Starting the Baby Room!

So yesterday my mom and I found the crib and bedding for Landon's room!! I absolutely cannot wait to get everything together! Today I am going to clean out his room because we are currently using it for storage. We have found sooo much cute stuff, including clothes, blakets and even a coming home outfit! They will come deliver and put the crib together this weekend! And then in two weeks I will have my first shower!!! AHH! I am so excited. I love everything I registered for and I cannot wait to use it! I still have 3 more months.. but it is going by so fast! This semester has flown by. I knew that would happen but you dont realize it until you are actually experiencing it. Taylor and I are doing really well in school. I am making 2 As and 1 B and Taylor is making all As and Bs as well. His band is playing at the UTSA Battle of the Bands this coming weekend and he also got a really cool show in San Marcos in November. We will have another baby shower November 19th in Port Neches and we are going to spend Thanksgiving there. We will spend Christmas in Corpus then go back to PN probably the 26th of Dec. Its crazy because we are having to split holidays now. I've always just gone home. This will be my first Thanksgiving without my family, but Ill be with a new family. Its just what happens when you grow up I guess.

Its still hard to believe all of this is happening. Taylor and I are still doing really well. Things are running smoothly, something we both didnt quite expect. It has been a blessing though. I am a hardcore planner and detail oriented and hes sooo laid back. I think we are a good balance for each other. He was in San Marcos yesterday hanging out with his friend Chris who will be the Godfather of the baby. Tori is the Godmother. I think we both picked good reliable people. I have known Tori since middle school and am 100% confident that she will fulfill her job duties as Landon's Godmother. Taylor is the same with Chris. Like I have said before, we are both lucky to have such supportive friends. Bailey and Paige got to feel Landon kicking the other day. I love how all my friends want to be there for me. I want them all to be there in the waiting room so they can see him on his first day. We decided that it will just be Taylor and I in the delivery room then my mom will come in right after to help me and take care of my while everyone goes to see Landon. I need to write a birth plan, register at the hospital and find a pediatrician. Those are my goals for month 6.

I have been feeling good. Walking around all day yesterday was hard on my feet and lower back. Thats whats been bothering me the most, my back. Sleeping witht the boppy pillow has helped some but I think that its just hard to either be sitting all day or standing all day. I need support. Landon is moving around like crazy. I am starting to see him kick just by looking at my belly. It will move and its so funny to see. Hes been getting up really high in my belly right close to my ribs and above my belly button. Hes pretty strong and very active. It is fun to wonder what he will be like and look like. I am hoping he is a good baby so I can take him places, but you never know. Jenna and Blake were colicky and so was Taylor. We will just have to see! I go to the doctor on Tuesday again and Jenna is coming with me. I think she will really like seeing him.

Ok thats all for now. I have to finish some household chores today!!

Love,
Alyssa, Landon and Taylor
