Relaxing Weekend

Here are a few pics from Memorial Day weekend, just chillin by mom and dad's new pride and joy... their pool! As most of you know, my dearly beloved grandad (who Hayden is being named after) passed away a year ago come July. He and my granny put a pool in there back yard when I was 3 or 4 years old. We spent many, many summers by "granny and grandad's pool," many birthday parties, etc. It was a huge part of mine and my sisters adolescence and childhood. When my parents decided to take what grandad left them and put a pool in their backyard, I was thrilled. I knew grandad wouldn't have had them spend that money any other way. I think without it my mom would be lost this summer, and I would probably be asking myself all summer, "why am I not by the pool at grandad's?" Needless to say, I am so excited to see my parents play the role of "going to granny and grandad's" (but it won't be granny and grandad, they still haven't decided what they want to be called) They were such a big part of my life and I am so excited to see Hayden enjoy his grandparents as much as I did mine!

12 week countdown!

On monday, my beautiful mother and I went to my 28 week prenatal visit. It was so fun to see how excited she got when Dr. New was going from body part to body part pointing out everything on the screen. We got to see his little face and his mouth was moving, it was really cool. Then I had to drink that really sugary drink, which made me all jittery and then have my blood drawn an hour later for the glucose test which screens for gestational diabetes. Today the nurse called and I past the test!! Yea! Now the 12 week countdown begins. I go back to the doctor in 3 weeks and then every two after that until weekly the last month!! Thinking and praying for you Lizze, Jarod, and Carter. Can't wait to meet him. I will be anticipating a intimate pep talk from a Bradley classmate first hand to prepare myself!!

Sidenote: GO ADAM!!!!!!!

productive weekend!

This weekend we have been working hard on Hayden's room. We put up a chair rail around the room and daddy put together his furniture. I have ordered the bedding but it won't be here until June. Basically the room will be lots of bright fun colors with a few guitar things thrown in that I have managed to find.

here is a picture of the bedding from the website

I am so excited about my guitar light switch cover!

the end product! (for now anyways)

A belly shot since I have not posted one thus far
Everything is coming along great! Hayden is kicking and punching all of the time, we just lay in bed and watch him have a party! I have the glucose testing at my 28 week appointment in two weeks and then the 12 week countdown begins! Its gonna be one long, hot summer!
