I admit....

Let's see....last fall the hinge on our laptop broke so we ordered a replacement part and did research on how to fix it. I admit I have been dragging my feet to let Jeff attempt to fix it -- I was convinced we would break the computer and then we'd be computerless. Well, today he decided he was going to fix it. I wasn't very confident, but, low and behold we got it fixed! Our hinge now works! YIPPEE! So, I admit that I should have had confidence in him! :)

Cradle

Here is a picture of the cradle that Grandad made for Ernie. We finally got it into it's new home in our bedroom! :)

Updates...

I am officially 37 weeks! I had a doctor's appointment yesterday....for more information about it, visit our babysite. Basically, the doctor thinks "Ernie" is gonna hold out a little longer -- which his momma is happy about! :)

Make Your Guess....

I created an online game where you can make your predictions about when Ernie will be here! :)

A few clean areas of the nursery

The nursery is still in a bit of a mess. We had 2 great showers, and got a lot of great stuff. Now, we just have to find the time and place for everything. We're slowly doing this. Here are some pictures of some of the clean areas in the nursery! :)

The hooks that mom got us, with some of our hooded towels hanging there.

Here is the changing table and hamper:

The dresser (now with knobs) and the lamp.

My boys

Jeff was laying on the couch and Cooper wanted up there with him. Well, he kept jumping up and down so Jeff gave up and took up the whole couch...Cooper figured he could lay on top of him then!

Pictures from Shower

Here I am with all my gifts. Grandad made the cradle for "Ernie." Excuse my face -- more than 1 person was taking pictures of me.

I was apparently having a lot of fun opening the presents:

Cole was thirsty, so he went around was drinking everyone's water from their baby:

Great Grandma made this blanket -- isn't it beautiful?!

The "lucky" 7th gift. Jennifer said that whoever's gift I opened 7th was the next to become a mom/grandma. Well, the "lucky" winner was Gina -- who just had a baby 8 days before!!! Here I am choosing the "lucky" gift:

Gramma, Lucas, & Cole:

I just giggle at this picture -- people are eating, talking, etc....and it looks like I'm off in La-La Land!

Well, we hung up the comforter as a wall hanging. We also organized the office/technology part of the room. Here's some more pictures:
