Changing formats for this blog

I am going to make a combined blog for both Avery and Ainsley that will be more of a photoblog. It'll be linked to the left. Here I'll continue to add milestones and updates on what's going on in Ainsley's life. Look for pictures on the photoblog in the future!

We're home!

Ainsley May was born on Wednesday, 8/23 at 3:25pm. She's a little thing -- 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and is 19.5 inches long. Avery couldn't be happier to have her "new baby" home with us!

Here are some pictures to share:

Eating 'ice chips' -- ooooh, yum...

Surprise Baby Shower

Jed's coworkers threw him a surprise baby shower yesterday. They put a sizeable dent in my wishlist at Babies R Us. People are awesome sometimes, you know?

Anyway, here's what we got for Baby #2, who obviously isn't here yet. Wah.

We got a play gym thingy that sits on the floor:


A new Boppy (since my original one is all lumpy from putting in the washing machine):


A bath sponge, some disposable changing table covers, pacifiers, and a bottle brush:


Diapers...


A bouncy seat that converts to a toddler seat (we'll just have to figure out how to keep Avery out of it...)


Various nursing supplies, teething rings, baby lotion:


A huge THANK YOU to his coworkers for their generosity :)

Today is my original due date...

the doctor changed it to the 21st because that was more in line with my ultrasound. Let me just say that I am certainly feeling overdue at this point.

Here is an updated picture, taken a week ago. I was hoping not to have a 40w picture to share, but I just might!

Nothing new to report...

Except that we've got just a little over two weeks to go! Yikes! Fortunately it's cooled off this week, so I'm not as miserable, but it's definitely different being this pregnant with a very needy toddler!
