HURRY UP~! HURRY UP~!

What's taking so long???????????

Congratulations Ashley! I have no clue as to whether it will be a girl or boy, but either way it's great! Hmmmm, name ideas...... I think Aiden sounds nice as Samantha said. For a girl, Naomi is nice, and Jessica.

I haven't posted on this thread yet, but have been keeping up on reading. Congrats to you Ashley! or ( Flutter ) Welcome to Pet Talk.
To guess what gender you baby will be, I think maybe a girl. Don't know why but I just picked that one, seems right.
To name the lil girl, Hmmm....Maybe K-Lyn? Ha, First name Kim. Just kidding Or what about Deanna
Well, I hope everything comes together for you and I wish great strenghth and good health for the big day!

Its only taken me a week to get these photos, but here are the photos

Lobodeb sent us a huge box of goodies for the shower. The plates she sent us are soooooo cute - little teddy bears, rabbits, etc. and guess what! The ribbon I planned on using for thefavors matches the plates as if I trekked around to every craft store in the world to find matching ribbon! I hope everyone can see how the ribbon matches the plate -- the sheer ribbon was hard to photograph


Ashley also got a wonderful gift from Johanna (Cataholic) of crib sheets and an "essentials kit" that has brushes, thermoneters, etc (oooo is she gonna kill me for how bad she looks here! )


More stuff came since I took those photos but we never did get around to photographing them -- so those who sent items, we're getting there! We've been working very hard on getting everythign ready, but I want ot make time to show everyone the sweet things peope sent her.

However, here's more photos of the mommy to be.
Taken yesterday at my moms house


I thought this was cute of her with my 2 year old nephew


Once again, I want to thank everyone who's been so sweet and supportive. We're so excited getting ready for the baby and a lot of thanks needs to go to everyone who is hewlping. You all know who you are and you deserve great big (((HUGS)))

Woohoo, I finally got more pictures! The nursery is coming along SO nicely, thanks to many of you.

First is the artwork Jen gave us, I never did get a closeup to show all of you just how sweet this picture is


Auntie Jen also gave her some onsies... I think the baby will look better in them than Ash does (ok, I'm gonna duck now since she's thanking me so much over the photo I posted of her earlier LOL)


*JTM*Coco*pi*Caramel* sent us a lovely blanket (oh you should feel how soft this is!) and some receiving blankets


And you won't believe how great that blanket looks draped over the chair I upholstered

(I swear the colors are exactly matching in person)

Lastly, sweet LVPets2002 sent a wonderful assortment of Baby Einstein toys, a bath blanket, and some onsies and bibs.


The blocks are just tooo cute and I had a blall playing with them this afternoon (the froggy vibrates if you pull his leg and the duck quacks if you squeeze him) I put them on the shelf next to the ultra-sound frame I made up for Ashley (I was so excited I had to give it to ther the night I made it instead of waiting til the shower )


I am just overwhelmed by how wonderful everyone has been. Giant ((HUGS)) to everyone!
