Squuueeeeee!

What was that?  That was the squealing sound I made last night when I came home and found a large cardboard box on our front steps…my baby’s bedding had arrived!   If you had been within a half mile radius you would have known that already.   We loved it online, and thankfully we LOVE LOVE LOVE it in person!

I’m a little behind on blogging, so I also need to add that we had visitors this past weekend as Grandma and Grandad came out for a few days.  It was great spending time with them, and hearing Grandad and Jexchange pilot stories.  Of course…we also did a little (ok a lot of) shopping, so thanks to their recent purchases, including but not limited to a mattress and car seat, we can now bring K home, and put him to bed!  Not a bad start if I do say so myself!

Other projects:
J and I have been busy assembling and painting planes to hang from the ceiling.  I am attempting to teach myself to crochet a blanket (gulp), and we’re starting to think about where we want to stick things on the walls.

Photos below show the bedding, a curtain stretched over the chair, and the makings of a momma made baby blanket.  (What’s that?  It looks like a big string for now?  You are correct.)  There’s a close up of his comforter, and a look at his name for the wall.  I’ve also included one shot of a plane.  Lots of fun going on these days!

K is also now incredibly active.  He rolls, kicks, and flat out dances on a regular basis.  J has gotten to feel all of the above multiple times, and I enjoy evenings when we can sit together to feel and giggle about our kickboxer.  (Ok, I giggle, J mostly just smiles.)

We’re also looking forward to an upcoming trip to Lexington to catch up with old friends and teammates, and attend a football game, (GO CATS).  K will get a shout out…more on that next week!

Mom and Dad, (aka Nana and Papaw) were up to visit this weekend.  We did some shopping Friday night, enjoyed some pizza and picture time, then hit the ground running today with work on the nursery!  Ok, so we didn’t get started until we had scarfed down some pancakes and slept in a little…but once we got moving…we were so fast!

I’m excited to show you the updates!  Mommy and Daddy bought K his crib.  We LOVE it, and are hoping it can be used for all the kiddos as a crib, and for someone as a toddler bed and eventually a full bed.  We also hope it has magical powers that help any babies in it sleep soundly through the night.  😉

Nana and Papaw bought an awesome glider and ottoman set.  It’s super comfy, and seems like a lovely place to hold a sweet little baby!

My favorite purchase may be the ceiling fan.  IT LOOKS LIKE A PROPELLER! How cool is that?  It also has a dimmer and a remote!

Nana and I also assembled a storage unit, and sorted and put away lots of awesome clothes from Auburn, shared by cousins G and W.  Lots of cute items in there!  (Even a WVU jersey for the WV crew!)

The bedding is ordered, and should be in in a few weeks.  We also have frames, his name, and decals to hang.  And a few crafts to make.  Plus lots of supplies to get and organize.  I’m tired just thinking about it.  But we got off to a great start this weekend!  Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go nap in the glider…

Let me know what you think so far!
