Nursery reveal

Little Buckaroo's nursery is almost done. Here are the photos:

The crib, stars we painted and the canvas I painted

Close up of the canvas I painted

Display shelf - not quite finished

Our glider and window treatments I made and sister made the cow blanket

Changing station - Thanks Carol for Dean's flag sign!

Love my polka-dot lamp!

Another canvas I painted with the prayer I used to say every night before bed

Derek insisted that we display his treasured Chuck Norris signed photo. I got polka dots and he got Chuck.

We are so excited to use this room when Dean arrives! It could be anytime now, I can't believe it! We're due in 2 weeks. I wonder when little man's birthday will be? We are ready to meet him and we are ready to become parents.

Update and more showers

I'm still on bed rest. Its actually been nice to rest and be waited on. I'm getting my morning/afternoon TV shows in and trying to catch up on some reading...ahem - pop culture gossip. If you have any suggestions of things to do while on bed rest, let me know! For those that do not know, I have had high blood pressure so I was told to stay home from work and rest. We had another sono last week and Dean was healthy and all results came back normal. I go in tomorrow for a non-stress test. Please keep us in your prayers.

Last weekend I had to great showers! I couldn't have chosen a better weekend to have 2 showers (while on bed rest)! But it took my mind off of things and was a wonderful time with family and friends!
My dear friends Caroline, Katie and Kristen and their mom's threw us a terrific cowboy themed shower on Saturday. I have the best friends a girl could ask for! Love you all!

On Sunday, our small group at church hosted a shower as well. It was so much fun! We love our small group and class at church. Thank you for showering us and making us feel so loved.

Lots of pictures ahead - I couldn't choose just a few so here are several.

100% chance of baby showers!!

We have already been blessed with a few showers. First my lovely co-workers threw me a shower during work hours. Thanks ladies for all the goodies! You all are such great friends!

Thanks Jodi for the cute diaper cake!

Derek's work threw him a book shower. Such a great idea and now we have lots of books to read to Dean. Thank you to all of Derek's co-workers for making us feel so special!

This past weekend our dear friends, the Yorks, threw us a diaper party. We received diapers, wipes and lots of baby necessities. It was a wonderful celebration with family and close friends. Thanks Janet and Matt for being great hosts! The food was so yummy and that diaper cake was beautiful! We love you! I didn't get pictures of everyone because our camera died. Thanks to the Lufts for driving up for our shower! Can't wait to see you all this weekend!

Mom and Dad

Brother Ryan and girlfriend Elizabeth - we missed you sister C!

Pearces and Yorks

Isn't Caroline so cute? I look huge - Caroline is due exactly 3 months after me - so excited to have little buddies to play together!

Katie and baby Reagan - he is a doll! Reagan and Dean will be close in age too! So excited for all the play dates to come.

Ranger gear - I'm sure daddy and Dean will have lots of bonding time during all those Ranger games.

Thanks you all for our wonderful gifts! More showers to come, we are so blessed.
