The Waiting Game

This week has been full of fun!!!

Hanging out with our best buds

at a sweet birthday party...

Lunching with the Little Hoodies...

An even more extra special lunch date for me with Walker at school on PJ day!!!LOTS of cuddling...And even starting to feel some contractions TODAY!!!Taking Walker and Hadlee to Build-a-Bear to make their baby brother a bear. I had my heart set on a precious brown teddy bear...Walker & Hadlee had a different choice! A camo bear!!! But he's really cute!

We recorded the baby's heart beat at our

last doctor's appointment. So now

when you squeeze this bear's hand,

we can hear baby brother's heart beat!!!Walker wanted to do the building

and Hadlee wanted to do the heart.

It was soooooooooooo sweet

watching her...A prayer for her baby brother's heart...

I think I have an excellent Big Bro

and Big Sis on my hands!!!

Taking funny pictures like this not knowing

exactly when Baby Love is going to really arrive...

And daring to post them on my blog!!!

Best of all...laughing at these two

little loves of my life!!!And just waiting for the sweet new little

addition to our family...I hear good things come to those who wait!

Can't wait to meet my newest little LOVE!!!

"Places Everyone"

In the midst of our building,

nesting, organizing and rearranging...

Haddie Girl's room got a little

bit of a make-over!

Including a BIG big girl bed!!!

She tells me every single night that she will be "waaaaaaay too cared" (scared) to sleep in her big girl bed. BUT...

So far, most nights have been pretty much sweet dreams... Her room is perfectly GIRL and I love it!!! Walker's room make-over took place months ago.
While we organize, he builds or destroys or
creates or makes MESSES!!! Actually he spends a lot of time drawing
and we love to display his works!!!
Most of all, Walker has been Daddy's #1 helper
while buiding their shop/office/garage!!!His favorite feature (since the dirt pile is gone)
...THE CODE!!!
Someday Hadlee and I will crack the secret code!
BIG time progress has been made with our
construction...notice a certain color of walls?!?Daddy taking us in Saturday afternoon to see
the finished walls and stained floors...And then, finally, Sunday night T-dawg
leading me in to see EVERYTHING finished...
completed, constructed, perfected!!!It's ALL man and it's ALL Aggie!T-Daddy has worked like no other finishing
up this bad boy!!! He has a work ethic like you've
never known! He and Walker are going to
love their escape...maybe even a little too much! We love Valis & Fore Builders!
We are working on a few finishing touches
such as a new flat screen tv, new bedding, etc...
but mostly, it's done!!!
That night when Troy took me to see his
completed project, I couldn't help but
laugh OUT LOUD when I noticed this picture
that he had proudly displayed...
he and God Mommy in my hospital
bed after Walker was born!!!
They've always been my girl b/f/f and
my boy b/f/f so I LOVE it!!!
With all of that being completed,

guess who else's room is READY?!?

Come on in...

I have used as much as I can from Walker and

Hadlee's nursery. The dresser was Troy's when

he was a baby. My mother-in-law redid the rocker

for me when I was pregnant with Walker.

The crib was Walker and Hadlee's.

My parents helped buy the bedding and the lamp.

Kelli G (Co Co) talked me into all of the brown

accents which I LOVE and I'm so happy with!

I have pictures of Big Brother & Big Sister

in all the frames for now...and of course one of

Baby Love himself in utero!!!These next two are for your laughter & enjoyment...

be sure and take a good look at the

photographer. She's hard to miss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Big Mama in da House!

The changing table belonged to my nephews

Travis and Hunter. (Travis is now 21 years old!)Walker's nursery was very fun and bright.

Hadlee's was pink and all girl.

Baby Love's room is very calm and serene to me.

I LOVE to spend time in there dreaming about

and praying for the little guy.

Sweet Beth, my blogger friend,

sent Anakin Cosmo

his very first teddy bear!!! LUV it!

Of course the closet is ready, too!!!

Clothes & necessities from sweet, sweet friends...

in real life and in the blog world (Brandi!!!).

Plus waaaay too many toys already

handed down from Big Bubs & Sister!And a very special row of clothes that

Walker wore when he was a baby...

Most of all, there is a family anxiously waiting for this little love to arrive...

And we even have him his very own football already!

Due Date, Duds and Diapers

Today was my 39 week check up at

Dr. K's!!! My very last appointment as a preggers

chick EVER!!! This is my nurse...sweet as can be!
She's been with me through all three

pregnancies! Troy and I just love her!

We adore all the ladies at Dr. K's office...and they

love us (they like T-dawg the best actually).

T-Daddy Love never missed an appointment...

...not a one...

...for THREE pregnancies in a row!

Since I am still only 1 cm dilated,

Big K (another name I've given my doctor)

told me we would induce on my actual

due date next week...

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!!

(Unless of course Baby Love changes his mind

and decides to arrive on his own before then!)This news prompted me to make sure

our bags were packed...HJP's is ready

and waiting. Check out the 'Blessing Ring'

that we ordered for our hospital door...I absolutely LOVE it and can't thank

Elaine my sweet, new friend at

http://designetcllc.blogspot.com/

for making it!!!Since Daddy or Grandmother will most likely

be dressing the two VIP's who'll be coming

to meet their baby brother...

I had to get their duds ready as well!!!

My AMAZING mother-in-law made

Walker and Hadlee the most adorable

shirts!!! Can't WAIT for the big sis

and big bro to have them on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And finally...yesterday, Hadlee and I came

home from dance to find these TREASURES!!!

Troy's wonderful work friends surprised him

with a diaper shower!

We are so overwhelmed by their

kindness and generosity!

Could there be a better gift?!?

Especially for a third baby!?!?!?!?!?!??!I'm talking 1,284 diapers and 1,000 wipes!!!

I know it's been almost four years since

my last baby, but this will get us through

the first year, RIGHT?!? ha ha!Seriously, this was such an amazing surprise!

People are so good and kind.

Troy and I are BLESSED to know

so many of the very BEST.

Praying for & waiting for

our sweet Baby Love to arrive!!!

Dancin' and Dribblin'

Sweet Pea is enjoying dance with

Mrs. Emily on Monday afternoons.

Emily was Macy's dance teacher and

also a dear friend of my sister's growing up.

Emily is wonderful and she tells me

that Hadlee is really learning!

I LOVE watching Haddie Girl dance!!!

We even got a sneak peak at the costumes

for the recital in May! Oh my Goodness!

Daddy has made it clear that his

princess is NOT to wear make-up though...

even for the recital!!!Big Man is hitting the courts again!!!
My side of the family and I love us

some basketball! And wouldn't you know

Walker's team color is Aggie maroon again!

They are the "HEAT" this year.

We scored a really cute coach, too!

Walker is off to a GREAT start and seems to

really like playing. He loves being on

a team and playing with and against his buddies!

Like these two from his class...

I must capture a photo of Walker

after he scores...

I absolutely love it because he throws his arms up

in the air and it's just pure excitement!

Come to think of it, he really does it

everytime someone on his team scores!!!

He makes me SO PROUD!!!

This little girl loves being at her Bubba's

games, too. Her favorite thing to do is

run across the court to take Walker his

water or to give Daddy a hug!

After the first game, we decided

to take that cute coach home with us!!!

I think their activities are so much fun and, more importantly, so do they!!!

Praying they always have at least one activity that they truly love and enjoy!
