36 Weeks...No Change

I went to the doctor yesterday for my weekly appointment and of course Colyn is snug!  I had no change so it is time to start walking, LOL!  Everything was good though and I go back in a week.  Here is my weekly belly picture.

There is not much to report on the home front, just trying to get last minute things done before Baby Colyn makes his grand entrance.  I finally got his bag packed but still have not even started mine. 

I have enjoyed watching the Christmas movies that are on now with Jacob.  It is a joy to sit and watch him get so excited about Christmas and Santa Clause.  I know he is still young but I can not wait to start new traditions with him and Colyn as the years go by.   I hope you all have a great Thursday!

Wordless Wednesday: My New "D" Wreath

I am so proud of my wreath, I made it all by myself, LOL!

Long But Busy Weekend

Thanksgiving weekend was a nice break from work but still busy to say the least.  I managed to get most of my Christmas decorations up and ran around like crazy.

Thursday was a wonderful day spent with family.  We had lunch at my Gran's house followed by taking a trip to Jarred's parent's house to see his great-grandmother and grandmother.  Friday we decorated and cleaned before the Iron Bowl.  Several of Jarred's buddies came over for the game and there was a short time that I thought I might go into labor during the game, but I didn't and Bama managed to pull out a win, Roll Tide!

Saturday, Jarred went hunting so Jacob and I headed down to UAB's last home game to see Haley cheer.  It was great weather and a fun game although UAB lost.  It was fun to watch Haley cheer, next up basketball.  After the game, we went back to my parent's house and had yummy seafood for dinner and watched The Santa Clause.  Jacob was stuck to the TV, it was so funny because he would not even acknowledge us when we were talking to him.

Sunday we went to church and then had Thanksgiving at my GiGi's house.  We had a lot of great food and of course everyone was stuffed and didn't want to move!  That pretty much sums up my weekend, sorry I have no pictures to share.  Hopefully I can get some up to share tonight.  I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

35 Weeks and Thanksgiving

I am 35 weeks and slowly making progress.  I went to the doctor yesterday and had my first check.  According to the doctor I am a good one centimeter dilated but still pretty thick (I know everyone wanted to know that, HA).  I go back every week now, so next Wednesday will be my next check.  Here is my weekly belly picture.

 

I look like I'm holding a basketball underneath my shirt, LOL.

Tuesday I was able to leave work early to go to Jacob's Thanksgiving feast at school.  I am so glad I got to go, he was so cute and had a great time.  Here are some pictures that I took.

With it being Thanksgiving I just wanted to say that I am so thankful to God for giving me such a wonderful family and friends, that sweet boy in the pictures above and the one on the way!  There are many more things I am thankful for but these are the most important.   I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoy all the wonderful food that will be served.

Wordless Wednesday: The Finished Product

The nursery is complete!  Now all we need is a baby to go in it.

It Was Sprinkling on Sunday

This weekend was very eventful to say the least.  Friday night we had GNO at my friend Melissa's house.  We had a great time just cutting up and being girls!  They gave me a great basket filled with baby stuff for Baby Colyn, thank you girls! 

Saturday I completely over did it.  I tend to get ideas in my head and when I want them done I do not like to wait on anyone to do them, so I decided I would rearrange my living room.  I am in total nesting mode right now and I can not sit still.  Jarred went hunting so he was not home and I did not feel like waiting so I did it.  I was pretty worn out by the end of the day to say the least.  My friend Christy came in town Saturday afternoon so we just hung out and went shopping at Target with Jacob. 

Sunday, my wonderful friends threw me a baby tea or sprinkle as they say if it is a second child.  They also all went in together and got me a double stroller (which I can not wait to use).  It was great, I had such a great time and got a lot of great gifts.  Baby Colyn will not run out of diapers or wipes for a while! 

We had the tea at my house so everyone could see the nursery.  It was a great excuse to have everything done and my house clean, HA!  Here are a few pictures from the day.

I am so happy this is a short week at work because now it is time to decorate for Christmas.  I am going to try and take it easy for a few days as seeing that I could not walk by Sunday night.  Jarred made me put my feet up and rest last night, which is really hard to do when I have so many things running through my head that need to be done.   I hope everyone has a great week!

34 Weeks

Only six more weeks to go!  There is not much to report this week other than I am just tired and getting very uncomfortable but that is all a part of it.  I go back to the doctor next week for my first "check" and will then go every week until the end.  Here is my belly picture for the week.

I have been getting the nursery ready this week to show off at my baby shower this Sunday.  I still have several things to do but hopefully it will all come together by then.  I picked up Colyn's bedding on Wednesday night and I am so excited to show it to everyone.  Beckers is a local company that I found through several friends and Becky, the owner did a great job on the bedding.  She is as nice as can be and has very reasonable prices on her bedding.  Here are a few pictures of the finished product.

  

I know the pictures are dark, they do not do it justice.  I will try to get some brighter pictures this weekend.  The bedding also came with a blanket that Becky made, but for some reason I did not take a picture of it.

That is about it for me.  My friend Amy and her husband Mark had their sweet baby on Wednesday and I am so excited to finally meet her this afternoon.  They made us play the guessing game for nine months because they did not find out what they were having.  I am so excited for them, this is their first child.  I was right all along, I knew it was a girl!  I hope everyone has a great weekend, I have a busy but exciting one ahead.  Happy Friday!
