Getting even more ready!


I haven't been very good about blogging so I'll try to give the full monthly update.  We have been busy trying to get everything just right for Bradie's arrival...we just can't believe it is about a month away!  I have been very blessed to have a pregnancy that has been problem-free and has really flown by- knock on wood.  The only big issue I've had recently, and I mean BIG, is my swollen ankles and feet.  Really just my ankles have turned into cankles and my poor feet are just stuck on the end of two stubs!  It's sad and painful and all my doctor says is it's normal and to put my feet up during the day (like it's easy to rest my feet on my desk in a room full of crazy 7th graders that are ready for school to be out!)  
Here's a picture, but it doesn't do them justice.  Believe me they're 
big by the end of the day!  And for some reason the left is always bigger than the right.
Lee putting together the glider- such a handy man!

The room is almost finished!
My wonderful coworkers threw a shower at KMS for Bradie.  Once again, I am completely overwhelmed with their generosity.  We were able to buy the stroller/car seat with all of the gift cards from the shower- SWEET! 
Here I am testing out the stroller.
And my team, Team 7-1, at the shower.  Lacy's missing because of stupid tennis!  :(

Now, the countdown really begins.  At the end of this week I'll be 36 weeks and I'll be starting my weekly dr appointments.  I feel like I've gotten the "burst of energy" or "nesting" bug the past few days.  I've been cleaning the house, my classroom, everything and staying up until midnight or later getting as much done as possible.  Poor Lee is exhausted and I've been dragging him along!  Does this mean she might be here soon?  Guess we'll see- next appointment is Tuesday the 2nd!

Baby Showers




All I can say is WOW!  The last two weeks have been amazing and I feel so lucky to have the friends and family that I have.  Audrey hosted a shower last weekend for my dad's side of the family and I got to see a bunch of family I don't see too often.  I forgot to take a bunch of pictures except for this, but we had a great time.
Then, yesterday Deseri and Katie hosted a shower for friends.  Let me just tell you, Deseri should be a party planner!  She transformed her house into something out of a baby shower magazine (if they even have such a thing).  They are great best friends! 




When it came time for gifts, I was just completely blown away!  Everyone was so generous and Bradie got TONS of stuff!  She will be battling it out with Reagan for best-dressed for sure! Thanks again to everyone!



Another thing that made this shower so special is how every guest decorated a bib or onesie for Bradie.  Like I said at the shower, I must attract creative people in my life, because these bibs/onesies are ADORABLE!   











Love all of my friends and family!
