dUe Date...

Well, its May 28th (our due date)...but we don't have a baby:(

**We are learning our first lesson of parenting...Patience....I heard kids have a mind of their own i think she is wanting us to learn this early in our life together....

**We are also going to teach her that sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do because I (and the Doctor) said so...(like come out of my belly), so the plan is if she hasn't decided to come on her own by thursday we are going to help her along...

Since I have officially been prego for 40 weeks... here are just a couple of things I have learned along the way....

**I have lost my filter somewhere during this pregnancy...someone will say something and I say something back and then I'm like crap I just said that out loud...so my apologies to anyone i have offended during these 9 months...I'm hoping my sweet self returns soon:)

**People say the weirdest things to you when your prego.... My favorite comments came while i was working... I had a patient start to cry and tell me that I am "a baby angel making factory".... my favoritest comment came just this week, i had a patient look at me and say, "Oh you got bit by a trouser worm" ha ha!

Things I will miss about being prego...its been nice to always know where my baby is.... its fun to feel her move...{she goes crazy when I drink a frazzle}... I get out of doing a lot of things like lifting stuff & turning patients... my almost daily coco butter massages by Bode (we have been thru 4 bottles)... he has been a good sport, so far they have paid off and i haven't got any stretch marks, but we still have a few days.

Things I can't wait for.... tanning.... I'm ready to look normal again... i want to go jogging... 12 weeks off of work to hang out with my baby:)

Well here is the official belly picture...

{Look at those chubby cheeks ha ha...hopefully baby takes those with her when she comes}

Well we will keep ya posted...

all our bags are packed....

Well i guess we are at the point where we can say "any day now" but we aren't making much progress, so probably around her due date {which is like 11 days away} or after is looking more like it. We are getting excited to see what she looks like and i'm getting excited to not be prego anymore:) Baby was super spoiled at her baby showers...thanks again everyone for all the cute stuff...she is going to be one well dressed baby...

Well we have done a lot of projects to prepare for baby so here are some pictures of her nursery...hopefully baby stays a girl:)

{The frame on the wall use to be a mirror, we are turning it into a picture frame. She has newborn pictures scheduled already so hopefully soon there will be a super cute picture of her in it}

{We made this valence and covered it in fabric}

This was Bode's big project...my grandpa made this cradle when my brother was born... i thought it needed a little TLC....and i'm not a huge maple-yellow kinda wood color person...so after all his hard work.....

It turned out so cute...everyone that comes by comments on it... My mom made some super cute bedding for it... the cradle will move in to our room when she comes, but i think it would make it a little too real if we moved it in now..{ha ha you would think that the ginormous basketball glued to my stomach would make it too real}

{We painted some the stripes on the wall and put up some vinyl}

{I made the bumper pads and crib skirt, and bought the crib blanket off of etsy}

{The mobile is the same one I had as a baby}

Speaking of babies here is the biggest one of all....Jett is going to be one in a couple days....seems like we have had him forever, ha ha....he definitely has given us the most training for a baby...he had a tramatic spring this year...he had a hematoma removed from his ear and got neutered...so we had a few weeks of him being a cone head...oh man was he the saddest thing you ever saw! We are so glad he healed up cus he started to use that cone as a weapon...oh man it hurt when he rammed your leg with it....{And for all of you that are starting to demand belly pictures...i promise to take one before she comes, but oh man looking prego is something i just don't really want to remember ha ha...}

Baby update...

Baby's 1st skull blanket:) Bode picked out the fabric and it turned out way cute. My friend Chelo and I made these blankets the other day (like it took us all day ha ha) Hopefully we will be pros for our next baby project:)

Here are a few things about Baby M that I probably should write down before I forget:)

• We found out we were prego at the end of September and it was a SupRIse:) It's probably a good thing she decided to come now, cus I don't think I would ever be ready for a baby.
• I was really nauseated & tired for the first few months, but am feeling pretty good now.
• I remember when Bode asked me in Novemeber what I wanted for Christmas and my answer was sweats ha ha....you can tell all I wanted to do was lounge.
• I've got a little baby bump, but there isn't much to it so far...I gained about 7 pounds. I haven't had to switch to maternity clothes yet. I'm thinking that I might get lucky and be able to avoid maternity clothes:) Bode thinks that the baby isn't growing in my belly, but a little higher up ha ha... thats about the only item of clothing I've had to go get a bigger size in..ha ha.
• Baby M is beginning to be pretty active. I felt her flutter around 18 weeks, but she really started to move consistantly at 21 weeks. The first person she kicked was Jett. He was laying on my belly and she did not like him there. She is good to move for Bode. If we put a flash light on my belly she likes to kick at it (I don't know if it is really the light or the pressure that makes her kick)
• We have a couple of names we like its between 1st: Chesney & 2nd: Quinn, I don't think we will officially decided until she comes.
• We are viable now:) (I guess it probably only means something to somebody if they are in healthcare) I think my career choice makes me not as excited, cus I had a whole semester in school where we talk about pretty much everything that can go wrong with pregnancy and babies, so i'm a bit of a worrier.
• I am working hard on trying to pick stuff out for her, but man I just don't think they make stuff cute enough ha ha, so i am make slow progress on her room. She does have a crib and and end table so far...



We are just over 24 weeks, so only 16 weeks left till she comes....Crazy!
