Dax's Nursery

Yesterday was SO much fun!  We got to go pick up our crib, mattress, and glider chair!  We still have a lot to do, but we did order the bedding!  I have started a photo story to document setting up the nursery!

So bad...

I realize that the last time I posted a little something, that I promised to reveal Baby Boy's name RIGHT after telling our fam.  Well, I guess life got in the way!  Last Thursday I found a cutie Shepard mix puppy.  I couldn't resist taking her in and trying to find her a home.  Well, puppies can take over your life!

We have been calling her Bella.  She is SO cute and playful, but we can't keep her.  Not with aging Dixie, and baby on the way.  We have tried very hard to find her a loving home, but can't seem to get anyone!  So, we have to take her to the SPCA today.  I hope I don't cry (thanks, baby bump hormones).
Friday and Saturday we enjoyed time with our families.  Cameron and I knew Baby Boy would clean up at Christmas's to come, but we had no idea he would take the cake THIS year!  He definitely did the best at both celebrations!  I am still working on getting pictures from the holidays together to I can post a photo story.
Today we are going to the Texas Bowl to see my Baylor Bears dominate...hopefully!  We were planning on participating in all of the tailgating events at Reliant, but the weather is NOT cooperating!  I am super excited about seeing the Erickson's today!
I am 26 weeks along and am still feeling really good!  I can't believe that he will be here in 3 months!  Scary!  This week the nerves in his auditory system are developing more and he is beginning to practice inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid so he is ready for that first breath!  I feel him kick regularly and that is such an awesome feeling.
Okay, now for the name reveal...Baby Boy's official name is Dax Robert Foster.  Cameron came up with Dax and Robert is my dad's middle name!  I am so relieved to have decided on a name!  It is super fun referring to baby by his name!

Let me start out by saying..."Thank the Lord that Winter Break is here!"  Now on to important updates.  So sorry for not posting for such a long time!  The Holidays are crazy!  I thought about putting together a separate photo story for each event...but I just don't have enough pictures for that!  So I am going to do ONE big photo story for all of our holiday festivities and post it after the New Year!  I have been asked to see belly shots, so I have posted my monthly tummy shots!  As for Baby Boy...we DO have a name, and I will reveal it Thursday (we need to tell the parental units first).  I am currently 25 weeks along.  Baby Boy is about 13 1/2 inches long, weighs about a pound and a half, and is the size of a rutabaga!   He is exchanging his long, lean figure for some baby fat!!  He is also getting rid of that wrinkly skin and looking more like a newborn!  As for me, I feel great!  I have already started swelling in my feet, so when I'm at school I try to sit more and put my feet up!  The kids are really understanding and helpful.  At my 28 week appointment they will check me for gestational diabetes.  And as for preparing for Baby Boy, we have moved an armoire from our guest room down to the nursery.  Cameron bought the most awesome zebra print dresser that we are going to use as a changing station.  And we have had TONS of generous help from the grandparents to be.  They took care of our super fancy glider chair and ottoman, and our crib!  We still have to decide on bedding and a rug.  I can't wait for all my furniture to arrive!  Today Cameron and I are meeting with our dear friend, Sara to discuss the details of our Couples Baby Shower!  She is kind enough to throw it for us towards the end of January!
