Ava's baby shower

Here are some pics from the baby shower. We had a good turn out. It was great seeing family and just eating lots of food! Ava made out with some cute outfits and much needed baby necessities! Thanks to everyone who made it out and thank you all for the wonderful gifts.

The nursery is done!

After much stripping, sanding and painting the nursery is complete, (with the expection of some pictures I want to hang on the wall.) Here are some pics! I originally wanted to do a light pastel pink but fell in love with the hot pink and lime green I saw in a Pottery Barn Kids magazine and I stole the tree mural out of the magazine as well. (I drew it and Scott painted it). This way she can keep the bedding for a while and I won't have to redo her room like we're doing with Jackson's room now. (We got rid of all of his baby bedding and are doing navy blues and reds.) Hopefully she comes out a girl because I am NOT redoing this room! :-)

Working on the nursery

Here are some pictures of Scott and Jackson working on putting together Ava's crib.

30 weeks!

Ok, Jackson was born at exactly 38 weeks so if she's a good baby like Jackson she'll be here in 8 weeks! :-) Wow, that's coming up fast!!! No changes really. I have a doctor's appointment Friday morning so I will post again then. I don't think my internal exams start until I am 34 or 36 weeks.

Anyways, I'll update tomorrow.

My buddy Casey

Yummy snack

Jackson was feeding himself yogurt and it was just too cute not to take a picture of.

Workin in the yard

These pictures are too funny. Jackson was just lounging in the wheel barrow while Scott drove him around the yard.

What a good helper

Here is a picture of Jackson helping Scott make biscuits. By the time they were ready he was covered in flour!

Third Trimester!!! UPDATE

I received a call from my Dr's office yesterday letting me know I passed my glucose test. I was so worried since I've been craving sweets with this little girl! :-)

I'm now 27 weeks!!!! I've made it to the third trimester! I had my doctor's appointment last Friday and took my glucose test. I should find out if I passed or not this week. My doctor said that my placenta previa is no longer an issue and he is not concerned about it. He also wants to see me every two weeks now! It's getting closer!!! I'm so ready for her to get here, but not too soon! I'm so uncomfortable and I'm tired of gaining weight!!!! :-) At my appointment I was 133!!! With Jackson, I was 139 at delivery! Eeek! She's making me fat! :-)

Anyways, that's my update!

Ice cream makes it all better!!!

Scott had Jackson in the laundry room with the lights off trying to scare me but ended up scaring Jackson instead! Mom had to make it all better by offering him some ice cream. It worked like a charm. Here are some pictures.

Mommy's Big Boy!

Well, last night a milestone was marked in the Samuel household. I decided out of the blue to take down Jackson's crib and put it in Ava's room. So, Jackson had to sleep in his big boy bed not only for his naps but through the night as well! I was so worried he might fall out of bed so I put pillows all around the front of the bed. He did so good! He cried around 11pm and I went to check on him and he was sitting up in bed but he was asleep. I layed him back down and he fell back to sleep. He didn't wake up again till morning. I was so proud of him! Hopefully he continues doing well!

More pics

Here are some more pics from the zoo. Jackson was a sleepy doo towards the end of the day and the last picture, I promise that's not a real beer! :-)

Visit with Grandpa Reyes, Teri and Aly

Here are some pictures from Easter. Grandpa, Teri and Alyson came to visit us last weekend. We took Jackson and Aly to the zoo. He had so much fun! He remembered all the animals from his books! He is so smart! The lion was making very loud noises and Jackson kept mimicking him. It was too funny!
