5 More Weeks

Yesterday marked my 5 week mark until the baby is born. Our c-section is scheduled for May 4th (I will be 39 weeks). My mom is a little nervous because she is leaving for Florida this Friday with my sister's family for Spring Break. I promised her that I would take it easy and drink plenty of water.

Tomorrow I will be 34 weeks. This is a milestone for me because at 33 weeks I was put on bed rest with Hayden. I am thankful that this pregnancy has been different in that I do not have the swelling like I did with Hayden.

I am counting the days until May 4th. I am so ready for this little guy to be born.

Big Boy Beds

With a new baby coming we thought it would make more sense to just order Hayden a new bedroom suit instead of ordering a new nursery set for the baby. We ordered these full size bunk beds sight unseen, and we are extremely pleased with the quality.

The only set back we had was once they arrived two weeks ago, only one set of bed rails arrived with the beds. We had to wait another week to get the extra rails in. During this time, Trever put together one bed to get Hayden use to sleeping in a "big boy bed." Knock on wood, he has been doing extremely well. He doesn't get up of the nights and when he does get up in the mornings he plays in his room.

" Look Mom I can touch the ceiling."

Hard Economic Times

During these hard economic times Hayden made his own chair and ottoman. We laughed so hard when he went to get his stool to prop up his feet. He makes me laugh every day. Oh the life of a 2 year old.

7 More Weeks

Yesterday I had my 32 week check-up with the OB. We are still scheduled for May 4th at 12:00 p.m. for the c-section. I will be 39 weeks then. Everything is going well. We had an ultrasound yesterday and the baby weighs about 4 lbs 3 oz. I have some slight swelling, but nothing like I had with Hayden. Reaching 33 weeks will be a milestone for me. At 33 weeks with Hayden, I was put on bed rest. I am trying my hardest not to let that happen. Right now things are going well. I have trouble sleeping, but who doesn't when you are 8 months pregnant. My lower back gets to me every now and then so I have to remind myself to rest more. Thanks for all of your warm thoughts. We cannot wait to meet this little guy.

St. Patrick's Day

Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day and Hayden and I celebrated by enjoying the beautiful weather. We couldn't have asked for a better day.

Beautiful sunrise to start our day.

Kiss Me! I'm Irish.

Enjoying a bike ride.

Decorating our sidewalk.

Blowing bubbles at mommy.

Scooby Doo Where Are You?

Today we took a quick trip to the mall and what would we see, but the Mystery Machine. Hayden has a toy "Scooby Doo Bus" but seeing the "real" thing was very exciting for him. I would like to see the person who actually owns this van.

Disney on Ice

Today I took Hayden to see Disney on Ice. I was a little nervous about taking him since he is only 2, but he truly enjoyed himself. I went with some of my friends and their boys as well as my sister and my niece, Reagan. It was truly a day that I will never forget with Hayden.

Our little gang of misfits. They all enjoyed themselves. One little guy didn't want to be in the picture, but he had a great time as well.

Finding Nemo - Marlin, Dori, and Bruce.

I thought the shark would scare Hayden, but he loves the show Finding Nemo. The only thing that scared him was the whale from Pinocchio.

The army men from Hayden's favorite cartoon, Toy Story. When they were marching he stood up and marched with them. It was so cute.

His face just lit up when he saw Buzz Lightyear and Woody.

Just in awe of Buzz Lightyear and Woody.

The ending had all of the characters come out and wave to everyone. Hayden stood up and was clapping and waving to all of them.
