Baby's Room (Almost done)

Here are some pictures of the baby's room. Brad and I are so excited about how it is turning out. Everything is just about done but I am missing some cushions and the ottoman to the glider. Brad painted the lettering on the wall and put up the chair rail and the blue paint. I painted the clouds free hand (twice - long story) and did the decorating. Of course there is also the toy box. We decided to leave it out in the open instead of hiding it in the closet since it turned out so good. The decision might be revisited though. =) So anyways..take a look at the pics. Let me know what y'all think.

And, of course the dogs wanted to help with everything....=)

32 Week Appointment

I went in for my 32 week appointment today (I am actually almost 33 weeks). Everything looks great. I have been pretty lucky because this has been such an easy pregnancy for the most part (minus the first 20 weeks of nausea). =) My blood pressure is doing good (110/71) and I have managed (somehow) to keep my weight down too (only 22 pounds total). He is still measuring slightly above average in regards to my stomach measurements. The doctor laughs every time she looks at my stomach because Jaxson is VERY active during the day. He was moving all over the place and kicking like crazy. He is also very proud of his bottom. He will stick it out at you and if you pat it, he sticks it out further. His heart beat sounds great and the doc has started discussing birthing options with me.....birthing options!!?!?!?! oh crap..it is almost here and definitely getting more and more real!

Bastrop Baby Shower 10-25-08

Here are some pics from my baby shower in Bastrop, Texas. It was awesome!! My sister and mother hosted it and it turned out beautifully. Erin had the cake designed and even diverted disaster with the name misspelled at first but then a minutes and a few toothpicks later, no one could tell. It looked awesome!!!She also spent a ton of time (so I hear) on the baby item cake. And in a matter of a few seconds, her daughter destroyed it but at least she was able to try out all the items. I now know that each pacifier has thoroughly passed all inspections by Miss Abigail Grace. Erin's closest friend from high school, Sarah, made this awesome quilt for me. It was beautiful!! And from what I hear, props to Erin and Abby for picking all the fabric.
