Getting ready!!

A few other things to add to this month's update!

We figured we'd document the first pack of diapers that we bought and the last... whenever that might be. The next photo is the many pieces of the crib - we worked great as a team!

The dogs... checking out the crib. They aren't sure what to think yet! Oh! There I am... Chance is lovin' on his mama and Reese is trying to annoy me to death.

These are pictures of the room so far... the book shelf, the corner shelves (notice the ADORABLE converse high tops that I bought!) Oh, and notice my little rocking chair from when I was little. It's hard to image that I fit in that! I'll be painting that soon, right now it's just primed and ready to go!

This picture was my first (and I'm sure, not my last) project for the baby's room! Andy found this little shelf at a garage sale for $5 and I painted it brown and pink to match the baby's bedding. :) I had to buy the diaper organizer to match the colors - thank God for Target ... I can't wait to start decorating some more.

April showers bring... a BABY GIRL!!

Here is the baby belly at the end of March! WOW, growing every day! She's also getting more active, and Andy can't wait until he can feel her moving too!

Well, after 20 weeks of patiently waiting (ok, who am I kidding, I was not patient) we finally found out that baby Linkous is going to be a baby GIRL!! The doctor's office visit was unpleasant to begin with... crazy waiting room, 45 minutes of waiting to see the doctor, etc. But when we finally got back there, it was WELL worth it! She is a healthy 11 oz. baby with big feet! She was beautiful too. Everything perfect - at the beginning Andy even saw her sucking her thumb! Check out the pictures from her second photo shoot... such the little Diva already.

This month we also went to visit Aunt Mel and Uncle Nick. Amy, Curtis, Zeb, and Jen were there too! The girls and Zeb got to go shopping while the boys went off-roading in the jeep.

Me and Mel... girl and boy! The Florida Girls!

Andy, practicing with Zeb. The boys after their jeep outing.

We have been having a lot of fun getting the room ready for her too. Andy took out the old carpet and is laying hardwood floors. Check out the progress!!
