Hello All & Waiting!

So I have finally caved in and created a blog to let everyone know what's going on in the McLendon household. Here's the newest information on our little bundle of joy:
Avelyn (our soon-to-be daughter) will NOT COME OUT!!! I'm currently at 37 1/2 weeks and had my second check up to see if we've made any progress. I've gone nowhere! Nada, zip, zilch, zero. In fact the doctor now thinks that I will easily go passed my due date of July 27th. My grandmother has jinxed me! Don't get me wrong, I love my Grandma Peggy, but she made Avelyn this beautiful quilt and on the back, put July 2009. Watch me easily go into August now. Ugh!! But that's OK...according to Dr. Robbins, Avelyn isn't even 6 lbs yet. So she needs just a little bit more baking. She certainly feels bigger than that to me! I will say that I have had a very relatively easy pregnancy. Yes, we had difficulty conceiving her, but I've been so fortunate and couldn't ask for anything better. So in the mean time...we'll keep waiting and dreaming of our precious little girl.
Since I've been out of school, the only thing I've done is work on VBS stuff for church and work on Avelyn's room. Here are some pictures:


Her name & the painting above her crib were made by me.


Cute little dragonflies my aunt bought for me for my shower. They look so cute in her room!





The bow holder was made by my friend Andrea & my friend Marsha, bought her the cute little "Time Out" chair (although I don't know how much Avelyn will appreciate it, I personally love it!).


To the right of her closet is a growth chart my friend Jaci made for her. I have such talented friends & family!


Nana K made her the blanket on the chair.


Her many clothes! We almost have to dip into another closet!


This was her daddy's special project. He did all of the decorating!


Jeff even made the display boxes.



So that's it in a nutshell for now! See 'ya later!
