One Month Left

That's right folks. She will be here in a month and her closet looks like this... an absolute wreck. I'm still working on her room with any energy I can mustard up during the boys' naps, however, I'm very happy with the painting. So much of her room has been passed down from family. The flowers are from my wedding, vintage lamps from my Great Aunt Aileen, 3 foot daisies from college friends, my old bedroom furniture set, Ray Ray's portacrib, curtains from the previous home owners, and chairs from Grandma. The room is filled with a lucky blue bird, gerber daisies (my fave), lady bugs (which have followed me my entire life, and butterflies that my mother has been obsessed with and is about to buy a 100+ filled displayed of butterflies from around the world. There is a lot of meaning in this room and I feel so much peace and love from the women in my family when I sit in here.

Her name will be Louisa LaVon, and we plan on calling her Louie. We wanted a Louie boy or girl, and my dad's mom's name happens to be Louise and my mom's mom's name is LaVon, which I also happen to be Leah LaVon. From the 4-D ultrasound, I already see some resemblence, but I can't wait to see this sweet baby girl's face in the next month. Oh, you may be able to see the cloudy wording at the top of the room. It says "Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl named Louisa LaVon..."

I had my 34+ week check up today. My blood pressure finally went down and my labs finally came back normal. At my last appointment, I was showing beginning stages of preeclampsia, so we have been worried I was going to be put on bedrest. With a lot of prayers, I think I have snuck by a few more weeks. Now I'm praying for a healthy delivery, healthy baby and trying to avoid Ray's birthday, Feb. 27 and leap year.... did you know the BMV doesn't even recognize a leap year birthday?? Ridiculous!
