2 Months

Dylan turned 2 Months old on Tuesday, so this is a little late but oh well!!


What happened this month?



- We had to start supplementing you with formula, because you weren't gaining enough weight. Good thing you LOVE formula.

- Your first week with formula, you gained 12 oz! Dr. Daniel was so proud of you!

-You are now wearing size 1 Diapers, and have been for about 3 weeks!!

-You are finally fitting better into your clothes, though you can still wear newborn sleepers.

-Your pants finally don't fall off of you, but they have a long way until they start fitting you correctly!

- You have started smiling, though it's still not on demand, only when your happy in the mornings!

- Looking around is your new favorite thing, you hate to stair at someones shoulder!

- Your working so hard to hold your head up all by yourself. It's soooo much stronger and you can look around for a little while, but then it gets to heavy!

-You rolled over! From your belly to you back. Though everyone missed it because well, we weren't watching, and the dog was in the way. You have done it again since for me, but Daddy has yet to see it!!!

- You've been sleeping in your own room! You seem to like it!!

- You LOVE your mobile and your swing mobile, you'll stare at them forever if they kept going around and around!!!

Dylan really is the most amazing baby. He never cries, and if he does, well it's because he is hungry! Even though the kid eats like a TON, he is still probably weighting in under 10 lbs!! He's going to be like his daddy, long and lean! We go on Monday for his 2 months appointment, and the dreaded shots, but I'm sure that we will make it thought! Adam and I couldn't have asked for a better baby. He has completely spoiled us for all babies to come I'm sure. Because from what I hear, we've really lucked out with this one!!! haha. We'll see, maybe he'll be hell on wheels when he turns one!!!

Where do they go?

My days. They seem to just slip by so fast. Did you know that when babies get older they like to take shorter naps, and are awake longer, therefore allowing me to get less and less done? I guess I knew that, but still!! We are still hanging in there. Not much has happened since my last post. I've worked out a few days ( I still hate to do it) we've gone on a few walks since it was like 70 here this past week. Adam and I went out to dinner last night, thanks for Aunt Erin for wanting to come and baby sit:)

Dylan update:

It was a big day in the Fenner house on Thursday. I put pants on Dylan and then picked him up and THEY DIDN'T FALL OFF. He's getting so big. We weighed him with our " at home baby weigh er" ( a kitchen scale with a decorative bowl on top of it!!) and he weighed in at 9 lbs!!! Chunky Monkey.

He is holding his head up a lot more now. He can only do it for about a min or two before you can tell it starts to weigh 10 pounds. Then he slams it into our chests or shoulders or wherever it might fall!

He liked to hang out in just his diaper.

He likes to be held looking out. He is starting to look around and not just stare at the wall, so he gets frustrated when he has nothing to look at.

He is going to have a little temper. When we are giving him a bottle and take it away to burp him, he lets out the cutest, most annoyed whine, a person will ever hear. haha, we figured he would have gotten the routine down by now, but apparently not!!

We've gotten a few smiles out of him, they don't come on a regular basis, but in the mornings is our best shot

My Mommy Must Haves

Now that Dylan has reached the ripe old age of one month, I feel like I have a better idea of those " must haves" that I couldn't live without. These are going to be in no particular order, just things that I use on an everyday basis, or well almost everyday basis!

1) My Little Lamb Swing. BEST money spent for this little fella. He loves his swing. It allows me to take a shower. He also sleeps in it sometimes, when he doesn't want to be in his pack and play.

2) Pack and Play with changing table attachment. I spent months and months thinking how I wanted his nursery to look, and well he's been in there ONCE. I took him with me to get a pair of pants ( I have since then moved most of his clothes down to our room) He sleeps in his pack and play at the foot of our bed. We did have to get him a little inclined sleep posisioner, mainly for the little arm things on it. So he feels like he's being held. But we love that thing. I don't have to go far when he wakes up in the middle of the night, and we don't have to go all the way upstairs to change him.

