Laundry

I am washing my first load of baby clothes. I don't know why that excites me, but it does!

Baby Luncheon Fiesta!


This weekend was our friend Marshall's wedding in Anniston, Alabama, so Rebecca, Meredith, Ashley and Lillian were able to finally come visit Birmingham again (it's been 2 years since last time). To celebrate Liam's upcoming arrival (in 8 weeks by the way), we had a baby luncheon at La Paz (and just in La Paz's defense, their fajitas did sizzle). It's was really fun, mostly because I love getting to see my friends and opening presents!!! Below are some pics of the presents I got. They were all wonderful, and I can't wait to use them with Liam! Thank you so much!!


Bib and burp cloth from Lillian. So cute!


Fireman onesie from Lillian! I hope Liam likes firetrucks as much as his dad!


Aubie bottle tote from Mrs. Debbie. This is so cute and one of Dow's favorites!

Diapers and beautiful blankets from Ashley! And no, I'm not using cloth diapers all the time. I may use them every once in a while, but I've heard they make good burp cloths that I can bleach.

The bath sea horse from Meredith! It neh's! I can't wait to use this!!


An adorable jumper from Rebecca. I think Liam's lady friends will like this one!
Thanks again everyone! This weekend was so fun. See you at the Sip-n-See in Bastrop around September!

Heat Wave

I am SO hot all the time now. I feel like my clothes are melting onto my body. Although I know it's not a pretty site, I really want to sit in my office in my undies with 10 fans blowing directly in my face with an ice pack on my lap. I don't know how I'm going to make it through July and remain clothed. I should move to a nudest camp.

Just call me Sweaty McGhee.

I Love Surprise Baby Showers!


Today, the other "lady lawyers" I work with surprised me with a baby shower lunch. It was really sweet! We went to O'Carrs, ate girl food like chicken salad and fruit, and just talked. I also got a huge bag of goodies with a TON of stuff that I needed! Bath stuff, blankets, crib sheets, a teether, swaddles, lining pads, a cute basket! Thank you Kelly, Leanna and Tracy SO MUCH!!

I Have a Blog?

I'm starting to forget that I have blog.......

Here is a recap of the last couple of weeks. I am officially 8 months pregnant now. I feel like I am 45 months pregnant. The third trimester is definitely not my favorite. I wish I could fast forward until about July 15, but since I can't TIVO life, I'll have to wait it out.

I have done absolutely nothing for the nursery so far other than buy things. Nothing is up. I've got a lot to do in June. The window treatments are finished though, and they look great (and they fit...thank God). The bumper will be done soon, and I can finally start getting this nursery together. I've also decided that, in the meantime, I should reupholster everything in my house and have speciality pillows made, do crown molding, paint, rehang shutters, replace our front wall/window, find an antique chandelier for our bedroom, etc. I think nesting has hit!

Liam has so many clothes it's unreal. I've hung all his little outfits up in his closet based on size. I do need to pick up some more "around the house" type clothes and those little gowns. I'll do that when I'm redoing my house and the other 800 things on my to-do list.

Dow has been spending his time reorganizing/building closets in our basement. We are trying to maximize our storage space with Liam coming. A 2/1 is not the ideal size for 3 people, but we'll make it work. I really don't want to move because I love our house and neighborhood so much.

We had our 4D ultrasound last week. It was really neat to see an idea of what Liam will look like. He is sunny side up though, so let's hope he turns before delivery.

This weekend friends are staying with us for a wedding. It should be really fun! Next weekend is my baby shower, and I'm really looking forward to that.

I'll try to be a better blogger from now on!

I Passed!!

No gestational diabetes for me!! I am so happy because my next step would have been daily blood sugar monitoring, and I really have no idea how to do that.

Other highlights from my appointment today:

Size-We are measuring to "the dot," according to the doctor. I think Liam weighs about 3 lbs now.
Weight- On track. I've gained 22 lbs, so that leaves me with 8 lbs to go before I'm over my suggested gain amount of 25-30 lbs.
BP- 116/70, so in the normal range. Yay for no preclampsia!
Liam's Heartbeat- 143, which was right on track.
Liam's Movement- All the time now.

I start going to the doctor every two weeks now. My 4d ultrasound is next Thursday, and I'm looking forward to it. I have to say the ultrasounds are the best part of pregnancy. It's so neat to actually "see" your baby!
