Today I had my 34 week appointment. Everything went smoothly. My blood pressure looked great, his growth was on track, and my weight was right in line! The best news was that I got an ultrasound and he is officially head down!! I sure hope he stays that way! This will give me the best chance for a natural delivery. But he's gotten so big and handsome!! (c: I loved seeing his little features. I am feeling very blessed that the pregnancy has gone this well. I hope it continues this way for the last 6 weeks. Keep that in your prayers!! Not much else to update on. I'll go back in 2 weeks and then every week after that from there. We are on the final count down to Haybaby!! YAY!

Still working on the nursery

Here are some more updates from the nursery. We finally got the glider assembled and a shelf. Also, my mom found these cool stick on wall stickers that had evergreens. SO CUTE! Anyways, here's the newest additions:

The evergreens





Glider and shelf..although I need to move the pictures up a little...




Dresser...soon to have a changing table





View from the door..forgive the clutter in the corner..still putting things away






Well, Wednesday will be 33 weeks! About 50 days to go!! I'm starting to get excited and nervous all at the same time! Say a little prayer for our little family! We love you all!

Updates!!

First off to my faithful readers who have been harassing me wondering where my lastest update is, it's finally here! So sorry, it's been crazy busy! But there's lots of say so here I go!


Saturday I had my first shower which was thrown by 3 of my beautiful friends in Southlake. I can not even begin to express my thanks to them and everyone who came. The day was more than I could have asked for! So many little details went into the shower and I was having a blast when I first got there looking at them all! I got to see some that I don't get to see too often and it was a nice time visiting. Hayden received so many wonderful things and his nursery is really begining to come together! So much goes into preparing for a baby and we could not have done it on our own! Thank you so much!!! Here are a few pics of the shower. I will spare the ones of me, cause I'm a beluga whale...plus it takes FOREVER to upload pics on here!

Wonderful shower guests!!

And some more!

Hayden's Moose cake!

AHH!! I love these pacifiers!!

Diaper cake (c:

I don't know why the moose is wearing a napkin...

It was such a great day and we are still sorting through wonderful baby items. I was going to post pictures of the updated nursery, but my little blog is being a pain and keeps trying to put them above the baby shower ones. I will make a seperate post for that later. Anyway, it was great to see everyone who came out! Can't wait to see everyone in Houston next month!!

I had a Dr visit today and things still look good. She said that Hayden felt like the was head down, but we will have to do an ultrasound here in the next few weeks to confirm it! I am hoping that he is!! I go back in 2 weeks for my 34th week check up and then every week starting at 36 till he is born! WOW! Almost there!

Please keep little Hayden and our family in your prayers! We are so anxious to meet him! And thanks to everyone for your love and support during this whole pregnancy! We can't wait to share our little man with you all!!

Haybaby has a bed!!!

This past weekend, we got the dresser and crib into Hayden's room! Yay! My little man has a bed! This is such a relief cause I feel like something is in it's place. Now if for some reason he comes early, he at least has a comfy bed to come home to. Adam and his dad assembled the crib and Hayden's Grandma (my mom) and Nanna (Adam's mom) helped to put up decorations. It's not finished yet, but it's a start. My mom found a moose lamp and a nightlight we are going to order for the dresser. Here are some pictures of what it looks like so far. You can click on each picture to get a larger view:

Where he will hopefully spend MANY hours sleeping..





Yay!

The dresser

I also hung in his room a picture my brother took out in Big Bend, which I love. It's right when you enter the doorway. I was glad to be able to incorporate Uncle Wesley's photography in it.

here are the links to the lampshade and nightlight:

Just thought I'd share the progress!

The Cupcake

Some have asked me about my most recent doctors visit. Well, since you asked...