3) Diaper Genie. We could probably live without this because his diapers don't smell that bad yet, but there is no way we could just put them in any old trash can. We have two VERY interested dogs, and I bet dirty diapers would be on their list of things to steal out of the trash!

4) Newborn Diapers and clothes. Now I know this might not be true for everyone, but Dylan is still in Newborn everything. Though because he has been spitting up a lot now, we've started to put him in some 0-3 months stuff. But it just swims on him!

5) Bottle warmer. We JUST started to use this. Dylan has been breastfed, but because of not gaining enough weight, we have to supplement with formula. Running warm water over a bottle TAKES F.O.REVER to heat cold water! The bottle warmer does it much faster and you don't have to stand there to hold it!

6) Carseat and stroller travel system. Dylan loves his carseat when he is in the car!:) It has allowed us to go out to eat several times becuase well, he sleeps so well in it!

7) Last but not least. Aden + Anais Muslin Swaddle Blankets! OMG, I LOVE THESE THINGS. They are amazing. I quickly figured out that you CAN NOT swaddle with Carters receiving blankets. I have read about people doing it with those, and I can't for the life of me figure out how they manage it. Dylan didn't last 5 minuets in those. These muslin blankets have a good stretch to them, so you can really get them tight. These will be what I give anyone I know for a baby shower gift. They are hands down, AMAZING, and cute too!:)

So there you have it. The things that I couldn't live without during the day. I have a pretty easy baby, so he sleeps, eats, and needs a diaper changed, that's about it! If I can think of anything else I use, I'll let you know!

A Whale of a good time!

As I mentioned earlier in a post, Dylan loves bath time. He can be screaming his head off, He really likes to have clothes and a diaper on, and once we take them off he is not a happy boy, but once we set him down into his whale tub, he is a happy camper. He loves to have the water poured on him, and to just chill. I guess he gets his love of baths from me. I take one almost every single night. So finally, I took some good pictures of him taking a bath. I know I know, I'm a bad mom, becuase I didn't document his first at home bath, but at least in these, he's happy!! Too bad he doesn't quite smile yet, but I bet he would if he could!:)

One

Wow. ONE month. Time sure does fly! Dylan turned one month old on Saturday. He's getting to be such a big boy! So much has changed in that one month!

I have learned soooo much about him, and from him!
- He is awake much more during the day
- Luckily, he still sleeps well. Sleeps all evening, up around midnight, then up again at 4 or 5, then up at 9. Such a good boy lets Mommy and Daddy sleep till 9:)
- He loves baths, when he is in them, that is.
- Any type of movement will put him to sleep.
- He loves tummy time, as long as it is on someones chest.
- He is starting to see more things, you can see him keep his eyes on stuff. He REALLY likes overhead lights. He'll stare at them forever!
- He loves to be swaddled by Daddy. Mommy doesn't do it good enough, he always gets out of it!

Things he has taught me:

- My house is never clean, but a crying baby is much more important

- Eating is good, I don't do enough of it!

- To take naps, they are wonderful!

I can't believe over a month ago, he was born. Some days it feels like he's been here forever, and others, well it's still surreal. He got to meet lots of new people this past week. Lot's of " Uncles" if you will. Though not really his uncles, these guys have been a part of Adam and I's life for a while now. He got to meet- Noah, Andrew, and Josh. Oh and he got to meet a new friend Carson, two of them actually. Baby Carson, along with Momma Becca and Toddler Carson. It's been a great start to the new year so far, it's hard to remember to write 2010 on stuff, but thankfully I don't have to do it much!

A little different this year

Christmas was a little different this year, as to be expected, when you have a new addition to the family:) Not only was it Dylan's first, it was the first one in our new home, the first one where we got to spend it with both families ( since being married) and the first as a family.



