Finished painting!

This has been a busy couple of weeks! Ansley's room is officially painted! Although, its not quite done its looking pretty good! Here are a couple of pics of the room! Thank you again honey it looks great! This idea came from HGTV's rate my space (in the nursery section)! My aunt showed me this site and they have tons of ideas to look at!

There will be a brown stencil that goes between the pink and white!

It looks brighter than it really is!

Yesterday, we had our sixth month doctor's appointment. It didn't go as well as the other's have, but still doing good and Ansley is growing like crazy. I had gained 2lbs this month and they found protein in my urine! So, I have to go back next week and pee in a cup again to see if I still have protein or if it was just a fluke. She told me that she was concerned about possibly having pre-eclampsia (pregnancy induced hypertension). My blood pressure has been normal and I have no other signs of pre-eclampsia, but protein in the urine is a early sign. I have no swelling and I haven't been gaining weight like crazy (which is another symptom of pre-eclampsia). So, I'm not getting stressed out because I'm sure everything is fine! I go back on Wednesday and I'll keep you updated! Worse case scenario is that they put me on bed rest or light duty! Not happening at least I hope not!


This weekend Zach and I are going to Wichita to get Ansley's dresser and mattress! Hopefully, Sunday we will get them put together and I can start getting her clothes organized.


This weekend is the Cowley County fair. Zach wants to go to the demolition derby on Saturday night and I want an onion blossom, carmel apple, corn on the cob and a funnel cake!! :) Not sure that I will be able to eat all that, but I'd sure like to try:) I'll post more this weekend of Zach putting up Ansley's crib!!

24 weeks!

Have a good weekend!

Every little princess needs these!!

Ever since we found out that we were having a girl, I've been on the hunt for all things girly! I haven't found that one outfit that I absolutely love yet, but I know I will! I was looking at Etsy today and I found the cutest little hat and headband! I'm definitely ordering these! I'm going with the newborn sizes and they will be perfect for her newborn pictures! Have you ever been on etsy before? I love these website thanks to my cousin Bethany! Everything on there is homemade and I love it!

Zach finished painting Ansley's room today! I'm at work right now, but can't wait to see it tonight! I'll try to post pictures later this week!

Awww I can't wait til she arrives! If your interested these came from Pretty Baby Bowtique on etsy.com!!

Painting!

Zach is busy in Ansley's room painting away as I type. We got the paint and supplies yesterday and he's off to a good start. My aunt Brenda came over on Thursday and we matched paint and she helped decide what colors and where we were going to paint. Thank you for your help!! I'm not going to post pictures of before the room was painted because it is embarrassing! The people that owned this house before we did had the entire house painted an awful mint green! I not joking every inch of this house was mint green!! Gross!!! So, hopefully next week I'll have a finished pink and white room to show you, but until then sorry! :)

Yesterday after Brandy got home from work we made a quick trip to Wichita. Zach took the night off work, so Him, Fredo and Kaiden took my car and went to the camper place and to eat at hooters while we went shopping. Brandy, Mya and I went to Kohl's, Hobby lobby, baby gap and of course the mall! It was a fun night! Ansley and Mya both got a few clothes and I finally purchased my first maternity shirts. I bought 2 shirts one from Old Navy for $5.99 and the other from Motherhood Maternity for $12. It's hard trying to find cute maternity without spending a fortune! I can't see spending lots of money for something I can only wear for a few months!

Have a good weekend! I'm going to get back to my Zucchini cake that's in the over and start making some chocolate chip cookies for my husband! He loves chocolate chip cookies! My parents planted a garden this year and we have been getting cucumbers and zucchini from them. Good stuff!! :)

p.s. thanks for all your help with the cherry or white furniture, but I think were going to stick with the cherry!

help!!!

Ok, we are in need of your help! I blogged a while back about the crib that i bought at target on sale. Its a cherry crib and i love it, but with the bedding that we have, should i take it back and go with white furniture???? Help please!!! Cherry or White?????

Caution long post

Wow! it has been forever since I've blogged! I know that I said I would blog last week, but with work and not getting home til 8:30 or after I was exhausted. So, much has been going on and I'll try to catch everyone up on what we have been doing.


This weekend Zach spent the weekend in Oklahoma, pig hunting. He went with several other guys and had a good time. He shot a pig the first night he was there, but didn't see anything after that. He made it home yesterday evening and was exhausted. He had a great time and would love to go back. My weekend on the other hand was full of work, work and more work! I did get some exciting news on Saturday though, the baby bedding came in (to zach's parents house)! Teresa (Zach's mom) and I ordered pizza and looked at the bedding. Teresa, Zach's grandma (Carolyn) and his 2 aunts (davalyn and Jolene) bought the bedding for us for a shower gift. I have it home with me now to match paint with, but it will soon go back to her house til the baby shower :( She told me that I had to be surprised when I get it and trust me I will, I love it!!!!

The Bedding!! I love it! It's a 9 piece set off of ebay!!

Our precious little angle has been named. We knew all along that if we were having a girl her name would be Ansley!! I love this name and so does Zach. However, she does not have a middle name yet! We have two in mind: mine and his, but we can't seem to agree.

Let me just say this little angel inside me is a moving machine. Especially, when I'm at work. She kicks several times throughout the day and is sitting right on my bladder:) I think I pee every hour! Zach felt her move for the first time a couple of weeks ago while we were laying in bed. Aww memories and can't wait til she arrives. :)


Ansley is loved by so many and she hasn't even arrived yet. She is getting spoiled rotten already. We have such great family and friends! She has been given so many gifts already and I can't wait til she can see how loved she truly is. Thanks to all of our friends and family for the wonderful gifts.


On a random note, Ansley will have lots of friends to play with! My cousin Kristi is pregnant and is expecting in January! Also, my great friend Jamie is having another one as well. She is due in February. Congrats to both of you and our kids will have a blast growing up together! Now if only Brandy would hurry up and get pregnant again we would all have little ones just a few months apart:)


My mom and Zach's mom have been busy hitting up garage sales! Ansley has gotten so many clothes the past few weeks! I've been busy doing her laundry all afternoon. I believe from garage sales, family and friends she probably has over 40 outfits!

All the clothes I washed today! These are all from garage sales, family and friends! This isn't even pics of the new clothes she has gotten! Spoiled!!

This morning Zach and I cleaned the spare bedroom (Ansley's room) and are getting ready to paint! We haven't quiet agreed on paint colors, but hopefully in the next few weeks we will have the babies room painted!! I'm thinking pink and brown, but Zach thinks pink and white! I'll let you know what we decide, but I'll probably talk with my aunt Brenda (She's the expert) on what colors to use :)

My belly last weekend at 21weeks

The outfit "Aunt B" got Ansley when we found out she was a girl!

Gift basket from my aunt Brenda and cousin Kristi! Love the purple gap outfit!!

Have a great week!

Where does time go?

It seems like its been forever since i last blogged. I apologize and have lots of pictures to share this week. Unfortunately, i just got home from work (late again) and I am exhausted. Stay tuned I'll post this week I promise!

Have a great week
