The Nursery is Done!

I just wanted to post some pictures of the nursery. Tim finished putting up the butterflies and the shelves over the changing table and he picked up the glider this morning. All we need now is Ella. We were very lucky to get almost everything that we needed for her at the shower and last week we picked up a few things so we are ready for her. Here is the finished product.

I found these sheers and silk curtains at Pottery Barn for kids and I couldn't help myself. Thank god Tim can't say no to me when I comes to his baby girl.

I don't want to take apart her diaper cake that Auntie Carrie and Grandma Blaha made for her yet.

Her name above the crib.

Tim put up the shelves today over her changing table.

Our new glider that we will get a lot of use in months and years to come. We found the butterflies at USA Baby, but they were the wrong colors so I had to do some repainting before they could go up.

And last but not least, Jersey loves the new pack n play. We found her sleeping in the bassinet part this afternoon.

32 Week Update

I had my 32 week doctor appointment today. Everything is going great so far. I'm progressing good, all my measurements are on track and my blood pressure is perfect. Ella's heartbeat was 152 bpm and active for the doctor.

A Very Special Thank You.

On Saturday we had our beautiful baby shower. I want to send a special thank you to Ella's Godfather Dan who planned the baby shower and Grandma and Grandpa Blaha who funded the baby shower. It was all I hoped and wished it could be. It was an amazing day for both Tim and I. Thank you to all who came and gave us wonderful and generous gifts for Ella. I will post pictures of the shower when I get them. I was also lucky enough to have my sister Stacie with my two beautiful nieces fly in from Florida for the shower. Here is a cute picture of Rhyan, Tim, Alina and Jersey.

30 Week Update

I know two updates in one day. I had my 30 week check up with the doctor this week. Everything is going good, her heartbeat was a strong 146 bpm. The doctor did say that I need to stay off my feet at home because I'm always on my feet at work. She said that I need to keep it to 40 hours a week. I will take her advice so that I don't have to go on bed rest. Tim and I are doing the final touches on Ella's room(more pictures to come when it is finished). We did get a shelving unit for her closet for some more storage. My Mom and I went to babies r us this weekend to pick up our shower gift from them. They bought us our travel system and since it was so big I thought that I would post some pictures on the blog since we will not have it at the shower. I can't believe that my shower is a week away, I can't wait.

Here is Ella's new ride. Thanks Mom & Dad Milinski.

Here is a 30 week belly pic. She is really growing. As I'm writing this update she is kicking and punching like crazy. I love that I can feel so much more that she is getting bigger. I love to sit on the couch and watch my belly move and shift. I think this is my favorite part of being pregnant. I'm so excited that my sister Stacie and my 2 nieces are flying in Wednesday from Florida for the shower. I'm so glad I finally get to meet Rhyan. I hate that they live so far away. I will enjoy my time with them next week. Hope to see everyone next Saturday.

A Happy New Year

Sorry it has been a while since my last post. This Christmas Ella got the most I think, but we knew that was going to happen. This year Tim and I decided that we would get one big gift for the two of us and since we have a little one on the way we needed a video camera. I really think Tim will have more fun with present than me. We got a Sony HD(if you know Tim, that is no surprise that it is Sony). It has awesome features that we can't wait to use with Ella. Thank you to everyone that helped with the best buy gift cards. Here is some pictures of what she got from Auntie Carrie & Uncle Craig and Grandpa & Grandma Blaha.


I think that Grandma Joy's favorite new store is Janie and Jack.....she got Ella an adorable outfit for next Christmas.

Mom Blaha also got me my Coach diaper bag. This way Ella and I are in style when we got out.

Here a cute picture of Jersey. This is what she does most mornings when I get ready. She is to cute for words. I don't know what she is going to do when Ella comes...she's not going to be the baby anymore.

I hope that everyone had a happy and safe New Year. We spent New Year's Eve with the dinner club again, but this year we had three new babies added to the group. It was great to see Tyler for the first time...he is the newest member of the dinner club. I can't believe that it is 2010, but so excited that Ella will be here soon.

Love Stef & Ella
