Nursery Update

The nursery is painted! We went with a soft yellow that matches the color in the curtain panels we ordered for the room and Lowe's did a fantastic job matching the color. I finished the final coat of paint tonight and now it only needs a few touch-ups on the trim/doors! We'll add more photos as we start to furnish and decorate our peanut's room!

Our closet has flooring!

Thanks to the hard work of my husband and father-in-law, we FINALLY have flooring down in our dressing room! It's still a bit dusty and we need to finish painting the room, but I feel like we're making progress! More photos to follow as we get the room completed.

Our First Baby Shower

This past Thursday, Ryan's mom and sisters threw me a beautiful baby shower. We still have quite a while until baby girl gets here, but since the family was all here from Florida, it was the perfect time! We had a delicious cake and received many wonderful gifts! Ryan and I are even more excited to welcome our little bean now that she has a closet full of clothes...and a travel system to ride around in! Thank you all so much for the wonderful evening! We love you!

IT'S A GIRL!

Yup...that's right! We're having a baby girl! She's 20 wks, 12 ounces, and has all of her necessary parts to be strong and healthy!

16 Weeks

We're still growing!! I feel as though I've had significant belly growth since my last photo 4 weeks ago, but my measurements show only 3/4" and 2.4 lbs. It will be interesting to see how big this belly gets!! Oh well - I'm enjoying every minute of it :-)

Amy's Baby Shower!

My dearest friend Amy is expecting her first child on June 1st (so soon)! I've posted some pictures to share. Her shower was wonderful and she received so many nice gifts! It made me very excited for my own showers to come! I got to spend this past Thursday with Amy visiting, seeing her nursery, taking a last minute trip to Buy Buy Baby and then, of course, out to Cold Stone for ice cream! We had a great day and I'm so excited to meet Baby Boy Quonce in the near future!

Ryan's New Toy

Ryan finally broke down and bought a new lawn mower last weekend...and he hasn't come inside since!! Last year it took every ounce of pleading I had to get my husband to mow the lawn, but now, I'm afraid he'll never come in for supper!! Here he is enjoying his new toy. He picked up a Troy-Bilt XP 7.75 Torque 21" Cut Self-Propelled Gas Mower. Our yard is just the perfect size to push mow, so Ryan was a little disappointed that he couldn't get himself a nice John Deere rider! Ha! I'm glad that he now has something he enjoys using to keep our yard looking beautiful!
