The past couple of days we’ve had a visitor.
I babysat for our friends Lindsay and Jeremy. This is their little cutie pie Tate. I wish I had a better picture, but he his constantly on the move so this was about as good as I could do. Emma really enjoyed having him around, she liked being the “boss” and “helping” me. I think it was good practice for both of us.
Here is what Wesley and Emma will be wearing to greet their new baby sister.
Emma was so excited when I showed hers to her that she had to wear it.
I really have been good about buying clothes for Ava. I love to shop for clothes, especially kids clothes, but I really haven’t bought that much for her. However I couldn’t resist these cute Carter’s coordinating outfits for Emma and Ava.
We got Emma’s bed this week and I’m happy to report that she has done great! She has slept in it the past two nights with no problem!
I will be painting Ava’s crib and the changing table this weekend.
Sigh.
I will be so happy to have everything ready because I am TIRED! Hope to have the room put together early next week. Of course I will be taking some pictures.

We are really getting excited around here about Ava Charlotte’s arrival. This pregnancy has gone by really fast so far. Although I’m very aware that this is the part where it starts to feel like it will never happen and you will be pregnant for the rest of your life.
We finally ordered Emma a bed. It should be here this week, so I will be sure and post some pictures when it gets here. We decided to go with a toddler bed for now. We plan on buying them matching twin beds later. I would like for them to share a room for a long time. I think it will be good for their sisterly bonding.
We have also been shopping for a double stroller and I think I’ve decided on this one.
It is a double stroller that also converts to a sit and stand. I love this color, but unfortunately I think it is out of stock so I will probably end up with a black one.
I would also love to get a car seat cover. I’ve dicovered that you can spend a small fortune on these. I like this one, but I also found some cute ones here.
This is also something I’m considering getting. I didn’t have one with Wesley or Emma, but I think one would really come in handy.
It’s a nursing cover if you aren’t familiar.
Please feel free to give me any advice on this stuff, or if there is something else that I “have” to have for Ava.

Wesley has had a busy week at school. They had testing, and everyday after school he went to football camp. He had a really great time and I think he learned a lot.
Today they had their games. Each grade broke up into two teams and they played against each other. Wesley’s team ( the Packers) didn’t win. The other team ( the Colts) won by two touchdowns. Obviously Wesley did not get to choose his team name! Ha!
Soooo close.
Wesley is so precious. He just melts my heart.
Emma cheered her heart out for her brother on the sidelines.
Good Job Wesley!

Sooooo here I am again.
Still pregnant.
I think my belly looks kind of pointy in this picture.
- I’m having a hard time sleeping at night.
- I HEART ice cream.
- I’m having some really strong Braxton Hicks. They hurt!
- I read some where that at this point the baby sleeps 90-95% of the time. It doesn’t feel like it.
- Either my hormones are going crazy or I am. Not sure which.
I went to the doctor this morning and everything looks good. When we got home Emma took a nap. This is when I would usually catch up on laundry, unload the dishwasher, or do something productive but instead I decided to just be lazy. After all I’m pregnant and I think that’s a pretty darn good exscuse to be lazy every once in a while. I took a bubble bath and a nap and….
Did I mention I heart ice cream?

We had a nice visit with my Dad and stepmom today also known as Gammy and Papaw. Even though they moved closer to us when they moved to Asheville, NC they have somehow managed to stay snowed in or sick since Christmas!
We hung out, played outside, went to lunch and played Rockband together.
I love Emma’s smile in this picture. She has finally started smiling when we ask her to for pictures.
Emma rocked it out on drums.
Cutest guitar player ever!
Emma and Olivia had fun playing together.
Cutie pie!
I finally finished painting our bedroom furniture.
Here’s a little before and after for ya.
Our bedroom has never been a priority as far as decorating goes. It’s pretty boring. We don’t even have any curtains up and we’ve lived here for almost 2 years. I’m trying to finally make it look decent. I’m shopping for new bedding, curtains, and lamps. I’ve also got some ideas to display some of our beach pictures. It will probably take a little while before I finish it because Emma and Ava’s room is a little more important at the moment.

Here are my favorite pictures from our maternity photo shoot that we did earlier in the week. Eric’s photography friend Jason came over and helped us with our pictures and Eric helped him with his wife’s maternity pics. She is due on the same day that I am. We had a great time and I love the pictures.
We can’t wait to meet our sweet little Ava Charlotte!
