Fun Maddie Toys

Les has been such a good daddy and put together all of Maddie's new toys. THis is her new swing from Nana and Papa. I think i would like one of these for myself. The jumperoo and walker are from Andrea and

Geoff's parents. I am so lucky that Les puts all of these things together for me with no complaints. All though, we have taken over his music room with all of Maddie's things.

Bump Alert.....

This is Les and Me at our couples shower. I can't believe that i am almost eight months along already. Time is flying! (Left side) On Monday night, Maddie was moving around so much and Buddy wanted to feel her too. Buddy loves to lay on Maddie and keep her company. I wonder if he can sense her......my tummy is growing......

Pictures from our couples shower

Here is a few pictures from our shower, they are kind of out of order because i was randomly chosing ones i wanted to share. Sorry for that confusion. They are from our couples shower last weekend at our house. I can't believe how blessed we are to have so many family and friends come to our shower and bring Maddie such wonderful gifts. Thank you to everyone!!!!!

Maddie got this cute bubble from Hilary. With little pink converse shoes to match. She will be dressed like a rock star baby each time she goes out to a show with her Daddy. Thank you Hilary for such cute shoes and bubble.

This is just a party pic of the family hanging out on our back porch. Just enjoying the nice day and visiting!

The guys played a game of having to chug beer out of baby bottles. It was hilarious watching them try to drink that beer out of a bottle! I think this should go on the Randy Rogers Band website for their fans to see!

THis was an outfit Aunt Rae Rae gave Maddie. The bubble is so cute and the jeans have the same crown to match the bubble. Her shoes are denim with little ribbons. OH MY GOSH....SO ADORABLE!!!

The hostesss decided we should play a game of figuring out what the "melted chocolate" was in each diaper. Only using your sense of smell and sight. It was hard to get out of your head that was chocolate and not a dirty diaper. The boys got all into it the game and loved playing it.

THis is Andrea and Me with our hostesses of the shower. Brooke (far left), then Andrea, Me and Robin. Brie and Ashley are in the back. They did a wonderful job! :)

Brooke made the guys a tool belt of baby stuff for them to wear throughout the shower. It had diapers, bottles, spoons, food and bibs. Such a cute idea!

An Update.....

I know it has been too long since i have updated my blog. Time is flying by for us. Lets see.....I am in my third trimester and nearing the beginning of my eighth month.
I now have to go to the doctor every two weeks. I went on Monday and he said everything is good. Maddie is growing and is measuring to be a small to average baby. Dr. Theis said she will weigh around 6 pounds and 10 ounces. All my levels were good and my weight is good, which is always good to hear. :)
I had a couples shower with Andrea on Sunday. It was awesome. Brooke, Robin, Ashley and Brie hosted the shower at our house. It was a couples shower for a couple of expecting couples. We played games such as smelling diapers filled with chocolate and the guys chugged beer through baby bottles. It was so funny. I got lots of fun things for Maddie. I will post pictures soon of her clothes and all her toys. Les put together her swing and jumperoo. It is all taking over his music room. Oh well!!!!
I feel good but get tired in the evenings. She is moving constantly and we are entertained by her moving around. Its such a neat and unexplainable feeling.
I will post new pictures very soon. Take care and we love you.

Maddie's New Crib!!!

Maddie's room now looks like a nursery. Nana and Papa bought Maddie her new crib and Les put it together today.We have already put the sheets and blankets on it. Her sheets and dust ruffle are from Bombay Kids along with the bumper pads which match the comforter on the twin bed. The crib is a cherry wood sleigh crib which can convert to a toddler bed when she is older. It really makes it real when you walk into her room and see the crib where she will be sleeping in nearly 3 months. Thank you Nana and Papa for the gorgeous crib!!!!!

A Funny Picture

I have seen this heartbeat monitor in which you can listen to the baby's heartbeat. I bought one so Les and I were determined to hear Maddie's heartbeat. We heard lots of noises in my tummy but not her heartbeat. She doesn't like the monitor. We tried it out the other night and she kept kicking the monitor and kicking me all over. It was fun to watch her kick and move around. We will keep trying until we find it but in the mean time, its fun to feel her kick!!!!

We can't quit decorating.....

Maddie's room has become our favorite room in the new house. We are constantly decorating and buying new things for her. We have added her letters that will hang above her bed. We bought a gorgeous bookshelf for her baskets and frames along with a darling table to go beside our glider. Her nursery has become so cute. Just take a look!

Here is Maddie's bookshelf with all her cute things that a girl would want and need. This is one of my favorite pieces of furniture.

This letters will be above her bed which is getting delievered today! They turned out so darling and are hung with knobs that you would put on a dresser drawer. I got the idea from a teacher i work with.

Here is Maddie's new stroller and carseat. This was a gift from her great-grandparents, mawmaw and pawpaw. They sent me money and a check to buy it and when we went to get the stroller they were sold out of them. They sold us the display and i can't find it anywhere right now so.....i am estatic that we got the one we wanted. THank you mawmaw and pawpaw.

Our newest gift is from Les' parents. They wanted us to have a recliner to rock Maddie in that would be in our living room. We were able to go and pick it out and now we love it. Its become my favorite place to sit and can't wait to rock little Maddie in her new chair. THank you Mimi and Opah for this great gift!

Maddie's play/sleep crib arrived from her Uncle Rick on Tuesday. She will sleep in this in our room when she is little. Its a "big honkin' portacrib" because it has a changing table with a music box, vibrator for her mattress and a mobile. She will be sleeping in style! Rachel and i put it together in the living room but realized it wouldn't fit through the bedroom door so we had to take it apart and then move it in the room. THen put it all back together. So, it will stay in our room. THank you Uncle Rick!!!!
