Finally some pictures!

Hello everyone!!  So I have finally gotten my camera to load pictures back onto my computer after the crashing of my computer. So without further delay here are some pics of the nursery and things for the baby!!

This is the glider and ottoman that we got for the landing upstairs to use with the baby. It is sooo comfy and we both love it!

This is one corner of the nursery! We have 2 paint colors on the wall. One is linen and the other is baby olive. The linen walls have circle and ring wall decals in chocolate, buttercream and olive. We had a lot of fun putting them up and we love love the outcome too!


This is a picture of the baby olive walls. The curtain isn't finished yet, but if matches the receiving blankets!

Here is a picture of the wall decals and little dresser for our little one!
This is the shelf and bench unit that we have for books, toys, and other items!  I think it turned out great and I can't wait to fill up the shelves with books!!



Finally here is a picture of me. I have been feeling giant lately and haven't taken any pictures of myself growing but I have lately heard that I need to be taking some. So here is one....hope you enjoy!


I had a doctors appointment this past Friday and now will be going every week. On Friday we went and found out that I have started dialating and things are looking great! I know that doesn't mean I will be early,  or late or anything, but it is nice to know that things are on the right track! It sounds like the baby is doing well and we should have nothing to worry about at all! We toured the hospital on Saturday morning too this week! I know where I need to go now and how to tell people where to go. Those things definitely make me feel better about things, but I am still feeling anxious and nervous about not being able to control when and where things happen.  I really like the new wing labor and delivery rooms at Good Sam  and will hopefully be able to deliver there. 

We haven't been up to much lately other than working on getting things in the house taken care of before the baby arrives. We are finally finished with the organization of the basement and everything is on the shelves where it needs to be and we have an empty closet fo use for baby and kid things!! The pantry is organized with extra space made for the baby and I don't think we have any more projects to complete. (Except packing a bag for me and baby....)

I will keep you posted as to the events coming up! Hope you all have a fabulous week! We love you!!

And now we are waiting for baby....

Well we officially have pretty much everything that we need for the baby.  We have gathered the items we didn't get at the shower that we still needed and everything is mostly set-up.  We have spent the past couple of weekends working in the nursery and I think we pretty much have everything squared away there as well. I am still working on getting some wall art and other small decorative items.  I think that it all looks amazing and I can't wait for the baby to join us here in the room!! I would be posting pictures to go with this post however at the moment I don't have software on my computer that I can use to get them off my camera.  My computer crashed last week with a virus and we had to wipe it completely in order to get it back together. So now I am still in the process of getting things back on here to use.  I will post the pictures as soon as I can.

It is hard to believe that we are down to 4 weeks until my due date! It seems like yesterday that we were still telling people the good news! I am excited for the baby to arrive, but I am completely anxious and nervous as well. Blaine thinks that the baby will be arriving on the 13th of August because he likes the 13th and its Friday the 13th.  I don't reallly know what I think about when the baby will arrive. I just hope that it is near the due date and that we are all healthy and happy after. 

Blaine's orders from Atterbury are officially over for now. He finished up last Wednesday and is hanging out here with me for the next few weeks or so. He is thinking that he will be getting orders again for this job, but we just don't know when that will be happening. In a way the timing is great since we can finish up things for the baby and we can also spend some quality time just us before the baby too. 

I hope everyone is having a good summer and that you are able to stay cool in all this heat! I will try to keep you posted over the next few weeks as to the news of the baby coming. I will also try to find the software for my computer and post the pictures of the nursery. Have a good night! We love you!

Time to celebrate!

I want to take time today to wish all of you a very HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! I hope you all have had a weekend planned with family, friends, fun, food, and festivities! I know I do. Don't forget to take some time today to think about the men and women that are spending their holiday away from their families in the military. Without them we wouldn't have a great country to celebrate!! Be safe today and have fun!! Love you all!

Happy 4th!!
