So, thanks to Tamara's very generous co-workers and employer last week, we received a ton more baby products, including play sets, baby clothes, pacifiers, toys, the window valance, the crib mobile, and the high chair (thanks, everyone)! We also picked up a cool owl lamp, pillow, and some Irish baby garb in San Antonio/Spring Branch/Boerne over Memorial Day Weekend (thanks, Mom and Dad Mooney!) and then again this weekend at Babies R Us (thanks, Brian, for the gift card!). So, while the living room/library area is full of empty boxes and wrapping paper still, the baby nursery is even more complete, with some of the last finishing touches now applied. We assembled the high chair and the pack and play set, hung a few things up, and got the valance and mobile in place. And just in case she turns out not to be a she in a surprise last-minute turn of events, we've left tags on several non-neutral items for the time being...
Here's a few photos then of the nursery in its still more completed state...

Apart from nursery decorating, we also went to swim in the community pool today, which Tamara definitely appreciated. The weather was perfect summer weather for a swim and we both had a blast. Big news this week: the next ultrasound is scheduled for first thing in the morning on Thursday, so hopefully we'll have a lot of confirmation concerning due dates, single or multiple babies, hopefully another confirmation that all of our pink things will definitely be put to good use, etc. We'll post another update with some images and video from the visit toward the end of the week.
