BOY, GIRL, BOY, GIRL, BOY.....GIRL??????

The countdown is officially on! I have never been so excited for the month of March in my life! I have to admit I am VERY relieved that baby bee decided to stay put on February 29th! I know some people said it would be cool to have a leap year baby but I was not really thrilled about that. 


So here we are.... MARCH 3rd....and to say I'm ready is the UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY! I literally hope my water breaks before i finish this sentence :) Oh darn, no such luck! haha! Well, my new roomie, aka my mom, has arrived and will be here until the little one decides to join us! Stiles and I are so glad she will be here to help us the first few weeks while we get our new parenting skills under control! My dad is also here this weekend but has to fly home on Tuesday so we are really praying that baby bee joins us before he leaves! I really wish we had some say in this whole thing, this kiddo has way too much control right now haha! Did i mention my doctor is on call this weekend too? I mean, seriously this baby needs to pack up and get outta there, NOW!!!!!!!! haha!


I will keep everyone posted but please continue to pray for Baby Bee's safe arrival and possible EARLY ARRIVAL :) Thank you for always checking in on us!

Waiting and waiting :)

Love,


Mama Bee

36-36.5 week pictures...look at that bump grow! WOW!!!!!!

Sorry for the delay with these!!! Here are some from last week....they are super silly! I took these one night while i was waiting for Stiles to get home from work! Get ready to laugh! I must say the front on pictures of the belly look EXTRA LARGE :) Baby Bee sure is growing and so is his/her Mama :)

 Look at that BELLY!

 I told yall this baby is growing!

 This is my reaction every morning when i see how big the belly grew! haha!

Not getting enough of this FOR SURE!

Impressive huh?! I am quite proud of how the little one has grown these past few weeks, although my organs, skin, and entire body for that matter are feeling the extra LB's not in a good way!!! Oh and by the way, I have officially issued Baby Bees eviction notice... he/she has less than 30 days to vacate! 

Stay tuned for updates on Baby Bee's move out status! 

Big hugs, well as close to a hug as I can give with this big old belly :)

We're getting so close :)

Wahoo the countdown to Baby Bee is getting closer and closer and we are just soooooooo excited! We have the nursery about 90% complete and my "to do" list is down to one or two unnecessary items! I have baby bee's bag completely packed and my bag is about 80% packed! I officially purchased my very first PINK item this past week and it felt a little weird. I guess with so many people telling me that baby bee "is definitely a boy" I have almost forgot the fact that baby bee could actually be a sweet little girl! I rushed to my favorite baby boutique, Baby Bloomers, and found the softest most adorable Kissy Kissy pink gown and a super girly polka dot headband with a BIG BOW on it :) I loveeeeeeeeee it! I also have a blue Magnolia Baby gown with a little "special delivery stork" on it. ahhhhh i cannot tell ya'll how excited I am for the moment when the doctor says.... " and the baby is a ________" I have not felt anxious about finding out the gender this entire pregnancy until the last week or so. Now I'm dying to find out, but secretly love the anticipation as weird as that sounds. Well, here are a few pictures of our nursery and a few of big mama! I will try to blog a lot more these next couple of weeks especially since I'm running out of other things to occupy my time :)

Homemade Giraffe, Curtains and Bed Skirt!

 Stiles painted this bookshelf and did a GREAT JOB!

 Beautiful Crib and toy chest!

 Changing Table and ABC lamp!

 Sweet sweet Giraffe!!!!

Me and kiddo... this was a few weeks ago (35ish)

Happy 36 weeks!

Happy Thursday to all of my blog buddies! I owe each of you SUCH A BIG apology for being so slack these last few weeks. Would you believe me if I told you I have been way to lazy to even update this blog?! Well, sadly that is partly the truth! We have also had a lot of company and last minute baby projects to try and squeeze in! We started our parenting class series a few weeks ago and also took Infant CPR this week. Its hard to believe we are less than 1 month away from our due date :) I had a mild freak out this week when i had my weekly doctors appointment and Dr. Evans informed us that I had already started the dilation process and my cervix was 50% effaced. I think Stiles and I both looked at each other and thought " are you kidding"! I know this doesn't mean baby bee is coming today or anything I could be stuck in this phase for a while but YA NEVER KNOW!!! We go back on Tuesday to see how things are progressing.. updates to come! 
I'm sure everyone is ready to see how this baby bump is growing so I will post some pictures this evening! I don't have any with me at the moment. I have to say everyone definitely knows I'm pregnant now! WOW WOW WOW! 
Sleeping is now my worst enemy. I swear I would rather sleep standing up. This kiddo has packed on the LB's and is destroying my poor ribs and insides! He/she is also noticeably MORE active during the night which makes me a little nervous of his/her sleeping habits! I have tried to reason with this little person but he/she is running the show with this one! 
I'm sorry this post is so all over the place, I feel like its a great representation of my brain these days... More to come this evening! Enjoy your day!


Hugs from BIG BIG MAMA and growing little kiddo!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!! I cannot believe we are already halfway through January! Time is going by too fast and we're not ready for Baby Bee, haha! We are still in the middle of getting things unpacked and organized at our new house. Things should start to really come together in the next few weeks, WE HOPE :) Our Christmas holiday was amazing! We actually made the long trip to Delaware, all FOUR of us. Yessssss, even Maxey Bear came along! He was such a good little rider, he even experienced his first hamburger happy meal! He got lucky since his Mom had no idea how to feed him in a moving car, rookie mistake! Shortly after our trip to Delaware I made ANOTHER trip back to the 1st State for my incredible baby shower. I am still completely blown away by how beautiful everything was and how blessed I am to have such an incredible family and friend base. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart to all of you who attended, it was so wonderful seeing everyone. I cant wait to bring baby bee back to Delaware this summer to meet everyone! 

I am very behind with pictures so here's a few from the past month! I still cant believe we are 8 weeks away from Baby Bee's expected arrival date! We are so excited we can hardly stand it! I am feeling those little feet kick and kick and I just cant wait to hold those little piggies!! ahhhh! I hope everyone had a blessed holiday! I promise to be a better blogger in 2012!

Baby Bee is growing SO FAST, he/she was 3lbs, 10 oz at my 31 week appointment and exactly on target for the due date! Only 8 weeks to go!!! HOLY COW! I will be posting a copy of the newspaper article that I'm featured in later this week. Are you ready to laugh? I was interviewed for the MOM's section of the paper about my experience hunting for daycare's, lets hope i didn't say too much and I will be kicked off of every list :) haha! They even came to my office and made me do a mini photo shoot, so odd! I had to do lots of baby bump photo's which a lot of you know I HATEEEEEEE doing!!!! All of my co-workers laughed at me as i tried to look like a pregnant cover girl :) 

Big hugs from Big Mama,
