Baby Room

The room is done! Here are some pics...the blank wall is where we are going to put her name with wood letters...we just have to figure out what her name is ;-).

Update on the Little One

Well everything is going along well. The little babe's stress tests have come back great and she had gained a pound as of her last ultrasound (I was so proud of her!). We have another ultrasound next week and if she's still growing well then they'll let her stay in. As of right now the doctor is saying she's going to induce at 39 weeks...that means only 3 more weeks!!! We almost have the room done so I think we're about ready...it really has gone by fast though!
Love to all and we'll keep the updates coming :-)

Baby Showers!

We had our last baby shower this past weekend! They all have been so much fun and everyone was so incredibly generous. We can't express in words how grateful we are to have such love and support surrounding us and our little girl!!! I want to give a special shout out to those that planned the showers as well...my mom, Jacquelyn, Krissy, Jess, Kim, Ashley, Ruth, Kim, Julie, Michelle...they were all so much fun and so creative ;-).

The Nesting has Begun!

Sunday went like this...Todd goes to work and the baby room has carpet. Todd comes home and the baby room has nothing. Yes, I decided to rip up all the carpet in the baby's room (and yes, I did all of it myself...carpet,pad,tackstrip). For some reason I got it in my head that the baby needed everything fresh and new...I mean, really that new paint would look so good with some hardwood flooring! Todd was a great sport about it and told me he would get the new floor put in on Thursday...I really couldn't ask for a better hubby! I'll get pictures up next week...we should have the flooring, furniture and everything in there by then.

4th of July

I must say the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays...it just screams summer and I love summer! Todd got the day off this year which was sooo nice. We took Sadie for a hike with her friends Harry & Charlie, went to Todd's boss' house for a crawfish BBQ (no I did not partake in the crawfish) which consisted of 150 lbs. of crawfish, and went to the Simpson's for fireworks. It was a great day and we really enjoyed spending time together and w/ friends. As I watched the little kids running around all day I couldn't help but start thinking about how cute I'm going to dress our little girl next year...red,white,blue outfit and cute bows in her hair...oooo, I can't wait!

Southern California Trip

We just got back from a wonderful trip out to San Diego & LA (our last trip before the baby arrives). We spent 2 days with Allan & Margie enjoying San Diego (especially the magnificent desserts at Extraordinary desserts...you must try it if you're ever down there!). Todd provoked his need for a motorcylce even more by going on a couple rides on Allan's bullet bike. We then headed up to Reseda to see the rest of the family. We enjoyed the beach, relaxing and catching up with everyone. Todd even babysat Tristan & Jocelyn so Meg,Kim,& Olivia could go get a pedicure (it was wonderful practice for him). And yes, that is me in a bikini at 7 months pregnant...I was quite nervous, but there was no way I was going to miss out on the beach/ocean and maternity swimsuits aren't fitting yet (there were other prego ladies out there too so I felt better).

We had a wonderful time (yes, even though it was 100-114 outside!) and can't believe that next time we go down there we'll have a little one with us. She definitely made her presence known this trip too though...once by kicking Todd in the bum as we laid in bed one morning :-).

Father's Day (early)

Todd got to celebrate his 1st Father's Day and he even got it early! He got a few cute things for his little girl on the way and I think it made him even more excited. He also got the day off work(which is AMAZING). We enjoyed spending time w/ the fam and celebrating old & new Dads. We went to a boating event for awhile where the baby danced away to a live band (she's a mover just like her Daddy!).

I also forgot to mention that a few weeks back Todd gave me flowers & chocolate for my 1st Mother's Day...such a great hubby!!
