Nathan's Work Baby Celebration/Shower

On March 20th Nathan's work had a baby celebration/shower for the two of us at a local restaurant (The Oak Room). Everyone was so sweet and we received some wonderful gifts. We are both so thankful to have such great friends!

Dinosaur Cut Outs

We decided to go with the Dinosaur bedding and I had my heart set on repainting the room until Nathan came up with the idea of making dinosaurs for the walls to match the bedding instead (this is his way of getting out of painting around the windows, doors, etc. in the room). The entire time he's trying to explain this idea to me I'm thinking....were not artists....these are going to turn out horrible...

Bedding:

First Step: Take pictures of dinosaur bedding and use a projector to project the pictures onto the boards and draw them.

Second Step: Cut out the dinosaurs and sand the edges

Third Step: Use the projector again to add all the little details to the dinosaurs

Fourth Step (and sixth and seventh and.....): Paint

Finished:


So yes my genious husband had a wonderful idea. I love how the dinosaurs turned out!

March 10th Dr Check Up

My 29th week check up apointment went well. Hunter's heartbeat is 144 BPM and he is moving around like crazy. I go back March 31st for yet another check up. My last ultrasound will be scheduled around my 36th week.

Pediatrician Meet & Greet

March 10th


Being a first time mom I have no clue of what to do and what to expect so I thought it would be best to choose a pediatrician before Hunter's born so that I would be prepared for when he arrives. Nathan and I chose to go with the local University Medical Associates since I work for the university. I was thrilled to find out that one of our neighbors was a pediatrician at the facility...she is going to hate being our neighbors now...she's just across the street from us :) The meet and greet went great and I feel more relaxed now knowing Hunter has a pediatrician that I can take him too.

Baby Registry

On Feb 14th Nathan and I decided to register for all the little baby things we think we need or are just too cute to live without.

First stop: Babies-R-Us. This store has everything and I mean everything you could ever imagine for babies and of course they don't make one of everything they make a couple dozen different bottles, nipples, baths, strollers, carseats and the list goes on and on. After two hours...Nathan's back was hurting so he relaxed in one of the comfy chairs while I browsed through some of the clothes. After three hours we were finally finished and I was so thankful.

Next stop: Target. Thank God Target only carries a small selection so it only took us an hour to register.

We had planned on also registerring at Walmart but our local store no longer has the registry scanners so I was able to do that one online.

All said and done I am more confused on what we need and what brands, colors, etc. to even buy!
