Olivia's Room is FINALLY finished

Thank goodness...the upstairs got finished just in the nick of time. We only have a couple of days before Olivia joins are family and her room is complete! It turned out absolutely beautiful...just the way I imagined it - now all we need is for her to get here. Here are a couple of different views of her room. Only 4 more days until we get to meet her!

We are wrapping things up with our upstairs project...just in the nick of time. Mom is getting close to being done with painting olivia's room and I think Chris plans to lay carept this weekend...it turned out very good. (I will post pictures once it is completed).

Isabella is doing grreat. She continues to love the trampoline and has started using her potty chair a little bit. It sings when she goes potty and she thinks that is VERY exciting. I hope she remains interested. She is far from telling us when she has to go, but will attempt if we sit her on it. I guess we will see.

Olivia Update: I went to the doctor yesterday. 1 cm dialted, 25 percent effaced, head down, dropped slightly. She said a lot of times they won't check women who are a scheduled c-section, but I have been having some contractions so they wanted to see where I was. Everything looks good, just waitiing for next Saturday to get here!

Hope everyone is doing great and has a great weekend!

Two Weeks from Today

Two weeks from today, we will finally get to meet Olivia!! I am now seeing my doctor every week and anxiously awaiting her arrival. I just can't wait to meet her. I feel really good overall...tired, feet a little puffy and not sleeping the best, but overall good.

The upstairs is coming along nicely. I think it will be done just in time for Olivia. Adam plans to begin painting today. I think the next steps are bathroom flooring, bathroom fixtures, finishing up electricity, carpet and closet organization. Think we can get all that done?!? I am trying to be optimistic.

We will keep you posted as things progress - both with Olivia and the upstairs.

Happy Memorial Day!!

Sunday Fun-Day

Sunday Fun-Day took on a whole new meaning once we had Isabella. Pre-kids it was about enjoying the day with friends and having a few cocktails...now it is all about finding fun things do with Bella! This Sunday we had a jam packed day. We went to Eckert's to enjoy pony rides, airplane rides and riding the big camel for the first time. We weren't there long, but had a fun time. Bella really wanted to go on the big swings, but I didn't think that would be a good option considering I would have to ride it with her, probably not advisable by my doctor. Later in the day we went to a bridal shower, played at uncle Chris's new house and then we put together a trampoline. WOW...did she have fun. She really enjoyed playing ring around the rosey on it. Falling down is pretty fun on a trampoline. Dad even took a break from the upstairs to hang out for a bit.

Daddy's Pride & Joy

Not only does Isabella look JUST like Adam, she enjoys doing the same things as him too! Tonight Adam rotated the tires on his car and Bella was right beside him to give him a helping hand. She did very well at putting the lug nuts on the wheels so Adam could tighten them...what a good little helper!!!

Zoo Fun

Yesterday, Adam, mom and I took Bella to the zoo - what a great way to celebrate a beautiful March day! It was packed, I guess alot of people had the same idea:) We made it to most of the animals that we talk about all the time and she loved them all except the Gorillas, she was terrified!! Screaming, tears...we had it all over those gorillas! Adam is now gone for the week so we are trying to stay busy and not think about him being gone! Hope everyone has a great week too!

June 5th is the Date

I went for my 28 week check up yesterday - regular appointment, but I did get to schedule my C-Section. We will finally get to meet Olivia Reese on June 5th, assuming she doesn't come early! It's kind of nice to have a date, but 11 weeks still seems sooo far away!!!
