It's Spring!

Spring is probably my favorite season as it is starting to get warmer, it's flip-flop season, and it's flower season! LOVE IT! Every spring I get so excited about planting flowers in our flower beds out front. I knew if we didn't get them planted this weekend, it may not happen this year with a baby due anytime now. So, on Saturday morning Steve and I headed out to Calloways and picked out some flowers. The ones I wanted were sold out, so I settled for some petunias--Steve's favorite. We spent most of the day Saturday outside planting flowers, mulching, trimming hedges, etc. Yes, I did yard work and am 39 weeks pregnant, but I feel great! Our front yard is ready for the spring!

Build-A-Bear and 39 week update

On Friday, Steve and I went to Build-A-Bear and made Cambry her first stuffed animal. We were wanting one to have to take a monthly growth picture of her with and thought it would be fun and special if we made one for her! We picked out a soft and cuddly rabbit and had a sweet lullaby song put it in one of its paws. We added it's little heart inside it and got it stuffed. We left it pretty basic and are going to let Cambry name it when she gets older. It was really sweet to see how excited Steve was...he is going to be a great Daddy of a little girl!

39 Week Update

On Friday, my doctor's visit was pretty uneventful. I'm still just hanging out as my body is not showing any progress. We went ahead and scheduled an induction date the evening of May 4 if I don't have her before then. I'm definitely ready to have her, but I am actually content right now in waiting as I know that in no more than 8 days we will get to meet her!

Cambry's Room & 38 Weeks!

We finished Cambry's room a little while back but am just now getting around to posting some pictures/collages that Steve took of it. We are really happy with how it turned out and now we are just waiting on our sweet baby girl to decide when she wants to come see it!

This is a shelf that my Grandfather built for my room when I was a little girl. We painted it black and it fit perfectly over her dresser. Also, my dad gave us the "Little Princess" sign for Christmas just after we had found out we were having a girl. It's special to us because he had been calling our baby "Little Princess" ever since we found out we were pregnant because he just "knew" it was going to be a girl. :)


I decided to try and be crafty! I made the lamp shade and the bow holder--both of which I saw on other people's blogs.


I found the sweet wall hanging with that saying on it in Canton. I had seen it each month when my mom & I were there and everytime I would tear up when I read it. When we decided to go with a pink/black theme, I knew I had to get it!


My mom made the cute curtains and we added pink & green ribbon to the top of them. I know you can't see a full shot of them, but she did a wonderful job!

This is this "dollhouse" that my Grandfather built for my sisters and I when we were little. It got passed down from room to room growing up. It was painted like a dollhouse but its meant to be used as storage inside. Our sweet family friend, Jenna, repainted it to go in Cambry's room. We absolutely love it! Thanks, Jenna!

Finally, I had my 38 week appt. yesterday. Surprise, surprise--my body has not done anything, although Cambry did decide to wiggle back down in her "dropped" position. My doctor is still predicting I will make it to 40 weeks or later due to my family history of my mom being late with my sisters and I and how my body is doing nothing yet. We talked about a tenative induction date of May 4 if she hasn't arrived by my due date of April 30! It's wierd to think I could be having her in May when all this time I have had April in my head. We know that God has His perfect timing of her arrival and we are anxious to meet her whenever that may be!

37 week update

Yesterday I had my 37 week appt. Everything is still going smoothly. We are just waiting for my body to progress some. I am not showing any signs of labor any time soon. The last 2 appointments I had the doctor said Cambry had dropped. But, yesterday when I went, she said somehow she has moved up some. She is still head down, but not as low as she was. So, we apparently are still on the 40 week plan, which we are just fine with. We are so thankful Cambry is now full term and whenever she decides to come, we are ready!

On another note, I finished my last day of work yesterday for the rest of the year! YAY!! It was definitely a bitter sweet time as I really have loved my class this year, but I am super excited about having 2-3 weeks to be able to get some final things done around the house, wash Cambry's little clothes, and just rest and relax some. I sure am looking forward to starting my new job as a Mommy!!

Shower Time!

I had 2 more baby showers last week which I am so thankful for! On Wednesday I had my school baby shower. There are actually 3 out of the 6 of us pregnant on my team, so the rest of our team threw a triple baby shower for us. We are all having girls so they went with the theme "1st grade is Wild about Baby Girls!" It was so cute! I didn't have my camera but hopefully I can get some pics soon from a friend.

On Saturday, I had my family & friends shower in Carrollton. Two of our good family friends and three of my close friends/college roommates hosted it. It was decorated just darling in Cambry's nursery colors and had cute little touches of baby girl all around! I was definitely showered with many wonderful gifts for Cambry and shed tears of joy multiple times--surprise, surprise. :) My friends and family are such a sweet blessing! Thank you for such a beautiful shower, ladies!
I forgot to take my camera out again until the end, but here are a few I have.

Shower Hostesses...sorry I was covering you up, Donna!

I love how everyone is in warm clothes b/c it was 35 degrees on March 28! Too bad I only had a spring dress to wear! :)

35 weeks

I can't believe 35 weeks has almost already come and gone! We got to have a sonogram (FINALLY!) on Friday. Apparently, after the 20 week appt, they don't do anymore sonograms unless they are needed due to insurance coverage. But, my doctor said that near the end if there wasn't a need, she would "try to find a need" so that I could get one last peek! So, she said that I could have one and she would say it was to find out if the baby was head up/down, even though she could already tell. YAY! We got to see our precious Cambry and it was so amazing to see how much she had grown and developed since our 20 week appt! She was just beautiful and she had the chubbiest little cheeks that we are looking forward to kissing and squeezing in just a few weeks! They also confirmed for me that indeed she is a girl! WHEW! The sonogram showed that I am still measuring on track and she is estimated to weigh 6 lbs, 1 oz right now! That sounds big to me at this point, but they said she was in the 57th percentile, so I am hoping she won't have a huge growth spurt between now & delievery time. :) We are getting more and more excited each day, if that is even possible! We can't wait to meet our baby girl!!
