26 Weeks, 4 Days

Dondi had another doctor's appointment today, and all went well. We are now officially (more or less) in the third trimester, so the home stretch has begun. The doctor said Jordan is growing on schedule. The doctor also said that Dondi's back pain should begin to subside in about 14 weeks (for those of you keeping score, the baby's coming in about 14 weeks). Roy also got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time today, which was very cool.

Roy painted the nursery closet Sunday afternoon. We thought about doing it over Memorial Day weekend when we painted the nursery itself, but Roy didn't think it needed it. Well, he changed his mind Saturday while washing down the closet's baseboards, walls and shelves (the previous owners cleaned the house about once every 12 years whether it needed it or not). So, he painted the closet Sunday after church. Roy's Rule No. 1 for painting a closet: never, ever, ever paint a closet on a July afternoon in North Texas. Ever. The fumes, combined with the heat nearly do not equal fun.

So the nursery is coming along nicely. We'll post some new pictures once we get everything that's supposed to be in the closet back in the closet, and we can get some of the wall art hung.
