Today is the last day to get your free photo book from Picaboo. Use the code FREEBK to save $40.The code expires tomorrow.  I even sent a picture of mine into the lady who I heard about this from and she put it on her blog HERE.

I really like mine.

And here are a couple of cute E pictures!

“I like bath time with Daddy and my ducky towel!”

Snuggles!

Well the exciting day came last Thursday when our new sweet little girl made her appearance!
Here are a few pictures to whet your appetite. Maybe I can blog again soon, but you never really know when you will get the chance around here!

Our first picture as a family of three!

“Whew! Glad she is finally here!”

“Wow! She is beautiful!”

The proud papa! #1 Dad indeed!!

Getting a record of her (big) footprints!

Daddy thinks Baby Girl is pretty great!

“A little bruise on the eye from my journey, and lots of hair, and I am happy to be here with my family!”

Well the interesting thing about being 9 months pregnant is that you can’t really shop for much! You don’t want to buy more maternity clothes, but clearly you don’t fit into your old size, and have no idea when, if ever, you will again. And shoes don’t fit either because your feet are either swollen or have gotten bigger, or both! So you can’t even shoe shop really! So today as I was bored sitting around waiting on baby girl to start the process of showing up, I remembered how I had seen this website where you basically make an outfit board. (Like the mood boards for rooms on the Young House Love blog, for any of you who read that) The site is called Polyvore and you kinda shop and group items together. Here is my first one, and I think it is all super cute! I am really glad ruffles are so in fashion right now, I am a big fan! So go make yourself an outfit and post it and leave me a comment. I want to see what you pick out! (You can sort by price too, so this stuff all ended up being within a reasonable price.) You can click the picture to go to the site and see what items I put in and how much they cost. And then you can make your own!

What have I been working on the past 24 hours….a photo book! (I stayed up until 2 am doing this! And since I woke up at 10 I have been working on it some more! It is super fun!)

I don’t know about you but I don’t print many pictures since they are digital. I found this blog called Moms By Heart and she blogged about a deal where you get a free photo book from Picaboo. It is an 8 1/2 x 11 sized book with 20 pages free, which normally costs $39.99.  So I am in the process of making one, instead of printing off pictures and putting them in a photo album. It comes out looking kinda like digital scrapbooking but I don’t know how to do that.Go make one, or two!

Here is her post telling about it

I am 39 weeks pregnant. Get out of town. That is so crazy!

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and…well…there hadn’t been any change since last Tuesday. So she was like “You might have another week or so. Looks like you might make it to your due date after all. That’s just my best guess.” Augggggghhhhhh!!!! So I have decided that doctors have no real idea when you are going to go into labor. It is all just a big guessing game.

So yesterday I walked around the mall for like 3 hours. Today I walked around a different mall for a couple of hours and then had Taco Bell for dinner. (That is what put my mom into labor with me!) I guess being disappointed at a lack of progress made me realize that I am actually ready for her to be here.

If she is born next Monday, her birthday will be 8.9.10. That would be pretty cool.

So since there is no baby news to report, here are some nursery pictures.

The crib is mine from when I was little. Cliff’s mom painted the painting.

My mom made the two quilts. You can see the various sheets and recieving blankets that match.

Here is the changing area with lots of fun books on the shelf. There is a little diaper caddy thingy on the side and and  ultrasound picture in the frame.

I am really happy with how it all came together. Now to just put her in it!

(p.s.- Would you pray that C gets to feeling better before I go into labor? He has a sore throat right now and feels yucky and I don’t think it would be good if he felt that way when it was time to go to the hospital!)

Well today is the first predicted day for me to have a baby, and it is 9:47 pm and I have made it through the wedding I wanted to attend without going into labor, so I don’t think it will be today. (Sorry Desi and Issac!)

Here are a few pictures from lately!

37 weeks

38 weeks (wow, it is sticking out there!)

38 weeks (and all dressed up for a wedding!)

Here I am with my sweet hubby!

And here is the “freshman four” as we were called at Columbus. Bryan’s wedding was very nice and it was good to see friends and catch up!

You know I like me some free stuff. (See previous Chick fil A post) so here are some opportunities to snag some free muchies over the next few days! Act quickly!!!

It is also National Lasagne Day at Buca di Beppo (there is one in the Woodlands and also some in Dallas and Austin) (so that makes me think the two companies are related) and you get a free lasagna there when you order another entree.
