And the winner is....

I almost forgot to tell everyone. We chose a middle name for Boston!! After all the votes were in (thank you to everyone who voted!!) and after much discussion between Winston and I, we have decided on.......
Boston Alan Rozelle
I know that Chase was the winner in our online poll, but we had to go with Alan after I found out that Winston had voted for Boston Alan. Alan is also Winston's middle name and he said he thought it would be neat if his son had the same middle name. How could we have gone with anything else? Plus I am already used to yelling WINSTON ALAN... so it will feel totally natural to yell BOSTON ALAN ROZELLE :) Just thought y'all might want to know!

Shame on me!!

Holy moly where did this month go?? So I have been a terrible blogger lately and have totally ignored our site :( Sorry!!

So I will to try to catch everyone up on what has been happening in the Rozelle house lately...

Boston's room is almost completely ready!! YEA :) All of his furniture is in and all that is left to do is clean and organize. He has gotten so much great stuff from everyone. He is the most loved child I know!

My last day of work is going to be tomorrow!!! I am so glad. It is going to give me lots of time to get our house baby ready. I have a lot of cleaning and organizing left to do and I have just not had the energy to do those things once I get home from work. I feel so much better knowing that I am going to have a little time off before Boston arrives to try and get our home in order!! I must be nesting, because all I can think about is getting my house cleaned and organized.

I am also working on getting all of our Thank You cards out soon. We got SO much stuff for Boston from all of our friends and family. He definitely will not be hurting for anything!! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful support system :) Love you guys!!

Boston has really slowed down lately. I think he is just getting too big to move around much anymore. I am also being told that I have dropped and I can feel myself beginning to waddle!! Especially after a long day!! Up until this point of my pregnancy I have had very little trouble, but I am now starting to have some lower back pain, difficulty sleeping, and a few leg cramps. But other than those minor things, everything is still great :) I actually feel better today than I have in a few weeks.

Winston and I are just SO excited!! It is hard to believe that Boston is so close to coming into the world. We can't wait to meet him. I just want to see his little face and be able to hold him in my arms. I really can't wait to see our family with him. There are so many people looking forward to holding him. What a lucky boy!!

A few of our belly shots :)

I got some of our belly shots downloaded onto the computer. I know most of you have seen them, but in case you missed it :) Here they are again!! I just love them SO much.
I love this one. I am thinking about putting this photo in the frame that we have had everyone from the baby showers sign.
If any of y'all are familiar with Gruene, Texas you might recognize this place. These photos were taken at The Gristmill Restaurant. The board that we wrote on is where they normally write their waiting list during the summer. They were nice enough to let us use their chalk and board :) I have to give credit for the saying "We're Waiting" to Winston. It was his idea!

This pose was Wisnton's idea too. He was so creative that morning and really excited about the pictures!!

So sweet :)



This turned out to be one of my favorite pics out of all of them. The wind was blowing just right!! I usually can't pull off a serious face, but I think it worked for both of us in this pic. So neat :)


That is all I have for now. As soon as I get the rest of them, which should be today or tomorrow, I will post them as well.

Who knew I could get this big??

My computer is not working with me anymore... we REALLY need a new one (**hint**hint**Christmas!!). :) My point of that was that I decided to get all my photos from my camera downloaded onto a CD from Walgreen's, because I can no longer transfer them directly to my computer. When I got the CD I saw this photo of my belly that I took about a week or two ago and thought y'all might want to see it.



I swear that when I look in the mirror, my belly never seems to look this big!! Maybe my camera adds like 20 pounds :)

Putting up the baby bed!!

I know this is just a little late, but I was trying to get the photos to download so everyone could see how cute the baby bed looks in Boston's room!! We got the call on Tuesday that his baby bed had come in and we couldn't wait to go and pick it up. It is so strange to walk past his room and see a baby bed in there. His room is really starting to look like a babies room!! I can't wait until he is here to enjoy it too :)

First I would like to thank my Grandma and Grandpa Begley and my mom and dad for purchasing this baby bed for Boston!! We have such a great family and everyone is taking care of us SO much right now!!! We are truly blessed :)

So here are a few of the photos of us (a.k.a. Winston... I mostly just watched and took pictures) starting to put the bed together.



This is what our living room looked like after we opened the box the bed came in!! (Notice the oh-so-deserved-beer on the ground)


My husband was actually reading the instructions :)


I think I was in the way more than I was helping... good thing he loves me!!



We decided to put the baby doll in the bed to make sure it worked!! I promise he will not hold Boston like that :)


TA-DAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


His sweet little mobile his Ma-Maw got him!!

I know I look like I am ready to pop... it's because I AM!!!!

So that was our first experience putting together baby bedroom furniture and I have to say that it went very well!! Winston did a great job :)
