Date Night!

So on April 12th we went on our last date night! It was SUCH an amazing night, couldn't have asked for anything better. We went downtown and ate at an awesome little cafe that played the best music (Kings of Leon, who could beat that!?) The atmosphere of downtown Tulsa is just so awesome and we don't go there very often. Then we went to the Cain's (a concert hall) and watched Granger Smith! We know the drummer of the band, Dusty, so we got free tickets & got to meet and hang out with the band after the show. The music was great & the company was even better. It was such a cool experience, we had a great time! Oh and baby Cohen loved it too, after the show he was jumping all over the place. Its definite that he loves music just like hims momma. :)

Looking forward to: Our baby being born ANY DAY!

Well I'm so excited that I'm dilated to a 3, but the doctor said it could still be two weeks. I'm getting induced on the morning of May 3rd & since I'm dilating nicely she said I won't have to come in the night before- I'll just come in that morning and start the Pitocin and bam.. have this cute baby! I couldn't be more excited. I'm also pretty terrified! Not only do I have no idea what to expect out of labor and all the pain & birthing a human, but Austin and I will forever be responsible for this tiny precious little creature. Our lives are about to change in the biggest best way possible and I can't help but be a little frightened. Austin has finally decided he's excited, but I think he's nervous too.

I had a dream where I had Cohen and it was so real. He had the most beautiful blue eyes like daddy & this is the weird part... I asked the nurse if it was May 3rd (coincidentally the day I'm getting induced) and she said "No, it's April 24th" SOOO we are all kind of thinking he MAY arrive on the 24th.. we'll see!! On the 24th I'll be one day shy of 39 weeks... so basically 39 weeks. That sounds perfect to me. He will be all cooked and ready. Also the doctor said Cohen is about 7lbs but the ultrasound could be off a pound, she said she would have guessed him to be around 6 1/2 at 38 weeks so I'm hoping he is on the smaller end of the spectrum. I have this weird fear that he won't fit into any of his adorable newborn clothes I've bought him. I already took the tags off and washed everything, so I'm just super paranoid! Crazy mommy... I know!

Lame computer is not letting me upload a picture... but I have more to post later! :)

36 weeks 22 birthday & baby shower!

First of all... I'm dilated to 1 cm! That was just about the best news ever that the process has started, I know it could still be weeks, but I'm still excited! :) Thursday April 4th was my 22nd birthday! It was a great day, Vicki (momma in law) took me to get my toes done & my finger painted. It was so relaxing. After that Austin came home from work & I got to open my present. A video camera! Woohoo. I told him thats all I really wanted because I want to video this babe A LOT! It's such a nice one, he did good! That night we went to dinner at PF Changs with Austins parents & my momma. It was sooo good & the company was perfect. :) It's crazy to think I'm already 22, I feel like I just turned 21! At dinner I was having contractions and I was kind of worried, but luckily they stopped. No baby on my birthday!

Sunday April 7th was my baby shower, it was nothing short of amazing! It was Dr. Seuss themed and so cute. I almost cried when I got there and saw everything people had put together for me and Cohen. We got a ton of amazing stuff including clothes, blankies, DIAPERS, wipies, A TRAVEL SYSTEM CARSEAT!!!, a pack & play, laundry hamper, literally everything we needed, & my momma got me a Vera Bradley diaper bag!! I am obsessed with Vera Bradley stuff and I needed something girly for me since Cohen is obviously not going to be girly. I had a lot of fun & this baby is already so loved! The evening after my shower me and Austin stayed up until midnight organizing ALL of his stuff & I washed all of his little clothes & blankies. We are officially 100% ready for this babe!
