BUT, now I get to sleep in, not take a shower, wear pjs all day, swim, reconnect with friends and family, read, read, read, and nap anytime I want to!!!! That's summer to me and part of why I work so hard the other 10 months of the year.
Since Baby Creel will be making his/her debut, no exciting summer plans have been made. I have a cousin getting married in a couple weeks, we'll go to that. Thinking about meeting up with my Dad and Evan. We'll be getting the room ready and registering. The more baby planning I can do this summer, the less I'll have to do during the school year. Yay!
My favorite summer plan is finding out the gender of Baby Creel! I have to remind myself that we may have to come back for an ultrasound if the little critter doesn't cooperate. I would just LOVE to start calling my child by name. We have a little party planned for the event! We're going to invite family and a few close friends over to have cupcakes. Inside will be blue or pink, depending. The fun part is Matt and I won't find out at the Doctor's office. So only the Doctor and the bakery will know until that night. :) Can you sense the excitement?!
We got to see Baby Creel moving this morning at my appointment. Amazing. God is so amazing. Baby was all stretched out and jumping around. I thought FOR SURE I would be balling my eyes out the entire time. Nope, not a tear. I was so amazed. I couldn't stop smiling and I'm sure my mouth was dropped open the entire time. This new adventure is becoming more real every day.
Matt called our baby a Mexican Jumping Bean. Ha.
Oh, I know this is long...but here is an idea for the nursery. Not sure of the wall color, but a nature-ish theme. I want to get a vinyl sticker of a tree kinda like this one....
then hang pictures under some branches to make a family tree. Thoughts?
