PRESENT!

My good friend Danielle sent this package to me the other day!! Can you see the hand-made quilt? Yes, I said HAND-made! It's awesome with cute turtle flannel on the back. And a beautiful dress with matching bloomers (cute!!), a pack of onsies, a pack of sleepers, some soap, lotion, desitin, diapers, wipes, and a receiving blanket.

I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone. Only 9 more weeks to go...and I still need to finish her room aaa!!!

Anyway, just though I'd share! I love you Dani!!!

31 weeks and counting

Here is the latest shot of my belly. I am 31 weeks pregnant as of today and feeling good. I am up to a whopping 170 lbs from 140 lbs starting out. My Mom is coming down for the birth, but since she's in a wheelchair she can only be away from home for a short time. So we arranged for her to fly down the day before my due date and stay until the day after. I was a bit worried, knowing that you can't really "schedule" when a baby wants to come, but I talked with my OB doc yesterday and pleaded my case and she said she would schedule me to be induced on the 21st of Sept (my due date) if I didn't have her before. So now I am praying she stays put so Mom can be there. At least I won't go 10 days late like last time!!

Anyway, my kids are playing in the backyard so I have got to go supervise...

Dang its been awhile!!

I didn't think it had been this long since my last post! Sorry! Been busy busy though! I have started to feel the pressure to get things done for Sparky (aka newest baby girl). We don't have hardly anything ready and I am scrambling. its not as easy as DD#1 was, I had an empty room and we had plenty of space for her crib and changing table and things. NOW though we have to rearrange 2 of the pre-existing 3 kiddos! I live in a 4 bedroom home and had the 2 daughters sharing a room and Bubbah all by himself. The downstairs room was a catch-all for our junk. Well, I have since moved Bubbah downstairs after getting rid of the junk in the spare room. Re painted to suit a boy's taste and everything!

Here's a "before" shot if the primer...

And here's Bubbah on his new bed in his new room. BUT those aren't his permanent sheets! I didn't pick purle floral sheets for my boy, that's just the only set of full size sheets we have!!

And since he and his belongings are out of his old room upstairs, I can get it painted and set up for Sparky and DD#2 to share. I figure DD#1 will need her own room eventually being that she's pushing 6 yrs old already!! So she will have her room to herself.

After room #2 is done I will post more pix. I have a bad habit of not poting for a month at a time but I will try to do better!
