The Baby Boom Continues, + Working on the Nursery (34 weeks + 5 Days)

Baby Boom #2:

It's a little late to announce but we are so excited that Landon is finally here for the Abbott's! Annie & Billy are wonderful parents and Landon is just the sweetest little one ever! We got to see him just a few days after he was born. We brought Sawyer along with us to see how he would react to a newborn and he seemed to be interested but not overly hyper, so I was very excited about that! Here is a photo of the sweet little one! Congrats to Annie & Billy on a beautiful baby boy! Also, I just want to shout out to Kara & Ben on the birth of Sarah! She's gorgeous and Kara has done an amazing job at posting photos of little Sarah, weekly even! : )

Working on the Nursery:

Martin put all the stars up on the wall from the decals we have gotten as baby gifts! I absolutely love them! They look SO good. We still need a few more items but we have TWO showers this weekend so hopefully we will be able to get a few more things and then we can head off to Babies R Us and Target to pick up the rest on Sunday night! I'm ready to get the nursery finished. I feel like I have been nesting quite a bit the past few days. I've been spending a lot of time organizing and trying to get the house in order! I hope it stays this way before Jude comes because right now it's looking pretty darn good! As for the photo ... so I'm huge! You can't talk me out of it or tell me I look good. But, people want to see what the bump looks like ... it's no longer a bump it's a basketball (Martin even tried to grip it that way!)

Childbirth 101:

What can I say? We spent the entire Saturday trying to learn how to have this kid, but in reality nothing that is on a slide-show is going to prepare us I don't think. It's going to happen whether I know how to breath or not! : ) But, I'm glad we went I think it made Martin feel a bit more prepared. When they had us get into groups of how prepared we were from 1-5 (5 being most prepared) Martin was a 3 and I was a 4. So I think we are going to be just fine!

I'll try to blog more in the next few weeks before Jude is due! I know I haven't been the best at blogging but it's hard to manage keeping up here with school (3 weeks until finals!) and work! Be looking for more once Jude gets here! I'll try to post pictures as often as I can!
