Ayden's corner: December 2009

So sorry to those of you who've been waiting for these pictures...I thought I took pictures of the finished room without all the furniture but I guess I was wrong!! So here's what the room looks like right now!! I got some detergent to wash everything & we just got the mattress today so I'll be setting that all up & pictures up in the very near future!!

Just to update you all on my last Dr's appt....everything is good! His heartbeat is great 137 bpm. They still count me as 34 weeks (so tomorrow I'll officially be 35 wks according to my Dr) but I'm sticking with 35 weeks going on 36!! Pretty much I figure if I make it to the 8th of Jan...I'll be happy! That will put me to full term!! We still need lots of diapers (size 1) but we do have some to get us started! We also need wipes, receiving blankets, towels, wash cloths & avent bottles if anyone wants to help! We have a lot of the must need items though.

I'm exhausted these days & Jeremy's & Taylor are being real big helps to me!! I've been having back pains & cramping which has not been fun! Sleep is something I have no clue what it is anymore!! Some days when he moves it hurts more than it's enjoyable! Though as much as it's a pain...I'd deal with all he dishes out just to know he's ok! I see my Dr again in 2 weeks (Jan 5th)..will update you then!

Crib (quilts made by my mom)

Changing Table will be moved to different location

later

The wall the changing table will go on when Jeremy

gets bigger screws for the cable outlet

The stroller...it matches the pack-n-play!!!

Now if the baby comes...we have a car seat!!

The swing!! I put it together all by myself!!

The bear is just to help me figure out some things

Ok, I know it's been a week (& 1 day) since my baby shower but I was exhausted after the shower & wanted to relax for a few days!! We spent the whole week cleaning & I worked (on & off) all week on the chocolates as favors!! The Monday after I did try to work on resizing the pictures & seeing which ones came out good & the ones I really didn't want!! I tried doing save as to save in a different file & then I accidentally saved all!! At that point walked away & just got back to it today!! Fortunately I do have the pictures still in my camera so I can just reload them back in the computer! Plus with my belly growing it's really hard to type on my lap so I've had to use a TV tray & I have to sit up to be able to type this!! It's not very comfortable!!

With that being said...it was a great baby shower!! The games we VERY fun to play & everyone said they had a great time!! I'm so greatful for Hope & Lauren for driving alllllll that way to come...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Andria did the shower but Perianne was a big help to her so thank you Andria & Perianne for all your hard work putting all of it together & all the food & your wonderful gifts!!!

I will take some better pictures of the blankets & the quilts that were given to us so you can see the whole thing!! Also we got the stroller/car seat (finally) & we've set that up plus the snap & go stroller my mom sent so I will get pictures of them & posted probably sometime next week!! Ok so with all of that being said...I think the pictures will speak for themselves & THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR ALL OF THE GREAT GIFTS!!

We were playing a game.

This was one of the results of that game!
