35 Weeks Along

We are down to the final weeks. My bag is all packed and we just have the waiting game. Last night we went and had maternity photos taken. We went to Life's Little Celebrations. Robyn was just awesome! She took some wonderful photos of Aaron and I. I can't wait to see the finish product, Robyn will post them on facebook so we will let everyone know. Robyn's website is: http://www.lifeslittlecelebrations.net. Other than that not a whole lot going on.

Tuesday is our two year anniversary. We have decided to keep it low key and just spend some quiet time together at home this weekend. We know that quiet time will be hard to come by in a few more weeks. Looks like brunch tomorrow, which is my favorite Sunday activity, will round out the weekend.

Food I can't wait to eat again

I have been making a list of all the foods I can't wait to eat again. I thought I would share a few of them:

Jimmy John's #5 Vito
Hot dog with mustard and an inch of relish
Sushi including tuna, avocado roll and the pretty Polly
Oysters on the half shell
Brie and Fig Jelly
Mojto
Cosmo
Diet Dr. Pepper
White chocolate mocha with an extra shot
sugar free Red Bull
Whiskey ( the good stuff from the Arms)
A rare steak.......
Now I'm hungry. Well, only 9 weeks to go...

10 Weeks to go

I'm at 30 weeks and time is flying. It seems like yesterday I was ten weeks along. The doctor said that everything was prefect on our last visit. His little heartbeat is strong and me makes his presence known with very strong little kicks. We have most everything done thank goodness. Now it's just waiting for the little guy to arrive. We have brought Pooh Do home with us. Pooh Do is the much loved stuff dog that Aaron had when he was little. He does need a bath before baby G gets a hold of him.
Aaron and I also have some things planned to do before we have to find a babysitter. This weekend we are going to Momo's and a Cards game. Our anniversary is September 22 and that may be the last getaway we have before Baby G arrives. That is if I'm in any condition to get anyplace.

Baby room!

We finally finished getting the baby room ready. A couple of weeks ago, Amber spent the weekend with her parents so I could paint. I tried Valspar paint this time, which turned out really well with just a primer coat and one finish coat. Amber picked out the bedding first and then we matched the paint color to the bedding. By shear coincidence, the blue color is Gulf Oil Blue, my favorite racing car colors! One thing missing from the room is a Gulf Oil Aston Martin model, but I'll get that soon.

It feels good to have the room finished. Now all we have to do is wash all of his little clothes and wait for him to arrive!

Practice makes perfect

This weekend we had lots of practice for baby G's arrival. Saturday we went to see our friends Dave and Jen and their two beautiful boys Shane and Ian. Aaron got some practice feeding Shane and helping Ian put together a lego kit we got him. On Sunday we went with my parents, Crystal and our friend Sam's little guy Jackson to the zoo. He took right to Aaron and we had a great time showing him all the animals at the zoo. He was so into it, with big eyes pointing at everything. Jack was such a good boy today I wanted to keep him awhile longer.

looking forward

Know that I know how to do this Blogging thing I kinda like it. September 18th I'm getting maternity pictures taken. I'm really excited and looking forward to having some really beautiful photos to document baby G's travels into our lives. The best part is the week after baby G is born she comes over and does a whole infant/ family session. I can't wait. I know it's a splurge but well worth it! The place is called Life's Little Celebrations and this is the website if you want to check it out. www.lifeslittlecelebrations.net
Next week I have my first baby shower!! I'm really super excited about that. All these things make me realize that a baby is coming soon! Poor Speck was laying on my tummy this morning and Baby G kicked and it almost knocked her off..haha.

28 Weeks and counting

Time is flying and Aaron and I have been working hard to get things done before baby G arrives. Saturday we went to an all day birthing class. We had a great instructor and left with lots of great infromation. The one thing we have decided is that we will not call Aaron my birth coach. We both hate saying that. I have been thinking we will call him the team principal. He will be in charge for getting me to pit stops and keeping time looking for the lastest lap (contraction). We can get him some blue glasses and call him Falvio. haha.
Aaron has been working really hard to get the room done. It's so cute! I will post some photos soon. I have been washing all his little clothes getting them ready andI love the smell of dreft i've been using. 12 more weeks and We know they will fly by.
