Waiting on Baby!

Monday after Josh and I took the maternity pictures we went to Build-a-Bear. I thought it would be cute if we made a little bear for Avery. Josh picked out a bunny for her, it's really soft! It was cute, they had us each make a wish and put a heart in the bunny, one for her mom and one for her dad. Josh had fun, cleaning her off...he is such a good sport! I know a lot of men would not do stuff like this for their daughters. The final product!

Hopefully Avery will like it, I was thinking she could use it as her lovey or something like that.

When we got home that evening, Wal Mart called and said Avery's stroller, car seat and swing had arrived for pickup. So Josh and I went out again in the FREEZING cold to get her stuff. This is her daddy putting together the stroller.Here I am trying to figure out her swing.

Ta-Da! I picked out neutral colors for her car seat and stroller so we can use it for another baby. We had to try out her new stuff with her bunny!

This swing is pretty cool. You just set the car seat in it, and it swings, vibrates and plays music. It was about half the price of the regular swings, and most babies LOVE their car seats.

Her stroller is really neat too. We got the travel system, so the car seat fits in it while she is little. After she outgrows the car seat, it is just a regular full sized stroller.

While we were out last weekend, I picked up some of the finishing touches for Avery's room. Josh got everything hung and put together while I was at work this week. We decided to put together her dresser, I was able to arrange the room where everything fits. She also has SO many clothes, we needed it to help store everything! I found these little baskets at GardenRidge and they match her room perfectly, I just have to figure out what to put in them!

Here is a picture of her changing table in the corner, with another shelf and baskets over top of it. I plan on storing some of her diapers and diaper changing stuff in those baskets. Josh was funny, he had regular mounting screws to put the shelves up with, but he had to go back to Home Depot to get the super strong reinforced ones so the shelves wouldn't fall on his baby girl :) He is going to be such a good daddy!

Here is just another shot of her crib.

I had four days off last week and we got A LOT of stuff done. I got all of her bedding, blankets and clothes washed. We put up the pack-n-play in our room, that is where she will be sleeping right after she is born. I have my hospital bag mostly packed. We got her stroller and swing put together, Josh just needs to install the car seats in the car. I am 36 weeks and 3 days now, I know the next few weeks will fly by, that is why I wanted to get as much done before hand as possible.

That is pretty much all that we have been up to lately...getting things ready for Miss Avery. It has been FREEZING here all week, so we haven't gotten out of the house very much. We are going to go to church today, then I have to work tonight. I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, as well as my work baby shower...I will try to post after those. Other than that we are just waiting on baby!
