{the crib}











I can't believe how girly this room is turning out to be! Ah! But I love it!

{painting the nursery}



Who's that stud? Oh...it's my husband:) One of the best things about getting ready for a baby is sharing all this joy with Brian! We are having a lot of fun together dreaming about what the future holds and working on projects together. Of course I had to do the cutting in, but Brian did a fabulous job rolling! It feels good to have the nursery painted. At first I was really scared about the color, but now that it's all done I love it! I'm going to decorate with more greens and yellows to tone down the pink. But I love that it's bright and cheery! Don't judge the color by the pictures...it doesn't really look the same. Well, I better get up stairs and clean up...they're coming to set the crib up today! I'll post pictures of it so stay tuned!

Lucy really likes the color too!

{looking back]

Brian and I were watching Blake and Layla a few weekends ago. When I was feeding Blake his dinner, I remembered that a year ago I took a picture of him sitting there. I had to snap a new picture of him to see how much he's grown in the last year. He's now TWO! I can't believe how much he's changed!

{furniture}

Yay! I think I finally found the rest of my furniture for the baby's room:) After going to tons of garage sales, goodwill, and looking on craigslist, I finally found what I was looking for! I wanted something vintage looking that I could refinish. I'm going to go check it out tonight and see if it's in good condition. What do you think?

{25 weeks}

Here I am at 25 weeks! Almost 6 and a half months! Starting to look a little frumpy:( Oh well! You can tell I'm a little tired looking in this picture...I shot a big wedding yesterday! It was awesome and I can't wait to post pics of it on my photography blog! I was a little bummed about my season slowing down, but after yesterday and how tired I felt...and all the braxton hicks contractions I was having...I think it's for the best:)



My bedding came in this past week and I love it!!! We also bought our crib:) I'll post a picture of it when it gets here! It's really pretty!!! Brian of course spent an hour talking the price down:) Gotta love him for that:) I know I still have a few months to go...but I'm already starting to get a little anxious about everything I want to get done before our little girl gets here. Right now I'm pretty busy with the biz, but I know things will slow down here in the next month or so. We have our first shower at the end of the month. Brian's cousin Jen and her hubby Scott are throwing us a cook out couple's shower:) Should be fun!

Well that's it for now! I'm missing the sun so I better get my suit on and get to the pool for a little! Still sporting the bikini...haha. I'm debating getting a tankini as I get bigger. But that probably won't happen...I figure the belly distracts from my butt and legs!

{crib bedding}

So here's the crib bedding that I really like! I wanted to do her room in green, yellow, and pink. It's been really hard finding bedding...everything is either really cheesy and cartoony or too pink. I love this bedding because it's girly, but isn't too pink.



{a few weeks ago}

Well I got a little behind on blogging...if you follow my photography blog I've been just as behind with that too! I've really been enjoying pregnancy this past month:) Around 20 weeks I finally got a legit belly...not a bloated I just got done eating a huge meal belly, but a baby belly:) It's still not very big...in fact people act shocked when they find out I'm pregnant and almost 6 months along. I guess I'll take it as a good thing...but then doesn't that mean they think I look fat? Haha:) Also around 20 weeks I started to feel my little girly kick! It is just the BEST feeling in the whole world! I love it and can't get enough of it right now. Actually as I'm writing this, I can now see my stomach move a little bit when she moves! It's crazy! Brian's been able to feel her a few times, but she tends to freeze up when he puts his hand on my stomach. This weekend I'll be 6 months pregnant! It's amazing how fast this is flying by! I'll have to take a new pic...here's a picture from when I was 5 months.
