Just a random post today with thoughts and pictures.
* I'm ready for Shelby to make her appearance. My due date is a week away but I have decided that after this week at work, I think I'm done.
I was REALLY in that mindset yesterday after time off.
It was so hard coming in....
I was exhausted, but today I'm much better and I'm actually fine with being here longer if I need or feel like it.
My doctor has told me that they won't even talk about inducing me until I'm a week past my due date.
Well, guess what?
That's December 12th friends.
That's a long time away. Not sure what it would be like to sit home for that long and cut into my leave.
So, we shall see.
Tomorrow is my 39th week appointment.
* Light brie and egg nog aren't worth it. Buy the real deal.
* I really want to go and see the Transiberian Orchestra in concert Thursday night. Trying to talk Brad into it. Wondering if I should just ask a girlfriend to go instead.
* Planning on wrapping all of our Christmas gifts this weekend if Miss Priss hasn't been born yet.
* Love that everyone in our neighborhood has their Christmas decorations up and it's not even December.
* Our awesome neighbors are having a holiday party this weekend and I'm wondering what in the heck I'm going to wear now that I'm ginormous and only have a few pairs of shoes that are comfy and fit.
* Love this picture of our niece Paige from Thanksgiving. Brad bought mustaches for everyone and at first Miss Paige didn't want to participate but after 10-minutes or so she joined in on the fun.
My Mom said she was just hanging out in there taking it all in.
She said her favorite part was Angelina the ballerina.
* Shelby already has a couple of gifts under our tree.
My Mom and Dad made sure of that.
We just need to get the rest of ours wrapped.
* Shelby is also still receiving gifts in the mail from friends!
Check out this most adorable hat sent to us from our friends Matt and Mandy in Macedonia!
I adore it!
It's from a shop on Etsy called The Mustard Seed.
Over the weekend Brad and I ventured out to finish our Christmas shopping and ended up at Black Lion.
Gosh, they have so many pretty trees in that place!!
I thought the use of cotton was interesting.
Very rustic.
This tree would SO BE in my mountain house, if I'm ever to get one.
How much do you love this?!
Other than that, not a whole lot shaking around here.
Brad and I soaking up our time together as we enter into the last days of being just a family of 3(me, him and Buddy).
Happy Tuesday!
Love the picture of Paige with the mustache! She's going to be such a good cousin to Miss Priss :)
ReplyDeleteHang in there. You're almost at the finish line!!
p.s. Hudson was born right after my 39 week appt. You never know!
I would love to see the Trans Siberian Orchastera. I told Brian that I wouldn't mind two tickets (me+him) as my Christmas present for next year to go with him. I've seen pictures from other people who have seen them and it looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the trees. We are slowly decorating ours :)

I LOVE the cotton topper on that tree!!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet Paigey in Shelby's room ... that is precious. You can tell how excited she is.
ReplyDeleteI saw TSO a few years ago in Columbia!
Hoping you don't go past your due date ... who knows the Dr. may say you are ready tomorrow and send you to the hospital! I keep hoping to see "she's here" on FB or text ... thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteAwww! Paige is excited for her new cousin to be able to play with her in that pretty nursery!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to hear about these next few weeks. Please make sure I'm on your list to contact!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday. I love that your mom and dad have already picked out their names. Gigi is cute.
ReplyDeleteShe will be here so soon!
ReplyDeleteWe saw TBO a couple years ago. It was mostly a light show. Here is my not great recap - http://anniesadventures16.blogspot.com/2009/12/trans-siberian-orchestra.html
love the rustic trees with cotton.
ReplyDeleteand i have wanted to see the TSO for like...5+ years...and i still haven't. if i was there, you'd have a fun date :)
Crossing my fingers for you! Dec 12th is far away, but whenever she comes it will be perfect!
ReplyDeleteLinda and I were given those names by our other grand children, ages 22, 20, 17.
ReplyDeleteI am pulling for Shelby to be here on 4 Dec, my birthday.
Granddad, Wally
I was induced at 38 weeks with my first....but only because I was a total fatty and gained 50 lbs and my blood pressure spiked :) So its probably better you have to wait. If you have a second, they will usually induce at 39 weeks. Hang in there!
