Unexpected Surprise at the Doctors Appointment

So it was me who got the big surprise today when I went to my last baby doctor appointment before Elis birthday. Well for one I am still not dilated, which is fine, since technically Im still 10 days out, even though we're planning to have him here Tuesday. However, the surprise came when get this....the doc said that when you induce it doesnt always work. And then she proceeded to say, that if it doesnt work I could just go home, wait a few days and then come back and try again. umm...WHATTTTTTTTTT??? I dont know about you but thats not how I pictured this playing out. If I go in to have a baby...by all means Im leaving with a baby. So maybe I should go buy some Castro oil??? Who knows, guess me and Jesus need to spend some time talking about this lil hiccup!

Which by the way...when Eli hiccups it is the funniest little thing. I dont know how he can hiccup that quickly and still breath (well sorta breath/you know what I mean).

Brain Pick

Ok readers, I need some input. We only have 7 days to go and I still have no idea what I want our little man to call my parents. For Aarons parents we're going with Mamaw and Papa, but what about the my folks? I would love to hear what you have your lil peanuts call their grandparents, or maybe cute nicknames for grandma and grandpa that you've heard before! Please leave me suggestions.....

Shower #3

Here are some of the onesies I've been promising to post! Arent my friends so creative? Now Im just waiting on my husband to design his!! The markers and white onesies are waiting....

If you want to do this, it is so incredibly easy. Simply pick up a variety of different onesies, wash them all in dreft, and then pick up some fabric markers and stencils!!

The last one is my favorite! Please note the mom tatoo on the sleeve!!

Baby Shower #2

One of my absolute favorite parts of my shower was the onesies!! When I came in Shelby had little onesies, of all different sizes, hanging on clothes lines all over her house. Each one of us grabbed a onesie and decorated it any way we wanted. I must say some of the ladies at my shower were super creative!! It is such a great way to get one of a kind outfits for our little guy! I will soon post some of the finished products!

Extra Fabric??

If like most of us you have extra fabric laying around why not make your own bibs! A couple cuts, a few buttons, and someone with a lot more skill than me, and boom....you've got yourself a bib.

Suprise Baby gift

I dont know if its just because Im a housewife and dont get out much, but one of the most exciting parts of my day is when the mail comes....especially when its a surprise package!! Thats exactly what happened yesterday when I got a knock at the door, and opened it to find a rather large box outside my door. I ripped that package open before I even shut the door and was so excited to find Eli's baby gym inside! But it was the note inside that really made my day. This gift came from my sweet friend Jill. Jill and her husband Eric have the sweetest little baby girl, who sadly Ive only gotten to see once. Jill is one of those people who I have been through a lot with and cannot imagine my life without. We only lived together for 2 years but in that time we managed to put ourselves through grad school, and both get hitched. Then within 2 years from then we will both have little ones that we've added to our family. Oh Jill, I know you're far far away in Texas, but Im so glad we've entered so many life stages together, I cant imagine having done any of it without you. And you better believe I'll be calling for baby advice!! Love ya girl!