Christmas Eve was spent over at Adam's parents house, where there were some other family members. Adam's Grandmother and her husband, and his aunt, uncle and cousin. So Dylan got to meet some of his extended family, though I bet that he won't be remembering that! It was a great time, we did presents and a full turkey dinner. We couldn't have asked for a better time, even Dylan had a good time. He was so good, slept most of the time, then ate, then was awake for presents. Which was good, because he got all kinds of things. For a three week old, he did well! Got all kinds of great books from his Aunt Laura including but not limited to: Where the Wild Things Are, The Velveteen Rabbit, and , some clothes, and some toys!

Christmas Day we spent at our house, my mom and sister joined us for an afternoon of a ham dinner, and presents. It was nice getting two full Christmas dinners so we weren't limited to having to pick turkey or ham! Again, Adam and I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas day, which was probably cut short due to nap time, for both me and my mom. I just can't hardly make it through the day without a nap!

Lastly, yesterday, we headed back over to Adam's parents house for a small family reunion if you will. Grandma Lou's new husband Richard's family had come into town. Some were local, others came from Chicago, and Atlanta. So Adam's mom hosted everyone and it was a good time, with lots of food. Everyone was amazed at how good Dylan was, he basically slept the whole time, and well everyone wanted to wake him up, so a little before we left I woke him up so that his Grandma Suzan could show him off, that is of course, until he had a dirty diaper then he was passed off to Mom and Dad!

Needless to say, we're tired of eating, as well as just overly tired. I feel like I could sleep all day, but sadly, I have this little tiny human that will not let me do that like I used too!:) My next post will be about my new " toy" and no, I don't mean Dylan. Sidenote: If I hear one more person refer to him as a toy, I might scream!

It must be hard...

To be this damn cute...

Dylan- 5 Days old

Life as we know it!

Adam and I couldn't be enjoying our newest addition anymore than we are. He is such a good baby, granted he is only a week and a half old, and things could change REALLY quickly, but he's been great. We are still getting at least 7 hours of sleep a night, because he gets up, I feed him, change him, then put him back down, by then he's usually already asleep. If he is awake, he just stares. He doesn't fuss when he is awake, he just stares at us and makes funny faces.

He has finally gotten going on the peeing on us thing. It took him a few days to get some distance, and he didn't really even pee during a diaper change until like Monday. Now every. single. diaper. change he will pee. We've gotten some on the bed, all over his pack-n-play, and well all over himself. Adam and I have managed to dodge that so far. Well, I'll be honest, I hardly EVER change diapers. I always hand him off to daddy, go do that!

We had his first pediatrician appointment Wednesday morning, it went great. He has gained an ounce since we came home, putting him at 6lbs 9 ounces. Such a big boy, but he is going to have his daddy's legs and arms, because they are so skinny. Today we put some 0-3 month pants on him, and well, we could have put another baby in them, they are HUGE on him!

We love being parents, we had a two bad nights, the first one, where Dylan wouldn't sleep unless someone was holding him, which was alright, because I have a reclining rocker, which is nice because we just held him and slept in the chair. It was a great investment. The second night was hell also, because he just screamed and screamed and screamed, and I had no idea why... It was rough. Being parents is hard. There is no question about that. I couldn't imagine doing it without Adam. It's very tiring, but Adam will watch him during the day so that I can take a nap, I haven't gone a day without taking a shower, and well Adam feeds me, so he is a huge help, and watching him with our son, just melts my heart every. single. day. I love ALL of my boys!

How it happened!!!

Thanks to the My Little Lamb Swing, I can sit here and start to write how Dylan entered the world. Without the " Too much info" details of course!

So here it goes!!

