Nursery Time and the Hiccups

Aunt Ginny and I did some major shopping for the nursery and are planning a long afternoon of decorating tomorrow. I can't wait to have something some together. Aunt Katie's new room has a fresh coat of paint and looks great. We are still moving furniture around between the bedrooms - just can't seem to get situated. Biggest project for the decorating day will be Ginny putting together the drum shade ceiling light that Woody at Lowes helped us get all the parts for. If we live to see it, I will definitely put pictures up.

My belly hasn't grown much more but Baby Wesson is catching up. I can feel him playing pretty much anytime I sit still. I think he had the hiccups last night about 3:30am. I haven't felt this kind of movement before, but boy did it tickle! I couldn't help but lay there and laugh!

A little progress

I made a little progress this weekend on the nursery... I painted these boxes for his diapers, wipes, etc. to go next to his changing pad. They are cute, just don't know if they are going to fit in Aunt Ginny's vision. If not, there is always the bathroom!

Baby Shower

I don't have a bunch of pictures because, of course, I forgot my camera. Lyndsey King hosted a baby shower this weekend for the three crazy, pregnant girls in her life - Megan, Brittney and me. We had so much fun laughing and snacking. Memory Lane was wide open and hilarious. Good thing no one's parents were there or somebody might have ended up grounded for something they did over 6 years ago! In addition to the guests of honor and the host, Caroline came from Memphis, Julie and Reannan came from Nashville and Emily came from Birmingham!!! So glad everyone could make the trip!

24 weeks

Not that this is a milestone, but I put together Wesson's bassinette all by myself! You know I can't wait for someone else to do something for me. It was delivered last week right before I was leaving for the River, and I have been itching to see it since. We went for the neutral ecru so its ready for blue blankets now and maybe some pink blankets later ;)

On another note, I had my 24 week appointment yesterday. My blood pressure was a perfect 114/76 and I haven't gained as much weight as I thought. We don't go back until Sept. 8 - a whole 5 weeks! I think he is saving his weight lecture for me to really gain some major weight. It has to happen sooner or later. Feeling good about myself, I ate a piece of square pizza, a side of fried okra and a piece of Holy Cow cake today for lunch at the hospital. Thats what happens when I have to eat at work for meetings! For the record, it wasn't even that good.

Wesson at the Wedding

Wesson had a big weekend with Mama being on vacation Wednesday-Sunday, Katie here, parties, dancing, late nights and great food! The wedding was beautiful and seeing all of our friends was awesome. Here are a few of his pictures....
