Biker Baby

So I had the baby's room all picked out in my head. It was going to be sailor themed with blue white and brown/tan and it was going to be soft and nice and blah blah. Then husband came along and happened to like everything that was the opposite of what I liked.

Seriously.

We walked around buy buy baby and everything I liked he didn't and everything he liked I didn't. It was a disaster.

So after thinking a lot on the subject, I think I've come up with a happy compromise that we will get along with. This collage is just some inspiration so it's not quite what I'm going for but it gives you a main idea.

Vintage motorcycle baby.

I'm probably going to do blue and white walls with brown and orange accents in the form of art, curtains, bedding, etc.

But I'm starting to love the vintage motorcycle theme. I'm probably going to get a few prints like the Keep Calm and Ride On one {soooo cute} and the pop art looking one, and then accent it with goggles, helmets, little motorcycle stuff, etc. I don't need a lot, just a few things. The hardest part will be finding a bedding that I like. The one in this picture is good with the color scheme but the pattern is a little too intense for my style.

As for furniture, we've talked and we are probably going to end up buying a new crib and dresser set. We plan on having more children so we may as well will start new and then pass it down to the next baby that comes along in a few years. What do you think?

short and sweet

I know I already mentioned this but... I LOVE CHRISTMAS. i have pine scented candles burning almost constantly while i listen to Christmas music on pandora. ahhh pandora.

I still need to work on my christmas shopping. funny how i had all this money and did all this shopping on black friday yet, i only bought a few gifts and the rest was decorations and lights for my house. Hopefully after today's trip to the mall (yikes- we are braving all the crazies out there) I will feel a little more satisfied with my progress on that long list.

baby is doing great. he kicks me all day and i love the reassurance that he's happy and feeling fine. i'll be 26 weeks on monday.

i've been thinking about staying at home when i have the baby versus working. I'd really appreciate all of your input on this because it's nice to have different points of view on this. I think i've mostly made my decision but I'd still like to hear what you think.

hi.

I made some headbands for my boss to give her daughter for her bday. They turned out great!

Fall decor...

This was my belly at 17 weeks

Sadie's Halloween costume :)


I got a promotion at work.
I'm currently 22 1/2 weeks pregnant.

and that's the end for now.

This week!

So I'm at least getting to a weekly post. eh? eh?

Haven't done much with my door yet. I took off the handles which was quite a feat actually because whoever painted this stupid door painted it with like 5 layers of paint over the handles and all of the screws. So we had to basically chip through the paint just to find the screws and then peel things off. And somewhere a saw was involved courtesy of El Guapo.

I want to finish it. I do... but now that I have to sand it all down and repaint it, I am dragging my feet a little.

I busted out my fall decor! Sooo exciting. I love fall and winter. I am already saving for Christmas!!!! Which really, isn't far away so don't give me that "really?" look. Think about it, all of the great deals are on Black Friday, which is a whole month before christmas so really, I'm only two months away. And I'm determined to save up my money this year so I can spend more on lights!

Last year we only bought TWO strings of lights which brought us to a total of a whopping five strings altogether. UNacceptable. I'd rather spend more on decorations and lights than on presents. {SERIOUSLY}. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!

Anyways, fall has made an appearance at my house. I think I'll take some pictures but really, it's pretty low key right now because I wanted to gradually build it all up to Thanksgiving where it will {hopefully} be cooler out and I can wear my UGGS!

UGGs, yet another thing that I am obsessed with.

Ask anyone, I would (and most of the time do) wear my UGGs 24/7 365. So comfy and warm and perfect and $20 bucks at last chance since my feet are kids sized! Trust me, if you got a deal like that, you'd wear them all the time too.

Anyways...that's it for now :)

I know

Ok ok I know. Jennie told me that I've had my sick month and I need to blog again. And it's true. I do. So I am.

Baby update:

Soooo I am officially 12 weeks and 5 days today. Just squeezing into that second trimester which will hopefully bring less nausea and more energy! I've already had my first ultrasound at 8 weeks and everything is looking swell:

Baby looks kinda blob-y but if you look closely, the head is on the right, arms are straight up and legs are out to the left. {And my suspicions were that perhaps there were two little babies in there- in which I was totally wrong of course :) That's ok though. I'd rather take it one at a time for the first few little ones.}

I had another doctor's appointment yesterday and was able to hear the heartbeat on the doppler- which I never realized would be such a relief! I was holding my breath, just waiting and hoping that everything was fine and the second I heard it, it was amazing.

Everything is going great, however they did notice that my thyroid levels are low on my bloodwork. Meaning that me being excessively tired, wanting to sit and do nothing all weekend, and being tired after getting 9+ hours of sleep every night isn't just from being pregnant and working full time!!

So ha! HA to that. Because I've felt really bad for not blogging due to my lack of projects and laziness. But now you can't blame me. HA!

Anyways, here I am back in action. I was able to clean my house today yayyy. And now I'm finally going to do something about that door that has been sitting! I will post about it later. Maybe tomorrow.

:) That's the update for now. Miss you all! Come say hi.

sick

Don't want to be a {Debbie Downer} but I have been sooooo sick.

sick

Throwing up at home.
Throwing up at work.
Throwing up in my mouth while driving. (bet you wanted to know that)

Thankfully, I went to my new OB today and got a prescription for some Zofran. Plus she told me to take b6 3 times a day so we will see how that goes.

I'm 6 weeks and 4 days along :) I have a few (good) suspicions but we will just have to wait and see. I am lucky and get to have an ultrasound done next week. Yay. At least it will all be worth it :)
