SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!

Well...our bundle of joy decided to join us a month early!! That's right, first thing Saturday morning (midnight to be exact) I woke up with my water broke. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING we were ever told from our doctors and the childbirth classes went out the window! So I had to pack a bag and head to the hospital. Well, one heavenly epidural and twelve hours later,
Ashley Ryan Gast was born!

34 Week Picture

Okay, so technically I am no longer 34 weeks, closer to 36, but I am finally getting around to posting my belly picture! I look a bit bigger than the last one, huh?! I keep getting comments about how I am not really showing for as far along as I am, but then I had a lady tell me today, "Girls like you always end up popping out the big ones!". THANKS!! As much as I have prepared myself for a big baby, well you know! Sorry about the lack of make up and pretty attire...
it was cleaning day!

Now, on to the nursery!! We have everything now, with the exception of a few wall hangings. I've ordered letters for her name, to hang above the crib...but won't be able to hang those until after her birthday!! :-) I will also be hanging pictures of her on the wall above the glider...again, she will have to make her arrival before I have those!! And Oh My Goodness...look at all of her clothes!! Every one at the baby shower went over the top and this girl now has more clothes than I do!! Thank you again to every one that was there...it was a day I won't forget!

Post to Post

WOW...how have I let my blog go for so long without posting! We have had a pretty eventful past few weeks, but I've been the worst with keeping up with pictures, so that's my excuse! I wanted to let everyone know that I am still here in 'blogville' and have good intentions on catching up these next few days. However, right now I should probably thank my husband for the past five years! October 25th was our five year anniversary, and I could not have asked for a more loving and charasmatic husband to have celebrated with! We have filled these short years with amazing adventures and created lifetime memories, I can only imagine what the future has in store for us...and to be celebrating this anniversary while awaiting the arrival of our first child is a true gift! He will be an amazing father and I can not wait to start this next chapter of our lives!
