Swing....

Well today Chad brought home a gift that included something for the baby-a swing! A coworker of his is done with her kids and wanted to give it to us. Well he brought it home and it was the exact same swing that I had picked out, what are the odds? I feel truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family:)

The only big thing left to get is a monitor other than that its all things $50 or under.

A picture of the swing its the little lamb so soft
The nursery is definitely looking like a nursery now, we just have to paint and get the crib setup and it will be all ready for Morgan Elizabeth's arrival!

She is definitely growing a lot right now I feel like my stomach is just stretching out it feels so weird nothing like it really to describe it to.

There is talk tomorrow of our district closing due to snow well see if it happens, part of me wants a day off but if we do close we will have to go in February and I think I would rather have the day then but Ill take a day off wont complain too much.

Big Stuff in Pictures

Here is a list of everything we have gotten for the nursery except the mattress that's pretty standard:) We really dont lack much except for all the little things.

Here is our registry that we did yesterday-I feel so clueless on all this stuff -like how many crib sheets & changing pad sheets do you register for?? Link to registry Let me know if the link doesnt work

Lady Bug set-so cute

Delta Crib

Delta Soho Dresser/changing table

Chicco Lullaby LX Playard Discovery

Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas....

Our tree is decorated, the garland is hung and its starting to look and feel a lot more like Christmas! 22 days and counting to Christmas and 18 more days till the big appointment to find out boy or girl I cant wait!

So in randomness since there is lots to say...

• The other night was my first dream that I had that I can remember and it was cute weird. I dreamed that I was drowning in a river (muddy) and I had gotten to where I felt like I was about to die. Well I woke up screaming really loud HELP! Of course it scared Chad because he thought something was really wrong. Then when I finally did get up it was really raining how ironic or what..lol!
• Then last night I had another dream which was even weirder. I dreamed that my little brother (22) and his gf (20) were pg and she was due 2 wks ahead of me. Well she found out she was having a girl and we found out we were having a boy and I was just shocked I couldnt believe it because I thought the doctor was wrong and she told us the wrong information, then I woke up and that was the end..haha!
  
• I think my stomach has reached normalcy. I dont want to jinx myself but yesterday was the first time in a LONG time that I had NOTHING that affected my stomach which is a huge deal
• Sunday I go to my 5th baby shower in one month. I feel like I live at Babies R Us with getting all the gifts we have gotten for friends and co-workers.
• The other night when we did go to Babies R Us which seems to be our new hang out store..haha they had coupons for 15% off any item so for anyone who needs some baby stuff they probably have them at the local one by you as well.
  
• The other day I got told by my pg student (she is 16) not to take my vitamins. Me being curious I said why in the world would you do that, that is idiotic. She said oh if you only take your vitamins half the time then you wont get as big. I just couldnt believe someone would say and actually do something so stupid. Why dont you care about the child that is inside of you instead of what you look like? It just really burned me up and this is someone who is keeping her child which I respect her opinion but I just couldnt imagine a kid at 16.
• This past week I dont know what it was but Ive been told by several students about their home life (parents into very illegal drugs) and it just breaks my heart into a million pieces. If parents arent going to grow up and raise their kids then how will the kids ever make it?!
• If you havent already put your guess in for Baby Wallace only 18 more days to do so to guess boy or girl!
  

I think thats all my randomness for today Ill try to post a picture of all our decorations sometime soon (before Christmas..haha!)

Travel System/Playard

We have decided on the Chicco Cortina Travel System Stroller - DiscoveryThe reason we decided on this we like the colors, its gender neutral so for our next child if its the opposite sex we can still use it so its perfect! They have a great deal they are running right now at Babies R us where its $100 off if you buy 3 pieces which we will need all so we are thinking about it.

Matching Playard

I cant wait to buy it all for our little one:) If you have anything to say for or against Chicco please share I would love to hear thoughts

First BIG Purchase

Well we ordered the first BIG baby product and we got it in today. We got a JVC Everio G all for a grand total after everything of $5...yes $5! Retail on it is $379 so a big difference. Now we have a video camera for our baby..yeah! we got this particular one because we have an Mac (Apple) and it seems to work well with it and some cameras dont so well definitely give it a test and see if it holds true.

I also broke down and bought a pair of maternity jeans from Mother.hood Mater.nity and they are absolutely the most comfortable things I have ever put on my body...wow talk about comfort! My khakis and dress pants still fit me but Im sure by Christmas Ill be making a repeat trip. Our trip was wonderful and the sales rep was absolutely the most kind helpful person I have seen in a LONG time! We both felt so at ease and she answered any questions as well.

Next purchase maybe a doppler-for anyone who has had one is it worth it?

Last-I still havent told my students yet and not sure when I will tell them, probably after Thanksgiving and Ill be in my 2nd tri. We have this week and next week and then its Thanksgiving break I cant wait! 7 more school days and counting!

Tomorrow we get to see our baby cant wait!
