Room not ready

Baby's room

The bassinet we are borrowing from Aimie it is beautiful white wicker from pottery barn, the skirt has tiny green stars. We set it up in our room to make the first two months easier.

The dresser made it! We got the dresser the first week in April (baby currently overdue) crib they think (hope) will be in by the end of April.

Currently the walls are painted a lite apple green if baby is a girl we will do a garden theme with faint pinks and yellows. If a boy then we will do a jungle theme.

Girl or Boy??

Baby's Going home outfits!

Possible Girls names Sydney, Daphne, Elizabeth or Jillian
Middle name would be Kathleen.

Mom fell in love with Nathan so if it is a boy dad will decide Nathan James Evans or Nathan Patrick Evans

Waiting for baby

I am just waiting to go into labor, I have had a great outpour of support from friends.

Thom has filled every gap with something that I have wanted to do whether it is shopping or walking at ruston. He even went to Ikea and if you know Thom he absolutely hates Ikea. I get waited on, foot rubs, and pampering. Right now he is helping me explore every home remedie to get into labor. We tried accupressure last night which is suppose to work with in 48hours we will try again today.

Aimie lives clear out in woodinville but met me for lunch and gives me little projects to keep my mind off the wait.

Lunch with girls from work big thanks to Veronica for setting it up.

Marie and I went for pedicures and lunch.

Mary and I went for lunch and visited at my house on her only day off!

Mom and I went shopping

Melissa and I are suppose to meet up for lunch today.

It has been emotionally hard this week with the doctor saying that I will go 3 weeks early during all my routine visits and now to be over with my sister being gone last week, my mom has to leave on saturday and my father suppose to be leaving as soon as baby is born so lots of pressure to get babe out. Not to mention I am eating up maternity leave and uncomfortable. So I sent out prayer request to get this labor started and we will see what happens.

Spring Break

This year spring break is very low key, the girls are having friends over but we are really not going out anywhere since baby is now over due. Hollie went and applied for her first job at wild waves. I was so very excited sitting in the parking lot waiting for her to come out. Thom helped her write the resume for job experience she used babysitting and house sitting, she called Robbie and Nana for references and they agreed. During the interview Hollie was asked several common questions....

Why do you want to work at Wild waves? Hollie replied because I love to work with children.

Give me one example where you went above during babysitting? "I stayed two hours later to help out"

Hollie thinks that they loved her she was dressed in jeans, blue sweater and white tank top. She was one of the best dressed.

Lauren played an amazing game on Saturday she was midfielder had some amazing footwork and the usual but what I was most proud of was her willingness to try another position. She played goalie second half and even though it was boring she made a save on their only attempt on goal.

The girls got their big sister gifts early, we bought them the kinex for the xbox, great gift they have not stopped wanting to play with it all week. I originally wanted to get each girl their birth stone ring we priced them out and was about to purchase when the sales man was pushing an additional warrenty. I told him that i did not think the girls would hold on to the rings long enough to use the original warrenty. Hollie once got a ring from nana for christmas and lost it by that night. As we were discussing spending over 300.00 dollars we decided this would not be a good purchase.

Lauren went running with Taya they did the milton trail about five miles, she also spent the night at Lacy's house, Hollie had Alexa stay the night.

And the week is at the halfway mark.

Hollie Band Tour

Hollie went on band tour with the school, most of their concerts were cancelled along the way down the Wa and OR coast so they had a lot of free time. Hollie loved Seaside they went shopping and played on the beach. Her roommates were all sophmores that she did not know but she said they had a great time with these girls. We sure did miss her around here.
