For the Princess

Okay this room is not super princess-y, but, I’m sure if we have a little girl she will rule the roost. I can’t seem to get away from sweet animals and bright colors, but I’m not sorry. If we have a girl, I do want the room to have a hint of elegance, but not so much so that you might not realize you’re in a child’s room.

How genius is it to hang baskets on the wall like that? I’m 90% sure that’s happening.

This board, as you may notice, has two mobiles. I’m a little obsessed with mobiles, so I’m thinking I’d make one for over the changing table, and the other over the crib. I LOVE the fairy mobile. This woman is so super talented and she makes custom orders. That is one thing I must buy if we have a girl. No exceptions, no replacements.

We might also go with a little ocean/mermaid theme. My friend Jayci nicknamed the baby Sirenita because at 7 weeks 3 days the baby looked a lot like a peanut/mermaid haha. I do think it’s sort of perfect though because I swear he/she is only happy in the water. I mean, I’ve had a lot of minor pregnancy side effects from nausea to cramps, but when I take a shower it’s like he/she just chills (even though I can’t feel her yet). Could be all in my head, but hey, here we go.

Dolphin humidifier, mermaid & seahorse print, nautical sheets, coral pillow, starfish pillow, turtle nightlight, mermaid mobile, scripture print, storage.

In all honesty I would foresee us mixing the two themes together. How could I not have that scripture print or the ‘You are so loved’ print? I’m totally in love with both. Now I just have to decide on a mural.

Ok and…. I know this is getting long, but seriously look at this. I think we need this. It is so sweet and cute. I want our baby to be surrounded by scripture, not just in their crib but on their walls and in their daily lives. They need to know they are loved by us and by God from the get-go, that's just a good foundation for life in my personal opinion. Sadly, it isn’t sold, but I think I know a few people I might could talk into making us one.
Surround your sleeping baby with God's word. Scripture baby bumper.: "I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Another thing our baby girl would need? These little ballerina shoes. Now I know she won’t need shoes, but they are so darn cute I can’t stand it.

That’s it for now! I’m going to try The Big Cheesy with my friend Aimee today and I’m super stoked. Tell me a goat cheese sundried tomato grilled cheese does not sound delish? Okay, okay, I can’t eat that while pregnant but I will have something tasty. Have a good weekend!

The Velveteen Rabbit

We’re at week 32! Only 8 more weeks to go. Yesterday we had our final baby shower and it was just adorable. My in-laws threw us a Velveteen Rabbit themed shower. Take a look at these pictures my sister-in-law took of all the sweet decorations. Isn’t it just adorable? I was so sad to tear down the diaper cake, but that wreath is going to go on his nursery door I’m sure. Eli is so lucky to have a crafty grandmother. Not only did she decorate the shower, but she also made him a ton of personalized burp cloths, onesies, pants, blankets, and bibs. Aren’t they soooo cute? I’m thinking about changing his going home outfit to be his little lion onesie she made him with his name embroidered on it. We’ll have to see! Oh and that bear backpack! Isn’t it precious? I can’t wait to pack it up for him to go out to his Mimi’s. He’ll just love it.                     Now for his week 32 check in… Weight Gain:   29 lbs in 32 weeks. Crazy! I did gain 5 of those lbs wh

I’m so depressed! The Halloween party we were planning was cancelled (yea-that means we cancelled it). I LOVE love love Halloween, but I’m okay with a low-key night since many of our friends are going to be out of town the weekend we had planned to throw the party. Last year Josh and I spent time handing out candy to neighbor kids and watching the shining. Of course I decorated like crazy, but this year I think I’ll probably keep the decorating outdoors and use the food to celebrate the occasion. Here’s what I had planned food-wise for the Halloween Party. For (eh-hem, real food) snacks.         Trick or Treat Turnovers                                                       Pizza Mummies For crunching and munching on                   Scarecrow Crunch For dessert       Candy Corn Rice Krispies                        Monster Mash Pudding                  Pretzel and Brownie Skeletons I’ll probably let Josh pick out what I make for the occasion since all of it looks SO good

Ready Set, Have You Met...

In the event you don't know, the end of that lyric is "Robocar Poli" which has been playing often in this house lately. Anias and Eli both love it, and with the spiders, ticks, rain, and overall grouchiness of a sleep deprived almost 2 year old I'm just going to roll with it. Josh and I have been busy trying to fix up the house, but unlike those before and after seemingly instant photos it's taking over a month to just finish what we've already started, but we're getting closer! We're taking a long weekend together without the kids this week up in Chicago and I'm excited! It will be nice to explore a new place and see one of my favorite all-time bands: Beach House. Anias: 23 Months I say new words like ...Poli (requesting the show Robocar Poli), mowing, kick it, mint, bike, night night, eat it, cereal, battery, sheep, chick, here you go Mama My favorite food is ...macaroni, but I also like hamburgers and won't hardly have a m
