Another Project Yay!

We are trying to get all of our projects finished for Rylan's room...it's definitely a work in progress. I have a bookshelf and toy chest that I've had 20+ years that I mentioned in a previous post, that we have got to sand down and repaint. So yesterday after we got home from the ultrasound we went outside in this beautiful weather and started sanding! We are planning on painting them Saturday when it will be extra warm so they will dry fast. We have a fun time working on these little projects together. It's a great time to communicate and enjoy one another. Of course, we talked about our little Rylan most of the time we were outside because we were so excited about seeing his little face. I think we even went back and forth saying "no, I think he looks like you" a million times! Haha. It doesn't matter who he looks like as long as he is healthy and safe. I'm more eager to meet him now. It's amazing what a little glimpse of something can do to you! It has consumed my thoughts ever since we saw him. It's like..."that's my child inside my womb, the one who kicks and punches and wakes me up during the midnight hours...." But he is such a joy already and I'm more in love with him every day....

Welllllll.......HE'S BEAUTIFUL & PERFECT!

and yes, he did smile a lot!

Butch and I couldn't have prepared ourselves for what we saw today. Our little boy was nothing like we had pictured - he was more beautiful/handsome than what we could have ever imagined him being! He has a perfect little pug nose and what looks to be, big eyes. And he definitely has some big cheeks! Hmm..I wonder where he gets that from! Haha. Butch and I have looked at all the photos that were taken today about 15 times - we can't enough of our little man!! Butch thinks he looks like me, but I see a lot of characteristics from Butch...so we're in between. Let's just face it - he will be a mixture of us! Duh!

One definite good thing is that he is already in the head down position! He's getting ready to make his debut into the world. And boy, I'm so ready for him to.

Tomorrow..

I'm awake at an unusual hour for me, 10:15 pm...haha. I'm usually in the bed, but tonight I can not sleep because I'm thinking of the ultrasound that we are having tomorrow. I'm so excited about seeing my little boy's face that I just can't stand it! I feel the anticipation that I felt when we were going to have our second ultrasound to find out the baby's gender. It's a date that you look forward to for weeks or months and the time has finally arrived and the anticipation is unbearable!! I guess it's a good thing my appointment is at 8:00 AM! I have my Sugar Free Red Bull (yes it's ok for me to drink this, this once) and a Diet Mt. Dew ready to drink in the morning so that Rylan will definitely be moving around for us! Butch thinks he is going to look like me and I think that he's going to favor Butch. I got the baby pictures out tonight of both of us and was trying to see what the mixture of us would be....we'll see tomorrow! Here are some pictures of both of us as babies to see what all of you think.

He's growing and so am I!

He will be here soon and we can't wait!

Room Decor

This is a picture of a mirror I bought to go in Rylan's Western/Cowboy theme room. I got it on Ebay for $0.01~and I paid a small shipping fee so I was ecstatic! You've got to love Ebay!!

My wonderful Redneck husband with his pants legs in his boots!! haha

We had a great snow day on the first day of March! I spent most of my time taking pictures of scenery. Butch was too cold to stay outside for long. I wish I had gotten pictures of us having a snowball fight. But it is just the two of us right now so that was kinda difficult!