It started on Tuesday night. I had been having a few mild contractions, nothing to write home about, seeing as I had been having them for weeks. Adam and I had gone on about our business of watching Tv, eating dinner ( Chinese) and heading to bed. At about midnight, I started having " period like cramps" I thought, I've never really gotten them, so I wasn't sure. My belly wasn't hardening like I thought that it would so I just kinda lived through it. Then I noticed that they were pretty frequent so I started timing them. 10 min. That's 5 too many to warrant a call to the Dr. Or so I had read. The contractions went on at 10 min apart forever. It's amazing how fast time goes by when you are looking at a clock ALL THE TIME! haha, then around 2:30 or 3, I decided that I was in quite a bit of pain, but STILL the contractions were only 10 min apart! By this point I had decided we needed to go to the hospital, knowing full well we would probably get sent home,so I decided that I would take a shower to relieve some of the pain. IT WORKED! So I told Adam we didn't need to go just yet, so he went back to sleep! They died down enough for me to get like a 20 min power nap! Then I woke up in pain again. About 4:15 Adam rolled over and asked how I was doing, but the answer wasn't a good one. I was still in pain, every 10 min I remind you, so I told him to get up! As I was finishing packing a few things, and getting dressed he went an made some breakfast and then we headed out!

We get to the hospital, and the whole time I am telling Adam we are going to be sent home because my contractions are not the 5 min apart most Dr. look for. They were still 10. So I get the L&D, and they ask if I'm a "Scheduled Section" and my answer was like " Nope, I'm a surprise and I HOPE I'm in labor" So they take me back to get me checked. So here is the moment of truth. The nurse says..." Were you planing on getting an epidural?" Me " UMMM YES!" Her..." OHHHH, if we make it that far, your already 8 cm, maybe 9" " Oh Good God " ( Or something very similar) She quickly calls the IV lady and the anesthesiologist. The IV lady comes in, and does her business * Side note* I have never had an IV before, or even been in a hospital for that matter, so when I was joking through the whole thing, then told her " I didn't feel a damn thing" she was very impressed!

Then the Epidural lady comes in. Even though they hadn't gotten my blood work back or given me a whole bag of fluid, she gave me the thing, because well I wouldn't have gotten it had she not. Let me tell you, that epidural is the strangest thing EVER. It felt really strange to have a needle grinding your spinal column, then to feel your legs go numb, but I would get it again in a heartbeat. It was amazing, and again, I kept joking about how heavy my legs were, the nurse thought it was funny! So then my Dr. gets there and I am at "9 almost 10 cm" But they wanted me to wait to push, so Dr. went and had some breakfast, and then we looked at the snow that had covered Frisco, and watched " bringing home baby" I thought it was a perfect show to watch while pushing!!!

At 8 AM, I'm ready to push. So well you know, I push. I had heard such horror stories about how hard it was and everything, but I'll tell you, you don't really think about it. I even asked if it was possible to blow my eyes out, because they make you push for 10 seconds without breathing. And my EYES were what I worried about. I didn't count how many times I pushed with the nurse but I think it was MAYBE 5 or 6, then the Dr. came in. I gave him what good push, then Dylan was out at 8:23 AM. It was the most amazing feeling, seeing Adam see his son enter the world. I would do it over and over again just to see his face.

So there you have it, a quick easy, labor and delivery story. The nurses were amazed that I came in at 8 cm, thinking I was going to get sent home, and they even placed a bet that I would deliver before some other lady who had been induced the day before would. Though I am not sure the outcome of that! Recovery has been great as well. 2 nights in the hospital, both of which we sent Dylan to the nursery. Nursing is going well, every 2-3 hours round the clock! Luckily I have a FANTASTIC husband, who lets me sleep during the day, and has " man time" with Dylan! I think that's everything. Any questions? I'll answer them if I can. I will tell you though, being a Mommy, though I have only done so for 4 days, makes for a hard job, but let me tell you, seeing those eyes look at me when I talk to him, there is nothing in the world like it. Also, watching someone you THOUGHT you loved as much as you could with their child. WOW, makes you fall in love all over again.

Dylan Kyle

Dylan Kyle has arrived!!

December 2, 2009

8:23 AM

6 Lbs. 15 Oz.

19 Inches long!

It was a REALLY fast easy labor and recovery. I'll try to post details sometime soon, but it's a little busy around here!

You would think I'd be used to it by now.

