Baby baby baby

Forgive my lack of updates. I have been busy, overwhelmed and emotional. We will just blame the pregnancy for those last two…

I finally finished my garden in the backyard. It doesnt have a ton of flowers, but it has windmills, garden stones and SOME flowers. Its cute, and iris adores it.

Brandi and Laura helped me paint the baby’s room last week. Its just a neutral brown, so I dont have to paint it when we move, but I plan on doing a lot of stencil work in there.

Nathan and I set up the baby’s crib, and THAT was a chore. It was given to us, so it had no instructions, and I have ZERO patience for ANYTHING these days. Really. Just ask Nathan… Anyway, its up, and it looks good! (no pics til I finish setting the room up!)

My baby shower was last weekend, and let me tell you. The girls did an AMAZING job with it!!! The theme was owls, to match the room, and everything was just perfect.

I have absoltely THE most amazing friends in the world… really. They make me tear up just thinking about how great they are to me.

I had a midwife appointment this week, and everything is great! She said the baby is already head down, and his heart is good and strong! Makes me smile…

I have the bassinet set up in my room, and now the little vibrator/mobile just needs some batteries. And BOY, do I have a lot of new little clothes to wash! Thats my favorite part. :)

Iris is handling the changes around the house very well. She and I started her little learning/preschool books. They are really pre-pre-school books, actually, but she LOVES them! I also bought her a little baby doll she carries around in her Easter basket. Ha! Other times, she carries her on her shoulder. I love it.

Speaking of Easter, ours was lovely. We went to a church nearby for the helicopter candy drop! Then we had family and friends over for a BBQ, and went to see Dave and Laura’s Easter play at their church.

I’ve been sleeping a LOT lately. Now its only 9 pm, and Im headed to bed. Just wanted to give you all a little update. Have a fabulous rest of the week! :)


Happy (but rainy) Monday

I went in for my 6 month midwife appointment this morning, and all is well! The baby’s heartbeat was perfect; my blood pressure and urine work (ew!) were perfect, and my midwife was perfect. I adore her.

I also figured out what Im doing for Ruffles and Stuff’s contest. It’s a surprise, but I’ll give you a hint… I’ll be using these colors. Not this fabric, but definately these colors. And Im VERY excited about it!

I don’t have time for crafting today as I have a TON of laundry to do (thanks to being sick last week, Im behind…) and tonight is Mocha Monday with my ladies. But I will say that Im in the middle of a fabulous project thats coming alone nicely- a family picnic blanket. Cant wait to finish it and post pics!

Last but not least, Happy Birthday to my husband, Nathan. Hes 31 years old today! We celebrated over the weekend with a barbeque and lots of friends. Heres a sweet pic I found from our dating days… Love you, Nathan!!


Homemade chalkboard for my boy

I finished the chalkboard for the baby. He can use it someday, right???


Celebrating The Boy

I just found this blog and they are featuring BOY crafts all month! And of course there are tons of fabulous ideas for my new little addition. Can’t wait to make cute little things for him. :)


Pregnancy Update

I went in for a midwife visit this morning. It went well of course! Baby is healthy, happy and squirmy! Im 21 weeks now and finally getting that nice round bump I love so much. I like to hold him and cuddle him- as best as I can for not being able to wrap myself around my own belly. He kicks like a crazy kid! Always turning, moving, hitting and stretching. I loooove feeling him move around in his happy little home.

In all the pictures I see of him, he is cuddling my placenta. Isn’t that a weird word? Placenta.

Good to know he’s a cuddler!

Thank you, God for my healthy baby boy. Continue to protect him and help him grow.

I love you, Baby Royal!
