I have finally decided to sit down and create a blog. I have noticed that many of my friends have these and it's always nice to sit down and read about whats new in their life. So I thought I would give it a shot.
Most interesting is Reagan. Her room is completly done. Which I have decided is a good thing and also a bad - its nice knowing that if she were to come early everything is ready and she is set to go - but at the same time, it's making the time go by soooo slow. Walking by her room everyday gives me a sense that all that's left is her arrival. There is absolutly nothing that needs to be done. Dustin and myself went a little crazy and just went ahead and bought everything... well most everything - some stuff was given to us from friends and family; so there is no shopping to do, no painting, nothing. Sometimes I just like to go in there and sit, thinking what it's going to be like in 9 more weeks.
We have an appointment this Wednesday (March 18) for a check up. No ultrasound this time, just a check on her heart and measure my stomach (which is always flattering) Our last appointment was an ultrasound which she was measuring a little big ... no suprise there; but they are going to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't get to large. They said if she starts to get to big they will go ahead and induce me early .... which is sounding better by the day. I can't complain to much - it's really not to bad - I love feeling her kick and move around all the time. . Its really neat. Now, on the other hand, the bladder punches, kicks, twist -- whatever she is doing in there .. well , on my bladder, is not the most comfortable. I'm up most of the night - either trying to get comfortable or peeing a million times. That part I will say I'm COMPLETLY over. But, I guess its preparing me for the sleepless nights ahead.
Also on Wednesday is such an exciting day - we are getting new carpet installed (thank goodness) we just have the "builder" carpet in here now and after 3 years it's ready to go. Reagans room, the hall, and our bedroom is really not that bad - but the living room has got to go - and that makes it worth doing the entire house over!! We ended up going with Empire - who actually had the best price, hopefully, fingers crossed everything will go smoothly on Wednesday. We got a cream/tan"ish" color frieze style carpet - it actually has all kinds of colors in it - but mostly tan"ish" colors. It's really pretty and super thick - we'll see how it goes Wednesday- hopefully I can post (or try to at least) some pictures of it.
We're trying to get some projects done around the house before Reagan comes. The carpet was defintly one to be done; I would also like to paint the 1/2 bath downstairs and make sure the yard is back to where it was last spring. Besides just trying to organize the house - that's pretty much all that needs to be done (guess it's really not that much.. ) hm.
Well - thats really it for now - hopefully I can update Wednesday with good news from the appointment and carpet people !!!!!!!

I am Judy, the matriarch of this soon to be expanding family -- and am soon to become a great grandmother (My God, that makes me SO old). Let me tell you it is a thrill and an accomplishment to have lived to see this day! Let me add as well, my sense of pride for all that Katie and Dustin have done during the course of their young lives. This will be the biggest and best accomplishment and will be one of their fondest memories as they go through the journey of parenthood -- I remember still the thrill of Katie's mother's arrival into this world! I wish them well, I wish them love, and all the success in the world in this new adventure. And I can't wait to see this new little brown eyed, dimpled great grandchild whom we'll all call Reagan! But, Katie, enjoy these next few weeks, this new title you're about to get (Mom) will last for the rest of your life! Savor it -- all of it! It's a great title!
