To walk or Not to walk!

We are 35 weeks and 2 centemeters dialated. I have been having contractions for a few days now but we kinda thought that yesterday might be the start of it all.... Doctor says baby is head down and ready to go but because Im not 37 weeks they wont encourage labor but they wont stop it either... SO, Im in a weird place right now of not being real sure whether to be active and try to get labor going OR to relax and just keep having random, VERY painful contractions for two more weeks! The anticipation is killing me....

The baby's room is finally ready. Expecting a package from my brother today with the bassinet that we both slept in and Taylor tot used too... its really special. Mom is waiting too, to see how we will work this plane ticket... were all just waiting to see what Miss Ashlynne is going to do.

31 Weeks Today!

My sweeeeeeeeet friend Leigh Ann!
The changing table... love you Hortons!

From Meme and Aunt Jean. We love you! Couldn't be more perfect!






Mmmmm. My favorite... its BEAUTIFUL in person!

Everything is going really really well. I feel this little girl really low but I have been carrying low my entire pregnancy, so as she gets bigger I feel her lower and lower. She moves a lot. I still love it. She has a regular sleep pattern, believe it or not. We are awake- playing- between 4 and 5am. She rests until early afternoon and then she goes and goes until bed time. We discuss bed time hours regularly! Im carrying all in the front and some extra baggage in the rear end!
The last doctor appointment was good. Everything sounded and looked good. We will get one more sonogram, which will happen at the next appointment May 3rd. Cant wait to see her one more time! We will be delivering in Starkville.... cant be driving to Jackson, 2 hours away, in labor! I do like the new doctor. At this point, someone just needs to catch her as she comes into the world! My mom will be planning her trip here after the next dr appointment! I wane my momma here. Nothing like your mom.....

We finished her nursery! She has the most beautiful crib and dresser! My mom bought her crib... Meme and Great Aunt Jean bought her dresser. Its amazing how it matches. All I have left in the nursery is a border. The yellow turned out fantastic, especially next to the cherry wood. Her changing table is special too because its a hand-me-down from the Horton's, the family I nannied for in college. All it needs in a pad!
The baby shower is next Saturday! I cant wait! Its going to be so fun. Keep you guys posted. Loves~

Sturgis... Here we come!

The other half of the back yard... and THE POND!

We moved to Sturgis from Jackson. Sturgis is Scott's home town and a great little place for our precious baby girl to come home to. The house itself, isn't anything special but the property and town is.... so we decided this would be the best place for us. Scott's work is going really well in Starkville (10 minutes from Sturgis), so here we are. Pictures of the outside of the house to come!

Leigh Ann and Shelby! Blowing out candles






Happy Birthday Shelby! We had a great girl day! We started by having a sweet party for Shelby. She turned 4 years old. It was really fun and a super cool cake. And yes, between the guys, kids who ate 3 or 4 peices each and two pregers, the cake was gone by dinner! Then after I took a 2 1/2 hour nap.... we did it.....
We put Hunter Drake Morgan's (Leigh Ann's baby to be born May 11th, 2010) bassinet together all by ourselves! We were quite proud! Cant wiat to see his sweet face in May then our baby in July. Great Weekend! Thanks Leigh Ann!

I did it Myself!!!!!!!!!!!

Stroller from Cousin Sheila!!!!!!!!

The pattern

Car Seat


Her room!



Loving this!

Im proud to say, I put it together myself! It wasnt too hard but I felt good about it. Scott wanted me to wait but I wanted to do it myself. I also moved the extra bed, which we need to keep in her room for the kids and guests. The green rug is how far out her crib will come and how long it will be on that wall. Pleanty of room still for the glider! (which I still need... hint hint... ha ha)
Thank you so much Sheila. I love it. She will too.
