Hair Doodles

So I feel I have finally made the final step in preparing for a little girl. I have never been a big fan of pink or of the hair doodles you often see on babies. I think this is one of the reasons I am scared to have a little girl of my own. I don't like girly things and so in order to embrace the fact that I need to start.....I painted her room pink and broke down and went and got some things for her hair today. Just as I thought....everything was pink and no reds or purples. I will have to look around a little more. But this is what I found to start her off.

Happy Birthday Ryla

Happy 29th Birthday Ryla!!!!!! Love you and miss you so much!

35 week check up

Cliff, Aidan and I went our for my 35 week check up this morning. Happy to report that Ryla is very healthy and doing very well. Her heartbeat is strong, I gained the exact amount of weight my doc likes, and am even measuring small. So I was very excited. On a sad note for Cliff and I.....Dr. Maughn informed us this morning that he will be gone October 30th- November 14th. I'm due November 14th but we are expecting her to come a little early because Aidan did. Either way....It will be most likely that he will not be able to deliver her. We have become very attached to Dr. Maughn so we were pretty disappointed but know that the important thing is that the baby is healthy. If she does not come early...we are looking at an induction date of November 15th. I would rather she come naturally but there are 2 very good things about being induced. One would be that I would get to have Dr. Maughn and the other being that my parents would be here for her delivery, so that would be nice. I go back in two weeks and he will be checking to see if I have dialated.

35 Weeks

Ryla's Nursery

Name Reveal

Well with the nursery almost finished it would be hard to keep her name a secret any longer....So here it is. Ryla Elizabeth Mullen. Named after two of my favorite women. My best friend Ryla Rowedder and my sister-in-law Elizabeth Sears. I will post pics of the finished nursery next week.

Mobius Museum

About a month ago we got Aidan a year pass to the Mobius Children's Museum downtown. We thought it would be a great way to escape the house during those winter months when we can't get to the park. He has gone 3 times now and has absolutely loved it! The museum is all interactive. There are several things that he is still too young for but he never seems bored when we go. Last Wednesday we were able to go as a family since Cliff has recently changed his hours around with me being at home. Here are some pics of our morning.
