Merry Christmas

We hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas. We are very blessed and thankful for what we have received this year. Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas. We have crossed the 24 week mark and are 6 months and a few days. Melissa feels huge and you can definitely tell that she is "showing and glowing."

The start of the nursery!

We started working on the nursery today and got one coat of paint down. It is going to look so good once it is done! But here are pictures of the first coat.

Yes we know it is blue and yes we are know that we are having a girl. But when you have blue carpet and blue walls there isn't much you can do with that. If you scroll down the bedding looks fabulous with this color of wall. For some reason it uploaded the pictures backwards....

Shake, Rattle, and Roll

Today we went to visit the doctor for a checkup at 22 weeks 5 days. We needed to get a picture of her face since we didn't get one on the date we had the anatomy scan. Olivia was moving all over. She was rolling all over the place. Thankfully we got a pretty good face shot and lots of other good pictures of her. We heard a nice heartbeat and saw her little heart beating at about 136 bpm. Olivia looks like she will be pretty active with those long legs. Enjoy the pictures!

Registering

Registering is hard work! Went to Target today and added more to it! So far we are registered at Babies 'R Us and Target. So much stuff is needed for a little one!!

Wardrobe

Olivia is going to have a great wardrobe! Here are some of the sweet clothes she has already received!

Some sweet running socks from the Looneys!

Some sweet sleepers!

A lot of nice things from our sweet friend Joan!

John Deere of course!

Pink Toile!!

Polka Dots!

Of course she will be a UGA fan!!

Santa Came Early

Coming home from work was so exciting yesterday. After a LONG day at work and some nasty weather yesterday, Santa surprised me with a Glider! I was so excited that I sat in it last night and enjoyed some quiet rocking time! This might be my new favorite spot.


Also we put our Christmas Tree on Sunday! Someone is already excited and is waiting for his stocking to be filled by Santa and Mrs. Claus!

The Nursery

Here is what the nursery will look like. Here is a picture of the bedding- we are stuck with some form of blue because the carpet in the room is blue and the vertical blinds in the room are blue also. But the bedding is really cute and it came this week! The crib color is called Espresso but it is NOT the color that the pictures have- it is a dark, dark brown. Nothing is assembled yet but when the room is complete pictures will be posted! We have pretty much cleaned out the room and just have a few things left that need to be moved and have to pick out some paint.
