An updated prego pic of me! I am definitely starting to get VERY uncomfortable!The 3rd trimester has officially begun. This baby could be here anytime in the next 10-14 weeks! AHHH! (12 weeks until my due date, but they say give or take 2 weeks).
Two weekends ago, my mom and dad threw me a baby shower in Cincinnati with all of my extended family! We had a great time, and I feel truly blessed that everyone was so generous with their gift giving! After spending a whole weekend there and having a party, i sadly only have 1 picture form the trip, but it's a good one. Above is my cute grandpa Charlie mowing his lawn. (Our little boy is going to have a middle name of Charles after this guy!)The next big event was the installation of our new carpet thanks to the US Government and all the billions of dollars they just went into debt by giving us all money! However, I am grateful! We got the new carpet in our master bedroom and the baby's room and it is SO nice. This house is really starting to feel complete now! And, since the carpet is done, we were now able to set up all the baby furniture! Look at the pictures below...it's all starting to hi me that there will REALLY be a BABY sleeping in there soon. No decorations on the walls yet, but it's coming along.
A view of the room from the doorway. Crib on the back wall. Dresser and changing table on the front wall. Notice the lovely new carpet. Our animals love laying on it.
The crib with drawer beneath. I am going to use the drawer to store blankets and such. You can already see some of them in there.
The dresser with changing table on top. The cool part is that later on, we can take the changing table off and it can jsut be a dresser on its own.
Here's where the crazy pregnant side of me came out. For some reason i just HAD to put all of his clothes that we have in hsi dresser. There really is no point in doing this because I have to wash all these clothes before he can wear them. So why did i fold them all and put them in?!?! Who knows?!?! Ask my raging hormones!
Last picture for now is of the rocking chair/reading corner. I put the bookshelf next to the chair so that we have all of our books right there at night to read before bed! Now I just need to get more books to fill it up. We are thinking bout painting the bookshelf a light blue color, just to add something to the room. But Chadwick thinks he likes the light colored wood. Thoughts??Oh, and, can you tell Jack likes his baby brother's new room!?!?
We also had a great time celebrating my 24th birthday. Chadwick made me a steak dinner on Thursday night and then we had some friends over Saturday for a BBQ! Thanks to everyone for all the generous gifts! I am used most of the money to buy a patio umbrella for the table on our back porch! and I am using the rest to go shopping!I have to be honest though, all this baby stuff is much more exciting than a birthday. Thus, tons of baby pics this post and none of my bday! Sorry!
That's it for now. Hopefully more to come soon!
Love,
Ashley
