Bedrest and Nursery Pictures

My life is pretty boring these days but that will change soon! I went in for my 37 week appointment and the Dr. ordered me to be on bedrest because of high blood pressure. So my last day of work was last Tuesday. A little earlier than I expected but I've had a good week of rest and now I'm ready to meet little Audrey. I'll go back to the Dr. tomorrow so we might have more of an update then. The bags are all packed and ready to go! Here are some pictures of the nursery.

Happy Anniversary D!

Today we are celebrating our 3rd year of marriage. Happy Anniversary D!!!

29 Day Countdown

So this pregnancy thing is kind of all consuming lately. I have about 29 days left to go and some days I am wishing it would happen tomorrow and other days I'm thinking that I need the full 29 days to get ready.

We went to the Dr. yesterday and got to see little Audrey. They are saying that she is right on track size wise and is head down and ready to come anytime now. Here's her profile shot...
She is about the size of a honeydew melon...

It's been alot of fun celebrating with all my sweet friends. Here is the Tech contingent at one of my baby showers.

And here's a picture of the crib set up. Maybe after this weekend we will have more pictures of the nursery but we are still waiting for the dresser to get here so it's a work in progress.

And here's a picture of the dad to be. He came up to my work for a baby shower last week and I thought this picture was so funny. He doesn't know what to do with all the pink stuff that is invading our home. I can't wait to see him as a dad for the first time. I know he is going to be a great one.

Baby Showers

I'm a little behind on blogging but here are some recent pictures from some baby showers.

Tech Friends in Shreveport

Cornerstone Shower in Baton Rouge

My mom surprised me with this quilt that we worked on together when I was in Jr. High and we took a quilting class from our neighbor.

Nursery

We are slowly but surely getting the nursery together. We decided to go with pink (surprise, surprise) and I love how it is coming together. Here is D hard at work putting up bead board. Here are the colors of paint that we were choosing between. We ended up going with the second one from the left.

Here is a picture of the crib bedding.

And here is a picture of the pink and the bead board. There is still some finishing work to be done.

I reached the 29 week mark today so I am in my 3rd trimester. All of the sudden it feels like it is all going by so quickly. We had a Drs. appointment this afternoon and the Dr. said everything looks good. I'm starting to go to the Dr. every 2 weeks now so the end is in sight.

Do you think the dogs liked the snow?

Valentine's Day 2010

My mom, sister Julie, and sister in law Dana came in town on Valentine's weekend. Little did we know they picked the worst weather of the winter to come visit. But it was such a fun weekend and we got alot of baby stuff done like registering and picking out some stuff for the nursery. And of course we went out to eat alot. I had just found out the week before that I passed my 3 hour glucose test so I found a new appreciation for eating :)

Here we are at Chuy's with my aunt and cousin.

And there was no power in most of Highland Park but Sprinkles knew we needed some cupcakes so they used generators to keep making their delicious cupcakes.

Here we are registering at Target (oh my word, my belly looks so huge in this picture).
