Martin and I spent the day at home. Of course, he had to take the diesel out to drive through all the snow drifts. It's hard to believe that we could see our lawn on Sunday morning - it'll be awhile before we see it again!

Here's a picture of Buck and Meiko enjoying an afternoon nap. Buck has realized that Meiko is a warm cuddle-buddy in the cold winter months.

Meiko? Separation anxiety? No.......

31 Weeks and Counting.....

Well, there's less than nine weeks to go before Baby Brash's due date! Here's a picture of me on March 27, 2009 - 31 weeks and 1 day.

One of my best friends, Lisa, made this beautiful quilt for Baby Brash! Although you can't see it in the picture, she stitched an outline of a rubber ducky in all the yellow pentagons. I can't wait to start using it!

On Saturday we went to a craft fair and Martin found this burp cloth/bib set - of course he had to buy it!

Nursery!

The nursery is starting to come together! The Jacobsons were kind enough to let us borrow their crib so we picked that up last night when we went to their house for dinner to celebrate both my and Travis' birthday.

I couldn't find a crib set that only has sheep (it has chickens and cows on it too) but I like this one a lot.
I bet you "Bemidjians" out there can guess where the sheep on the picture above came from.....it was mine when I was a baby!

I love the crib that Beth and Travis used for Sarah and Thomas - it works really well in our nursery!

29 Week Update

Yesterday I went in for my gestational diabetes test and monthly check-up. All went well and Baby Brash is doing great. His/her heart rate was 148 bpm this time, so a little lower than in months past. For the next 6 weeks I'll be going in every 3 weeks, then down to every other week/every week as the due date approaches.

Martin painted the nursery last weekend, the new blinds have been ordered, the crib set arrived today, and we're picking up the crib from Beth and Travis this weekend so it is starting to all come together! We'll start to put together everything in the nursery this weekend so I'll post pictures soon.
