Week 25

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mom and Marissa - thanks for visiting - and mom....thanks for the yummy Turkey!

I guess I'm a little late in posting, week 25 has come and gone, and we are also almost done with week 26. Time is continuing to fly, and my belly is continuing to expand (although - it could be from the turkey!).

Mom, Marissa, and David started painting the nursery over the Thanksgiving holiday, and David spent some time in there every day since and as of this morning, it's practically all finished! Everyone worked really hard, and David has been going at it alone since the family left since the smell was a little too much for me. He did a GREAT job, and even installed a ceiling fan. It looks awesome, and I can't wait to start getting things in there and decorating.

Joey - Thank you SO much for the crib. We picked it up Friday and will be putting it together once we get the carpet clean in the nursery. It's our first piece of baby furniture and we are just thrilled!!!!!

This week David and I went to Babies-r-us for a seminar entitled "Dogs & Storks". It was a class that tried to give families ideas on how to introduce a "new" baby into the family. We thought it would be a good idea to go as we'll have Buddy and Toebbi a lot next year due to Robert traveling the world! It was interesting....but also a little boring, and didn't really tell us anything mind blowing that I didn't already know. Next week we go to a diaper changing class, so that might be a little more fun. :)

I'll post some new pics of the belly next week - Baby Rivera is growing more and more every day. She is still extremely active, and the wee-hour potty breaks are becoming more frequent, and my sleeping is getting a little more uncomfortable. I thought that this stuff started in the third trimester, but I think I'm ahead of the game.

It will be a busy next two weeks as we prepare for Christmas, the baby, and our trip home - not to mention our everyday work lives. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone for the holidays, and taking a little break from all the craziness.

Love everyone! xoxoxo

Glad the nursery is coming together. The paint didn't come out of my jeans so I now have a pair of "painting pants" that I will save for my next project. Marissa and I had a lot of fun and I hope we can do it again sometime. Christmas is coming soon and I can't wait to see you again. We are going to have a great time. Love Mom
