Andrew's Nursery

We finally got as much done as we can in Andrew's nursery. All that's left is to hang curtains and get a glider. We're also planning on putting a cute UT teddy bear picture over the changing table, orange and white wall dots over the crib, and spelling his name in wooden letters by the window.

Here are a few pictures of what we've finished:



Andrew's crib. The mobile plays a lullaby version of Rocky Top. It is so precious.


The changing table. We're going to get white wicker baskets for storage (and because they look pretty!)


The dresser and giant football helmet


Andrew's bathroom. He also has orange and white towels with Power Ts embroidered on them. So cute!

Sweet Summertime

Summer is finally here! It's always been my favorite season, but this year I love it more. Here are my reasons why:
  • My sweet niece will be here in 2-3 weeks (give or take)
  • No more stress (at least until classes start in 3 weeks)
  • I will never be a full time student again!!!
  • We finally have time to take the dogs to the park and swimming at the lake
  • Beach trips/Lake outings
  • Spending time being lazy with my hubby!
  • We're less than 14 weeks away from meeting our baby boy!

Over halfway already?

Well, today is a big milestone for Baby Andrew. Today, we hit 25 weeks. According to babycenter.com, he is 13.5 inches long and 1.5 lbs. He has also reached the point of viability, which is a huge weight off of my shoulders. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks for my checkup and diabetes test. I'm hoping that we'll get to see our little boy again (and get some more accurate measurements). We also only have 15 more weeks until our due date. It's crazy how fast this pregnancy is going.

We've had a pretty eventful week/weekend around our household. On Wednesday, Phillip took me out to dinner and a nice walk along the river to celebrate 5 years together. He's such a sweetie. Friday marked the end of classes for us. Then, Mom and Dad came up Friday afternoon, and yesterday was Akiko's baby shower. It was so much fun, and they got a ton of cute things for baby Aimi.

The adorable diaper cake that Mom made.

A princess cake for the future little princess!

Phillip and I also started on the nursery (pictures to come later). We've gotten the crib, changing table, and dresser all put together. I've gotten his newborn and 0-3 month clothes washed and ready to go. It's a nice start, but there's still so much to do!! I feel like time is running out very quickly.

Exams start on Wednesday, and then school is out for summer! We're looking forward to getting back to Brentwood on the 14th, and then heading down to the beach for some family vacay time. Hopefully the weather cooperates with all of our travel plans.
