It’s beginning to look a lot like a Nursery!!

Mom and I went shopping in the Woodlands last weekend trying to find decoration for the Baby Room but didn't find to much. We did find the matching Mobile to our bedding at Pottery Barn and some curtains at Bed, Bath and Beyond! The curtains we really liked though were just a little too pricey at Pottery Barn; $180 total!!! Also, they didn’t have the right length for our window which we are kind of glad because that is a lot of money for curtains!! We ended up going with some solid pink one’s from Bed, Bath and Beyond for only $40 and they look great in the Nursery!! We also got the changing table in and Jeffrey put that together last weekend. Below are some pictures!! Now we just need to find some decorations for the wall!





Here is the pillow with the curtains and paint which all match really well!


The Mobile

French Doors

I have been saying I would love to have some French Doors where our Study/Formal Dining room is instead of a baby gate and Jeffrey suprised me and went and bought some. He is not done installing them yet but here is the progress so far!! I forgot to take the before picture though. So excited to have them done!

27 week Check Up

I passed my Glucose testing!! The score was 112…not sure how it is measured but we passed! We got to hear her heartbeat today and it was strong and so neat to hear! I wonder when and if I will get to do another ultrasound because I really want to see her! I go back now in three weeks so the appointments are getting closer together and soon will be weekly! We are getting so close to meeting our precious Angel!

Jeffrey said he is really proud of me because I had to get the shot today and I didn’t even cry!!! I have to say I am proud of myself too!! I told the Nurse not to take it personal if I start crying and don’t make eye contact with her once she goes to get the needle because I always cry when I have to get a shot. Her response was “We will go easy on you then.” This kind of makes me nervous because were you going to be rough otherwise?! Once she has the shot ready she told me to stand up because they have to give it to me in my hip…I have never had a shot in my hip and that seems like such a vulnerable place! Jeffrey said the needle was as long as his pinky finger…I don’t know if he was saying this to make me feel brave since I didn’t cry but I did feel it!!! Especially afterwards, it has been a little tender all day and burns! The Nurse said that is because they have to keep the shot cold. I am so glad that is over with!!

Taylor Nicole

It’s official!! We are going with the name “Taylor Nicole”! Jeffrey and I decided that is a name we both really like and can see using it when we are Happy with her, calling her name, and when she does something bad, etc. =) Pretty soon we will have a Taylor and a Titan (our dog) running around the house!

Last Friday I went and did the Glucose testing and was really nervous because everyone I talked to always said how bad it was or “O’ just wait until you have to do that” and it wasn’t bad at all! They gave me the Fruit Punch taste and it tasted like the old Hi-C or Hawaiian Punch juice box’s we would drink as kids. The only bad part was waiting in the waiting room for two and a half hours but it actually went by fast. I should get the results tomorrow at my Doctor’s appointment so fingers crossed. Tomorrow is also the day I have to get the shot. I still get so nervous around needles and always feel the need to cry when the Doctor mentions anything about getting a shot so prayers that tomorrow goes well and everything is healthy!

Jeffrey and I are really excited about the upcoming Baby Showers!! Our Neighbors are throwing us a Couple’s Shower on Sat. Aug. 7th and Kacee is throwing us another one on Sat. Aug. 28th in Old Town Spring! We are so excited about both of them and so appreciative of everyone who is pitching in to make it happen!! We are truly blessed and have so many things to be Thankful for!

25 Weeks= 3rd Trimester!

I can’t believe I am already in my third trimester!! What an exciting time this has been!! We have hit so many milestones and it has been such a wonderful experience learning about all her developments!

I just bought my first pair of maternity pants last week and boy are they comfortable!! I still really enjoy my milkdud’s as well as some gummy bears! =) I don’t crave meat like I did before the pregnancy but Jeffrey still does =) He will cook a steak for himself and I am content with spaghetti-O’s! We (Baby and I) really enjoy a bagel on Sat. mornings if we make it to the back of Kingwood and can’t miss our after work bowl of Trix! We love homemade cupcakes made by Kathy and Sarah! They are so good!!! I am not as tired as I was all the time at the beginning of my second trimester but I do like taking naps on the weekends and sometimes after work! We got to register this trimester and had so much fun doing that! There is so much cute stuff out there for babies! We did put together her crib this past weekend so the room is starting to come together!! She is moving all the time now but still gets shy when someone tries to feel her kicking. Jeffrey did get to feel her kick last Sat. and he was so excited!

We are looking forward to the rest of the pregnancy and can’t wait to meet her around Oct. 19th! We love you Baby!!

The Crib

The crib is in and Jeffrey put it together!! We really love it and below are some pics!
