32 Weeks

Hi everyone!! We've passed yet another week... Here's what "we" look like today:

From the front:


From the side:

And in this one, I was looking down at Nash, but it looks like I'm looking at my belly:


Other than taking pictures, Bryan and I have been working hard this weekend. We got the house clean. Bryan got the sprinkler system up and running. Now we just have to get it programed. The laundry is done. Now, we are heading to our friends (Mike & Breezy)'s house for dinner...

Talk to everyone later!

Love you guys!! :)

THE HIGH CHAIR!!!

The high chair came this afternoon!! We learned, after assembling it, that if we take the tray off, it will slide right under the edge of our table... just like a normal chair!!! That'll make it SUPER easy to get it "out of the way" when we need to!! How exciting?!?! Doesn't it look great?!?!


Thanks, again, Grandmom and Grandpop!! We LOVE it!! :)

The Dresser's Here!

Yep!! The dresser got here today!! Check it out:


Bryan's parents made this purchase for us (or really, for Maddy)... The drawer on the top, right-hand side can be removed, and we can attach legs (sold separately) to make it a nightstand... to use later in life. Until then, the way it is set up now, it is intended to be used as a changing table. All we need to do now is get a changing pad to put on the top left-hand side. Then it is a combo dresser/changing table!! It's GREAT!! WE LOVE IT!!





Here it is with the crib:

















Doesn't it look GREAT!! We think that Maddy will LOVE it!!

Just thought I'd update everyone!

Love you guys!

Week 31 Pictures

Hi Everyone! Friday marked 30 of 40 weeks. That means that we are 3/4 or 75% of the way to Maddy's due date!! Scary, huh?!?! She'll be here before we know it!! Here are today's pictures of us:









**Please note that my belly button is still an "innie"... This could change soon for us!!





















And, no, the pants and shirt definitely DO NOT meet anymore!! Oh well... I suppose that's just part of it!! :)









Our only "adventure" today was taking Nash to Petsmart. He did fairly well. The last couple of times we've taken him, he didn't exactly "make his momma proud". As hard as it may be to believe, he's actually mellowing out a little. Bryan and I were thoroughly impressed with his behavior last night when we had company. There was a 4 year old little girl here, and he never once tried to jump on her. Granted, we tried to keep him tuckered out by throwing the ball for him constantly, but nonetheless, he didn't try to take food from people while they were eating, and, overall, he didn't seem like he really "bothered" anyone.

So, back to Petsmart... We are planning to do more training with him at Petsmart. You may remember that shortly after we moved here, we did some obedience training with him. Well, I think we've done all we can with what we learned there. We are planning to start the intermediate classes at Petsmart in a couple of weeks. It's an 8 week session, so we'll see how it goes. While we were there today, though, we let Nash choose a new toy... Check out his SHINY NEW RED BALL!!!


We were encouraging him to "leave it" while the photo was being taken. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to see the ball in his mouth... He has a BIG mouth, afterall!!

Oh well... I hope everyone had a good weekend, and has a good week!!

Love you guys!!

Thanks, one more time, for the surprise shower!! That was a GREAT way to start the weekend!!

Talk to you later! :)

Shower Pictures

Hi Everyone! I have a few spare minutes to post some pictures from our end of the virtual shower... I hope you enjoy them!!!

This is us posing with the first gift... Which we LOVE!!! :) I also loved the little bloomers with Maddy's name on them, however, the one shot we got of us posing with those was TERRIBLE, so I won't be sharing that one!! :)









Bryan and I were posing with all the gifts, but he kept making silly faces. Breezy (one of our friends who was here) took this one as I was giving Bryan "the look"... Sorry we didn't get a better one!! :)





There's Jimmy!!!











Maddy will be dry and warm once we wrap her up in this after bath time!! :)




There's MJ!! That was a nice surprise!!!













We really did watch the DVD intently!! :) I believe that's Grandmom and Grandpop's gift we're opening... I LOVED the "running"shoes!! I don't expect her to run any time soon... nor do I hope for that, but she'll be stylin' and profilin' in those!! :)





There they are!!!










Bryan LOVED the cigars!! He is still talking about them today. We also loved the "That 70's Show" portion of the shower. We laughed A LOT!!







Nash had to get in on the action, too. The shower wouldn't have been complete if he wasn't there!! :) Thanks for including him! HaHaHa...






Sleepers... Which I hear are THE way to go!!!







Uncle Dennis and Aunt Doreen were there, too!!! Thanks for hosting, Aunt Do!! :)








Dirty diaper sacks... They're smelly... Notsomuch in a bad way, though!! :)





I was REALLY excited about these!!!! I only hope she'll keep them on!!! I think they're GREAT!!!!! Thanks, Chris & April!! :)











This'll keep her warm and cozy. Thank you Uncle Jim and Aunt Sue!!





The blanket from Grandmother and Grandfather... Much like the ones Chris and I had when we were babies!!








And Mom & Dad were there... Hi Guys!!





Maddy's bedding... Now I guess her mom and dad need to hurry up and get her a mattress!! :)











This is Maddy's "little black dress"!!!



Dad modeling Maddy's "Does this make my diaper look big" onesie!! You can always count on him for a good chuckle!! :)












Another warm blanket for Maddy. She's got all kinds of folks that love her and want to keep her warm!!




We LOVED the Baby Head Song!! We laughed A LOT during this part, too!!!











Thank you, everyone, for "coming" to our shower!!! We had a BLAST!!!



Here are all of Maddy's new goodies laid out on display... That is, until she gets a mattress!!











Love you guys!!!

Just Wanted To Say...

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got the virtual shower last night around 8 PM, and had a BLAST doing it!!!! A couple of my friends came over (Bryan knew what was going on) to join us. We all had a GREAT time!! We took some pictures as we watched the DVD which I will post either later today or tomorrow. It was pretty late by the time we wrapped everything up (or unwrapped it as the case may be), so I wasn't able to send my thanks last night. We are having a BBQ today, so once I get things squared away for that, I will post the pictures... That's our part in returning the interaction of the shower!! Thank you, again!! I was thoroughly surprised, and LOVED every minute of it!!!!! :) You guys are the BEST!!!

Love you guys!! :)

Let's Add...

...a Bookshelf...

Let's hope that Maddy likes to read... or at least collect books... because she's the proud owner of a bookshelf... Check it out:

Currently, she owns 2 books. Bryan's mom (not too sure what she'll call her yet) bought her these books, so her collection is started!!

We bought this bookshelf at Target this weekend, but didn't have a chance to assemble it until tonight!! We think it's grand!!

We'll keep posting pictures as we go along...

Love you guys!!
