Disney World!!

So we went to Tampa, Florida two weeks ago to see our friends Lance and Emilee. We were going to go to the Houston Astros spring training game on Friday night when we got there but it was raining so we ended up eating dinner with the Neikros and Emily's brother and 8 1/2 month pregnant sis in law. It was fun b/c we compared notes on the pregnancy and since Emilee is a nurse anesthetist she checked both of us to see how difficult it would be for us to get an epidural. She said we should be easyy sticks! Whew! I do not want there to be any problems in this area:) Saturday since we had the day to ourselves we decided to go to Disney World! I haven't been since I was in elementary school and Trey had never been. He always complained that his parents never went while he was little, so I figured we should go check it out for Camden:) We just went to Epcot b.c I thought it would be more entertaining for people w/out children. There wasn't a lot I could do b/c of the pregnancy so I'm sure we missed some cool rides but Trey wouldn't ride without me, so we stuck to the educational and kiddie rides! It would be much better with kids there I have to admit, but I loved looking at all the flowers and decorations. They had alot of the Disney characters made totally out of greenery and flowers. It was gorgeous! I got some ideas for my flowerbeds for this summer. It was ALOT of walking, but I took a few breaks and we had ice cream so I was happy:)

Random Pictures

I have some pictures that I haven't downloaded in a while these are a few weeks ago when an old sorority sister friend of mine Courtney came in town and we all went downtown to eat and Earnestine and Hazel's. The other pictures of bathtime with the Walkman. We decided to have fun and give him a little mohawk! He loves splashing the water and can hit it so hard that it will soak the area around the tub and even splashes on the mirror across the room! Also there is a pic of Walker trying on his uncle Trey's new boots. I will upload pics from Misty and Jimmy's wedding as soon as I get them downloaded from Tracy's camera.

I finally took some photos of the current nursery. I still am waiting on my mom to sew the crib skirt and the curtain as well as the quilt which we will probably hang on the opposite wall. I have the bookshelf stocked with beatrix potter books and other little bunny accessories. I have framed a few illustrations from the nursery rhyme series and painted letters and Trey and I hung them last weekend. I also took a pic of me at 24 weeks I am now 25 weeks. I read on the internet that Camden most likely weights 1 and 1/2 pounds and 13.5 inches tall. The top of my uterus now reaches between my bellybutton and my sternum and if roughly the size of a soccer ball! No wonder none of my clothes fit anymore! It seems like I have so little time until he will actually be here! I cannot wait until we get to meet our little man:)

It's official I'm pregnant and strangers are noticing!

I guess the cat's out of the bag, people are starting to ask me how far along I am! I guess in this past week or two my belly went from a pooch to a real pregnant stomach. It was kind of a good and bad thing. I am waving goodbye to my waist and saying hello to mommyhood. It is good though b/c now people who I would catch looking at my stomach and wondering if I just had a beer belly or if I was indeed pregnant can tell without wondering. I had two patient's this week whose family visitors asked me how far along I am while I was in their family members room working. I was a little excited I have to admit. I am ready for the fully round belly so I can feel Camden moving around all the time! I have made some progress on the nursery. We found a dresser, but will be on backorder until April:( So I may wait to get it. I have gotten several little accessories this week like some more B. Potter books, and a little finger puppet book, and some figurines off ebay. My mom and I are still working on the bedding and crib skirt, so it will look much more put together once all of that is finished. I have some more photos of Walker I wanted to put up. Trey and I both hope that our little boy has 1/2 the personality he does and is sweet as he is!!

Waiting for baby...

This blog is for our little bundle of joy that we are expecting early June 2008! I will be updating this blog as much as possible. Trey and I have been married for two years now and this is our first child. Trey is working at his dad's Budweiser distributor as the Service Manager which he really loves. I just recently graduated from nursing school and am an RN at Methodist University in the CVICU. We are so excited about our son and cannot wait to meet him! For now we have settled on a name Camden! We haven't decided if this will be his first name or middle name and haven't made the final decision on the second name. We will probably call him "Cam" for short. Right now we are very busy getting the nursery and house ready for our new arrival. We have transformed our office into the nursery with sage green walls and white crib and espresso furniture with chocolate brown accents. The theme is Beatrix Potter (the writer/illustrator of the turn of the century nursery rhymes of Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher, and Jemima Puddleduck). Camden's grandmother, CC (cindy cresswell) has been busy helping sew gorgeous beatrix potter themed bumper pads, quilt, pillows, crib skirt and curtains. We have some beautiful prints on the wall of the nursery rhymes. We refurbished my grandmother's glider with new sage cushions and espresso colored stain. We are still shopping for a few accessories and a dresser/changing table to complete the room. We have several hand-me-down outfits from his older cousin Walker and his CC already! I will upload pictures of the nursery once I get more done!
