Its all about getting comfy!

Being nine months pregnant and getting dressed in the morning is frustrating. All i want to do is go to work in my pajamas. I can't wait to come home and get in my comfy clothes. Mom sent me this adorable pants outfit and some super soft pajamas. Just take a look at how comfortable i look in my new pj's!!!!

This is me in my normal clothes feeling very uncomfortable after shopping and eating out today. Maddie is just growing and i can feel her little feet, knees and back all the time. I am done cookin' the little bun in the oven and now i would like for someone else to feel her knees and feet like i do. STICK A FORK IN ME.....I AM DONE! : )

Everything is good!

I met with Dr. Theis today and it was a quick appointment. We discussed how Maddie is positioned and her heartbeat was strong. He said that i have swelling in my feet which is normal for being pretty much nine months pregnant. I need to try to put my feet up as much as possible which is very hard when you are a teacher. I don't like the swollen feet or ankles but he said its just water and i will lose it soon after Maddie is born. Besides that, i meet again on May 7 then every monday after that.
I turned in the paperwork for the hospital pre-registration so we are getting close. Wow...these last eight months have flown by. I have realized that i am getting close to her due date when you hear about movies or coupon sales running out by May 31. My assistant principal pointed that out and its so true. You don't realize how close you are until then. Thank you for checking on Maddie and me. : )

Just an few new pictures

I am exactly 34 weeks today which means that if Maddie were born in the next few weeks, she could breathe on her own. What a great feeling. I have been having the "fake" contractions for about a week now. They hurt sometimes and other times they are just a quick tightening in my tummy. Its God way of preparing my body for having Maddie in a month. Everything else is going good. I meet with Dr. Theis on Monday for my last two week appointment then its every week.

I met with the district today and put in for my maternity leave. I will only have 3 more weeks of work then i am off for 2 weeks before Maddie is due. It will give me time to rest, clean and enjoy some down time. I can't believe how fast time is flying by. Not much longer.....

WE ARE SO READY FOR MISS MADDIE!!!!

Les took this picture of Buddy, Hippo, Maddie and Me just hanging out on the couch in our comfy clothes. My belly is getting rounder and poking out more. Les rubs on it and tells me how cute it is but i feel very big....

This adorable "bling" onesie came from James and Stacy, some of our really good friends. The onesie is so cute with the rhinestones and the matching headband with rhinestones. Maddie will fit this onesie perfectly with all the girly bling.

The plaque is about having a daughter: A Daughter is a precious blossom who gives a bouquet of love with her smile.

We love it all. Thank you both so much for being so sweet. We love you guys.

The glider came from my hostess' from my baby shower in Houston. It is very comfortable and just waiting to rock little Maddie when she is born. Thank you Ladies for the wonderful gift.

This is Maddie's papasean chair which vibrates and plays music for her. We decided that we want one in an adult size. It looks so comfy and Maddie will love to sit in there and play. Thank you Whitecotton Ladies. We love you all.

Baby Shower in the Woodlands

I am just going to warn you.....there is a lot of pictures from my baby shower......please look at all of them. I am so blessed to have great family and friends who gave so much to us and Maddie. We love you all. Enjoy!

Here are my generous hostess who hosted a beautiful baby shower in the Woodlands on March 31. They gave us our glider and their daughters all gave us the ottoman to match. I can't wait to rock Maddie in it soon. Thank you so much for all you did to make the shower wonderful!

This is a bump alert on Maddie Lawless...she is growing and moving around so much. I can feel her foot or hands when she pushes. Its such an incredible feeling. I can't wait to hold her.

Its the Girls all dressed up for the baby shower. They look too young to be an Aunt and Nana. Maddie will have too much fun with them. I love you girls.

Here is a look at all the pink gifts that Maddie is getting. Wow! The clothesline behind the gifts was a great idea. We hung outfits and dresses on it as i opened them. That way all my guests were able to see the outfits that Maddie got. So cute.

Uncle Rick gave Maddie so many neat gifts. The black diaper bag is great because Les can carry it and its not all girly. The pink over the door hanger has pockets in which i have put all of Maddie's washcloths, towels and baby products. The canvas bags are for her room to put all her clothes and toys in. Thank you Uncle Rick for the fun and thoughtful gifts. We will use them all!

Mawmaw gave Maddie a beautiful white dress that i can't wait to put her in. It reminds me of a dress that we wore to take pictures on the beach. I would love for Maddie to do that one day. She also gave her a princess birp cloth. She will fit that name when she is born. Thank you mawmaw.

Amber gave Maddie a cute blue jean skirt and shirt that matches. Its is so tiny and cute. Thank you Amber....she will be the best dressed little girl.

Aunt Rae Rae gave Maddie a onesie that says "Maddie .... est. 2007" What a cute gift and she gave her some Golden books which are speical to us because we read them when we were little girls. What a neat tradition to pass down to Maddie.

This is a picture of two of my highschool friends who came to the shower. It meant so much to me because we have been friends for a long time. Its hard to believe that we all working, getting married and having babies. It makes me feel old at times.

Here i am with the Great grandparents....what a neat experience for Maddie to have Great grandparents. Maddie will be spoiled by her Great mawmaw, Great Granny and Nana. She will add to the tradition of the girls in our family.

Maddie Lawless.....just look at all the gifts you got from all your family and friends who love you so much and you aren't even here yet. We can't wait to put all the gifts to use.

I have saved the best gift for last.....Mom created a scrapbook for Maddie about me as a little girl. When i opened the gift i thought it was a scrapbook for Maddie because it had a baby picture on the front. When i opened the book, it was pictures of me and story of my life. I just started crying. It is beautiful......she worked so hard and put all the cute 3-D things on each page with quotes. I wish i could post it all on here but when you come to see Maddie you can look at it. Its AMAZING!!!
