Then there were 3...

Wow, where has the time gone...
Well as most of you know, our little Ella was born. She is now 5 months old. She is amazing! At 3 months she was rolling over and at 4 months she began the first crawling movements. all of her teachers say she is very advanced and her doctors say she is very developmentally advanced. Of course we are taking all that with a grain of salt but we are so proud of our little munchkin!
She was a very serious baby for the first few months but now she is soooo happy. She just began smiling at stranger when we go out in public and it is so adorable!
If you have not met her yet, please stop by.
We hope to head to Baton Rouge and Oregon soon to see everyone!
We miss all of you!!
Please look us up on facebook for recent pics!

8 days and counting...

I just wanted to post a little note. Ella's due date is quickly approaching and there are hundreds of emotions running through my veins.
The past week I have been so ready to begin labor and meet Ella, but as the date gets closer I find myself wanting to relish in this experience. Even though I am more uncomfortable than I have ever been, I know I will look back on this time and miss it.
Not sure if I will get to post again before she arrives but stick around becase pics of our little will be up real soon!!

Brief Update April

Well just wanted to give a brief little update as to how things are going.
WE are just about ready for the date to get here, although I may be a little more ready than Dave, but its close!!
I have my next Dr. appointment on the 15th of April and from then on out we will be going in every Thursday!
I feel like am am getting bigger by the minute although sleeping is getting much better. I think I finally got my positions figured out. So other than the 6 trips to the bathroom every night, things are great! I've even mastered the bathroom trips while keeping the lights out!! It really helps me get back to sleep quicker.
My Nashville Shower went great! I got some really great outfits and decorations for the nursery.
Once its all finished, I'll post some pictures.

Here a rough pic of me at work, just wanted to show you the little one thats coming along!

Mom is coming to town on the 24th, so we will be purchasing the final items in preparation. Lots of bottles, sheets, and other necessities!
Till later!!

Fun, Food, Family, and Friends... not necessarily in that order...

Fun:
Well first off, I cannot believe we will have our little Ella in about 60 days. Thats just crazy. We have finished the nursery for now. I have cut off my "buying of baby things" until the shower. By cut off, I mean that I will not purchase anything thats not on sale, mega sale...
My most recent mega sale purchase was at Baby Gap, and I have to say, this is a first for me. I usually am not into the Baby Gap style.

Now I am patiently waiting for the matching green Tu-Tu to go on sale.
I also scored some SUPER cute dresses at a consignment sale recently.
I have been feeling great. We purchased a rocker recliner and that is now my alternate bed. I am in love with that stinkin chair! I am definitely showing now. I'll get some new pics up soon!

Food:
Well if you know me at all, you know that I am an unofficial foodie.
My goal: to have tried every restaurant in Nashville.
So we recently tried a few new ones and I haven't been disappointed.
Especially Susy Wongs House of Yum. A must try if you are in town!

Family & Friends:
So my wonderful friends are throwing me a baby shower this weekend. I am so excited to A) see everyone, B) get a lot of cute things to fill Ella's nursery.
I have a little bit of family coming into town for the shower since I am only having one and its in Nashville. I am so thankful that they are willing to make the trek to Nashville. I have really missed having family close during this pregnancy.

More fun:
I have been aching to do some crafts lately, especially for Ella's room. I just can't figure out what to do. Especially because of the spending freeze (See Fun section 1).
Any ideas??
I want to make some bookends but I can't seem to find the right block letters (thick, heavy, not curvy) and whittling my own is just not an option...

More soon!

Preparations have begun

Well the Holiday's flew by. We had a wonderful time in Louisiana with the family.

Christmas at the Buckle's

Its a Girl!!

Mom and Dad recieved the painting I made them.

We found out on Dec 23, that we are having a baby girl! We are very excited and have begun preparing the house for the miniature human to arrive!

We just finished painting the room a lovely shade of green and built all of the big furniture. As you can probably guess, the room has an Owl theme!

I have begun to really start showing and we have begun feeling little kicks now and then, mainly when I need to eat!

I have mostly been craving milk (I drink almost 1/2 gallen per day!!!), I haven't been very interested in sweets, and I have been wanting to eat Indian food more than usual... which is a lot.

We will keep you posted on new happenings!!
