my week in pictures

July 27, 2012 By

yes, i’m alive. i can’t believe it’s been three weeks since i’ve posted. since my last post- we’ve moved into our new house and found out we’re having a baby boy!!

from left to right, top to bottom

  • an empty living room at our old house. i thought i’d be sad leaving our first house, but i was so excited to get into our new house that it didn’t matter.
  • i randomly decided to get a love sac. it’s so comfortable, but is a bit of an eye sore in our living room.
  • bailey and b have adjusted well to the new diggs. bailey barks all of the time with the increase of dogs in the neighborhood, but we are working on it.
  • i’ve loved decorating our new mantle. i wasn’t planning on it- but it turned out to be bright and multi-colored- big surprise!
  • the start of my craft room..
  • monday i was able to start my work day at starbucks for a meeting, so relaxing!
  • craft room completed! dusting has been a bit of a challenge.
  • my little baby bailey, on our new bedroom chair.
  • baby bag and new quilt fabric.
  • and lastly, check out my little guy’s long legs- having parents that are 6’5” and 6’3” is evident in this picture. :-)

17 week update and a review

July 3, 2012 By

yesterday i reached the 17 week mark. things continue to go okay.. baby is healthy and i’ve started to feel him move (eeekk!), however my all day morning sickness has also included headaches and not being able to sleep. i know it’ll all be worth it in the end, but the days go by a lot slower when i’m not feeling well. thank you for your patience and understanding with my bare little blog lately.

i’ve gained a little bit of weight, but still am able to pull off most of my regular clothes that involve elastic. i gave in and bought a few things from gap online and the t-shirt above has been worn 6 times in the last 7 days (we have a quick turnaround for laundry here). i’m blown away with how expensive maternity clothes are, but have been able to catch some 25-40% off sales on gap’s website.

i received this beautiful cowl in the mail from jackie of world of jackie designs. it’s such high quality and feels little a little mini blanket around my neck. i can’t wait to wear it on cool summer evenings and basically all of fall. check out jackie’s facebook page here and take a look at all of her beautiful creations!!
