Baby talk!

Today was our 21 week check up. Things are looking good - Adrians heatbeat is at a constant 140ish beats per minute. This was the first visit where I was not there for over an hour - props go out to Dr. Woodbridge!

My checklist is becoming shorter by the day thankfully! So far we decided on and have purchased her furniture and her bedding. Now all we need is to paint, decorate and buy my chair for her room and we should be all set!

Our first baby shower is coming up next weekend in Indiana- I cannot believe that it is already here! Not only will we get to celebrate little Addi but we will also get to visit all of our family for 4 days. Sadly this will be my last trip before she comes but hopefully soon after we will be able to take her back so we can show her off! My parents will also be flying up with us which will be so much fun because they have never been to Indiana and seen where Nick was raised. I am so excited to show them around and introduce them to the whole Hamilton clan that they have not had a chance to meet yet.

Nick and I have slowly been getting the house ready for baby - new couches, new chandilier for dining room, replace faucets, fix everything that is broken and has been put off, new paint etc. We want most of our list to be completed by end of the year so that way we will only have to worry about one little person - not that she will even know the difference but Mommy will! ha

I am so surprised by how fast this pregnancy is going. I cant believe that we are already over the halfway hump! Everyday I am surprised by my own reflection in the mirror because even just one day shows so many changes in my body. She is really growing and so am I! We have begun reading and talking to her so much more now since the doctor says she can now hear us. Just last night Nick told her about her family tree on his side and who everyone was- it was so cute!

Below are pictures of her new furniture! It will not be delivered till the end of October but thought you might like to see it now. Also included is a picture that Grandma Joy sent to us right after we found out we were having a girl! She went on a Adrian Joy shopping spree - this little girl is going to be so spoiled from all the people that love her! She is one lucky girl already!
