One Giant Post

Whoa. Where do I even begin?? I think we've finally gotten to where we can say we're 'settled' in our new home. We  Cliff has worked every day/night to get things put in a place. We closed on our house on Thursday 8/15 and had to be out of our apartment that same night. Thank God for Cliff and our family because by the time I got to the apartment from work everything was out of the apartment and in the house.

We had a Uhaul that next Saturday morning and with the help of all of our parents, siblings and friends we were able to finally get all of our stuff from the four places that it was all scattered around greater Nashville. By the time they had all left most everything was already put away for us! I actually did much better with the moving process than I had thought I would. It didn't really hit me how tired I was until this week so I've been trying to recoup! 

Oscar joined our moving day madness but was not happy about his mom leaving him or the fact that he wasn't big enough to see her out the window 

After everyone had left on Saturday I desperately needed a nap, and apparently Missi did too. She's becoming more and more attached to me and my ever growing belly with each day. 

There are so many things about this house that I love but one is the bathtub. Our last house was a house Cliff shared with 2 other guys when I met him and I had seen that tub at an all time low and couldn't seem to get that picture from my head no matter how many times I bleached. So, this is my first real bath tub in several years. Needless to say I've been enjoying a bath almost every night! However, Missi thinks it's her own personal water fountain. 

My co-worker threw me a sweet baby shower at work for Hudson 2 weeks ago. I was able to stock up on some diapers/wipes and some more cute little outfits. 
Please disregard my hair that desperately needs to be cut/redone

Tuesday marked exactly 4 weeks until my due date. Cliff and I went to the doctor for my 36 week appointment/ultrasound on Wednesday. Everything with Hudson and I are great! He's in he 85th percentile for weight already weighing in at approximately 6.5 lbs. Now, the tech and my doctor assured me that is an estimate and that those machines really don't get an accurate read. But, either way he's a big boy! His head is down and I'm dilated to 1 cm. I wish we had gotten some better ultrasound pictures but the poor guy is so cramped in there already he had to have a foot in his face. Quite the limber little man! We were also able to see quite a bit of hair on the ultrasound, not that I'm at all surprised about that!

Here's his profile picture. He was sucking his mouth like crazy so he was hard to capture! I'm starting to get very anxious to meet him. It's crazy how much you can love and know every single thing about someone but never have met them before. 

We finally got his baby furniture that we had ordered back in April delivered and set up in his room. The room is far from finished but at least we've made a dent in it. Although his room is on the other side of the house I plan on him being in his bed after a short time. I know, not everyone will agree with me on that one! 
Thank goodness for great friends. My friend Felicia came over the Monday after we moved in and painted his room, and then came back to paint a wall in our bedroom. She and my other friend Jennie also took some maternity pictures that I'm pretty excited to see! Below are a few pictures of the room from a few days ago. More has happened since but I'll wait until it's finished to take more pictures. 

I put the below picture on Instagram but it continues to make me laugh. Missi is having a really hard time resisting any stuffed animals that are for her brother. I decided to go ahead and put them out the way I wanted them and she will just have to learn the hard way. In this picture she looks like she's happy but she's actually whining. She must have been really mad because shortly after this when she went out to go potty at the end of the night she took off from both Cliff and I with no thoughts of coming back inside. After several spankings she's finally left them alone...for now. 

That little wagon his Aunt Erica and Uncle Carson made for him, isn't it adorable?

That's about all I can fit in one post for now! I'll try to get better about updating but for obvious reasons things are slightly crazy in our house right now, and soon to get even crazier!