I've never liked Dr's. I really have no reason to have never liked them. I'm a healthy person. I haven't ever even really gone to the Dr. until I got pregnant. I suffer from some serious white coat syndrome. But you would think, with all of the visits I've had since March, that I would be over it. Nope.

Today was my 36 week, yup only four more weeks, checkup. Once again my blood pressure was up. Not really that high, but higher than it usually is. Though, he isn't really worried about it, because I don't have any other signs of a problem. No swelling, no headaches, and overall, I feel fantastic. I've got some energy, and I'm gaining the right amount of weight. So, he'll keep an eye on it and we'll go from there. His advice, do as little as possible, rest, drink water, and put my feet up. I told him, ONLY if he insisted! haha.

Now that you have my medical information ( which I know you wanted) I'll say it again. ONLY FOUR MORE WEEKS.. at most, maybe less. Scary thought. Adam has been on me since Friday to pack our hospital bag, I just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe one of these day's. Other than that, he is still working, though he will be done next Thursday, which is good, because I've made plans for us to go and see New Moon, the Monday after it comes out. Which happens to be the same day as our massages:)

We finished all of our classes, we are now in the know about, Infant CPR and Safety, Baby Care and Breastfeeding ( which I know ALOT of now, a 3.5 hour class will do that to you) We have one last thing at the hospital on the 24th, which is just a car seat check, to make sure we have the base installed correctly. Apparently the area has a 99 % rate of having them in wrong. So it's probably a good idea that we do it, even though it looks REALLY easy. We'll see!

Until next time...

Scary!

As of yesterday, I can officially say, " I'm having a baby next month!" And if that wasn't scary enough, Adam responded with, " Well it could be THIS month RIGHT?" OH GEEZ!!!

It's the tiny things...

I think as a female, I can say, that I have always loved things in " tiny" versions. I always wanted the smallest cell phone, and I just had to have the Ipod Nano when it came out. Puppies and kitties, and well anything in a small version of the big ones that I know. So, there was no surprise when I found it hard to resist buying little bitty baby clothes. I'll be the first to admit, when I found out that Dylan well, was in fact Dylan, I was a little bummed that I wouldn't be able to find very many cute clothes. Well, boy was I wrong. Granted there isn't quite as much variety as girl clothes but there are still some adorable ones. I give you : A Navy Blue Bulldog, Zip up hoodie!!! It's so tiny. And Dylan will be so " Gangsta" in it. ( Though I am not striving to make my child ghetto!)

I only shop sales too. You will not find me buying ANYTHING clothes wise to put on him. Babies grow way to fast, and though I am afraid of the naked baby, I won't, I repeat won't pay full price!

So here are a few of my other finds. Equally as adorable. And yes, many things he has, have animals on them. I seem to buy those, but refuse to buy anything with a sports ball on them, strange!
It has a tiny squirrel on it. He also has a few other onsies, that are " green" one has a little footprint on it and it says " My carbon footprint" Gap, gotta love it!

This is one of his only " outfits" picture him with an orange onsie ( if they make those) under it. To Die for!!!

One last thing that I just can't spend money on ( which is probably a good thing) is baby shoes. I want to buy like every pair that I find, and well have managed to only buy 1 pair. They are for the summer-ish months, because they are a little bigger, but OMG, I want some for myself. Even the soles are adorable, probably because he won't be doing much walking in them!

So, there you have it, a look into my son's closet! lol... I LOVE buying baby things!!!

One of these days I'll post about the fair, but I have to buy a new card reader for my little camera, maybe this weekend!

"Your going to put what in here?"

Dirty diapers, yes that's right. Picking a diaper bag was a much harder decision that I had thought that it would be. Mainly, because I didn't want one that " looked" like a diaper bag. I think I succeeded. Many of you might remember a while back when I was trying to pick one, well I did. But just this last week, I found out that another one of the brands that I LOVE was having their semi annual sale, so I set my alarm to wake up to get first dibs on the good ones! Petunia Picklebottom bags, that's right, crazy name huh? I ended up getting two. A Touring Tote, and a Cross Town clutch ( which I thought was going to be much smaller that it actually is! ) But I love them both, so they were good purchases. All three of them are very different bags. Here are some photo's of them to show you!!!

