A Construction Zone

Baby Beasleys room is now under construction. Thursday evening our carpet came in nicely bound and delivered. We are so thankful to our soon to be grands Joyce & Andy for cushioning our feet for when we start our many nightly walks in, out, and around in there.

Friday...Mom, Emily, and I headed off to Charlotte to do some baby shopping. We spead out of Hartsville early, well as early as Benson girls can get off. It was nice to have a little girl time and have mom and Emily there to help me weed out things. We kicked off our adventure with the Tot Trade in Concord. It was a small let down since we don't actually have a baby yet and most it was clothes. So we moved on to Ikea. Mom's new heaven. :) We spent hours there in amazement at how much stuff one store can have. We were able to purchase a crib for moms house so that was a success! We dined late after a day on our feet and then rested up for a new day of shopping.

Saturday...the journey for the dresser got serious. We found a store in Charlotte that had just what we needed, however we (mom and I) were not as ready as we thought. Emily on the other hand was ready to sign, seal, and deliver. :) I got the information I needed and came home to re-measure, re-think, and re-do about all my thoughts before realizing that was the best thing for Baby Beasley.

So today it's Monday and I have called back and ordered the dresser. Yippee!!! It should arrive in 6 to 8 weeks. Cross your fingers for six so I don't have a late pregnancy break down waiting on it. It was a great weekend. Baby Beasley, Jason and I are very lucky to be loved so much.

Hartsville had a record winter storm for Valentines day this year. It was pretty but we sure are looking forward to flip flop weather...SOON!!!

Our outside rocker covered in snow!

Well for Valentines Day we got a very special visitor!! Luke could not have been happier to see one of his favorite cousins, Tate. One of Luke & Tates favorite things to do is play chase. They had so much fun together. Here are some of the pictures I got of them. Woof, Woof, Woof!!!

Check us out.....24 weeks!!

Baby Beasley and I had our 24 week check up today and all looked great. I had a few hiccups with the nurse who was COMPLETELY disorganized and got me a little frazzled, however I was quickly able to find my regular doctor who got Miss Manic Monday (Nurse) right on track. Whew...thank you Dr. Browning.

BB and I are rotating doctors in the office so we get to know each one in case we break into labor when Dr. Browning is not around and today it was our turn to see Dr. Kolb. We had a great visit with her and she said BB was right on track. Heartbeat was good and strong and at a whooping 150. I had one concern about a cramp I have at times in my right side so we had a quick little ultrasound to make sure sweet pea was not trying to bust out anytime soon. Thank goodness that was not the case however BB was breech today and those are ten BUSY toes stomping around on my right side. A painful relief! :) I have my fingers crossed that we still have plenty of time to do some flips to get into a better position before "D" day. After a little reading on the internet I think we will be ok.

Oh...FYI: Jason and I completed our all day birthing class on Saturday at McLeod. Hopefully we will be able to remember all those little tricks Diane taught us. It was a long day but full of good information for both of us. We had fun learning, laughing, and being grossed out as a team. :)
