28 weeks

Hey everyone!!! I figured it was time for a blog update!! The nursery is starting to come along nicely. I can't wait to get it all done and see our sweet Ainsley in it! :) Only 12 more weeks......WAHOO! Here are some updated pics of the nursery so far....we still have a LOT to do  

I am still looking for some pink panel curtains to go with the valance.....I just haven't found any I like yet. I also got the cutest frame from Hobby Lobby that goes PERFECTLY!! Now it is just time to accessorize :)

Today, I am 28 weeks! I told Jim the closer we get the longer it seems to drag out. We are just so ready for her to be here!! Here are some highlights so far ( I stole this from another blog!!)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 28 weeks 

Baby Ainsley weighs:  about 2 and 1/2 pounds 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have gained 12 pounds so far...and I am about to hit a number on the scale I NEVER thought I would see :) However, I am still working out regularly!!

Maternity Clothes: A must at this point!

Sleep: Sleeping has not been that great lately. I just can't seem to get comfortable and toss and turn all night long.

Best Moment this week:  Just getting to see her moving all around in my belly....it is so neat and weird all at the same time!

Movement:  ALL the time now!  

What I miss: My daily Dr. Peppers 

What I am looking forward to:  Jim and I are starting our Baby Class this Thursday!! I can't wait to learn all kinds of things....and see how Jim reacts to it all!!

We hope everyone has a GREAT week! I will update this weekend on our class :)

Love, 

Jim, Katie, and Baby Ainsley

Baby Fun :)

Well, my Christmas Break is quickly coming to an end. Jim and I did have a GREAT Christmas and New Years.......I can't believe we are in 2010!!! Ainsley will be here before we know it! We are starting to get all of her things ready!! All of the furniture is here and put together in the nursery. The painter is hopefully coming tomorrow to get the room all ready! I can't wait. I will post pics of before and after!!

Jim and I also went and started registering! This was so much fun....but very stressful at the same time! We have a LOT to learn. There are so many different types of bottles, diapers, creams, strollers, etc. We did get somethings registered at Babies R' Us and we are also going to go to Target. Here is a picture of Jim testing out one of the strollers.....I can't wait till we have her here and actually in the stroller! 

I am now 26 weeks and 3 days pregnant!! When I looked at the ticker at the top of the blog, I was SO excited to see it said only about 95 days to go!! WAHOO :)

What is happening at 26 weeks?? Well, Ainsley is weighing about 2 pounds now and is about 9 inches long. Also happening this week....her eyes are beginning to open. The colored part of the eye still doesn't have too much pigmentation, so it is still too early to guess the color of her eyes! Though I am hoping she has Jim's beautiful blue eyes :)

My goal this year is to start updating the blog at least twice a week! So keep reading and checking in on us and leave us a message to let us know you are out there!

             Love, 

Jim, Katie, and Ainsley

Christmas Recap

Hello All! I hope everyone had a FABULOUS Christmas. We certainly did :) Jim and I are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. We headed to my Grandmother's house (mom's mom) Christmas Eve morning and spent time with family. My dad's family also lives near there, so Jim and I headed over to my Aunt Debbie's house to visit with them as well! Overall, it was a GREAT time had by all! Here are a few pics:

In baby news: I will be 26 weeks on Tuesday!!! I can't believe it is going by so fast, yet so slow at the same time :) I passed my sugar glucose test.....which is great news considering my sugar has been really high. Baby Ainsley is moving all the time now! Jim and I can just sit and watch her moving in my belly.....so neat and weird!!! We have got to start getting things ready for her! We have a lot to do on her nursery and we haven't even registered for anything yet. We are going to start a baby class on January 7th....I am so excited to learn more about the whole process! Here is a pic of me from Christmas day.....I am 25 weeks and 3 days pregnant

We hope everyone has a great week!

Love, 

Jim, Katie, and Ainsley

Getting Ready for Baby!!

Well.....I am a blogging slacker!! Sorry :)

Lots has been going on around our house lately!! I am now 23 weeks....only 17 weeks to go! I can't believe it!! What is happening this week? Baby Ainsley is about 8 inches long and just over a pound in weight....boy has she grown! In the next month, she will double in weight. I have gained 7 pounds so far and continue to walk and exercise. Jim and I went to the dr. last week and my sugar was really high....so we are having to do the Glucose test next Thursday. Please pray that everything goes smoothly, and we are both healthy.

We also got her crib and bedding in this week!! we are still waiting on the dresser/changer combo to arrive....but in the mean time we have put together the crib and put the bedding in! Now we just need our sweet little girl here :) Here are some pics:

THANKFUL!

I wrote this post at Thanksgiving.....but never got around to posting it! Better late than never :)

Happy LATE Thanksgiving! I have so many things to be thankful for this year.

- I am thankful for my supportive family and friends

- thankful for my amazing, selfless, supportive best friend I call my husband

-thankful for this precious miracle that God has chosen for Jim and myself

- thankful that so far this precious baby is healthy and right on track :)

- thankful Jim to to feel his little girl kick the other night!!

- thankful for the beautiful house Jim and I live in

-thankful for a job I LOVE and the sweet kids that greet me daily :)

-thankful for a doctor that Jim and I both like to go see

- thankful for my loving God

- and THANKFUL and BLESSED for the wonderful years I DID get to spend with my sweet parents. They created such wonderful memories and traditions for me that I can't wait to pass on to my little one :) They truly were the BEST parents anyone could have asked for and I am THANKFUL!!

We have finally decided on a name for our sweet little one. Ainsley Christine.....I just love the name Ainsley and Christine was my mom's name, so it is extra special! We are over halfway there!! WAHOO....I can't wait to meet this precious little girl! I have been feeling her move and Jim got to feel her kick on Monday, November 29th!!! It was so exciting!!! What a special time this is for us :) I just love how attentive Jim already is to this baby....and I can't wait to see him when she finally gets here!

I will leave you with some pics from Thanksgiving Day:

Baby Cobb is GIRL!!!!

Shame on me for not blogging sooner! Jim has been on me to update the blog for days and days :)

We found out that Baby Cobb is a GIRL! We are just so excited!! We are still working on a name...but we are almost certain her name will be Ainsley Christine. Ainsley I just love and Christine was my mom's name....so it is EXTRA special to Jim and I!! I have been looking at bedding and have found some things I really like...but I just can't bring myself to buy anything yet. I just have this underlying fear that Baby GIRL Cobb will turn into Baby Boy Cobb! I know I am crazy!! :)

Here is a picture of me at 19 weeks...steadily getting bigger :)

I have also already started decorating for Christmas....I know I am crazy!! I just couldn't wait. Here are the pics from the banister....next up the new 12 foot tree we bought last week!! So exciting! I LOVE the holidays!!

Anxiously waiting!!

Happy November!! I can't believe October has already come and gone! Christmas will be here before we know it! :)

We go to the dr. Tuesday to find out if Baby Cobb is a girl or a boy! I can hardly wait :) Be sure to check back because I will be updating!!

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Love, 

Jim, Katie, and Baby Cobb
