nursery

so I went another route today and came up with this it is not a for sure thing but it is an idea I am tossing around. Some WILL say its to girlish or boyish or ugly or whatever so keep in mind I am telling you I am considering using this and I am not really asking permission so if you don’t have anything nice to say…. well don’t say anything at all!

I think those colors can be neutral! but I like the way crib skirt below is and I love the chevron fabric….

10 whole years

highschool

10 years ago on January 13th the Love of my life, my best friend the one who knows and cares for me most asked me to be his girlfriend, I am oh so grateful for that day!

bcs champs

I know we don’t have our Crimson and White on in this picture but this was our first day in NOLA and we didn’t know we would have this opportunity  ROLL TIDE my friends!!

15 weeks and a check up

no photo belly photo this week … ekkk what a slacker!

Size of Baby:  according to baby center my  baby is about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces about the size of a apple. 

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  well iam gaining! up 7lbs from my first visit … but I am using Christmas and the trip as my reason.

Maternity Clothes: all pants are maternity some shirts

Gender: We don’t get to pick!  or look, we have decided to wait it out… this is tough

Belly Button In/Out: Still in

Stretch Marks:  yeap…but they are leftovers

Movement: tiny flutters a little more often … not often I am ready for some bigger kicks!

Sleep: good!

What I miss: DIET MT DEW!!! 

What I am looking forward to:  working on the nursery!  I have lots of ideas

Cravings/Aversions: just food! any food your food my food cold food hot food real food snack food.

 Symptoms:  the tiredness isn’t too bad  but hungry is worse, NAUSEAS and VERY MOOODY, BUT I think the nauseas-ness is getting better fingers crossed.

Best Moment This Week: My DR appointment went great! Babys heart rate was 152, I have decided I  have a small feeling were having a boy. I am not sure why but I just have the feeling. It isn’t anywhere NEAR as strong of a feeling that I had of Nate being a boy and it may be just because most people are guessing girl so I am going against the flow hehe

catching up … 14weeks

Well things have been busy around here we had Christmas with my parents the 7th and headed to New Orleans for the BCS National Championship game. I have been a blog slacker but today is the day to play catch up( this post is written as if I wrote it when I should have)!! first things first my 14 week picture and stats….

A year of newness!

GEDC1024

This is my first belly picture! 13 weeks… and of course BIG BROTHER wanted in the picture and I think he is so stinking cute!

2012 is going to be a fantastic year.. I just know it! This is a year of new things for our family. This means we (parents) no longer out number the kiddos… its one on one from there.. eeek that is a little scary but after all I am the one that eventually wants to be out numbered (crazy I am).

We are wishing everyone a blessed and happy new year!
