28 Weeks

Hello Friends!

I know, it has been forever since I blogged anything and I keep telling myself that I must get better! This is a really exciting time in our life and I know that someday I will want to be able to look back and see what all was going on and how I felt! We've been a little busy to say the least! Now, at 28 weeks, there is no hiding that I am pregnant.  I am getting bigger each day.  I have been feeling pretty well most of the time, just getting a little more uncomfortable.  The tired stage has returned and it seems like I just can't get enough sleep these days.  I'm sure this is just preparing me for Coop's arrival! Cooper is a kicker for sure and I love it! The only problem is, every time he is kicking up a storm I run and get Ryan and he...stops!! He is starting to feel him a little more each day though.  I just keep telling him, "Sorry babe! I guess he's a mamma's boy!"  At least I like to think so!  On top of all these pregnancy changes taking place, we are wrapping up basketball season and transitioning into a much more relaxed time of baseball and track season...lol....yea right!! We have no off-season and somehow we love it! I'm only hoping Cooper will learn to adjust.  At the feel of his current sleeping patterns, I don't think he'll have any problem! 


We have been doing a lot of work in the nursery and are going to make even more progress this next weekend...I hope!  If you hadn't guessed, we are doing a baseball theme in the nursery....big surprise I know! It is all starting to come together now, slowly! Here are a few pictures of the wonderful paint job that Ryan did and the fabric that we chose to do the bedding and curtains in.  Thanks to my mom, my sister, and my mother-in-law for making the bedding! I love it! 

The navy blue stripes on the bottom of the chair rail represent the outfield wall of a baseball field and the light blue on top is representative of the "sky".  A mural will be coming soon!  

We decided to go with navy blue, dark red, light blue and cream fabric! Kind of a vintage look maybe...

More pictures to come when the mural gets painted next weekend! We are so excited that we found someone to help complete the image we have in our head for Cooper's nursery!  Ryan has a big project ahead of him too that he keeps telling me he is about to work on....Hopefully there will be pictures of it coming soon! I think it's going to look great!


On another big note....it looks like I am going to be an aunt again...this time to TWINS!!! Yes, Hillary is pregnant with twins!! Below is a quote from my nephew about all the babies (He's 2 and a half).


Evan's teacher asked him if he was going to be having two babies and Evan looked at her with a "you're crazy look" and replies, No, not me, my mommy is having babies.  And Baby Cooper is in Aunt Manda's belly."


I can't wait for all the babies to be here! We are already having so much fun with cute little Baird!


Hope everyone has a great end of the week and weekend! I know I am looking forward to it!
