More of Cadence's Room

We finally finished the nursery!! Wahoo!! After Ryan spent a few nights after work painting (Thanks honey!). Heather came over to help with the decorations (Thanks Heather!). We still need to get a little more wallpaper to fill in some spots and I think we may have went a little overboard on the stickers, but I don't care!! We did it ourselves! Then we had so much fun figuring out how to put together the swing, stroller & bouncer. Sheesh! They are harder to put together than they look. Having it finished really gives us a reality check! She is coming!! Although it is really scary we are also so excited to welcome her to our new family! Ryan just keeps saying "She better not surprise us and be a boy!" HAHA Especially after we got so much girl stuff.

My baby showers were so much fun! We are so spoiled that we got 3!! One from the Cutrights, one from the Winnett's and one from my work! They were all so much fun and made me realize how much support I have! We are so grateful for the AWESOME things we got. The nursery, clothes, and furniture are all taken care of!! Now all we need is Cadence :o) Thank you to everyone who gave us presents! We love you all!!

The Nursery

Winett's update

We finally got the Crib Set for the nursery. Soooooo cute! It is dragonflies, pink and light yellow. We are so excited to work on Cadences room. Tonight we went to the store and got the paint. Ryan is already peeling off the old wallpaper. Once we have made some progress, I will take some pictures to post.

I can't believe she is coming so fast!! only 2 1/2 months to go! I am getting pretty freaked out! Am I ready? Will I ever be ready? We finally got the results back from the last ultra sound and all is well, no more low amniotic fluid (phew) and the heart and brain look great! Now it is the waiting game and i am growing bigger and bigger!!

Last week we became official "Home Owners"!! I feel like so much has happened in the last year, we have been so blessed! It is like the fast track to growing up! HAHA - I don't think I will ever REALLY grow up!

Happy Birthday Padre

Well, my Dad just turned 60 on Sunday! Wow! I have such a wonderful Dad! He has done so much for his family and I have always been able to look up to him. Growing up he showed us girls the proper way a man should treat a woman: He was always so sweet and kind to Mom. He always told her how beautiful she was even with her green facial mask on. I have never heard him put her down and he always brags about her to anyone who will listen. I am so thankful to have a great Dad to teach me so many things! He never missed any of my basketball games no matter how early or what other game may have been on TV, and I doubt he missed any of the other kids games either. He has been a great example to me and my siblings on how to be a great parent! Thanks Dad! Happy Birthday!

Ultrasounds

So, I had another ultrasound on Thursday and I found out that I have low Amniotic Fluid. A few tips that I have heard to help is: drink more water and fluids, so i have been doing that. If anyone has any other tips, pelase let me know :)

From the ultrasound we saw that she has HUGE cheecks!! Not on her butt, but ;o) her face. SOOO cute. Here are the pictures. The first one only really shows her chin, lips and fat cheeck. They are kinda hard to see, so good luck.

I finally did it!

So, I finally created my own blog!! Thanks to Brandy! I am so excited to keep my friends and family updated with how the Winnet family is doing. Well, I am about 6 months pregnant with a girl and we are in the process of buying a new home (I feel so grown up). Life is really fun with all of the changes but really scary at the same time. I am so lucky to have such great family and friends to help me and Ryan. Speaking of Ryan, he is so great!! With me being such a tired prego wife, he does all of the dishes, cleaning, making dinners, working and doing side jobs! He is like superman! I have the best husband ever! Our next project is finishing the nursery so I will keep everybody updated on how that goes.
