She's here!

We were blessed with a healthy baby girl! Aviana Elise was born on 9.24.10 at 2:48pm. She was 7lbs 6oz, 20.5 inches long. She is a wonderful baby and we are loving every moment with her. Jerry had to go back to work today so we miss him lots but are looking forward to spending the evenings with him! Here are a few pics of Aviana. Enjoy!

The week has come...

This is the week we meet our little girl! September 24th at 3pm! I honestly cannot believe the time has come because it feels like yesterday it was January 23rd and I had just found out I was expecting. Now almost exactly 8 months later we get to see what we have created. Jerry is beyond excited to see his daughter and get to hold her for the first time as am I. I'm sure the day will fly by but I hope to have the most incredible memories from the experience. I will be sure to post pics when I can after I get home and settled sometime next week. Please keep us in your thoughts as we enter into the next stage of our lives, becoming PARENTS!

Only 2 weeks left!!

36 weeks 5 days...







I have finally hit full term! YAY! The many prayers my family and friends have said for us have worked. I made it! There were many times we were scared that Aviana would make her appearance WAY early but thankfully she stayed put and has been growing right on track. We are currently scheduled for a c-section on September 24th after making the decision that I may not be able to handle labor with the back problem I currently have. I have finally come to terms that I will not be able to labor her but am hopeful that the next baby might be able to come with a normal delivery. Jerry and I are beyond excited to meet our little girl and can't believe we only have 2 more weekends with a quiet house. Oh how things are going to change but change for the better!

A little belly love...

A good friend who does photography gave me a session for my shower gift and these are a few of the shots she was able to get! We went to Schnepf Farms where they have all kinds of fun things. My favorite is the one with the red building. It was EXTREMELY humid that morning because there was a storm the night before so I was drenched but in all she was able to get some fun shots that I will cherish for years to come. Thanks Lisa!

5 more weeks :)

Quick update on how we are doing...

I'm currently 34.5 weeks and CAN'T wait to be done. It seems that Aviana may make an appearance early but I'm not holding my breathe just yet. I am currently still working but that may be coming to an end soon. Not sure how I feel about it but will do whatever needs to be done to ensure she arrives safely. I will update more on that later this week or next.
Above is a pic from over a week ago. I have more to post from her room but am waiting until this weekend to post those. Still a few more things I need to get done! This pic has her crib, which I adore, and the letters that 2 of my girlfriends and I made. They turned out so cute! (Thanks Ali and Heather)
She will be here soon and we are SO excited to finally meet her. And lucky for me, I'm not nervous just yet. More excited to see what her delivery will be like. It will be such an amazing experience no matter the outcome, so I am eager to see how it all plays out.

Love to all. <3

Baby stuff

I thought I would do a quick post of a few things we have purchased for the little lady's room! A while ago I ordered her crib bedding from Amazon. We initially were going to do pink, green and ivory for the nursery colors but after searching for the perfect bedding to go with this theme, the more I didn't like the colors. I LOVE the color green but was a little overwhelmed by having so much pink in her room. I am not a huge pink fan, never have been and I'm sure never will be! So....after looking through a catalog and seeing this bedding set I fell in love with, I decided to go way "out of the box" and get it. When I say "out of the box" I mean, not your typical girly colors! Nonetheless, I ordered it and hope I still love it once the crib arrives. Here is a pic...(I only got the crib bedding, bumper, dust ruffle and quilt, I may order more stuff once all put together)















I will wait to post about the crib furniture since it will be here at the end of this month (fingers crossed)! It is SO cute and I can hardly wait to see it. :)



Now for the rocker...

We initially fell in love with a Pottery Barn rocker but after doing the pricing it was WAY too expensive! So I researched online and found one for a much better price. It should be here tomorrow and I am excited to have Jerry put it together this weekend so I can try it out! We ordered the slipcover in beige, but if we don't like it I will take it back and get the chocolate one.
