NURSERY!!!
I LOVE IT! It's adorable! I just want to sit in there ALL day! Sean did such a great job on the mural, it's amazing! He is so talented! We're just waiting on a few things like the bedding, a rug, bookcase, lamp, and some wall fixtures. I have his name painted, but of course...it's a secret, so we'll put it up once he's born. =)

OurBabymoon!!
***UPDATE
South Bend, IN- Awesome! Loved the ND campus, it was gorgeous! Besides the one speeding ticket we got (even though we got pulled over twice), we had an amazing time!!
Boston, Newport and New Hampshire were amazing plus relaxing. It was absolutely gorgeous, but we're coming from Orlando, FL-- where we don't have season changes like the northerners. =)
If you've never been to either place, it's totally worth going to, just for the history, scenery, and all the things you can do. Plus, if you stay in Boston, there's so many places (states) you can travel to. We stayed a week outside of Boston and we did something every day!
Here's some of the things we did:
1. Boston
New England Aquarium
Duck Tour
Prudential Center
Boston Commons
Newbury St.
Ate at great restaurants in the North and South End
Cirque Du Soliel (not sure it'll still be there in November)
Fenway Park Tour
Faneuil Hall
2. Newport, RI
Flew kites on the shore
Toured the beautiful mansions
Ate yummy lobster
Shopped
Sight-seeing
3. New Hampshire
Apple picking
Festivals
As you can tell, there's lots to do...so, you can be active and do as much as possible or just relax the whole time. Either way, they are all gorgeous places!
I'm a tropical person and wanted a babymoon on the beach somewhere, but in all reality, this was MUCH better. For one, I didn't have to worry about what I looked like in a bathing suit at 6 months pregnant!
Sean and I also got massages done while we were there. I had a prenatal one and Sean a deep tissue. They were so great!
Overall, we had a wonderful time with our family there. We went to the traveling Cirque show with them and out to eat a few times. We are very thankful that we were able to stay with them. We also roasted marshmallows and made smores! Had such a great time hanging out with the girls. Loved the shopping pit stop we took! I'm even wearing some of the clothes purchased that day, right now-- Thanks Aunt L.!! One of the more favorite activities I think was when Sean made a scarecrow with the girls at the Applecrest Farm! They named him 'Mr. Hay' =) Thank you all for making it such a memorable babymoon!!!
Here's a temporary start to my blog about our babymoon, I'm trying to figure out a good way to add all the pics we took (then I'll talk about how much fun we had!):

QuickUpdate
So, the nursery is almost done! The closet is put together and the floors are all finished. Sean is just finishing up the mural on one of the walls and then we'll be able to put the furniture all together. YAY!
Aubrey and I went to a Baby Fair and had a lot of fun. I got a free 2 min 3D ultrasound. Beware though, it's rather early to get this type of u/s and therefore baby Mahoney looks a little freaky. Don't worry, there isn't a hole in his head. We will be going for a true 3D u/s probably around 29 weeks, where he'll look more 'full'. At first he wasn't cooperating and his feet were in front of his face. It took the tech quite a bit of time to get these, hopefully he'll listen more next time. =)

YogaAndHunger!
Yay, I have my 2nd pre-natal Yoga class tonight with 2 of my pregnant friends. We started last week and it's so nice and relaxing! It's supposed to help with delivery and preparing your body for it. I hope it does!! I'm also listening to a meditation CD at night when I go to bed that has a lot of positive affirmations to help with delivery. And reading two books called Birthing from Within and The Thinking Women's Guide to a Better Birth. I'm very excited about all of it and looking forward to a wonderful labor/birth experience!
As for hunger...wow! I'm hungry ALL the time! I'll eat two servings of spaghetti and not feel like I had a single bite! It's ok though, I'm feeding my hungry baby boy! =) I'm snacking a lot too, but that helps keep me sane...haha. I just need to make sure I don't eat 5 million calories a day. I'm trying to eat as much fruit and veggies as I can, but these 100 calorie packs really don't help, they actually make it much easier to eat more often just not as healthy. Oh well, I do what I can ;).
Here's a pic of the newest nursery update:
Sean's just gotta put the quarter rounds up and the closet back together, then we get to work on the details!! YAY! Love the wood floors!!!

UltrasoundVideo!!
I have it for you to watch!! It's the best video I've ever seen!!! I know you'll agree =). It's a little over 7 min long and there's no sound, but it's so amazing to watch. You'll see him kicking and kicking and stretching like he needs more room in there. You'll see my ultrasound tech point out that he's a boy in a few shots and where it pauses is where she's printing a still shot. You'll see his spine, ribs, hands, fingers, shoulder blade, diaphragm, skull, legs, just about everything!! He even rubs his knee at one point, it's soooo stinkin cute! My favorite part is the big stretch after she points out that he's a boy. She'll also zoom in on his heart to show the 4 chambers.
The best part of my pregnancy so far has been feeling him kick. At the point of this ultrasound, I hadn't yet felt him, at least I didn't think I had. And you can see him kicking away like crazy. Well, during our ER visit, I felt again what I had thought wasn't him and decided to check it out by placing my hand there and BAM, there it was! He was sure enough kicking me!!! That little stinker, but I wanted him to do it 5 million more times! Now, I'm feeling him when I lay down at night and when I squash him by leaning over at my desk ;). Sean has also felt him a few times, first time at the ER as well. That was the most amazing sight I had ever seen; Sean feeling it for the first time. My brain took a picture of that moment and I'll never forget it. He shouted (quietly), "I felt it!!" and then a moment later, "I felt it again!!" It was breath-taking! Anywho, I won't further delay the video...here it is (grab a tissue):
