Rosemary's Nursery

Rosemary's room was the last "untouched" room in the house because I wanted to take some pictures of her nursery and of her in her nursery before we packed it all up. I finally got around to that today with not much time to spare. I love how they turned out and I hope she'll always know how much love was put into her nursery and how excited we were to bring her home to it, even if she never even spent a night in there!

She loves to chew on her hands!

And one of our sweet girl ready for bed tonight!

Getting Ready for Baby!

We kicked off Spring Break with a fun day in Dothan. We did some shopping for Baby Sister, ordered her car seat, and the girls both picked out a present for her. She'll be here before we know it!  

Chuck E Cheese

I can't believe I'm 39 weeks pregnant, I really thought Charlotte would be here by now! I've gained about 34 pounds now. I actually feel pretty good, but I do have a hard time getting comfortable at night. I still have on my wedding rings, which is a miracle to me. I had to retire them at about 36 weeks with Julia. I was scheduled to be induced tomorrow, but backed out tonight. As anxious as we are to meet Charlotte, I'm going to wait it out until my due date on Friday before I schedule to be induced. 

39 Weeks

Squeeeze!

We took Julia to Chuck E Cheese this afternoon. That has quickly become one of her favorite places. I don't think a day goes by that she doesn't ask to go to the castle (Disney) or Chuck E Cheese.

Riding the merry go round

She got stickers, a crown ring, and of course, a whistle and spider with her tickets! I'm soaking up every second before our family of three becomes four! 

American Girl

Julia got her first American Girl catalog in the mail today. Since we got back from church Julia has been alternating between "loving" Caddy, riding her rocking horse, and picking out a baby! 

I had a doctor appointment this afternoon. The verdict is, I'm still pregnant! Charlotte is nice and cozy in there. Dr. Pollard did say he could induce me on Monday, but I'm still a iffy about it. I have until Sunday night to make a decision, so I guess we'll see how I feel then!

Happy Labor Day!

Well, today was labor day, but unfortunately I didn't spend it labor! We've had a pretty lazy day. We ran some errands, went for a ride in the Jeep and got some lunch.

 

Michael took this picture when I was getting ready this morning. I got the chair from the desk to sit in while I was straightening my hair. It wasn't very long before Julia got her chair and a brush and was sitting next to me doing her hair! :)

 We went to Milano's for lunch today. I had the eggplant parmesan in hopes of inducing labor. No luck so far though!

I wanted a cheeseburger for dinner so we set out for Ruby Tuesday's since Annie's was closed today. We didn't make it there before Julia was out so we opted for Dairy Queen to go instead. When Julia woke up she ate some of my leftover chicken tenders and dipped them in Michael's sweet and sour sauce. A few minutes later I noticed that her fingers and around her mouth were red. I guess it's an allergic reaction to the sweet and sour sauce. We tried to give her some benadryl, but I'm not sure how much she actually took. Ever since they tried to give her liquid loratab after she had her adenoids out she has NOT liked to take medicine. That must have been some bad stuff!

You can see the red around her mouth a little here.

 

It's back to schcool and work for all of us tomorrow, unless Charlotte decides she wants to grace us with her presence! :)

It's Football Season!

Football season is finally here!  Auburn kicked off their season with Clemson tonight. It was not the win we were hoping for, but the good news is there's lots of room for improvement! 

When we were getting dressed this morning I noticed that Julia was unaccounted for and quiet, which usually means she's up to something. I found her in Charlotte's room "cleaning". I walked in and she said "Ta da! Look what I made, Mommy!". There was a box of carpet deodorizer on the dresser and she emptied the entire box on the floor. When we walked in the house tonight you immediately smelled it! After she spread it on the floor she got the little scrubber I was using to clean up spots and said "Mommy, I cleaning Baby Charlottes room". 

Ta da! 

Of course we had to vacuum it all up. Michael got the vacuum and tried to do it himself, but Little Miss Independent insisted on doing it.

 We had to get our annual "First Day of Football Season" picture. I thought these would get easier with time, but I'm not so sure about that! :)

38 Weeks

This afternoon we went to Cheeburger Cheeburger for lunch so we took the top off the Jeep.

Sharing a mango milkshake!

Cool girl with her sunglasses on upside down! 

 It didn't take very long before she was out! 

This afternoon Julia and I made a dip and "Tiger Tails" to take to Nana and Pop's for the game tonight. She loves to help me in the kitchen. 

We made a blueberry cheesecake dip with orange sugar crystals on top. Julia used the whole bottle of orange sugar crystals! 

Sneaking a marshmallow...or two! 

Copying what her Daddy was doing to try to get her to smile!
