Shower Pictures

Here are a couple pictures of the shower. We are working on getting the changing table put together. It is much more of a job than I think Brian thought it would be! Today is day two of putting it together. Brian got the bottom part done last night, tonight is the hutch part! Anyway, hope everyone is well! Talk to you later :) Leslie :)

wow!

34 weeks! After today the doctor will let me go into labor! The babies could be here any time! How exciting! We get to pick up our changing table today! Yaa! I'm really excited. Once we get that in their room is done! I'm starting to feel more confident that we are ready for these little babies. I'd still like to keep them in for a couple more weeks just to give them a little more time to bake! :) We do still need to get their bed finished. We will have to build a piece to fit the hole where the two cribs come together that the regular mattresses don't reach. But I have faith it will all come together! They will probably stay in our room for a little while anyway. Just so they are at easy reach for feeding.

Man, I'm sleepy! I was up to late last night watching the MU game... It was a good one! I took a little nap after work, But the Brian got out of the shower and thought I was awake and started talking and woke me up. Ok, then I went back to sleep and Plato came in and had the carpet cleaner and him clanking that thing around woke me up. So after that I gave up on my nap. it was nice while it lasted! It's Friday, other than clean a little I don't plan on doing much of anything! So maybe I can catch up on some much needed sleep. I doubt it! I'll probably wake up and not be able to force myself to go back to sleep.

Anyway, that's all that's going on now. I do still plan on posting shower pictures... Maybe someday! :)
Have a great day!
Leslie :)

ugh!

Sooo Tired! I think if I were in bed right now I could sleep for days! Probably not since I don't sleep more than a couple hours at a time as it is but dang it I'd love to try!

My shoes are really really tight today... I'm swelling up pretty good. But it is Wednesday... After today two more days and it's the weekend! Yaa Relax time!

We did order the changing table last night! Should be here Friday after 4:30! So once we get that and get it put together their room is officially ready for them! :)

3 days! Counting today and then they could be here any time! Anyway, my lunch hour is over. I might get pictures up tonight who knows! :)
Have a great day, Leslie :)

Baby Update!

We had another Appointment today. It went well, the babies are growing right on track! Cady is 4 pounds 11 oz and Brian is 4 pounds 7 oz. As of today we have 4 days until they will let me go if I go into labor. I still think I have a couple more weeks in me... I hope! They don't want to move as much as before. I think it is just because they really are out of room! I have 9 pounds of baby in me!
Other than the appointment, I think we have been everywhere looking for a changing table that will fit our needs. I want something with doors and storage. You wouldn't think that would be so much to ask for! Wrong! Brian found one online that we both like, but it costs more than I really wanted to spend. But I think we will probably just break down and spend the extra money and get what we want.
There really isn't much going on. I'm not in school right now so I don't have that taking up my time. Mom came up last weekend and we organized my kitchen and it is amazing! We have a whole cabinet cleaned out for bottles, baby food, and what ever else baby we need in the kitchen! All i have to do now is clean the floor in there and it is done. There is random baby stuff through out the living room. I just don't know where to put some of it!
Anyway, that's really all that's going on. My goal is to get some of the shower pictures up either tonight or tomorrow maybe. But there are no promises! :) Hope everyone is doing well! Have a great night :) Leslie (:

The Crib is here!!!!

So the crib is huge! But it isn't really any bigger than two cribs would be... Our room is quite a bit smaller than the one it is in at the grandparents' house... But it is beautiful! I'm so excited! That's our first piece of actual baby furniture! Although Brian's rocking chair isn't going to fit in there... But still it is amazing!

Grandpa J. Posing with his amazing creation!

The proud daddy putting the crib together!

Almost all together!

Done! Isn't it amazingly Beautiful!

Diaper cake. Isn't it sooo stinking cute! This is from Tess, Marty, and Ava. Brian's Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin in San Diego.

These are hooded bath towels. From My aunt Joan, Jenny, Sarah, Erin, Beth

A blanket my mom made

This one is of my nephew Chase's present to me. He drew a picture and then wrapped it all by himself. He was so proud! To cute!

The cake made by my cousin Beth

soo tired!

Complaint:
I don't know what the deal is. I have never had a problem sleeping! It isn't that I'm uncomfortable, I mean yeah at times I am when I'm in bed but most of the time I can find my comfy spot. But I just lay there with my eyes closed wanting to sleep so bad! Brian has no problem sleeping why do I!?!?! Gosh!
Anyway, enough complaining, I'll sleep soon enough maybe...

