24 Weeks

Hm....What's new?  Well, back pain for one.  Going to talk to the Nurse Practitioner about this tomorrow at my appointment.  Maybe she'll just send me home with a prescription for a nightly back massage.

I bought some clothes for Baby Boudreaux.

We looked at some furniture at a new store in Tupelo yesterday and plan to look at some more next Saturday while we're in Missouri.
Also got 21 of my Thank You cards sent from my shower in Houma.  Still need to send 10 more but have to wait on getting addresses from my mother-in-law. 

Other than this, not much going on around here.  Maybe I'll have more news for next week.  Have a great week!

In 4 months...

Our baby is due.  He may come earlier or later.  Either way I want him to come when he's ready.  I have several things that he will need in his room.  We picked out a paint sample last night at Lowe's.  We still need to paint the room (by "we" I mean "Brad").  I hope to be able to order his furniture in a couple of weeks, which may take up to 8 weeks for it to ship.  We got giftcards for Target to buy a car seat--we just have to pick one out.  A lady Brad works with wants to sell us a highchair they used for their daughter and a baby swing they never used.  This week I ordered a few items from Old Navy's Baby Sale.  We still do not have a name for Baby Boudreaux.  I enjoy planning.  I love making lists and marking off items.  There is so much to do before Baby arrives but I am proud of what we've achieved.  I look forward to each step along the way.

Baby Boudreaux's First Party!

I was surprised this past weekend by a Dr. Suess baby shower!  I knew the shower was taking place.  I just didn't know the theme.  It was a lot of fun and Boudreaux got some very nice things!

Dr. Suess was a big part of my childhood.  My parents would joke around in rhymes and would read his books to me.  I wanted the ABC Book read to me so many times, my parents had to memorize it and just tell me when to turn the pages.  They can still quote it!  I plan to read these books to Baby when he arrives and let him enjoy the fun goofiness.

But, back to the shower my sister-in-law and mother-in-law threw for me. 

Fun treats...

Good books...

Great gifts!

My opinion may be a little skewed but I think they throw a great shower!  Baby is so spoiled already!

21 Weeks

Well, well.  What a busy week last week!  Didn't find out baby's gender at the doctor's appointment Tuesday but we did go to a private ultrasound place in Thibodaux.  It was a great place!  The owner was very nice and allowed as many family and friends as you want to go with you.  So I brought the mister, his mother, brother, sister-in-law, neice and nephew.  So there was a lot of love in the room for Baby Boudreaux when we found out he's a boy!  So exciting!  Now I can say "he" or "him" or "his" or "baby boy" or "my son"!
Also we had the first baby shower with Brad's side of the family and friends.  I was impressed with the turn-out since it was a holiday weekend and there was a tropical storm going on.  I will try to go a post on just the baby shower later this week when the pictures are ready from the photographer (aka Baby Daddy).
Now we're back home and I'm exhausted.  We were busy all weekend and I have to go back to work tomorrow.  Whew!
