56 Days & counting!!!

32 WEEKS!!!


Well here I am...in my 8th MONTH!!!! Crazy that we've made it this far!! I hope we can make it the rest of the way! Some days I don't even feel pregnant (well besides the belly)!! He really seems to like playing games with me....he likes to sleep a lot which after a while starts to freak me out a bit but then just when I start to worry...he moves to show me he's ok! The bed room is pretty much done & I will post some pictures as soon as we get it cleaned (which will be Tuesday the 1st or by Saturday the 5th)!! We're getting the carpets cleaned thru the common areas in the house & then Ayden's room! Then we can set up the crib & changing table/dresser. I have the pack 'n play all set up in our room waiting for him! This month after the baby shower we're going to get some more of the stuff needed that we don't get from the shower. We're going to get the other dresser, rocker, & stroller/car seat (it's a set) in this month (unless someone wants to get it for us...then just let us know before the 16th so we don't get it)!!
I look at his pack 'n play & wonder if we're ready for this but I know in my heart we are I think it's really just nerves getting to me! It's really weird because I didn't have so many worries when I was pregnant with Taylor & I was young & didn't have a clue what I was getting into but I had no worries really! I guess it was because I knew I had so much help! It's just Jeremy & I & he has to go back to work at some point! Speaking of work....he's going to be off work from Dec. 19th-Jan 11th (for mandatory time off during the holidays...thank god for salary!!) & then he's going to work from home Jan 18th until Ayden's born & then he'll be taking some time off...working from home when he can & then he'll be heading back to work (not sure how much time he'll be off before he has to go back)!! So he'll be able to help me get things ready before Ayden gets here!
Baby Shower is on the 12th & I'm so excited!!! For one, I'll get to see people I haven't seen for a really long while & for two, everyone who's been so supportive thru the though times from last year to now celebrating Ayden's upcoming arrival! Thank you again Andria....I don't know if I'll ever be able to thank you enough for you doing this for me!!

28 WEEKS 12 TO GO!!!

28 Weeks

Wow...first of all I want to apologize for this taking so long! I started this as a draft at the beginning of the week to get the pictures loaded & ready when I started typing! As my belly gets bigger & bigger it gets harder & harder to type! Plus...I've been trying to get paint touch-ups done & trying to get this house clean so I really haven't had much time to get this done!! Not to mention...I'm always soooo sleepy because it's hard to sleep well when you're constantly being woke up to need to roll over or needing to go to the bathroom!

Whew...so I've made it to the 3rd TRIMESTER!!!! Which means I'm really starting to FREAK out because we're not that far away from the due date but also because we don't have much of anything other than clothes & blankets!! UGH & then there's Christmas which is really putting a strain on things!! I'm getting excited for my baby shower & seeing all of my friends from out of town...though it's only going to be a few...I appreciate you coming!! I'm also still freaking out about whether or not he will even make it here!! I know that so much can still go wrong & I can't get that off of my brain no matter how hard I try! Every second he moves is a relief to me!! I pray to God EVERYDAY that I get to take him home with me & he's healthy! Please if you would...pray with me because he could use all the prayer he can get!!
We're starting our birthing class today (11/06/09) & can't wait!! I'm kinda an "old dog" of sorts when it comes to this...I've been there & done this before but I feel that I can benefit from this as sort of a "refresher" course!! Plus since this is Jeremy's first time I think he can really benefit from this!! It's only today & tomorrow which I think is weird & you have to pay $70 for it but hopefully it's worth it!

It's been 2 weeks since I took my 3 hour glucose test & I still haven't heard back from the dr so I'm assuming everything is ok...I go back to the dr on the 17th & then after that I go every 2 weeks!! YAY!!!

Well that's all for now...I will update you again soon!!

Just did the red & the black stripe...getting ready for white!


Finished with the stripe...now due to textured walls
I have touch-ups to do!!
With the first piece of the wood paneling!!

Will post more pics as the room becomes more complete!!
