Oh Snap....

Amelia is just about done cooking. After Sunday, Thea is technically full term and if Amelia decides she's had enough time in her mom, well that's just fine. :-)

Amelia is still getting a few gifts here and there. Yesterday a married couple at Thea's office gave Amelia the cutest little pink Adidas track suit. I can wait to see her run around the house in it. On Monday, Amelia received what I think is one of the coolest gifts a baby could receive. Below you'll see pictures of the raddest crochet crab ever created. Our friend Mindy asked her friend Sasha to make it. Sasha crochets various animals and creature, but the crab by far takes the cake. Thea wouldn't leave the poor crab alone Monday night. I wonder what Amelia will name her little friend.

From behind you'd never guess Thea is pregnant, but once she turns slightly to the left or right, there's the belly. Last night while rubbing some belly butter on Thea, I notice her belly button is all but gone. It's super cute!! Amelia has been getting the hiccups quite a bit lately. I told her to slow down when she eats, but she's too much like her mom to listen. :-) It’s crazy to think how big she is right now and how you can easily find her in the belly. Just feel for the hard spot, it’s either her head or butt.

Next Wednesday we've got our 36 check up and possible ultrasound. EXCITING!! If we get the ultrasound you'll definitely be seeing the pictures.

Have a good weekend everyone!

6 Weeks Left!!

That's right kido's, only 6 short weeks left before Amelia arrives. This past weekend Thea and I knocked out 90% of the nursery. The crib is up, the dresser was finished and Amelia's cloths got organized. We've still need to pick up a shag rug and decide on whether we're putting up shelves or a mirror above the dresser. These are big decisions that will shape our daughters life. HA!

With the color and butterfly theme we went with, it’s been pretty hard to find bedding that goes well with the room. Fortunately Thea is any amazing seamstress has been a sewing machine the past few days. She made the crib bumper, crib skirt and is working a quilt. Once the quilt is finished I hear she’s plans on making cushions for the rocking chair. Thea is already a wonderful mother. 

This morning I learned that Thea will be able to stay home with Amelia threw most of February. That's so awesome! I think it’s very important for Thea to be with our Amelia as much as possible, not only for Amelia but for us too.
