Wordless Wednesday

(Hope to post more soon!)

Welcome Baby Chapman!

Alexander Michael made his way into the world, Tuesday, June 7th at 5:57pm. Coming in at 8lbs 5oz, and 21inches long!

Everyone is doing fine! Attaching a few iPhone pics, will post some more later!

Miscellany Monday

1. Another year down.  Today is my 28th Birthday!  I'm thinking I won't be sharing with baby c, but I'm ok with that.  Everyone says that when you share with your kid that you don't actually have a birthday again.  

My first Christmas in my new Strawberry toy box!
2. If you can't tell my maternity leave has started already.  So far in a week I've read 2 books and sat at the pool, and written a blog post for almost every day!  I've been doing my best to stay cool and just relax but it's hard!
   
3. I saw these sandals at Kohl's in Red and Green but found them online in brown.  I'd change my whole wardrobe to red and green I love them so much!  If only they came in black too! (They were on sale for $13.99 this weekend so I ordered them in every color and I'll decide what to keep/return!)

4. I am starting a new quilt to keep me occupied until baby arrives.  Even though this quilt-a-long is waaaay over, I'll be doing this design since I have a jelly roll that I'm not sure what to do with.
   

5. I got my hair cut today!  I figured it would be the last time in a while before baby arrives.  I'm terrible at remembering when I last had it cut.  Since I don't like how she styled it, you'll have to wait to the weekly picture to see it.  :-)
6. My parents and my sister got me everything on my wish list (except the baby), for my birthday, I feel so blessed!  I cannot wait to use my mom agenda!  (I'm such a nerd)
7. Remember gmail as a baby book?  Well I got an email address for baby chapman. :-)  I'm holding out on the name until his arrival though.  I love the video so much I wanted to share it again.  :-)
   

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

39 Week Update!

How far along? 39 weeks - I'm still convinced we'll be holding out to at least 40 weeks (though I wouldn't complain if it was a little earlier)!

How big is baby?  7 pounds/20 inches!  About the weight of a mini watermelon.

Weight gain? 41lbs - No weight gain since last week!

Symptoms? Swelling, definitely had a few contractions lately.

Sleep?  Yuck!  Up at least 2-3 times a night to use the bathroom.  Thank goodness for naps.

Food cravings? Still anything cold, lots of popsicles and ice. 

Movement? Slowing down some this week.

Gender?  It's a boy! 

Clothes?  Maternity Pants and maternity tops and regular cardigans. 

What I am looking forward to? Almost there.  My Dr. doesn't check your progress until 39 weeks, so we'll see how it looks Wednesday at the appointment.

 

What am I missing? Standing, and sitting like a normal person.

Milestones?  Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.

Other?  We unboxed the carseat and put one base in the car.  We also put together the strollers and checked them out as well.