First up: The Stork Sak, which I assume is the only one that Adam will be caught dead with!:)

This is how it attaches to the stroller. Which is nice, so it doesn't take up storage space underneath! It came with a changing pad, and it has two built in thermal bottle holders, to keep them warm or cold!

Touring Tote:
This one also hooks onto the stroller, but it also has two more straps, a short strap for carrying right underneath my arm, then a longer shoulder strap, so many options. Also has insulated bottle holders. Also came with a black wipes case!:)

See, pretty, but not really Adam's style. It also matches the stroller better!

Cross Town Clutch: Mind you, when I bought this I thought it would be much smaller. Oh well, I still love it!

This is a glazed back, which means that anything that spills on it can be wiped off, just like that!

It came with a Black wipes case, as well as a built in changing pad that pulls out!


Here is the embroidered detail, for some reason it is uploading sideways, even though it isn't sideways in the picture. I'm baffled!




So there you have it. ALL 3 of my diaper bags. Although I haven't used them yet, I highly recommend any of the brands. They are all very well made, and pleasant to look at:) Stay tuned for some adorable baby clothes!

Wait What?

7 WEEKS? Where is time going. That's right, at the very most our sweet little baby boy will be here in 7 weeks! CRAZY! So a lot has gone on since I posted last. Maybe what I should do it bullets, then do small posts to explain? It might help with my rambling! So here it goes!!!


~ Seven weeks until our pending arrival!
~ We went to the Texas State Fair
~ Adam got a short term job
~ I got my ( previously mentioned) Diaper bags in the mail
~ While Adam is at work, I work hard to buy baby things that we " Need"
~ I have been cooking up a storm, for my working husband!

Hopefully since I've told you about thing, it will motivate me to actually post pictures and stories of our adventures!!!

I'm off for a prenatal Massage ( If anyone needs the name of a FANTASTIC massage Therapist in Dallas let me know!) Then, I might stop by Sprinkles and pick up some cupcakes for dessert tonight!:) And maybe an afternoon snack!

I have an addiction...

First off, let me start by saying, that I should seriously consider buying stock in Carter's. I can't think of a time that I have gone in there an not bought Dylan SOMETHING to wear! I think about 95 % of his clothes are Carters!

Second, Diaper bags~ I've never been one to buy a bunch of purses or anything, I'm more of a shoe girl, but I am now addicted to diaper bags. I'm not exactly sure WHY, but I am, I bought two, that's right, two more this morning! So now I have three, and I'm REALLY excited about them.

Finally ~ just shopping in general. Adam and I went shopping for tiny little clothes yesterday, because I have this irrational fear that my child will be going naked for the first 3 months of his life due to lack of appropriate clothing. We were in Gap Baby, looking at long sleeve onesies, and There were three. Sadly that's ALL of them that Gap baby had that weren't pink but that's another post, another day. Well I couldn't decide on one so I said to Adam " Which one do you like better?" His response? " I like them all, lets get them all!" Now how luck am I? I would say pretty lucky. Either that, or Adam doesn't want a naked child either!:)

I'm waiting for Nesting to start, and the urge to buy tiny things to stop... wanna place a bet as to when it will happen?

A True Texan

After living in Texas for almost 5 months, Adam and I finally made ourselves legal today! Got our cars registers, and got new Texas Drivers Licenses. We have had the things to do it ready for probably 2 months now, but lacked the much needed motivation for get ourselves to McKinney to do the cars, then well of course, who wants to sit at the DMV for hours to have a really bad picture of them self taken? Not I! But we lucked out. After driving out into the middle of nowhere McKinney, we found the tax collectors office, and did our cars, which took a mere 20 min tops! Then we were directed to the McKinney DMV. Which was pure heaven. I'm not kidding you when I say we drove up, and there were only THREE, yes you read that right, THREE cars in the parking lot!!! So we were in and out in about 30 min... ( we filled out paperwork we didn't need to;( ) So overall it was successful! Though they didn't give us our PA licenses back, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to be using for a photo ID for the next 6-8 weeks, so lets hope I don't get carded!:/

