Nursery

I finally finished painting the letters for her name and Chris and I hung them today. The ribbon was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be, trying to hang them the way I wanted. I didn't want them straight but staggering them turned out to be a little bit of a challenge. But I just love the end result! I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the most creative person so I am pretty proud of how the letters turned out. Even though the room is very pink I really love it! I surprised myself with how much pink there is, if you know me you know I do not usually like pink. The only thing I have left to get is a lamp for her dresser. I am keeping my eyes open but have yet to find the right one. Here are a few pics;

Pic of just the letters!

Thanks to my cousin Amy, we have more than enough newborn-6 month clothes!! Her closet is full of just newborn and a few 0-3 month clothes, I also have a drawer full. :) This outfit is one that Chris and I bought her from Carter's. Its probably my favorite right now and could be her coming home outfit! We'll see if I change my mind over the next 4.5 weeks :)

We had a great time on vacation! thanks Rusty and Cindy!

....Today I had a check up with the doctor (34 weeks exactly). Everything looks good, Avery's hb was 130 and measuring right on schedule! On Sept 30 we will have an ultrasound to determine how much she weighs. :) getting close to meeting our little girl! less than 6 weeks now!!!!!

New 3d pics

We went back for another 3d ultrasound on Thursday. This time Baby Avery was almost too awake. She squirmed and moved around so much the technician almost didn't have time to focus in before she'd move again. I think I may have given her a sugar rush. Chris and I stopped by Braums and got a chocolate milkshake just before the session. She was still moving even after we left. I had heard that if you drink something cold and sweet that they will stay awake for awhile. We did get to see her do some really cute movements; we saw her open her mouth, yawn (many times), and even try to eat her hand!! She just loved sticking her fingers in her mouth, I think she was exploring. We even saw her open her eyes for just a bit. It was really amazing to watch. I could've stayed there all day and watched her move! I have a feeling she will be a very active baby!

This one is for dad; she is already a trekkie! See the vulcan sign? Live long and prosper! haha

The stuff to the left of her face is placenta tissue, the tech said that since she was so close to the uterine wall it was a bit cloudy.

Almost a smile!

Mouth open!

Got her fingers in her mouth!
