Introducing....

Ayden Christopher Willey



This is an updated ultrasound picture we had gotten on Jeremy's birthday (20 October)!! They're pretty satisfied that after all of these ultrasounds that he does NOT have Club Foot!! (They finally told us what they were looking for) His right foot is just turned in a little bit & they think it could just be his position. He's just fine & growing right on schedule though his head is quite large but I hope that it's just because that's how it goes with the growth!! He's moving more & more everyday though sometimes he likes to freak me out so I have to shake my belly a bit to get him to move just to make sure he's ok!! Jeremy felt him move for the first time while we were in California!! I don't know how excited he was (cuz he don't show a lot of excitement for anything really) but I loved the fact that he was finally able to feel his son!!
Got the call back from my Dr's office from my blood work (the glucose test) & now they want me to go in for the 3 hour test!! UGH I hope it's not bad news!! If so...I guess no one is getting sweet treats from me for Christmas this year like I wanted to do!! Sorry to all of my neighbors...I had some sweet treats for you this year too =( but there's always next year!!! I will update you when I get the results back!!

less than 100 days to go...

Wow time is really flying by!! Though it seems than January is still so far away!! Flu season has me really freaked out right now (which is why January seems so distant) & I hope that we can make it thru this!! I'm still debating on weather or not to get the flu shot!! I can't even tell you weather or not I've even had it! (I have to consult with my mom on that one) So I don't know how I'll react to it! On the other hand tho...I don't want to risk myself or the baby getting the flu!! UGH...this has to be the hardest decision to make because I want to have my son in January & this whole flu & shots thing is really freaking me out!!
Well...on to better news!! Our vacation was great!! Jeremy & I had so much fun doing NOTHING at Disneyland!! Yeah sure, there were rides I could have gotten on but neither of us really wanted to stand in any lines!! Jeremy did get a fast pass to Space (or Spooky) Mountain that morning (which his slotted time was for 8:25PM) & just watched Honey I Shrunk The Audience then....just simply walked around enjoying bench after bench & shopping & parades, of course clam chowder & fireworks!! With all that sitting around tho...my feet were still hurting really bad by the end of the day so I'm glad we didn't do much else or I think I would have had to been wheeled outta there!! Jeremy & I enjoyed so great pizza at this place in old towne Orange our first night at my dad's...we did lots of shopping (but didn't really find much) & got 2 onesies of the baby!! I had a great visit with my friend Nora on our way to my dad's (we broke up our trip & stopped in Beaumont to visit)!! I think this was the first time we went out there where it was just like a vacation & not work!! Jeremy always complains saying that it feels more like work & not a vacation because all of the running around we do (especially at Disney)!!
Well since I never received any emails about the "name game" blog...I guess you all do not mind that I post his name!! Though I will give ppl just a little bit longer to protest this (just in case)!! I promise that (if no one objects) I will post his name in the very next blog!! I really just want to give you one last chance if you don't want to know & I really don't want to post it in this blog because I don't want it to get lost!!
The room is still a work in progress...things have just been soooooooo busy around here that we (more like Jeremy) just haven't had the time (or the energy) to get it done!! November should be a little less crazy...well at least for birthday's, vacations & activities!!

Well, that's all for now...I have a Dr's appt tomorrow so I will let you all know how that goes. Until then...happy reading & here are some pictures for you to enjoy!!

Babies R Us was discontinuing this so I had to go get it!! (it was on our registry)

BABY SHOWER!!

Ok so my lovely neighbor/friend Andria has been so sweet to offer to throw me a baby shower!! We have set a date for 12 December at my house. If you would like to come please email me noelle.willey@gmail.com (I know I've posted this a bunch of times on here but just want you to not have to look for it) or you can email me on Facebook to let me know & give me an address to send the invite. I'd like to have this information by the end of the month so that Andria can send out the invites next month. If I have not heard from you by next week I will text you (because I know some ppl can't check this on a regular basis).

The name game

Well we have picked a name...now we are deliberating the spelling of said name!! So therefor we will not be announcing the name until we have come to an agreement on that! If you would like to NOT know the name once we have picked it please contact us so that I know not to announce it on here & so when we are speaking to you we do slip up!!
As far as everything else...things are going smoothly so far. We're gearing up for our last vacation until we have the baby & can travel again! Hopefully people keep their sick butts at home & don't infect myself or anyone in my family & we just have a great vacation & a safe pregnancy! Will update you all when I get more news to report!!

6 Months...3 to go!!

24 weeks

Well I'm officially 6 months preggers TODAY!!! YAY!!! Now only 3 more months to go! It really hasn't seemed like it's been 6 months! It really feels like I've only been pregnant for 4 months or something!! WEIRD I KNOW! We've been keeping VERY busy so I think that's what has made it fly by & we're still VERY busy! We're pretty much busy throughout the whole month of October...not too sure about November...just getting ready for Christmas I guess & of course December is jam packed!! We're starting off with my Baby Shower!! That will be held on the 12th of December...for any of you reading this blog who lives near by & you would like to come...please email me on Facebook or contact us with your address so we can send you an invite! My neighbor Andria has been so gracious to off to throw it for me!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH (again) for doing this for me!! Then of course after that will follow my 30th birthday!! THIRTY!!!! I get to celebrate such a monumental occasion 8 months pregnant!! Though I wouldn't trade none of that!! I love him & will gladly celebrate my birthday with him nestled inside me!! Then of course after that...is CHRISTMAS!!! My most FAVORITEST HOLIDAY of the WHOLE YEAR!!!! (though I start enjoying it after Thanksgiving because of the decorations!! Wow...I get to enjoy my baby shower with my Christmas tree!! YAY)
I really think that January will be the month that goes on FOREVER!! There's really not a lot going on that month! Plus I'll be so huge...even if there was I don't think I'd enjoy it much!
My goal is to have the baby's room set up by December (if Jeremy doesn't drag his feet any more) before the shower!! As you can see below...painting is just about finished. After our Cali trip...the wood paneling will start to go up. I can't wait to see what it will look like when it's all finished!!
We've been buying a few things here & there...I went out & bought the Diaper Champ I wanted (the newer style didn't get as good of ratings as the old one did) & yesterday I bought an outfit & a 5 pack of Calvin Kline onsies...(they were waaaay cute & only 12.99 at TJMax)!! Soon I need to buy some Dreft so I can wash all the clothes & blankets we've gotten!!
He's still kicking my like crazy but I'm still the ONLY ONE who can feel it!! Jeremy just had his hand on my belly & baby was kicking like crazy (like he always does after a shower) & Jeremy felt NOTHING!! WEIRD 'cause it was like a kung fu movie up in there!! Oh, well, hopefully he can start feeling him soon...then maybe it'll be more REAL to him!
Well that's all for now...will post more when the room is more complete!!!

Painting is underway!!!

We (well Jeremy) started painting on Sunday 27th of September...we used a different paint & primer (Glidden) & the fumes are so bad that I cannot paint!! I kinda hate that I can't do anything but I'm taking safety precautions by not being in there! Here are some pictures of the progress so far!!

Jeremy putting the primer on for the red It was like mud!!
The first coat of scarlet!!
Looking good!! After the first coat of grey!! All done with the base scarlet & grey
Now time for the stripes....that will be done this weekend!! then later this month will be the wood paneling!!
