It's Almost Baby Time

Ok...so I am 39 weeks pregnant, and I am still not dilated (except maybe 1 cm), and my Dr. does not think that I will go into labor any day soon. So, I was upset when she told me that, however we all know that babies will decide on their own and of course it will happen in God's timing. However, my Dr. will not let me go past 41 weeks....SO I am scheduled to be induced on Thursday, September 4, if the baby does not come on her own before then. We are REALLY excited and can't believe that she will be here in less than a week. I am going to be a MOM!! It is all so exciting and surreal. Anyway, so just keep us in your prayers this week, and if you don't hear from us before, then we will for sure have a baby on Thursday! God bless!

Preparing for Lauralyn Rose

Lately, I have been going through the nesting phase of pregnancy, and it has been so fun. All I want to do is go into that little nursery and re-organize her onesies and clothes and just look at them thinking that very soon my child will wear them! It is just so hard to imagine right now.

A couple weeks ago, when the nesting was really setting in, Adrian and I decided to put the crib, dresser, and hutch together and set it all up. We had SO much fun building it all. At first, Adrian pretended like he didn't need or want my help, but he totally did. Before long, we were laughing and having a blast. So over the course of two evenings, we got it all put together and I am so excited. I just can't believe it. Here are a few pictures of the process.

This is Adrian working on the dresser

This is the dresser (without the hutch part built)

Here is the complete dresser and hutch...I love it!

Starting on the crib (this was the easiest)

The finished crib....YAY!

So those are some pictures of the baby room. We have finished setting it up, but I need to take more pictures of it and post them. Oh, well here is a picture of the cradle that we have in the living room at the moment. This was built by my great great (and so on) grandfather and has been used for many years now (my mom was even rocked in it as a baby). I love it.

Ok, now I will share just one more picture. This is the door to the nursery. The frame has her name in it, and my Aunt Laura made it for the family shower that she hosted, and I love it so much so I decided to nail some matching ribbon to it and make it into a door hanger to the nursery.

Lauralyn, we are ready for you and SO anxious to meet you.

Love,

Dad and Mom

My First Blog

Ok....I finally gave in and decided to start up a blog. Well, I am 37 weeks pregnant and can't believe that I will be holding my little Lauralyn in 3 short weeks. I can't wait to meet her and sing to her. I have been practicing my song to her now for a long time...hehe. Actually, she has probably already heard it several times considering she is apart of me at the moment.

Well, I am just figuring this whole blog thing out, so I will learn how to post pictures and all the other fancy stuff. Hopefully this will work out and I will be able to keep my blog current. We shall see!
