(My) Weekend Wrap-up

My dears this week has flown by. We’re definitely wrapping things up with Natasha’s wedding. Can you believe it’s 16 days away!! EEK! I’m super excited for them, it’s going to be beautiful. I’ve basically been coming up with schedules, suggestions, etc. but I though I’d share these little favor cards I created at Vistaprint

These are definitely just options and I’m not sure we’ll end up going with either one since we’re quickly running out of time, I just love the fact that you can order *Business Cards* and make them into whatever you want. This definitely would have saved us some time! And 250 cards for $20 really can’t be beat. Love it!
They ended up going with Milestone Pictures for their videographer, which is amazing and of course McLellan Style Photography is doing their photography (actually I think I forgot to mention that earlier). It’s just going to be beautiful.
I’m not sure what was decided as far as the rehearsal dinner goes, but I suggested these places….
Maggianos - Dinner is $37.95 per adult and $17.95 for children up to age
Nashville City Club

Chappy's
Merchant's
Nashville-wedding-venue-reception-restaurants

Sunset Grill Starting menu for dinner is $24.99, lunch starts at $19.99 per person. Room rental come with a $3000 minimum in food and drink
Monells Starting at $24.95 per person
Pucketts Grocery

I think that’s all I’ve got today as far as wedding news goes. I’m going shopping tomorrow to get some of the smaller details. For now- I’m off to make some white chicken chili! Mmmmm

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...

We made it! And still no baby

The first 35 weeks I prayed Anias would stay put. I may have prayed a little too hard! Yesterday was Anias' due date. At this point Eli had already made his appearance. Anias is his own little man. We had a couple of days this past week where I was sure he was on his way, one in particular when I was having contractions every 10-15 minutes after steadily building all day. Alas, it didn't happen. I've been praying that he comes before our scheduled induction Sunday, but trusting in whatever happens. Our doula was discouraging induction since I haven't had any progress and it is typically harder on your body to be induced. However, I need my parents' help and they leave the 27th. I really want to take advantage of help while I transition from being mom of one to mom of two. I had a rough time emotionally when Eli came, and I know that's natural, but I still want to use my support system as much as possible and I'm so thankful they are here to help. Our doc...

Fit for a Princess

I know this is kind of bad, but I’m ready for summer to be over. I know, I know. I’m working on being content in the present, but I honestly can’t wait to see my family again (rocking some boots and sweaters wouldn’t be so bad either). I’m off to Denver in September and I’ll be in my hometown in Wyoming for Thanksgiving. I only get to see the family every 3 or 4 months so every time it’s like a special treat. They’re so fun! Speaking of which…I was talking to my sister Tiffany about throwing a birthday party for her daughter (my niece), Kali, while I’m home since Kali’s a November baby. Tiff was down for it, but she also wanted some help in re-decorating Kali’s room and I can’t be any more excited. The idea for the very whimsical reno is to have a tree with some tangible flowers and branches. A dress-up station is also a must. Here’s some inspiration I’ve come across so far… Top to bottom, left to right: Lumme Designs Bed , Fairy Tale Bedroom found at Lyring , Linde Browning D...
