Tulsa Baby Shower

We had such a good time while we were in Tulsa for my baby shower!  It was my last trip I could take before the baby gets here.  Mike and I drove in with Barley and stayed for about a week.  The whole family was there and my parents were even able to join us too.  It was a busy week.  We celebrated Roman's 4th birthday, my baby shower, and got in some lake time too!  My parents got to spend some time at the lake and go on some cold boat rides with us. Mike's aunts Janell, Jill, and cousin Jessie hosted a wonderful baby shower for me.  It was so much fun and Ashley's mom even got to come celebrate with us too.
Me and my sista in laws:)  Ashley is pregnant too and will be expecting Hudson about 2 weeks after us.

I love this picture with Pam and her mom.

Nursery

I have loved putting together Emmett's nursery.  I really enjoyed painting his letters and the ABC box that is sitting on his toy storage.  My friend Sabrina gave us her crib which looks brand new and is beautiful!  I found the glider in a neutral color which was not easy to find!  I've kept the colors pretty basic with neutral grays and different color blues.  It is so cozy and comfy.  There is definitely an airplane theme but I am also adding in animals in gray colors. 
Emmett is the name!!!!!

Airplane themed bedding

I love these curtains and his toy storage area

I added on new knobs to the dresser and I love the airplane light (from my mom) and airplane bank (from Mark, Whitney, and kiddos)

Basement Renovations

We decided to start the basement remodel before the baby got here.  A little bit crazy but we are so happy to have the additional space now and new bathroom.  It was nice to have the mess downstairs and not be living in it.  I could just close the door to the basement and it didn't even feel like there were renovations going on:)  We moved around several rooms too which has been nice.  We changed one of the rooms on the second floor to an office, switched around a guest bedroom, and then added on another guest room in the basement.  I could not be happier with the basement and I'm so happy to have everything finished before the baby gets here!

Pregnancy

I'm so happy I've been tracking with pregnancy pictures.  It's so fun to see how much I've grown in the last 9-10 months.  I still can't believe that this little miracle of a baby has grown and is almost ready to get here!  I'm at 39 Weeks and feeling every bit of it:)  Mike had to head out today for one last day of training in Ohio.  We are just hoping and praying he will be here for labor.  I'm very blessed to have my brother staying with me while Mike is gone.  I also have neighbors checking in on me and Mike's mom will get here Monday and my mom will be here on Wednesday.  Very excited to meet this lil' man!