We stopped at HomeGoods/ TJMAXX on the way home, because I like to look at all things baby there, and I bought Dylan some Christmas socks. There is just something about baby socks that I can't resist. Though I DO NEED more! I only have a few pairs and they are all fancy. Do they make the big bags of white baby socks? I should look into it! Anyway, here is a picture of them, how cute right? And for 5 Bucks. I love Homegoods/TJMAXX!!

The Unfinished Product

Dylan's room is coming right along. We still need some artwork, who knew how hard that would be, window treatments, and well baby things!! Like a changing pad, and cover and some diapers and wipes! So here is it... Enjoy!
View from the bathroom!
Close up of the bedding, that I waited so long for!

So I am 30 weeks this week, time sure is flying by!

Sneak Peak

We've been busy parents to be. Getting a nursery ready is probably the hardest part of being pregnant. We pregnant people have GRAND ideas of what we want it to be, I know I do!!! After I found out we were having a boy, I KNEW I didn't want to do sports, boats, woodland creatures, or anything else that is generally assiciated with " Boys" I wanted something bright, and fun, and pretty gender nuetral... then the hunt for bedding commenced, I finally found it, ordered it, only to find out that it had been discontinued! Sad day, but then I ordered something very similar, same colors and everything. I finally got the bedding last Monday, after probably about 6 weeks!

Well then I thought about paint. I knew I wanted to stripe a wall( based on the bedding), and then paint the other three a solid color. Man, let me tell you, painting stripes is a pain! Here is a sneak peak at the stripes!

(You can see some of our sample swatches there!)

But honestly, I'm not sure which Adam and I disliked more, painting three walls a solid blue, or the stripes!

This is the baby blue that is on the other three walls!

So now we wait for the furniture. Which is being delivered on THURSDAY!!!! YEY!!! Adam and I went to order our crib, dresser, and glider back at the beginning of July, so it's been a long time coming now! We're soo excited!!! I'll post some pictures, once it all comes together on Friday!

Top of the Third... ALREADY???

I can't believe it. I've entered the third and LAST trimester of this pregnancy. That means in a THREE months, we'll have us a brand new baby boy, how exciting:) Man, there is so much that we still need to do, like, ANYTHING in his nursery. I'm, sadly, still waiting on his bedding so we can go and get paint colors picked out. At this rate, we're going to have his furniture before his bedding, which is fine, but I wanted to paint before we got that!!! oh well! I have actually checked off one thing on our list, which is to sign up for classes at the hospital. We are signed up for 3, a Baby care class, which is basically a new parent class, a Infant Safety and CPR class, and a breastfeeding class. I don't know if every hospital is like this, but all of the classes are free of charge which is nice, because there are so many good ones!!! So now all we have to do is go on our tour, which they hold on Mondays with drinks and appetizers... Isn't that cool? Again, maybe every hospital does this but not that I know of! I will leave the baby section with a picture of me from this weekend. Adam was sitting on the couch, that's why I look like I'm looking down!

In other non baby news, WE HAVE A COFFEE TABLE AND END TABLES!!! We picked them up this afternoon, and they look great! Also, I took a hint from Lauren's blog and picked myself up some fall candles. She had made a post about the Leaves Candle, and Adam and I were at the mall and I walked past Bath and Body works, and there it was! Calling my name. EVEN better was that they were on sale. Buy on get one FREE!!! So I got Leaves and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin. THEY ARE AMAZING!!! All this talk of fall got me thinking about Christmas, and how I should start thinking about how I'm going to decorate. Since I know Christmas will be at our house this year, because of Dylan, can't have company without Christmas Decorations!!!

OH AND NOW IT'S RAINING!!! YES!