Shower:
We had our first shower this weekend at my mom and dad's house. It was quite successful! We got a lot of great stuff! My cousin Nicole brought all her bottles and a bunch of random baby stuff. Lets just say I'm set on bottles! She also gave me her breast pump. Just gave it to me! I will be forever in debt to her! Holy cow!

Babies room:
We have got everything done in the babies room but the yellow polka dots. Just a couple more touch ups on them and we are good to go! We are going to work this week and get everything out of that room that doesn't need to be there. I might work on the dots I might just wait for Sonya to do it because she is much more crafty than I am. I think when it comes to touching up polka dots, it really helps if you can actually draw a decent looking circle... Just my thought though. :)
We went around this weekend looking for something to use as a changing table/dresser but didn't find anything! I'm really disappointed! We need something for a little extra storage in there. To store diapers and wipes and all that sort of stuff. K-mart and Target had this one really pretty table, it had a couple drawers and and then a door on it but it was almost $300! I don't want to spend that much! Guess we will do without! I'll figure something out, I hope!

Babies:
We have this week and next and then we are technically to the point where they won't stop me if I go into labor! How crazy is that?! I'm feeling pretty good... Other than my legs get tired really fast. I think I still have a good 4 weeks left. But lots can change over night I have found out! I'm still going for the 36 weeks though. I think we can make it to at least 36 weeks.

Well I have already said more than I had planned on! I'll hopefully get the pictures from the shower and maybe some of the room tonight. Hope everyone is well, Have a good day, Leslie :)

Not much

So not much is going on. Went to the doctor again yesterday. Babies got 2s on the biophysical profile (highest they could get) They are still growing. Other than my ribs are killing me from coughing so hard and so much things are going pretty good. We have our first shower this weekend. I'm pretty excited about it! Sunday Sonya is coming over and we are finishing the touch ups on the babies' room and then it's done! All it needs is the stuff to put in it! I'll post pics of the shower and the finished product as soon as I can! Hope everyone is doing well! Talk to ya later :) Leslie

So I didn't get to take off on Wednesday like I had planned. And I was sick throwing up on Thursday, so i was home sick and didn't do much of anything, then Friday I took off 1/2 day and got all the polka dots on the wall! I just have a little touching up to do and their room is done! YaY! Then Saturday I got sick again and I have been fighting that ever since! Man it is a killer! I think I either broke or pulled a rib from coughing so hard. It is miserable! And the worst part is you can't take anything! We have another appointment tomorrow I thought I'd talk to them and see if there is any prescription antibiotic that I can take, before I waste the money going to the doctor and they give me something that Dr. Stephens doesn't want me to take. We have made it this far without much of a problem I don't want to start anything up now!
We are in week 32 of the pregnancy now, Hard to believe that in two weeks if I go into labor they won't stop it. Our babies could be here in two weeks! Wow! I'm still going for 36 weeks though!
Our last appointment went pretty well for the most part. The ultrasound went well. Catie was 3 pounds 9 oz and Brian was 3 pounds 7 oz. And got 2s on the biophysical profile. Mom got to go to that one and she was way excited about it. I'm glad she got to go to one. I knew she really wanted to go. Jes is going with us tomorrow.
I did think I was going to pass out during the monitoring though... I guess you could call it a hot flash... The only way I could describe it was, it was like the feeling of the one time I almost passed out giving blood. This instant rush of heat starting at the tip of your head rushing to your toes. It was bad, I couldn't decide if I wanted to throw up or pass out. I hope I don't do that again tomorrow...
Anyway other than working on the finishing touches on the babies room and I have got to clean my house It is the worst I have ever seen it! Just gross! Seriously. But I have been sick and being pregnant makes you tired! Saturday I have my first baby shower. I hope I'm feeling better than I do right now! Maybe Sunday I can bribe my mom into coming up and helping me clean... I don't know what I'll bribe her with. But I'll think of something... Anyway that's pretty much all for now. I'll hopefully find time to post about the appointment tomorrow!
Hope everyone is well have a good night! Leslie :)

not much...

Work: Boring

House: So close to being done I can taste it, just not done!

School: Last week for a while! Ya! I can't wait to not have homework to do! I don't know what I'm going to do with myself!

Babies: Moving like crazy! They just need to stay in there a little while longer! I'm shooting for 36 weeks! We have another appointment on Wednesday, we get to see how big they are! We are pretty excited about that.

Randomness: I think I'm just going to take Wednesday off. We are quickly running out of time to get stuff done! I can clean a little, finish the polka dots and we can hopefully get the trim done down stairs!

Anyway, That's all for now. Have a great day!
Leslie :o)
