Well, well, well... I certainly have had an exciting(?) 48 hours, to say the least. All day yesterday we held our dance team auditions at the studio. I got there at 8am, and was scheduled to be there til at least 9pm. I was swollen, big, and surprisingly in good spirits! There was one little incident when my back started hurting so bad, I was reduced to tears, but sweet Ginger saved the day :)
SO. Around 6:30, I kinda thought my water had broken. I changed my pants and underwear (so sorry for tmi) and was still pretty sure that I was leaking.
So, I called my doctor, and of course they wanted me to go to the hospital. The amnio test came back negative, BUT, when they were monitoring me and the baby, I had about 3 really hard contractions within 5 minutes (it really felt like one huge five minute long contraction) and during that contraction, the baby's heart rate dropped from 140 to 75. So, of course, they wanted to keep me there to stay under watch for a while. I continued to have contractions about every 20 minutes, but none of them were "hard", they were pretty mild. About 2 hours passed, and no joke, just as the doctor came in to send me home, the exact same thing happened again. Super hard, long contraction, baby's heart rate dropped real low again. So, they decided to admit me and keep me under watch all night. I had a couple more random episodes, still maintaining the mild contractions every 15-20 minutes. But, by the time the doctor came to check on me this morning, I hadn't had a big scary contraction in about 5 hours, so they let me go home.
So here I am, blogging, with no baby in my arms. Boo hoo. :-( I am still having contractions every 20 minutes, pretty much on the dot. But unless they get crazy painful again, I wait this out. Til Monday, the 24th at the latest. AAHH!

It's All Happening!...
Car seat in car: check
Hospital bag packed and by the door: check
Nursery decorated: check
House clean: check (for today anyway)
Onesies, blankets and sleepers washed and folded: check
Special "big sister" toys bought and activities planned for Addy: check
We're ready! Baby Aiden can come any day now and we'll be ready! May 24th at the latest, as I am scheduled to be induced that day if he doesn't come sooner.
And by the way, May 24th is 12 days away.
Whoa.

Mother's Day
Yes, I know that today was Mother's Day, a day all about celebrating ME! (and all of the other mommy's out there, too, of course) ;)
BUT, I just have to take a moment to celebrate my husband, for he has been so sweet, patient, hard working, just amazing the last couple of days.
I am nesting. Nesting seriously. Seriously nesting. And there are lots of things that my swollen feet and ever-growing belly won't let me do. So I am constantly asking him to do things for me. Such as: change out the laundry. The 10+ loads of laundry full of baby clothes- all under 6mos size. And steam clean the carpets. And hang the pictures (I'll be honest he hasn't gotten to that one yet). This list goes on and on, and is pretty constant.
Here's the thing. He doesn't only do these things, but he actually does them with a smile on his face and a willing attitude. It's so awesome, and I love him so much.
He gave me the best mother's day gift I could ask for! Work being done with a smile! :-)
Hope you all had wonderful Mother's Days as well!

Surprise!
My dance teams surprised me with a diaper/gift card shower last Thursday. It really was a true surprise. Check out the loot we came home with!
I am so amazed by their generosity. Thank you to all of my girls and their moms. :-)

I Was Going to Wait...
Until everything was FINISHED. You know, before I shared with you all of the changes that have taken place in the Adair household lately. But there's too much spinning in my head, and too many pictures already to share, if I wait I'm afraid the post would be 2 pages long.
Most of you know, Mike and I are both on Spring Break. Our Spring Break goal was to switch Addy into her "big girl room" and, more specifically, her "big girl bed". This entailed painting the new room, decorating the new room, and transitioning her night time and nap time sleeps out of the crib. More on all of this later.
We also set a goal of re-painting the nursery and getting all of the baby clothes I needed to wash and put away in his room. I also needed to decide on nursery colors and a theme over spring break. Again, more on this later.
The last main "have to take care of" task was laundry. As in, tackle the laundry we were A MONTH BEHIND ON. I have to say, with pride, that we are FULLY caught up! Before we get to the above mentioned progress, you need to see this:
How cute is this teeny, tiny little outfit? (cell phone as a frame of reference to show that it is indeed TINY). Love it.
So, back to Addison's new room. Grammi and Grandpa came over on Sunday morning and were tremendously helpful in getting Addy's room pretty and painted. Her old room was pink and brown, so I bought a pink and brown comforter and figured all would be well in the new room. Until Addison insisted that she wanted a purple room. There was no purple anywhere in the bedding, or the quilt my mom made for her, so I was in a pickle. I finally ended up agreeing to one purple wall, and Addison helped paint :)
Once all the walls were painted, dry, and furniture was put back in the correct spots, it was time to make the big girl bed. Addy was very involved in this process :) She chose Princess and the Frog Sheets for her first night.
Once the bed was made, she was THRILLED!!!
She's saying "This is my big girl room!"
Now, onto the first night sleeping. First, I will get this part out of the way: she did GREAT! I only had to go back into the room twice, but she was never upset or crying, and she slept all through the night in there! And when she wakes up she stays in bed... "Mommy, I'm awake! Come get me!" Love it. Here are a couple of pics of story time, now that I can lay in bed with her while reading her her books. Love this. (pardon the double chin, etc.) :) (And yes, the PACIFIERS. The bane of my existence. Ugh.)
Saying "Night Night" to baby brother:
Now, onto baby boy's room. (yes, we are thisclose to choosing a name. If you know me and Mike, you understand that we do things in due time, be patient, please!)
He's getting Addison's nursery, which was pink and brown. So we painted over both colors with "toasted marshmallow". Again, Grammi and Grandpa offered their services and we were finished painting in what seemed to me to be record time.
The color scheme/ theme I chose is COMIC BOOKS! I'm so excited! Mike's been collecting comic books for well, forever, it seems, so I have chosen a few to display in the baby's room. My mom is making the bedding and the quilt. All black and red, all awesome. I can't wait to see the finished product! Until then, here's a sneak peek. Can't wait to see these framed (shadow boxed) along with a couple of framed posters that Mike got. Fun!:
