Nesting & Natalie

Ornaments Aunt Natters and I made for Nat's birthday and Ezra's Christmas
So, Aunt Natalie came out to Midland this past Saturday to visit Derek and I and to help us prepare for the baby! Oh man, we accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. Natalie helped unpack from the baby shower my church hosted for us, (amazing, pictures when I get them,). She organized all of Ezra's clothes in the closet by size and she kept me on track and on my "list" of things to buy to make our transition into parenthood easy and stress-free. I'm so thankful for our few short days together. Nat is better at taking pictures than I am so here are some of her's from her trip to Midland...
Scottie Boo and our mini-tree. 
Ezra's baby ornament
The biggest tourist attraction...
Aunt Natter's with Brady Bear. 
Things we checked off my list: 
Curtains for the babies room.
Take closet door off to make more space for baby things.
Organize all clothes.
Pack hospital bag.
Bedspread for guest bed in baby's room.
Check off last minute registry needs. 
WASH everything!
Set up Christmas decorations BEFORE baby comes! 
So thankful for Natters! We had so much fun together! AND, we managed some great girl time with the lovely Sarah L. and Nancy L. Having an all-out girls shop-a-thon at 37 weeks pregnant was the best part! Game night, great food and having my best friend spend time with my husband = one very successful week!

25 DAYS, 23 HOURS...

YES, I am getting a little ridiculous with this countdown business! But...
I slept through the night last night!
We are under one month to go!!
Aunt Natalie will be here this weekend to help me finish the nursery!
Our friends, Brian and Sarah with their sweet baby girl Brynlee, will be here for a week!
Which equals shopping for the ladies and daddy practice for Derek with Brian!
Ezra now has a beautiful changing pad and cover gifted by sweet Mrs. Lynn!
He also has a mattress for his crib!!!
Ideas are flowing for how best to organize his clothes (as I have no idea, but Nancy does!)
It's almost Thanksgiving, which means I'm "dressing" up as the turkey! :)
A cold front came in  making me much more comfortable!
OHHH so much to be thankful for!
