How Could I Forget??

Well, I meant to do this when I finally blogged again, but I forgot, somehow! I had said on the 16th that I was going to be an aunt again very soon but I got caught up and forgot to update about that again!

Madelyn Rose Tyler was born on September 16th at 11:19 pm, weighing in at 6 lbs. 15 1/2 oz. Her mommy had said I could share pictures with everyone, but I just didn't get around to it till now, so here they are!





































We haven't gotten to see her yet since Anthony is so busy with school and everything, but I hear they are doing very well and enjoying life as a family of 3 now. Congratulations again, Jeremy and Brynn, and good job on making a cute baby! :)

Crib

And finally, here are the pictures of the crib. I think I really like it and it goes well with the style of the room, I think. So now I need to get rid of all the packaging from the crib so I can actually figure out how I want the room situated. I think I will leave it pretty much like it is now but I just need the trash out of there to visualize. :)

Now I can't wait to get a mattress (someone buy me one, haha) so I can actually get the crib baby-ready!

28 Weeks Prego Pic

And since I knew I was blogging tonight, I went ahead and had Anthony take this one, so this is 28 weeks, from today! I keep wishing my belly could be translucent for just a minute so I could just see how big she is and how she is situated in there! And if I look a little irritated, the neighbors had their music up way loud so I could hear the bass ever since I got home.... grrr.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. They'll be doing the glucose screening test, so hopefully that comes back fine and I don't have gestational diabetes. I think I would come close to dying if I had to try to control that with my diet. But hopefully we have nothing to worry about! And for the record, I still love being pregnant. :)

27 Weeks Prego Pic

Okay... here we go.... 27 weeks, this was last Monday maybe, September 22. I still get shocked when I look at these pictures! And yes, Amanda, I am wearing lounge pants, but this was right before I was going outside to pull weeds out of the flower bed, so I think lounge pants are acceptable in this case. :) You'll have to pardon the mess on the floor. That's how it looks these days with Anthony "storing" his grad school stuff out there!

New Computer & Crib

Okay! We did it. We bought a new Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. After much debate in the store, I decided to go with the laptop. I just don't like the bulkiness that desktop brings. I don't think Anthony agress with my decision, but he is a nice husband and let me make the choice since he mostly uses his school laptop. He even got it all setup for me while I was taking a nap.

And then, this evening I ran to Walmart to get groceries, and when I got back, he had taken down my old bed which was in the baby's room, so we could get the crib set up. So we also got that done tonight! I will take pictures once I am motivated. It looks really cute and goes well with the room, so I'm happy with our crib choice. And even happier with the wonderful husband I have and how helpful he is and how he puts up with me!

Now, I'm off to watch the premiere of The Office which we did not watch last night due to the presidential debate, and my falling asleep during it, haha.

Computer

Well, I've gotten behind again.... but I do have a decent excuse. I'm not sure if it would have made a difference on whether I blooged or not, but my computer died. :( I believe it was Monday evening. I was on facebook and the computer started making a funny clicking noise so I called Anthony over, and just about the time he looked over my shoulder.... blue screen of death! Anthony is super good with computers so usually if anything can be done to "save" a computer, he can do it, but he says it's a goner. So that stinks, especially since I lost everything I had on there. Tip for the day, backup your files! I had actually been thinking about needing to do that recently but it looks like I waited too long. I suppose we could spend money to try to get those files retrieved somehow, but I'm not sure I want to do that. I'll just deal with it.

So with that in mind, we are headed to Best Buy in Charlottesville tomorrow to see if we can't find a new computer. I *think* we are going to go with a desktop since it should be a little cheaper and generally they last longer and have fewer problems. I kind of would like to keep it in the office because I feel like we pay less attention to each other with the computer in the living room (which we'll still have because of Anthony's school laptop, but better just one laptop instead of two laptops). But I've been back and forth since Monday so I could change my mind again. I'll let ya know!

We may try to work on setting up the crib tomorrow as well. And of course there's the typical Saturday cleaning and grocery shopping to be done. So it should be a busy day.

Another thing I wanted to comment on.... my ticker at the top which tells me that there are only 86 days to go until Bailey comes. Starting to get freaked out a little. That's coming soon. And just about every morning this week, I have woken up feeling like I have gotten bigger overnight. So I think I'm starting to feel a little bit of the discomfort of being largely pregnant. But I am still utterly enjoying pregnancy at this point. I feel like it is such a wonderful thing that God would allow me to carry another human life inside my body. It just never gets old to me. We took some prego pics this week so I will put those up probably once we get a new computer set up.

Well, we are watching an episode of House right now, and I'm hoping to find they have posted the premiere of The Office online so we can watch that after House. We watched the Survivor premiere last night so I wasn't able to watch The Office or Grey's Anatomy. I love fall for the tv shows! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Auntness Increase!

I meant to mention in my post last night that we had a girls' night out on Thursday. We went to McAllister's and it was a lot of fun! We got to hear a lot of the details about Tyson from Summer so it was nice to get a big update and all the details like that. I don't know how they do it!

And I wanted to say that I am going to be an aunt again either tonight or tomorrow! Brynn (my BIL Jeremy's wife) had a doctor's appointment today and she was 4 cm dilated and 60% effaced and her blood pressure was high enough that they wanted to go ahead and admit her and induce her. Not sure whether the inducing will take place tonight or if they will wait until morning though. This will put me at 2 nephews and 3 nieces! I believe they are going to name her Madelyn (sp?) Rose but I'm not 100% positive of that. I'll let you know the news when she is born!

Better go get my dinner out of the oven before it burns!
