Logan and Tyler Vote

Logan thinks the baby will be 75. I'm assuming he means 7 lbs 5 oz. ;-)
Tyler said, "Baby, five." (He copied Logan's guess, but didn't say the seventy).

We'll see!!! :-)

How big will Baby Girl be?!

Thought I'd request a poll as to her weight...any ideas?! :-) We have 10 days left to wait...

My vote is 7 lb 2 oz and lots of dark hair.
James' vote is 7 lb even with red hair. (I'm not sure who HE thinks the Dad is...)
The boys are sleeping, but I'll post their guesses tomorrow. :-)

Today was such a fun day- we got lots done (well, JAMES got lots done and I helped where I could...) All those things that have been sitting on my To Do list forever that have finally happened. Don't you LOVE days like that?! Here's some of what we did:
- hung my SUPER CUTE welcome sign that's now on my front door
- the baby bed mattress is moved to the top position- all ready for BABY GIRL!!
- we tinted the glass in our front windows surrounding our door
- we transplanted some of the flowers and plants I've been growing in my windowsill to the outdoor pots on our porch (they were REALLY needing more room to grow...)
- I put together the trundle drawer for the crib with Ty's 'help' (we've had it for 5 years now and have NEVER used the drawer- it's just been traveling with us in the original boxes!)
- James mowed the yard & weeded the garden (we actually have some of everything sprouting up, a couple of teeny tomatoes, and a plum in the works on our plum tree!)
- I bought some cute little gowns for Baby Girl (my first real baby clothes purchase for this little sweetie!)
- I tried out shopping at a store called Aldi's (good prices, lots of hassle, would never go with kids!)
- Cleaned out our storage room downstairs and pulled all the rest of the baby things out

It was one of those days where you just feel good looking at all the things you did that really didn't take that long, but you just never got around to doing. WAHOO! Anyway- I don't think I've been this productive in MONTHS- so now, I suppose I can take a break for another few months... ha ha ha

Can't wait to see what everyone votes for Baby Girl's size! (We can't vote on due date cause it's already determined to be on the 8th).

Baby Girl's Room!

Here's a corner of Baby Girl's room! I absolutely LOVE it! :-) As I look at it though, I probably should have put the pillows on the side by the wall. I didn't realize it until I was done and at that point I was too exhausted from crawling all over the bed making it the first time to switch it. It's amazing how in the way this tummy can be!! :-) I finally finished the duvet cover, but you can see that the pillows are still missing in action... my back is killing me from crawling on the floor to pin things and then sit at the sewing machine, so this is most likely the way it'll look when Baby Girl gets here- then when I'm feeling better I can finish those up. :-) I still have to finish up her crib stuff as well, but I won't move her in there for the first month or two anyway (thank you to whoever invented the bedside bassinet...), so I'm telling myself I've got plenty of time. ha ha The Care Bear wall is so far nothing other than the Care Bear pictures that I had when I was little- but they're so dang cute I couldn't help posting a picture of them. I'm SO glad my Mom saved them! :-) (I was Cheer Bear and my sis was Funshine Bear...we'll see who Baby Girl will be in a couple of weeks....I'm hoping it's not Grumpy Bear! ha ha) Anyway! Hope you enjoyed the sneak peak!

8 months!

Here's Baby Girl 2 weeks prior to delivery...thankfully I get to deliver at 38 weeks instead of 40! (My hat goes off to those of you who go full term...and over!) I am SOOOO ready to be done being pregnant! As James says, 'having another kid around is WAY easier than me being pregnant...' ha ha ha I'm lucky he puts up with me, that's for sure! :-)
This is Jenn- the sweet, sweet girl who threw me a Baby Shower!! :-) We had the chocolate fountain flowing beautifully, and had TONS of fun games and great company! She put so much work into it- it was really wonderful! And OH! the fun things for Baby Girl!!! I can't wait to put her in the cutie patootie clothes and use all the fun stuff...I can't believe she's going to be here in 13 days!! WAHOO!!! :-)

More Visitors!

James' Momma (Mimi to the kiddies) came out to visit as well as his sister Becky, and her daughter Hillary! We had the most wonderful time- shopping and gardening, and of course chatting!
Mimi loves to cook with the kiddies, and because it was Devin's birthday while they were here, a cake was a must! Logan and Hillary were 'helping' with the icing. It was SOOOO yummy!
And here's the Blue Power Ranger (Logan) with Mimi. He was sad to see her go, as always, but sure had a fun time while she was here!! Thanks for coming everyone!!

Uncle Devin Came to Visit!

James' brother (can you tell they're related?!) came to visit us- and boy did the boys have fun!! With a trip to Youth Conference, a Boy Scout trip to NASCAR, and all the work we made the poor guy do, I'm pretty certain he'll need a vacation from his vacation! :-) Here he is swinging with Tyler- I'm not sure who's having more fun!
Logan's muscles continue to grow...notice the tank tattoo that he put on for his birthday and is still there! :-)
Tyler LOVES to play Guitar Hero...and Devin unlocked quite a few songs for us while he was here as well...
Here are the men painting Baby Girl's wall! :-) It looks SOOOOOO cute! I can't wait to show the finished product pics- I have a couple things left to do and I'll post!

Thanks for coming Devin- we sure enjoyed having you!!

How Cute Can I Be?

Guess who Tyler gets his curly dark hair from.... :-) I LOVE how it looks after his bath! Talk about adorable!

Here's Tyler showing off his curls. I think he likes them...at least I know he likes them better than the sound of the hair-cutting clippers... We'll keep the curls until his 2 year old pics & fam pics with Baby Girl...after that, no promises! :-)
