32 weeks!

Another week gone! The shower is now 2 weeks away and I am trying to finish up a few things here and there in the nursery. There are just lots of little details, like dresser knobs, which to buy? what kind do i like?- things that aren't very relevant but still must be done! Crib bedding should arrive any day now and I think its going to help pull everything together. Also left on my list of "i must do but do not want to do" is painting the trim in the nursery white, the previous owners painted all our trim cream and it just looks dirty. over the last year ive worked to paint it all white, but despise painting baseboards that border carpet..its impossible to not paint the carpet!! So im dreading that task in the nursery! Any ideas on how to avoid this are greatly welcomed! ( weve tried taping it off and that didnt work very well).

I ordered and received Floradix aka liquid iron. My iron was low at the last visit and could explain my fatigue, the liquid is non-constipating and isnt hard on your stomach at all like the tablets. Plus, the tablets only allow you to absorb 2-5% of the iron on average while the liquid allows you to absorb up to 40% of the iron. So it only makes sense to order the liquid! just mix 10ml with a little OJ and youre good to go! This week was the 4th of July so Ben and I enjoyed watching the local fireworks from our cul-de-sac, otherwise, the week has been pretty uneventful, and im happy to still be baking baby B, hes not quite done yet :)
