The furniture is here!!!!

Here are pictures of Trey's nursery so far! It is still a work in progress!!

I love this little lamp! I think it is so cute!!

This is Trey's dresser/changing table. The rails around the changing pad come off, so that when he is older, he has a nice plain dresser!

This is his chest of drawers!!

This is the glider that my parents got us! I was so concerned with picking a color that would coordinate with the walls...then when the glider came in, the fabric matches the carpet in his room perfectly! So funny!

These are the letter that are going to hang on the wall behind his bed!

Here is his lifetime crib!! We obviously are still needing a mattress! haha.

This is the view of the room where the changing table and rocker are!

This is the few of the other side of the room. I couldn't get behind the rocker to get one of the other view, but the bed is the only thing on the other wall, so there really wasn't that much more to see!

My mom is working on making me curtains for the room that are brown/brown tonal stripes!! And Pop (Brian's granddad) has made me a wooden clothes hamper, and they are getting paint/stain to match my furniture so that he can get that painted to match!! Brian and I really love the nursery! We have both already been in there rocking in the rocking chair!! Only about 8.5 more weeks, and Trey will be here with us enjoying his new room!!

Check up today

Today I had my 30 week checkup! Everything went well! I even was able to finally get my H1N1 shot! I'm glad to have that finally! Now I just have to make sure I don't get sick in the next couple of weeks since it takes a couple of weeks to get in your system completely. Everything at the check up went well though! My blood pressure was great she said, and Trey's heartbeat was nice and strong too! I love getting to hear it on the dopplar every time I have a check up! They measured me again, and this time I was right on track at 30cm. At my last check up 2 weeks ago (28 weeks) I was only measuring 26cm which is still in the normal range, so I guess I had a growth spurt these last 2 weeks, because I was right where I should be today! I have another check up in 2 weeks (December 4th), and then I can't remember if that is when I'll start having to go every week, or if it will be another time after that. I will be 32 weeks at my next visit, so I can't remember. I think I will have a few more every 2 week appointments before then, because I don't think the every week appointments start until I get to 36 weeks. But I guess we will find out! haha!

I'm also really excited because I went and paid the balance on Trey's furniture this morning, and Todd and Brian are going to pick that up tomorrow and bring it home to put together! It will be so nice to have his nursery all put together!! Or at least have the furniture so that I can start putting things in the right places will be helpful!! :) Don't worry, I will take lots of pictures when we get the furniture in there!! :) And I plan on taking pictures of all the gifts from my last shower and posting them today on facebook, but I will put some of them on here so that you can see a couple of things if you don't have facebook!

Baby shower #2

This past Sunday I had another baby shower at my sister in law's house in Louisville! It was hosted by Candy, Kate, and Ginger, with some help from my mom! Ginger and Kate couldn't make it for the shower from Texas, and I wish they could have been there, but obviously being so far away, I understand why they couldn't make it! I was really excited that we got our stroller and carseat as a gift!! That was something that we definitely needed, so it was really a nice surprise!! We got tons of other great gifts again at this shower, and I will be taking pictures of some of the gifts to post on here so that you all can see some of the awesome stuff!! I will be taking pictures of everything and putting it on facebook, so when I get those on there, I will put the link on here for everyone to see!! Thank you to everyone who made it to the shower and for all of the great gifts!

10 weeks and counting!

Well, I am only 10 weeks away from my due date!! It is really exciting to think that Trey will be here soon!!!! Now we just have to finish getting everything ready for his arrival, and we will be all set! I got a call yesterday that all of my furniture is now in, so I'm really excited about picking that up and getting that in the room!!! I can't wait! I will definitely take pictures when we get the furniture in the room, so that everyone can see what it looks like! I have another check up on Friday of this week, and I'm going to get my H1N1 shot at that visit as well. Here's hoping that everything is still going smoothly! I don't have any reason to think otherwise so thats good!! I'm sure I'll get to hear his heartbeat again, and I love hearing it beat so strongly! More updates to come after my doctor's appointment. My boss is coming into town tomorrow for 2 days, so things are a little stressful at work preparing for that, but it shouldn't be too bad. I'm also trying to prepare myself for the start to the holiday season next week after Thanksgiving! Crazy!!

Trey's nursery

I wanted to put up some pictures of Trey's nursery!! We just had the room painted today, and it looks great! I will take more pictures as his room is finished, but I wanted to take some so that everyone could see it as a work in progress!!

These are the letters that we are going to hang on the wall!! :)

Baby shower #1

So today I had my first of 3 baby showers!! It was so much fun and we got so much great stuff!! Tina's friend Debbie hosted the shower, and it was beautiful. There was tons of food (which was delicious) and tons of gifts!!!! I am going to put the link to my facebook photo album that I created with pictures of all the items we got today, so hopefully you can check it out!! :) We got an assortment of things from pacifiers to piggy banks, diaper champ to changing pad! So many great gifts, and Trey is going to be set by the time he gets here!! :) He is definitely a loved little boy already, and I'm sure he will only be more loved when he arrives in the new year!

If anyone has problems seeing the pictures on facebook, let me know, and I will post a few pictures on here so that everyone can see what we got! I am going to put a few pictures on here from the shower, but there are about 50+ pictures on facebook! :)

Here is the link:

Here are some pictures from the shower too:

We graduated!!

As the PA at my OBs office told me today, we have graduated from check ups every 4 weeks, to now having check ups every 2 weeks!! That's definitely one way that I know we are getting closer!! :) The check up went well. I got to hear Trey's heartbeat, and it was nice and strong! While she was listening to it, it ranged from 147-151! It is always such a nice relief to hear that strong heart beating in there!! They measured me again this week, and that was fine too. I am 28 weeks along, so they want me to measure within 2 cm of how far along I am, and I measured at 26 cm. She said that by my next appointment, I could be measuring right on track again depending on when Trey has his growth spurts! Today I also had to get my 1st rho gam shot. That wasn't the most pleasant! I don't like shots in the first place, but that one was pretty painful. I don't know if it was the needle that hurt so bad (she said it was a bigger needle than she used to use, but now they ship the medicine with the needles already on it) or if it was the medicine, but it hurt and burned for a bit! Yuck! But, I was feeling fine afterwards! I had to run a couple of errand this afternoon too, so all the walking around during that helped make it less sore!

One thing I did get mad about is that no one in my doctors office told me how early I needed to sign up for a childbirth class. I came home from my appointment and logged onto the hospital's website to register for a class only to find that the class is already full, and the next one they have available isn't over until after my due date, which obviously isn't very effective. I put in a call to the maternity education department over at the hospital to see if there was any way possible that Brian and I could get into one of the classes that would be completed prior to our due date, but I had to leave a message. I never did hear back from them today, so I'll be calling them back on Monday, since the class we want to get into is set to start on Thursday! So please say a little prayer that we can get in that class! Brian and I are already a little bit anxious about what to expect since this is our first little one, so it would be a nice peace of mind for us to be able to have this class to kind of prepare us! So here's hoping!!

12 more weeks!

Well, I have finally hit the 7 month mark in this journey, and now I only have 12 more weeks left!! I get a little anxious thinking about how little time that is, because there is still a lot to be done! I have my first of 3 baby showers this weekend, and I'm really looking forward to that! Trey is going to get so many new things that he needs, and I am excited about getting his room finished, and being able to get everything in there!! I have a check up tomorrow, and then from here on out, I will be having check ups every 2 weeks!