I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday. It was pretty routine and things looked great. The only issue was that I waited for almost an hour due to another patient being complicated. In that hour, I managed to find a Southern Living magazine that had a picture of a cupcake on it decorated for the 4th of July. I looked up the cupcake in the index and flipped to the recipe page. I read about 3 different recipes for desserts: cupcakes, creme cake, and lemon cake. All that was fine and dandy until you consider my state. My original appointment was at 1:30 and for lunch I had a quick sandwich around noon before running off to my appointment. In that next hour of waiting, I began to get a little hungry. Finding the cupcake magazine...well, this just intensified it. It turned into a full fledged pregnancy craving which I tried everything to ignore: I texted Adam, I stepped on the scale, I quickly stepped off...I attempted to take my own blood pressure, I played with the plastic ovary statue, I emptied out the contents of my purse looking for a mint, I found a pen, I played a game of tic tac toe...with myself, I put the pen away, I sat on the exam table, I attempted to sit indian style, I fell off the exam table, I glanced back at the cupcake, I text Adam about the cruetly of said cupcake, nothing worked...Once my doctor got to me, I was never so happy in my life to have a her check me out so fast. So finally when I left I drove straight to the store. I ended up baking 24 cupcakes and ate about 6 of them in one sitting. *sigh* Needless to say I am over my cupcake craving...

But I start going back every two weeks now. Hopefully I can avoid any issues with cupcakes from here on out. So my next appointment is July 1st and I will be 30 weeks. So it's just a little more than 11weeks till little man is here!!! It's getting so close!

Cribs, and showers, and clothing OH MY!

Party at my Crib, 2 am...:

About a month ago I went to order Hay baby's crib. My mom told us she would purchase our crib, dresser, and glider which we are so thankful for. However, when I went to order it, it wasn't in stock ANYWHERE! I was pretty bummed out cause I just love it. So they put us on a waiting list to be notified when it came in. Well, yesterday I went to Babies R Us with my friend Kim to clean up my registry. (I got a little clicker happy when I first started it...needed to be more refined!) When we were there I decided to check on the status of the crib. Lo and behold! It was IN!! Not only that, but it was the first day they had them in stock at the manufacturer! I called my mom and she said ORDER IT NOW! The sales lady told me that everyone who wanted it had been calling all week inquiring about it. I was so fortunate to have been in the store that day, because I am sure the new stock will go fast. So we got the order in and it should be here in 7-14 days. These pictures are from the Babies R Us website, so this is not my lamp or nursery pattern, but you can see the crib! It's a convertible one so it will grow with Hayden. I can't wait to get the nursery all put together!

Thank you Grandma!!! I love my crib and dresser! Can't wait to get many naps and nights of sleep in it! ~ Love, Hayden

A baby needs how much clothing??

We are still amazed at how much we are receiving for Hayden. I just love what people have given us! Last weekend, Hayden's Auntie Emily found a little onsie with pants and a jacket that says "Little Man" which is what I call him! Also, Adam's cousins RJ and Shiloh gave us three big buckets of clothing to use for him, which I have had a blast going through. A few of my sweet friends in Houston also gave us some stuff when I was home at the end of May. I just really can't even begin to thank everyone for all you do for us! Adam, Hayden and I are so grateful!! I never realized how much stuff goes into having and raising a baby!!! AH!

Mmmmm, cake and punch...

The first of the baby showers is going to be July 11th in Fort Worth. Three of my beautiful friends (Catherine, Christine, and Tricia) are putting it on and I am just so thankful for all they are doing. I don't know all the details that they have planned, but from the little I've heard they are going all out!! I am getting excited!! The Houston shower should be August 15th, but I will give more info on that as it gets closer. I tried to invite people repsective to where they live, so if you don't get an invite to one or another and wanted to come, please let me know! I am NOT trying to leave anyone out.

Other than that, I am continually blessed by an amazing man who has taken such good care of me and Hayden. Even down to the littlest things, such as a bad day or emotional freak out, Adam has been there for me in everyway. He really is so wonderful and I am thankful for him everyday!

I have my next appointment this upcoming Wednesday so I will update again then!

Hayden's studio portrait!

Today we had our 3D/4D ultrasound. Wow, was it an awesome experience!! The only issue we had was that little Hay baby wouldn't get his hands off his face!!! We tried all sorts of tricks and angles, but he was just wanting to play peekaboo... Even though, we still got some great shots and really enjoyed getting to see what our little man looks like. Below are some of the better shots! When we finished, the lady had a little moose and his recorded heartbeat to put it in, so Adam got Hayden his first official stuffed moose!! It's pretty cute. Hope everyone enjoys seeing our little man as much as we did. I recommend it to anyone having a baby!
