countdown...

So, after my dr's appt tomorrow, I'll have a countdown started til Lexi's arrival. This pain is driving me bonkers and Lexi is sitting really low, which makes me think she'll come early on her own, but I just want a garuntee that I will be out of pain as soon as humanly (and safely) possible!! Lexi will be considered, by doctors, full-term on June 20th, so I'm hoping and praying that my doctor will induce on either the 24th or 25th, so Nick won't miss as much work, being a 3-day weekend for him. Having her here would be the best birthday present EVER, if she came before my bday, July 3rd. I'd be able to dress her up and take her to the 4th of July block party at my aunt and uncles house in Huntington, too... that would be SOO fun!! :)

Last Saturday, May 15th, was my shower and I had a blast and couldn't have more generous friends and family. I think Lexi is basically set, clothes-wise, til NEXT YEAR! haha... and I don't know if I'll ever have to buy her a stuffed animal or blanket! :) I really wish that i had pictures from the shower to share, but I haven't seen them yet, so I'll wait til someone gets them to me somehow... I think Caitlin and Tiana have pictures... and seeing that Caitlin FINALLY welcomed baby Gavin to this world today, I think she'll have her hands VERY full for a while!

The day before my shower, Nick and I went to FloJo park with my baby sister, Rachyl, and got some pictures taken... I'll post those up instead! :) I really hope things go my way and I get to welcome my baby girl into this world a month from today. She is going to be the biggest blessing to my life. I can't wait to meet her. She's definitely loved by so many already!! :)

Before I leave you with pictures, I thought I'd update on the remodel... it's ALMOST finished!!!!!!! We've got the walls painted, carpet picked out, canned lighting in, fan purchased (waiting to be installed), windows bought (also in the garage waiting to be installed)... and baseboards in!!! All that's left to do is order the closet doors and carpet, then we can move back into our room and finish the nursery. We need to order the closet doors this week, for sure, since they take 2 weeks to arrive.. then the carpet next week, I guess. We are getting down to the line and definitely running out of time before Lexi is here... Luckily, she'll be sleeping with us at the beginning... for the first 4-6 weeks. :)

and now... pictures... ENJOY!!
