Shift Change and Baby Crib

Yesterday my supervisor finally gave me a start date for my shift change. On March 9th I will begin working Monday through Friday 3-11pm. I'm so excited! It will be great to actually have Saturday off. It's going to be great with the baby.

Speaking of baby, Jon has taken on the task of refinishing the crib. The crib we are using happens to be my crib from when I was a baby. It works great and fits the guidelines, however, because it has been in the attic all these years, the finish is coming off or is completely off in places. He is going to sand it all down and stain it. We are going to stain it a darker color than what it used to be. I'll try to get pictures up of the crib when I have a little more time. I actually have to leave for work in 5 minutes. :)

Well that is my quick little update. Hopefully Jon has plenty of time to do both the crib and his school work.

MUCH LOVE!

Baby Shower

Yesterday was my baby shower. My sis-in-law planned it for me and it was awesome! It was so much fun and I got so many great gifts! Our little one got so many cute little sleepers, blankies, books, and care items. I was overwhelmed when I got home and had to decide where to put everything! Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful gifts!!

Here are a few pictures from the event! Enjoy!

The ladies had to guess how big around I am using toilet paper.


Everyone was busy working on matching prices with baby products.


We all received a little onesie pin that Kelly had made. If we said the word "baby" whoever heard us say it would receive our pin. Needless to say, Marcia, my mother in law, was REALLY good at catching people. She ended up with 7!


Me with all my wonderful gifts! You can't tell, but there were TONS!



Me with a few of my close high school friends.




Even Jon's grandma Gloria came to the shower! If you haven't met Gloria yet, you really should, she is a hoot!

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures.

MUCH LOVE!!

Hello!

This morning we awoke to snow. This is the most snow I have ever seen living in Pittsburgh during the winters. Needless to say, I'm tired of the white stuff.


Last night I found out that I for sure am getting the Monday thru Friday 2nd shift position. I'm very happy about that. It means I have a real weekend. It will also be nice once the little one is here because we can have family day on Saturdays. I can't wait!! My supervisor just has to give me a start date. Yahoo!

Baby is doing well. She kicks like crazy through out the day. I have another doctors appointment a week from today. I'm getting so excited for her to come. My friends are all delivering their little ones and it just makes me more and more excited for the big day. It's amazing how Jon and I went from "What are we going to do? We aren't ready for a baby!" to "When will she get here! We can't wait!"

Jon is doing very well in school. It's amazing how much he is enjoying it and how smart he is. I always knew he was smart, but to see him get A's on Accounting and Math exams just blows my mind! I'm a very proud wifey!

Well sorry about how long it has taken me to update the blog. Hope this updates everyone!

MUCH LOVE!

Baby, Registry, Superbowl, School

This morning I actually woke up early so I decided to update the blog.

On January 29th, Jon and I went to my first sonogram. It was really neat to see the baby. I can't believe how developed the baby is at 22 weeks!! It's amazing! The doctor wasn't able to get a perfect picture of the gender parts, but she is pretty confident that the baby is a girl. We are thrilled!! (Even tho we would have been thrilled with a boy too!) She is healthy and growing right on track!! It's crazy to think that today I am 23 weeks along which means I'm 7 weeks away from being only 10 weeks away from being due. June 3rd could not come fast enough. We are so excited to meet our little one!!

Jon and I registered at Babies R Us that week as well. That was a totally different experience from when we registered for our wedding. LoL. It's very overwhelming trying to decide what you REALLY need for baby and what you WANT for baby. We made it through tho and I think we have a good list. I still add to it every now and then. I should probably stop doing that. LoL.

Sunday we were thrilled to watch our Steelers win their 6th!!! Superbowl!!! We could not be prouder to be Pittsburghers!! It was an excellent game and shame on you if you didn't watch!

Well Jon is still busy with school. It's good that he has something to do every day. His classes are going well according to him. We shall see how he does on his midterms. LOL. I'm glad HE is in school and not me! LoL!

That's all from over here in Wexford. Just the same ol' same ol' going on. We are all looking forward to warmer weather. Hopefully it comes soon!

MUCH LOVE!
