Sunday Post - 160 & Stacking the Shelves - 115

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

This week was eventful. Monday, Husband and I went to have a 4D Ultrasound of our little girl! That is one of the absolute coolest things ever. She was face down and we couldn't get a good picture of her (except her feet and hands) for the first ten minutes, and I was starting to resign myself that we just wouldn't get to see her face. But then the ultrasound tech had me change positions and sure enough she flipped over too and we got some really cool shots. Tuesday, we started birthing classes! AH! It's hard to believe that we're far enough along to be going to classes, but here we are. We also did some browsing for a glider/rocker/recliner. Our intentions were to put it in the nursery, but that room is so small that it will probably end up going in the living room. Thursday, I baked a cake for a co-worker's birthday and took it to work on Friday. Saturday was mostly spent cleaning house, vacuuming the pool, and floating around.

Goodreads description--The time has come for one winner to be crowned.

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.
