See You on the FLIP Side!

We're off...
It's kind of weird to know the exact date and time your baby will be born!
MONDAY @ 7am!
You may be sleeping but, we will be becoming parents! :)
It hasn't fully set in yet but I'm getting nervous for the whole thing. I'm not really sure a person can prepare themselves for what awaits us in the next two weeks! I'm just now starting to think about the emotional roller coaster it will be!
I'm not sure what kind of Internet access we will have but trust me, I will do my best to get an update ASAP! :)
OK, for real this time...Wish us luck--we'll accept prayers as well! :)
I was going to post a picture of how well rested and pretty we are because it might all change very soon but, you'll all just have to remember our beautiful smiling faces before parenthood! ;)

FALSE ALARM!!!

Sorry for the fake out! From talking to her last week it sounded like it was going to be this week at the latest...but, after today's appointment the dr. said they are still on for the c section but not until her 39th week!!!! So, that's after next Friday. Unless she goes into labor before then and then they will do a c section then. Anyway, sorry for the false excitement--but imagine how we feel...we are packed and ready to go!!! So, I am off to unpack and get ready to go back to work tomorrow am and explain this 100 more times!
BUMMER!!!
On a bright side...Birth mom and baby are doing GREAT! :)

Adoption Update... & Name Spoiler

WE ARE ON OUR WAY!!!! The baby has been upside down for the past couple of weeks and the dr. does not want the birth mom to go into labor and wanted to schedule a C-section last week but she was really nervous and started crying so the dr. agreed to give the baby one more week to turn on his own. As we have been told this is not likely since he is so big so, we are planning on the C-section being scheduled for this week and we are getting ready to drive to Oklahoma tomorrow night or Tuesday morning so that we can be there for sure! :) So, if you think to your self, "I wonder if they are freaking out?" the answer is YES!!! We are freaking out for so many different reasons but really just can hardly wait.
Here are some pictures of the nursery. I am sure we will add things here and there but for now this is how it looks...
I made the bed skirt and valance too but here is my secret...you might say lazy but I say GENIUS! The bed skirt is actually velcroed to the bar holding the mattress. That way I don't have to mess with it every time I change the sheets or if it gets dirty I can just rip the one piece off and wash it without taking the whole thing off...I think I am on to something here! :)
To view more room pictures click here: NAME SPOILER
But, as you can see if you click there you will have a name spoiler! If you don't want to know...DON'T CLICK! Although, if you want to know...CLICK ON!

It has been so much fun getting ready for everything. We have our birth mother gifts and I will be posting pictures of those soon as well. We can't wait to meet her and spend time getting to know her better. She really has been AMAZING!
Anyway, here we go...wish us luck! :)

Suggestions...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a great infant photographer that will not cost an arm and a leg...
I just want to have someone in mind so when it comes to getting his pictures taken when we get back for Oklahoma we have someone set up. :) thanks!

Just Putting it Out There...

I know I am in no position to be wanting things but I just have to put it out there...
I am obsessed with this wallet. Not particularly this color but I just love the wallet!
I want one...I'm just sayin' :)
And, I want one of these too...it would make my sewing hobby so much easier and better!
I want one...I'm just sayin! :)




I girl can want, can't she?
