Late

So.... yesterday was Avery's birthday. Well, it was supposed to be Avery's birthday. Where is he?! Why does he not want to come out and meet us yet? We don't know what the deal is - after we went to the docor last week she was sure he would come on Wednesday night or sometime Thursday - but here it is, Sunday... and still no baby. I feel like we have tried everything and we are merely at his disposal.

Fortunately, our doctor won't let us go more than a week past our due date, so at any rate the lastest will be next Saturday. Any bets on when he'll be here? :)

Boob Pillow

So.... in the midst of getting ready for Avery to arrive we have been trying to organize everything and pull out the suff we are going to want/need right away and not worry about the stuff that we'll need a few months down the road. We have also been in the process of moving all the baby stuff we have been collecting from my parents house - where we have stored it all - to our new place and into his room.

Through all of this, Alex has fell in love. No, not with the idea of bringing a baby home... or with all the adorable things we have for our new family member.... he has attached himself to a boppy, which he calls a "boob pillow."

The funniest thing is that it's not even a nursing boppy, its one of those play ones that you can lay the baby on and attach toys. Alex doesn't care - he still calls it a boob pillow and he thinks its the best invention they ever made - for him, not for babies.

Here he is!

He thinks he's so cute. He's actually been sick the last couple of days so I'm surprised he's smilinglove the new hat!!

trying to hide...... probably because I told him I was putting these on the blog and he got all embarassed!!

I think in this one he is showing how he's really been feeling lately.

Finally.... A New Post!

I have gotten bad about not writing on the blog lately. We have had so much going on that eveytime I think about sitting down and writing something I realize that I have 1,000 other more important things to do. So, I have been putting our blog on the backburner for a while and I just decided (while sitting in class this morning) that it was finally time to write another update.

So.... I have been thinking lately about how close it is getting to the day that Avery arrives. Two and a half more weeks... and he could potentially decide to come at any time between now and then. Of course we are super excited about finally getting to meet him in person and to see what he looks like and what his personality is going to be. I have had such an easy pregnancy that I am afraid of what the payback for that will be once he gets here!! haha.

I hope that he is going to be as good to us once he's here as he has the last eight months! Besides all the excitement and getting ready that we've been trying to do, I am starting to get a little nervous. I feel like women who have C-sections are lucky in that they know exactly when their baby is going to come into the world... they know the date and the time and they know pretty much what to expect.... I have no idea when Avery is going to decide he wants to come out. I don't know what day or what time... or how long its going to take or what to expect. It's a little bit scary to be in the dark about something so important and life changing!

Other than that, I think I am ready to be done being pregnant. :) Like I said, it hasn't been bad for me at all; however, I am at the point where I can't do anything without it being a struggle!! I cannot wear shoes that must be buckled or tied..... I cannot put on socks....... we do not have a shower with a tub - so most of the time I can't wash the bottom of my legs and feet.... (don't worry, they do get cleaned!).... getting off the couch or floor is a workout..... I spend about half of my time out of breath..... I have to lean over or stand sideways to give Alex a hug! I am excited for the day when I will not be afflicted with these things!!

So.... we moved into a new place. We felt like the teeny tiny one bedroom would be a little tough with a new baby. Don't get me wrong, I know people do it and they survive - and I'm sure we would have too, but we are lucky enough that we were able to get something a little bigger and alot nicer. I have been running around like a crazy woman trying to get everything the way I want it before Avery comes because I know after that I won't have any time to do anything. Every day my mom and Alex yell at me that I need to slow down, but if you know me well enough you know that I am not patient and I don't like waiting for things when I can have the satisfaction of having them done when I want - if I just do it myself. We've gotten everything done, but the baby room. Luckily though, we have been blessed enough to have people give us things and get things for us and we have everything we need for him - we actually probably have more than what we need - so a big THANK YOU to everyone who got us something or gave us a piece of furniture. I tried to make sure I wrote cards to all, but I am sure through the excitement and the moving and school and work I probably forgot someone.

I guess I am done for this update. I will post pictures of the new place hopefully within the next couple of days and We'll post pictures of our new family member hopefully within the next couple of weeks!!
