Rather Quiet Week...

Well, we have had a rather quiet week so far.  I haven't taken any pictures of the finished nursery to post.  I will do that soon.  The painting on the outside is finished with the exception of painting the exterior door.  The molding is up and painted.  Now, it will soon be time to fill it with furniture and anything else we think Jack can't live without.  So, Jack's official first name is Jackson...that we have come to agree upon.  Now, we will move to making the final decision on his middle name.

We are off to a school board meeting tonight for recognition in completing my National Board certification, which I am excited about.  On Friday evening we will attend a recognition banquet.  Now, we just wait for them to send us our wonderful stipend check and the excitement will be complete.

Jack and I got a new pillow this week...now how is that for excitement.  I know that our readers are just beside themselves!  I am writing about it because it is probably the greatest thing I have purchased in a long time.  My friend Amanda recommended it and I would recommend it for anyone...pregnant or not.  It is called the All Nighter Total Body Pregnancy Pillow.  It is wonderful...did I mention how great it is?  For someone who doesn't make it through the night without leg cramps, it has worked wonders for me.  No, I didn't say that the leg cramps are gone but they aren't nearly as frequent or severe.  And for that I am most thankful!!  And there is even still room for Queenie to sleep close by us too.  So, I told Ray the other night that I felt like was I was sleeping at the best 5 star hotel in the world....a new pillow and a new king size bed...now that is sleeping.  And for those of you who know me best, I have incorporated that 30+ year old feather pillow (that by the way my ENT doctor told me the burn) made by the great-grandmother, with the new one.  How is that for good sleeping!
