Heading home

We are all checked out from the hospital and get to head home! Four crews came to our house yesterday to finish cleaning everything so that we could go home instead of back to the hotel. I can't believe they did that for us, so extremely nice of them. I'm excited and nervous to be going home though. I'm officially a mom now!!!

Bath time

Zoey's first bath wasn't a happy one. I'm sure she was confused as to what was going on and I hated hearing her cry! :(

Our sweet little girl is here! Everything went well, she is a healthy baby and only a 13 hours delivery. I'm EXHAUSTED! That is the hardest thing I've ever done! Pictures of her first two days

Zoey's on her way!!!

All checked into the hospital and ready to start the process of labor! My water had broke like Barbie thought so they have to give me pitocin since my body hasn't started. Hopefully everything goes okay. Looks like Zoey is coming before the 1st!!! Three months off and a free delivery but still in a hotel with a torn apart house. Oh well, I'm excited to meet my little girl!!!!

Heading to the hospital

Today I felt like something was off and I was leaking a bit. I was chatting with B on my way home from work and she said I need to go to the hospital to get checked out because that is how she started labor with Mia. So off I go!!! Oh man, could she really be two weeks early????

Christmas

We were exhausted this year when we got to Jay and Mary's for Christmas but we had a good time and now it's time for bed! pictures

Unsalvageable items

So far this is how much is getting thrown away. If it's cheaper to buy than clean it is considered unsalvageable items. Most of it is kitchen food but some is Zoey's stuff that I need to reorder right away. Hopefully I can get it all done before she gets here!

Christmas Eve

We had Christmas this year at Lisa's and I wasn't able to enjoy it much as we went back and forth to our house as they had a crew working. I can't believe this is happening right now! Merry Christmas to us!!!

Hotel life

So it's the day before Christmas Eve and we have been in a hotel for two days now and I'm due in three weeks. I just hope Zoey doesn't come early so I can get the house back in order first before she gets here. The last we heard was that it will be another week until we can get back into the house. Oh man, this just sucks :( I'm trying to stay positive but I'm pretty exhausted to do much with my big belly now.

Disaster house

So it turns out protein smoke damage is very hard to clean and get rid of the smell. I called our insurance and had to open up a claim to fix the damage of up to $35,000! Our house is in total shambles as a company takes apart every room in the house to clean EVERYTHING! Even all the clothes, shoes, rugs, bedding, coats, etc have to be professionally cleaned. Zoey's room is now totally taken apart and half of her things are unsalvageable (toys, diapers, wipes, mattace, anything they can't clean). This disaster keeps getting worse :(

Brinks NO!!!!

So last night Brinks almost started a fire in our house. There was a pan of bacon grease on the stove and he went to investigate and turned the range on. What are the odds that he would turn the exact range the pan was on. We had gone to Jody and Cary's house for dinner and were only gone for a few hours or it could've been worse. When we got home the whole house was filled with smoke and Brinks was freaking out! I hope he is okay and that his lungs are not damaged. Curtis opened all the windows and I stayed the night at Barbies and he stayed in the man cave with Brinks. Not sure what were going to do but Curtis thinks he can take care of it himself. This is just horrible!!!

Curtis's baby shower

Curtis's work threw him a shower and how fitting that they got him our pump! That was so very sweet of them to do that! Thanks everyone!!!

Zoey's room

Yahhh, Zoey's room is all ready for her to get here. I'm getting super excited and nervous! pictures

Go Hawks

Going to the games is getting harder but I'm still doing it. Curtis drops me off at the door and I take the elevator up to the 300 level while he parks and we get to our seats at the same time! Thanks baby for making it easier for me!

Hike with dad

What a handsome doggy!

Watching football in the man cave!

Some of my favorite times!!!

My poor feet!

I don't think they can get any more swollen! Being pregnant can be painful. Little over a month to go. I hope my feet can make it!!!
