100 Days!

Phew! Milestone! I will finally be in the double digits tomorrow, and to me, that is a lot closer to meeting Lauren. Though, I still think counting weeks makes it seem closer to the end. Think about it, saying I only have 14 weeks left sounds a lot better than 99 days left, but I think it's all because the number is smaller. Anyway, I am excited to reach another milestone and I will have another picture to follow as soon as I look different from my last belly shot! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Check and Check!

Mark two more items off of my 'to do' list! I finally got Lauren's letters finished! After a problem with the wrong ribbon color, I found one that matched the wall color (not what I wanted to do, but had to do). The letters are now the focal point on the wall and not the ribbon. I'm still thinking I need to add more brown to the letters, what do you think?

Also, I finished spay painting the baskets I am going to use as storage - to make up for the lack of storage we have in our house! The inside of the baskets are bare because I am going to make liners to go inside them, once I find a fabric! More on those to come....

Busy Weekend!

This weekend was full of activities! Thursday, I worked a half a day, went up to IKEA, the finished the night off at a friend’s house.

Friday, Aaron was golfing for a majority of the day, so I got to clean and spray paint the baskets for little one's room.

Saturday, we got a call from my neighbor who is an ultrasound tech. and was willing to do a 3d ultrasound for me! Fun right? Wrong, Lauren decided to be stubborn (where'd she get that ;) ) and have her arms in front of her face for the whole hour and fifteen minutes we were in there! Though, we did get some great profile shots and body part shots. Also, it is 100% confirmed, she is in fact still a she! After the ultrasound, we were off to my Uncle's for a 4th of July party. The party, though small this year, was great, that is until my Aunt fell and broke her hip! We had the EMS come and take her to the hospital where she has since had surgery and is recovering.

After all that excitement, church was not in the picture for Sunday morning, so we could get things done around the house that was not able to be completed before. Sunday afternoon, we had Jake's 3rd birthday party to attend, and let me tell you, that boy is FULL of energy!

Here are some shots to sum up the weekend!

A Weekend Well Spent :)

Here is the result of my ENTIRE weekend, though I have to say, it was well worth it! I will take better pictures when the lighting is better. Please, tell me what you think!

The Final result!

Finally!

I think I finally have a hold of my registry! Man, that thing takes a LOT of review and knowledge to complete. I mean, I am not only thinking about what it is I want, I have to think of what Lauren will need. But alas, I have a good handle of it and it can be viewed here: http://www.toysrus.com/registry/index.jsp

Gotta Do This....

I am going to Jazz this up with the color in the room and they will be hung with ribbon above her crib.

Paint Colors

Here are the colors that match the bedding set. So the top part of the wall will be the Beige color, then about 1/3 of the way up from the floor I will do a 5" stripe going around the room to give the illusion of a chair rail and then the bottom will be the pink. I have some fun ideas to do with the top portion, but you will just have to wait and see what those are! Stay tuned!

22 Weeks, 2 Days Pregnant

Not only am I visibly pregnant, I have now started the maternity wear. So many women are afraid to wear maternity, but I come on… IT IS SO VERY COMFORTABLE! I can breathe and I bet Lauren isn’t crammed in there like Aaron thinks she is when I have “normal” clothes on!

Here is a picture to update “the bump”

Chagin' it up!

I have decided that while pictures of my ever growing belly are highly entertaining for some, I needed something else to add to this blog. Thus, I am going to show you all the progress that is being made on Lauren's room. Though I have only started cleaning it out, I will then need to clean, prime, paint and fill it with all of her things that are taking over the seldom used dining room.

So follow me on this journey... here are the before pictures.

It's a Girl!!!

Lauren Brynn will be here around October 22, 2008 and we couldn't be more thrilled! While the idea of a girl had to grow on Aaron, I think he might be more excited than I am now, which is hard to accomplish but we are loving it so far!

Though we only got one good "shot" to know it's a girl, the tech is 100% certain that she is in fact a she! I will also have the new 3D/4D ultrasound pictures taken (hopefully) over the 4th of July weekend.

Here she is!

After we had our doctor's appointment, we were off to Babies R Us to start registering. This is going to take A LOT more time than one would think and many changes will be made until it is finished, I will keep everyone posted. Then on Saturday, Aaron and I spent the afternoon in Monroe, more specifically at the Carter's outlet where we spent some $$$ on the little one. But I have sworn to Aaron that I will not purchase any more clothing, in mass quantities, but I will splurge if it's on sale ;) Thus why this was not posted sooner!

Also, here is what I looked like at 20 weeks.
