Just got inspired...


I keep telling Garret that I want to have a Rocky Fest sometime soon and the other day I said I want to start them while I'm pregnant and then finish them during Carsons first few days of life, so he can be subjected to the important things early on. I have a theory now, I'm going to start watching them asap and maybe they will even induce my labor, lets hope!! If not, I'll be happy anyways because I'll be watching Rocky so its kind of a win win situation. If anyones interested in joining me in this venture, you're more than welcome!

Come on baby, make your arrival!!

Todays my due date and I'm still as preggo as ever... I'm finally ready for him to come and of course now he's going to make me wait! Ugh, having little motivation all a sudden to do anything but have a baby... I don't know how many more nights I can feel like I've been productive and everything is ready for him to come and hope he comes... ha and I've only had 2 nights like that, I'm so impatient! Of course my baby will be late entering the world since I'm late everywhere I go...

Ha way random pic, this is of me on a cruise in 2006, trying to be tough...

Carson's room!

My mom made the quilt. I couldn't find my exact colors in any 1 collection and so I ended up using multiple collections for everything, I love how it worked because its easy to find stuff that matches but in the end, its all more unique!


As promised, here's some pics of his room! There are still a few last minute things I've got to do but you get the idea... :) The drapes aren't up yet so that's why there's no pictures of that wall...


A lady from my work gave me this bassinet, she used it for her grandkids, I just changed out the ribbon...

Me, trying to be all crafty.

The many sides of Garrett doing homework...

Staring at it...
Staring into space...
Sleeping on it...
Here he goes, good work babe! ;)

39 weeks...

Expecting Daddy, isn't he cute?!
Getting fatter and fatter...

I'm ready for him to come, I'm hoping he comes soon (beginning of May would still be great even though its past my due date!). If I'm induced, I still probably have 2 weeks left, seems like forever...

Workin' on the house and babies room...

Me, putting together the baby dresser... I should have made Garrett do that one because it ended up being the hardest thing to put together!

Garrett painting above the stairs...

Brody and Colby have been coming over often with their mom and hanging out, helping sometimes too!

I've been a slave driver to Bon, she's put in many hours here!
Brody was so eager to help paint, thanks buddy!

Baby's a comin'! (I hope!!)

I'm 39 weeks this week and my exact due date is April 29th... Taking bets on when he's coming! We think he'll come late, we always have. What do you think?! (come on, someone give me some hope he's coming sooner rather than later!). Major award to the winner!

Busy, busy and some overall whining! ;)

Like many of you I'm sure, we have been super busy lately. We have been swamped with house projects (they seriously never end!), we spent about 4 or 5 hours in Home Depot last Saturday finally getting a ton of stuff that will keep Garrett super busy... doors, light fixtures, etc. I just wish he had more time, he's barely had time for home work and he was sick yesterday because he's so worn out! I wish I was more help with some of it! I'm just so glad I have such a handyman, if I didn't, all these repairs/updates would get very expensive! I've been doing what I can do: decorating, helping Garrett with bigger stuff, even some craft projects (shhh, don't tell). I had a surge of energy last week and felt motivated to get stuff done (I think I just realized how close it was getting... oh and the fact that Garrett believed me that I said I was going into labor on April Fools scared me a lil...) but this week I've mostly just felt exhausted and we're both sleeping very deep! Which is probably good, since pregnant women aren't known to sleep good this far along and I probably wouldn't if I was going to bed earlier or if I was able to nap or something so I do appreciate that! Other than the extreme pain I get under my ribs (i think its a mixture between ligaments stretching and babys foot in there, it hurts so bad sometimes though!) and it waking me up every night and killing multiple times during the day, and the constant back ache, head aches, inability to move well, siatic nerve (spelling?), exhaustion...I'm doing great! ;) ha ha jk, I really can't complain too much (just a little). Carson's room is getting closer... His crib came in the mail last week, it's still in the box but it's here! Glider came on Monday and his dresser shipped out today (yes, I've become a big fan of online shopping recently, that's what happens when you barely have time to get to the store!). I finally washed some of his clothes, just in case he comes early (he's not though, expect him the first week of May). My mom has a few stripes to finish painting on his wall and Garrett needs to get the chair rail up and then I think things will come along a lot faster and I'll be able to start putting things away and setting up his room. When that time comes, I'll get pictures and post! As ready as I am to be done, it's probably good he's going to be a little late because I'd like to feel a little prepared! Some people don't think it matters probably but I know many do so I'm not abnormal! I'm definitely a planner! As much as I tell myself to not worry about it all and just relax (I tell myself that everyday and it only works if I'm really tired), I still want it all to feel ready so I can relax better at some point... Anyways, that's what we've been up to, not too exciting I guess. Sorry if this was a little whiney, just stating the facts.. ;)
