Ready When you Are!

I realized the other day how bummed I'm going to be that I'm not keeping up on my journal for Tate, I have always had good intentions with it but my feelings have always been the same..I've just been happy from day one of finding out that there was a little baby going to come into our lives.

Now...We are down to exactly a month before he is scheduled to get here, but let me be the first to say that when he's ready I'm ready..

Brandon even finished up the room, he put wainscoating up and re painted all by himself and I was really proud of him and the amazing job that he did! It looks better than I even expected and I hope he's happy with it too:)

We're looking forward to putting up the finishing touches but the main things are finished..So Tate, you can just be here as soon as you wanna be here! We cannot wait to meet you.

I had my shower a week ago, and I was so surprised with the turn out! It was great to see everyone and to see all of the cute stuff everyone picked out for our baby!
We are pretty much set on clothing and we have so many extra little things that I cannot wait to use once Tate is here. I am having so much fun just thinking about it and getting everything ready!

I am in love with how this turned out! Thank you babe for working so hard on it, even when you were completely exhausted!






He is one spoiled child already! I think it might be safe to say he has a larger, and not to mention better wardrobe than his mommy!



By the looks of this Watermelon in my tummy I would say your about ready lil boy!!

Baby Baby Baby!

I knew it had been a long time since I last wrote on here...or wrote anything that didn't have something to do with Anatomy! But I think it took Brandon realizing that I've been slacking to finally convince me to change that..

I'm almost done with my Anatomy Class that will be a huge relief and honestly anytime after 10:30 (July 22) I am ready for my baby to be here! I really can't wait..But before then, We have a nursery to finish...The walls went from baby blue to beige [we like to make things hard on ourselves], I guess I should say Brandon has a nursery to finish! He's putting up wainscoating! and we finally got the bedding! I havent been much help with the room but that is proably a good thing, Things will look much better that way!! Other than that..I have my baby shower this Thursday! I'm anxious to see all of the cute things everyone picked out for Tate and I know it will get me even more excited to be a mom!

And possibly the fact that the picture in the post below might leave a few of you in shock when you next see me, I no longer have that tiny belly, it really does grow bigger by the day! But I guess I should have known that before now! Not only is my tummy bigger but I seem to have hmmm....blown up this last week! Literally my feet and ankles and legs look like balloons, probably the most unattractive thing I've ever seen in my life but I've managed to just laugh it off most days! And Brandon gets some good laughs in every now and then too! If you see me..and my ankles are exposed, please remind me to wear jeans:) Sometimes I forget with this 115 degree weather and can't help it! I even had my nephew run up to me at dinner the other night asking if my feet were still fat, That's when you know it's gone a little too far at least he wasn't telling me something I didn't already know. Just a little over a month more of this..

Honestly typing that last sentence made me a little sad..I love the idea of meeting my baby boy but theres already days I don't feel him wiggling around in my stomach for a few hours and I already miss him at that point, I might just miss these side aches, sleepless night and karate kicks to my ribs pretty soon here. I know men have no idea what it's like to be pregnant and some may say that they are lucky but to me every little bit of it has been so worth it and even exciting. I think a smile comes to my face everytime I feel his little arm or foot against my stomach, Ya....I will miss it..There's nothing like this, absolutely no comparison. [28 weeks]
