The Gavin Room

Here is a video of his room! As you can see we have all of our furniture: a crib from Aunts Judy, Maryanne and Marge; A matching changing table; a dresser that used to be black and brown until Landon surprised me and painted it to match the room; A play pen from Grampa Joe and DD; and a bassinet from Nana and Pap-pap. We also have two pictures drawn by Aunt Kayla. And of course we can't forget the Terrible Toddler Towel from Uncle Joey! Landon and I bought 8in stencils of the alphabet and painted the letters around them room, then Landon (being the wonderful man that he is) HAND DREW each picture for each letter! I put some closeups below. I had bought wood letters and spelled out Gavin Thomas Mitchell and with my swiss cheese prego brain I took off the things that were attached on the back to help them hang on the wall. So, once again, my fantastic husband came to my rescue and he had the idea to drill dowel rods into the bottom and then glue them into shelves. He also stained them cherry wood to match the other furniture in the room. He also found a fan at a yard sale that matched the colors of the room! This room is absolutely perfect!!!!!



Here are some close ups of the letters that we painted and the fantastic pictures that Landon HAND DREW :

That face...

Here are some cute pics from one of our many ultrasounds of the lil Gavin face. Here are some of our faves:


And here is one to show how much he looks like his daddy:
Even though we have these pics and videos to look at...as you can tell below WE JUST WANT HIM TO COME OUT!!!!

Still no Gavin...

Well Hello to all of our family and friends! Just wanted to keep you all up-to-date on what's going on in the Mitchell household. So in my dr's appointment yesterday I am still not dilated...and no more effaced then I was three weeks ago...
He did an ultrasound just to check on the amniotic fluid levels and all that and he told us our "lil" Gavin weighs almost 8lbs 14oz right now! I just started laughing cause i didn't know what else I should do! We asked him what was going to happen and if he was going to induce this weekend maybe... he said he wants me to go on my own so we're gonna wait one more week till my next appointment (Wednesday morning) and then he will make the decision on when to induce. He said he won't let me go past my original due date of the 18th (next friday) so it'll be sometime between now and then!
Landon has done a fantastic job of painting the baby's room! It looks so adorable! We're gonna finish putting it all together tomorrow and then we'll post pictures!
Thanx for all your support! Hope to have some better news for you all next time I post something!

Love
the Mitchells
