What I'm looking forward to: my last day of work(today) and Brads basketball camp the second two weeks of June! It's always a crazy whirl wind of fun. Starting to read the book Supernatural Childbirth. FIGURING OUT WHEN SHE WILL MAKE HER APPEARANCE. 

Best moments: Getting to watch my belly go crazy with movements instead of just feeling them. Getting moved to every 2 week appts now because I'm always anxious to hear more about miss Brynn.

Michigan trip!

Tuesday, May 20, 2014



Hope all of you beauties had a great weekend!

This last Thursday Brad, my mom and I headed out for a long weekend in Michigan for my cousin Sams' graduation from High School. I had definitely been looking forward to this trip for quite some time. We hadn't been there since I was 16 and Brad was finishing off meeting the rest of my family on my moms side. We had yet to meet my cousins two sweet boys so we soaked up lots of time with them.

The weather was absolutely beautiful in the 40s-60s. I will say it is nice to be back in scorching hot weather in Texas. Although, I wish we could have brought all the beautiful green grass and trees with us! 

The two full flying days were pretty brutal on my preggo feet so I got a nice relaxing pedicure today before I finished off our loads and loads of laundry. Just 6 days of work left until I will start my extreme nesting for baby Brynn! Here is my photo dump from our trip! ENJOY!






Lunch at Cheap Charlies. So sad I will never have there breadsticks and cheese sauce again during my pregnancy. 




My mom and her siblings. (missing one more)

The graduate Sam!

and Uncle Tom beat Brad :P


Our sweet family, missing some.


We had bonfires two nights and they were our favorite.











Owen!

NURSERY REVEAL!

Wednesday, May 14, 2014

We finally got our new camera in so I could take some decent quality pictures of the finished nursery! Yes, I moved all the huge piles of diapers, high chair and baby basketball hoop so it would look some what organized. Need to get my crap together and figure out spots for all of that! BTW still obviously learning my camera so they are better than phone, but not to great. 

Our theme is somewhat elephants with geometric shapes. I kind of just found what I loved and went with it. Also, since we will be leaving to go overseas in October she will only be a bitty baby in this room for 3 months. Then the toddler times will start. So, wanted it to be able to grow with her. 

We have a small room and still needed to utilize it as much as possible as a guest room so we worked with what we had. I am very pleased with how it turned out and can't wait to add Baby Brynn!




My grandma & my mom made this pink blanket for Brynn before I even knew I was pregnant. 




That elephant is a puzzle, Two glass jars are full of bows as well as the bows on the frame, and the tall skinny jar is full of pacis.

As you can see we have tons of books from the shower that wouldn't fit in the shelves. 


-Crib- Found on Craigslist for $40(Bargain shopper!)
-Crib sheet & changing pad cover- Modfox on Etsy
-Hello Baby Pillow & Boppy Cover- IvieBaby on Etsy

Baby Showers for Brynn..

Tuesday, May 6, 2014

This past weekend was full of excitement! We had two of our couple friends come into town from Lubbock Friday night to begin the festivities on Saturday. My sweet friend Natalie from college drove in from Frisco for the day to be at my baby shower on Sunday. I'm telling you guys she is a gem. 

The first party goin' on was Brads Dudes & Diapers BBQ. One of our friends was so nice to let us use his backyard for the BBQ. I went over early to help get everything set up. We got tons of food including: burgers, boudin sausage, chips, fruit, Brads favorite candy/snacks, and a cookie cake. They literally demolished all the food. Which I am thankful for so it isn't sitting around the house for me to eat. Brad ended up bringing home so many diapers/wipes! I was truly overwhelmed at the love his friends showed him for becoming a new daddy. 










Sunday at 2 was my baby shower! My mom and a few friends refused to tell me what anything was for my shower so I had been looking forward to this day for quite some time. With that said I'll let the picture overload do the talking!






"Ready to pop" popcorn, sour gummy worms and an ombre cake. swoon. 

This is my cravings bar. Greek yogurt with granola, colby jack cheese, fruit,  and more. 

The pink lemonade with patterned straws were my absolute favorite!




Homemade wreath for our door at the hospital!




Brad made an appearance at the end to load everything up. I just love him. 




Us girls relaxing after the shower before Natalie made the long drive home!








We came home with an abundance of things! I have said this so many times since my shower, but I am over joyed by how many people love our little so much without meeting her. Everyone went above and beyond for her and we are so thankful. We had the greatest two days we could have asked for celebrating Brynn. She is the light of our lives and it means the world to us that others think the same. 

Once I can find a spot for everything we got especially the boxes and boxes of diapers I will do our nursery reveal post! Now to start those thank yous! Which I am more than sure I will ball the entire time while writing them.
