Baby Shower with my Residents

For those of you who know me well, know that Im not into being the center of attention. You could probably tell that by how I did my wedding... super small and low key! So having a baby has been an adjustment for me since I know that I need to have baby showers to help with all the "things" that a baby needs. I will be having several baby showers coming up in the next few weeks that I will share with you, but the first one I had was very heartwarming for me and one I will remember always.

My supervisor planned one which included all my residents at Aspen Trace. I had 45 residents show up for the shower which was a great turn out and made me feel super loved. The room was packed full with my ladies smiling faces. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

Now, there will be very few pictures since I am not allowed to post pictures publicly of my residents but I will try to include what I can for you. No presents were given since it is company policy that residents are not allowed to give employees gifts. But... what there was a lot of was punch, cake, games, laughter, love, and support from these ladies I have come to love much like family.


Party favors with the "HE" or "SHE" colored in!


Baby Rhoton cake!


Punch!


Room decorations!


Games! We played a games where the residents had to make a list of A-Z girl and boy baby names, finish off the nursery rhyme listed, and baby items price is right.


Me and my supervisor who threw me the shower :) I look horrible in this picture... uhhhgggg!

The one gift I did receive "from my residents" was a book called The Real Mother Goose. Inside they had all signed their names and written me little notes. I will cherish it forever! It truly was a very special time with some very special people!

Very thankful for all who shared it with me!

Remingtons Rundown My Day with Dad

Hey Doodle Lovers! Its Remington Bear here!

Both Mom and Dads schedule have been all over the place lately. This has been hard on me, because it often times means I have to be crated while they are working. Mom and Dad hate doing this too me so one week when I had been crated for three days while Mom and Dad both worked, Dad surprised me and came home and brought me to work with him!


Dad had been working with some of the new recruits coming in to their police department. Everyone was outside that day so I got pretty much free reign of the area they were in! 


All you gotta do is give me my Frisbee and Im a happy camper!


A bunch of the officers were playing football and tried to teach me how...


But I was much more into my beloved Frisbee to really care!


So instead I taught the officers how to play my kind of game instead!


Throw it for heavens sake!


Dont worry! I got it!


Boy was it a fun day with Dad and all his friends! But I was so tired afterward :)

Time to sign off... WIGGLES!!

Baby Rhotons Dog Themed Nursery

I am now almost 38 weeks pregnant and Dan and I have been busy trying to get everything done that needs to be completed before Baby Rhoton arrives. One of the biggest things on my list of to dos was the nursery. Yes, I know that babies dont really need much when they are born, but for my own sanity I wanted things finished and organized as much as possible beforehand. So without waiting any longer I present to you Baby Rhotons Dog Themed Nursery!

Its no secret that Dan and I are obsessed about our dog, and we were going to make sure that Baby Rhoton loves dogs just as much! HA! 


First is a bedside table that was my Grandma Fowlers. It has a picture of Remington on it, a glass dog, baby books in the basket below, a stuffed sheep dog that was my Great Aunt Siss, and a small book of baby advice cards.


Then you have the reading wall which includes books of all sorts. However, what you may not be able to see is that the "READ" letters are covered in scrapbook paper that says words like fetch, mans best friend, woof, bark, etc.


We also have a twin size bed in the nursery that has pillows on it all dog related :)


On the other wall we have different signs that relate to dogs and a glider rocking chair that was my Grandma Fowlers.


From there you have the "dog butt" wall. I love these things! Thanks Aunt Boo!


And last but not least you have the crib with a dog mobile attached and the decorated wall!

Overall, Im pretty happy with how it all turned out. The room is very small and we have a lot of stuff crammed in there, but we made it work for right now. Remi even has his own special dog bed in there during the time he spends with Baby Rhoton.

36 Weeks

Well, here we are at 36 weeks! How did that happen and the time move by so quickly. We are down to the nitty gritty. Im feeling overwhelmed that time has gotten away from me and the baby will be here way before Im ready for it to be.


"Look Ma! Your belly is bigger than my head!"

I had my most recent appointment yesterday. I had been having some major cramping and the doctor said that it is my body telling me to slow down which I did right away. My feet and hands have started to swell a little bit but not badly... just enough where my wedding ring is fitting snuggly on my finger. Im still having awful acid reflux, aching in my hips, restless legs, and trouble sleeping... but really for the most part Im feeling really good.

Currently the baby is the size of a melon and weighing in at 6.2 pounds. We had an ultrasound done and the babies head is facing down and resting very low. Dan and I were really looking forward to some great pictures, but the baby had its hands over its face the entire time. BOO! However, everything looked good and healthy which is what Im most worried about.  The babies heartbeat was 128 and Im measuring right on target. Currently, I have gained 28 pounds and my body feels every pound as it is very hard to do much of anything.


I did make sure I got my summer flowers planted! All 240 of them!

The doctor said that the ultrasound shows I have an excellent amount of fluid which means if my water breaks I will know it. Uhhhhggg! Good heavens! He also said that I am a 1/2 centimeter dilated. WHOA! It just doesnt seem possible that Dan and I will be parents of a human in a month or less.

We have been making progress on the nursery slowly but surely. Im hoping I will have some pictures of the finished product for you soon.


Heres a sneak peek of one of the major projects we have been working on for the babies room! The "READ" wall! I love it so much!

We have also gotten a lot of our "big" stuff from several of the showers weve had, so a lot of time has been spent putting all that stuff together. I still need to organize all the little stuff and figure out my plan of attack when the baby arrives if that is even possible. I just want to be as prepared as possible when the time does actually come.


Remi has been helping as much as possible with the baby preparations!

Like I said, time is slowly slipping away from us! Even though Im terrified... Im also super excited to meet this new little being that Im sure will take hold of Dan, Remington and my heart! A new adventure is about to begin whether we are ready for it or not.
