The end is nearing...

I am DEFINITELY counting down the days until this little guy arrives!! His room is mostly ready (minus some curtains, a lamp shade, and a changing table cover) and his mom is MOST DEFINITELY ready! Seven long weeks left and since I CAN'T be induced there is a good chance I will go over my due date. My doctor won't give me pitocin because I had a C-section with Ava and the risks of my uterus ripping are increased with pitocin. As long as he is healthy I don't care when he comes!

I had a hard time picking a crib set but this is what I finally decided on. I absolutely LOVE it!

I made these to go above his crib...

And this is what they look like together...

And this is his changing table. My father-in-law made it for Ava and so of course we are going to use it for Spencer. I still need to replace the fabric on the cupboards and get a changing table cover but I'm pretty lucky to have such a talented father-in-law because I think it's gorgeous!!
When his room is all finished I will hopefully remember to post a picture...it should be pretty cute!

A Matter of Seconds

At lunch today Ava was being the sweet little two year old that she usually is...

Until I told her she had to eat two more bites...She looked at me and said, "You're mean!"

What?!? Where did she learn this? Great - now my sweet child is starting to tell me what she thinks of me. I quickly told her that I am nice and now she is walking around saying, "You're nice". I wish it were always going to be this easy to convince her that I'm not the bad guy!

My feet and hands itch and I am more worried about getting stretch marks on my limbs than I am on my big belly!! I have a little less than 2.5 months left and I ALREADY can't wear my wedding ring anymore. My ring finger size has gone from a 4.25 to a 7!! Oh and let's not talk about wearing shoes...or the lack thereof. My feet are even tight in FLIP FLOPS!! It is creepy when I can push on my ankle and an indent is left there for a half an hour. I love being pregnant but we'll see what I think of it when the end of July nears and I can't even walk because my ankles won't bend! Wish me luck ;)

UPDATE: I had a doctors appointment today and he said that my swelling will probably settle down when the weather is consistent. He said that changes in temperature, even if it is cold, can make me swell more. I am not as swollen today and I got my wedding ring back on so hopefully he's right!!

Hogle Zoo

I LOVE the zoo! It is so fun to take Ava there because she talks about it for days afterward! We got a family membership this year so that we can go whenever we want. I also love being able to go for a couple of hours and not feeling like I didn't get my moneys worth.

With that said I am going to go next Wednesday (the 20th) morning and I am inviting anyone that would like to come along. It is much more fun going with friends than by myself!! My membership can get one adult and one child in for free so the first person to get to me has dibs on the free pass! I hope that some of you can come!
