24 weeks & 5 days

So I had another appointment today and everything looks good. I have gained a lot of weight since the last time I was there, but she didn't seem to concerned. We both think that the nurse last time wrote my weight down wrong. I am happy that I am finally gaining weight because for the longest time, I wasn't gaining anything.  My stomach is measuring at about 27 so I don't know if that means she will be a big baby or if my weeks are off or what. All I am concerned with is that she is healthy and so am I.

We got all her nursery furniture about a week ago and I am finally starting to paint today. I can't wait to see the finished product. I am hoping  to get all the painting done today so I can start decorating tomorrow or maybe even tonight. I am painting the walls pink all around and then we will probably be adding a chair rail for sure and maybe even some paneling along the bottom.

I am also very excited for my baby shower in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to seeing friends as well as all the amazing things Kelbie will be getting. I have  feeling she is going to be one  very blessed and spoiled little girl. 

Well off to  paint. Pictures to come once I am finished!

And The Winner Is.....

Kelbie's Final Bedding! We have more play room with this one and we both really like the way they did the wall in the picture and  we are thinking of doing the same thing if it isn't to expensive.

Girly Bedding

So I had posted earlier on that we had decided on Kelbie's bedding, but the more I look at it, I am not in love with it. I feel that it is very simple and I can't play around with it much. I have found a few others that I like and I am hoping that James will agree on at least one of them with me so that my mom can purchase it and we can start decorating. I will post pictures of the one we choose later on tonight or tomorrow.

* Side note I am getting my first Prenataul Massage tomorrow and can not wait. Also will be going to get my nails and toes done. Sounds like a pretty good way to spend my day off and I feel I need a little pampering *

Maternity Photos

Okay I know it is still a little early to take maternity pictures, but I am looking for advice on who to use or where to go. I dont want to  wait until I am about to pop to have them done so I was thinking about doing them in August. Suggestions PLEASE!

Reality is sinking in!!!!!

We purchased Kelbie's new crib and changing table last night. Super excited about that. We put the crib up tonight and I love it and can not wait for the changing table to come in.  I am looking forward to painting the room and decorating it all girly (which James is warming up to) and staining the dresser and rocker to match the new stuff.  I have dont pretty well about not buying to much girl stuff on my own but I have made a few purchases of spring/summer clothes she can  wear this time next year.  Today James and I were at Academy and we found the cutest little snowboots for her to wear when we go up to Kansas sometime in December or January.

Now that things are coming together, it  is really starting  to sink in. I have been excited since day one about having a baby and when we find out it was a girl I was even more thrilled, but now as I sit back and things are becoming more really I am starting to get a little nervous.  I have always wanted a girl, but thought I would always have a boy.  Now I am just thinking about how much all this is going to cost in the long run  having a beautiful baby girl.  I remember how I was growing up andI know she will probably be the same way.

James and I both want her to have the  most amazing life she can have but to also remember she can't have everything she wants. I know there are many concerns and thought with have either boy or girl, but I guess now all that stuff is  starting to set in with me, when James has been thinking about it from day one.   I know God has a plan for all of us and he would not have blessed us  with her if she was not part of our plan and  this time in our lives. I know everything is going  to work out, just sometimes real life can be a littel scary.

Only 17 more weeks and Kelbie will be here and I am sure all of our fears will disappear the minute we see her and hold her. I am sure as the time grows closer I will be looking for advice from all of you have little girls so be prepared for many questions to be  posted her.

Well off to relax and  have some Pizza... Yay! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Life & October Babies

Okay so this is my last full week at Little Gym. I am only workingn 2 half days starting next week and as far as not teaching any classes during the summer that really sucks but I am kinda looking forward to having sometime off. Not getting a pay check is  really going to suck, but we will have to make it  work. I am a little sad that I  am pretty much  done working there until after Kelbie is born but there really isn't much I can do about  it.

James is still working and enyoing the AC business. He is hoping to be getting a lot of overtime this summer which will help us out since I was put in my current situation. He has been doing  a lot of jobs for them that he has been doing really well on.

On a side note, everyone that I know that is having a baby in October is having a GIRL. There are five people I know due within weeks or at the sametime as me. I find it very strange that all of us are having GIRLS. Just thought that was something interesting to blog about.

I can't believe it is already June! Hope everyone has a good weekend. Our housewarming party is Saturday so hopefully that will go well and we will have a good group of friends show up.
