On Friday I went to the chiropractor after work, and I don't know what the deal was this time but she really did a number on me. She didn't do anything that she doesn't usually do, but when I walked out of there I was in quite a bit of pain. By the time Jake and I got to my parents' house I could barely walk. I couldn't walk from the bathroom to the couch without crying. I thought I was going to have to crawl down the stairs to go to bed, but crawling hurt just as bad as walking so I tried my best to suck it up. I didn't feel much better on Saturday, so we had a lazy play-with-Mikayla day. Then by 8:00 PM I was going stir crazy and my back was feeling a little better so we went out and did some grocery shopping. Jake calls me Mother Waddles because when my back is acting up I have that pregnant girl waddle and I have to walk very slow. People keep joking that I should use a motorized scooter, and I just keep flipping them off.

I think we're close to getting the nursery done. Well, we started it anyway. Heh. Jake primed the room on Friday and we picked up our bedding on Friday night. We picked up a bookcase that was on sale at Target and we went to Home Depot to buy paint. When we got home today Jake primed and painted the top of the dresser to see how it would look, since the staining didn't go well. It looks like it might work, so provided that we still like it in the daylight tomorrow, he'll work on painting the entire dresser. Then we can paint the room and call the furniture store to have them deliver our crib. My Michigan shower is on Saturday and my sister wants to spend the night to help us put stuff away, so I am hoping we can get everything done by Saturday. I don't see it happening, but we'll see. The furniture is dark brown, almost espresso, we're putting a sage green color on the walls, painting the trim white, and bringing white accents into the room via curtains, an area rug, lighting and other decor. I am drawing four pictures for Gertie and we're going to mat and frame them with white and hang the pictures on the wall. I just want the room to look very serene.
