she's stubborn already.....

So, there will be no baby this week. That is unless I can figure out how to put myself into labor... Apparently this little girl is quite comfortable where she's at. I was forced to make another appointment for next week, which I swore I wasn't going to have to. I was much more ready with both my other kids than I am at this point. Actually I think I was delivering Liam at this point. Not sure what that says for this sweet girls personality, but she's not coming til she's good and ready. I just hope it's soon!

Appointment....

Well, I'm off to my last scheduled Dr. appointment. Technically, I have a week and a half left. But when we were making appointments last month, this was the last one I would let her make for me. So, I'm hoping this little girl is getting ready to make her entrance into this world. Because her mommy can't wait to meet her!

Nursery...


Well, after lots of hard work, by many helpful people our little girl finally has a bedroom. The pictures don't do it justice at all. The lighting is horrible. The bottom of the room is a pretty green, and the top is cute creamy yellow. We need a few finishing touches..you know stuff on the walls, pictures in frames etc...but it's come a LONG way! I wish I had taken a before picture because this was the storage room for our entire house! That is why it has taken so long to get this done. It housed, all of our luggage, pictures, old preschool stuff, and anything else that didn't have a home. My mother in law Jane has been a huge help. She has spent countless hours over here helping me organize and find new homes for things. I really appreciate her. She even cleaned and organized Avery's room for me. Cody's brother put up the chair rail, he is a perfectionist so it looks wonderful, and we had lots of help with painting and moving furniture all over the house. So, thanks everyone!! It's done and it looks great.

The bedding is really cute.. it says "lullaby birds" it has lots of bright, cheery colors and cute birds and flowers. I was also able to recycle a few cute things from Avery's nursery, so that was good.


I hope the mobile doesn't scare her, it kind of looks like the birds are coming to peck her eyes out!!



I wish the pictures were better, but that's what I have for now. Now that her room is ready, and my house is somewhat organized I'm ready. I go to the Dr. on Wednesday, hopefully she's getting ready too and will be here soon!! We are all excited now. Cody is excited for a little time off work. I'm excited to see my little girl and to sleep on my stomach! It's crazy what you look forward to! We are excited to have her here with us and start adjusting to life with three! We'll see how that goes, wish me luck!

Nesting....

This is to all of you who have been so worried that I'm never going to be ready for this baby! (namely Tammie and Janelle).. Well, I think the nesting has finally kicked in. I know it's about time, I am 36 weeks along. Tonight Cody's lovely family came over to help me get started. We got paint picked out, the guys moved all the furniture. My truck is FULL of stuff I'm driving to Good-Will in the morning. So, at least I got started. I think the nursery is going to be really cute. I'll post pics as soon as it's painted. Liam got his room all set up and thinks he is really special. We went to the Dr. today. He did and ultrasound and this little girl is in birthing position, she has Avery's cheeks and lots of hair as far as we could tell. So, now all she needs is a NAME and a place to sleep. We're still working on both......
