Not So Lazy Sunday

So today is Sunday and we've decided to spend a nice relaxing day at home watching football (go Texans!). Aside from football, I've also decided to repack my suitcase for the hospital, and fill out the baby book we got about two months ago. Can you tell I'm anxious for this little one to arrive. I told Jim yesterday that I feel like I'm going to be pregnant forever!

I've also decided that today is the day that I will try and tackle a sewing project for the nursery. I will attempt to make a diaper stacker. If I'm successful I will post a picture of it on this site.

Well, I was successful! Here is a picture of the diaper stacker.

There are some minor imperfections but I have to say that I was pretty darn proud of myself for getting it accomplished in one day. As soon as it was finished we found a place for it in the room and took some more pictures. This is the room so far...This is the diaper stacker in its new home, already filled with diapers. I would like to get a shelf to put above the dresser, but that may just have to wait for now.
This will be baby Dean's sleeping quarters and although you can't tell so much from this picture, the crib skirt matches the diaper stacker.
And last, but definitely not least, is Haleigh's bed. We just picked it up about a month ago and we've all tried it out and so far the verdict is that the bed is extremely comfortable but the mattress sits down to low. We'll have to remedy that soon.

That's the tour so far. Hope you all enjoyed. We'll keep the updates coming. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before we have baby pictures posted for everyone.

Another Week

Ok, so we went to the doctor yesterday and found out that I have made no progress since last week in regards to having this baby. Needless to say both Jim and I were a little dissapointed. We were kind of hoping the doctor would say that we were really close and it could be any day now. But, alas, it looks like it could be at least another week if not two before baby Dean makes his grand entrance.

Our next appointment is on September the 27th and we will get to have another ultrasound done to get an approximate size. Keep your fingers crossed that he will be under 9lbs.

Summer Showers

The gals here at my work threw me a very nice shower last thursday and I thought I'd post a few of the pictures from that little shindig. The shower was a lot of fun and we got a lot of stuff that we really needed. I think we are almost ready for this little man to arrive!

I'm inspired

Well, I've officially been inspired by my cousin Lindsay to give this blog thing a try so that we can keep our friends and family updated. I'm not much of a writer so bear with me.

Well as you all know Jim and I are expecting our first child together on October 1st (or sooner). We are having a little boy and no we are still not revealing the name. He is baby Dean until further notice. I must say that a few of you have come up with some pretty ingenious names, Hector and Hogarth are among the most popular.

Our nursery is coming together. Jim's mom came over last weekend and put the crib skirt together for us. She was surprised to see the "surfin' Elvis" material, but I think she was pleasantly surprised at the finished outcome. For those that don't know the nursery theme is the beach. I will take pictures and post them as soon as the nursery is all put together.

I think that's all for now. I will try and post at least once a week. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
