One More Month.......

Here's the latest picture of Melissa and her belly. Her due date is September 29th so that means only one more month to go before we finally get to meet Miss Avery Grace Stone! We know of course that this could come sooner or a little later but none the less, we are all getting anxious. Melissa has been feeling good but she has been getting a bit more tired as expected of course. Her weight gain has been below 30 lbs. and has slowed a little bit lately. We finally made it to the Carter's outlet in Freeport last weekend and were really happy to find all kinds of really cute clothes for more reasonable prices than we've paid for some of the other stuff we've bought so lookout Freeport, we'll be back soon!
Avery's room is almost complete.....just a few finishing touches to go. The room is very cute. Melissa and Gavin have done a fantastic job putting everything together! Danny and his friend Tim built a new shelf for Avery's room and Danny has been working hard to get it completed. Melissa got the idea from Pottery Barn Kids. This shelf is almost an exact duplicate and costs much less to make. Here is a picture of the shelf at it's present state......He's almost finished, he just has to paint the roof and attach the back.

I'm very excited to be able to be with Melissa and Gavin at the hospital when Avery is born. I was so young when my own kids were born and don't remember a lot of details but I also did not watch them as they were being born. I know that this will be very special for me to watch her come into the world. I'm not as excited about watching Melissa go through labor but I'm confident that she will do really well. She is a real trooper when it comes to being in pain or being sick. She's just quiet and wants to be left alone so I'll be the one sitting in the corner stressing out unless she needs me.....lol. This is all subject to change of course so keep watching the blog because I'll post as soon as Avery is born and probably tell all of you how beautiful she is and how well Melissa and Gavin did! They are going to make great parents for Avery!
