Progression Photos

6th Month Pic

Thought I would share my 6th month pic and I added the 5th month pic for comparison. I think my belly has finally rounded out :-) Baby and I are doing fine as far as I know. 28 weeks down on Friday. 86 days remaining. 12 weeks left. Geez, can you feel my nervousness :-) LOL

Baby Nursery Red/Lime/ Aqua

This is the color scheme I plan to use in the nursery. I wanted something clean, fresh, and feminine. The pic should get bigger if you click on it.

The bedding I wanted was $450 (don't ask and yes it is outrageous), so I bought just the sheets and the changing pad cover. The bed skirt is from a different company (decided on no bumper or quilt).

The two wall decals with the trees and tree branches will be white, but the birds will be aqua, red or lime.

The three pieces of art work (the bird cage and the two quotes) will stay the same.

The red/blue knob will go on the dressers. They will replace the knobs on the maple furniture that is pictured.

The "Sophie" will have the baby's name and will remain blue with either red or lime birds.

5 Month Picture

Not sure there is any hiding it now, but I still haven't gotten any comments from strangers. We are both doing great. Scary to think only four months left to go b/f she is here. Very excited :-)

Recent Layouts

I joined this challenge on the scrapbooking message board I belong to. They post three challenges each week using different themes and prompts. They have really been good ideas for layouts and I have gotten a lot done. I really should stop being lazy and get out my scanner, but it hasn't happened yet, so I apologize for the pics of the layouts.

New Layouts

Here are a few layouts I have completed the last few months. You can click the pic to read the journaling or look at something up close. Sorry about the layout with the extra shiny birds :-)

3rd and 4th month pics

Okay, so yeah I am still alive and yes I am behind on posting pics. Here you go mom :-) The babe is fine, I am for the most part fine and we find out the gender on October 6th. Super excited. We both think it is a girl. Not sure if it is baby or bloat just yet. I got fooled before with 2 week mega bloat. And I have only gained 1 lb at 18 weeks, so the baby is very good at redistributing my pre-motherly stores of love :-)

My Friend Jen :-)

Here is a pic of me with one of my closest (sp?) friends. She came to visit about a month ago and it was great to see her. I am not one to keep a lot of friends from the past, but we have been friends since 2001/2002, which is a good amount of time in my book. She is quirky and I love her :-) I can't wait to scrap this pic. Side note: If you can't tell, I am feeling a whole lot better today. No preggo queasiness. If this continues tomorrow, I will upload the 3-4 layouts I have done recently. This is in honor of my sister, who said why don't you post your layouts, to which I replied I am lazy and don't feel like getting out the scanner :-)

2nd Month Preggo Pic

I am loading this with a bit of hesitation. I swear to you I have not gained any weight since I found out I was preggo, but the bloat in month two is unbearable and I look like I am 5 months :-( This has been a hard month. I am queasy every day and I sleep for hours at a time even if I get a full nights sleep. I am looking forward to the second trimester. They say you start to feel human again :-) Here you go mom. She calls and says well I know you are almost 4 months, so where is the two month pic :-) Tomorrow I will be 11 weeks along.

1 Month Preggo Photo

Here is my one month pic. I am going to take a pic at the end of each month wearing the same thing, so at the end I will have a nice little progression of my belly growth :-) I am excited can you tell :-) :-) :-) I am six weeks so far and to think I have like 34 more to go. This pregnancy thing takes way to long....Today I had my first experence with morning sickness; needless to say I wish I could pass on this badge of courage.

Vacation Album Pics

These are what the pages look like that I am putting into a mini album. Each page is 8x8 printed on photo paper and I am going to mount it on top of pp and adhere it into a chipboard album. I did four other sheets, but I forgot to save them, so I could post them here. I am really excited about the project. Can't wait until I get the items I ordered from 2 Peas to decorate the album. I am using the new travel line by Little Yellow Bicycle. Hopefully, you can read the journaling. If not, try and click on the pic to make it bigger.

I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got our baby back last week. I am so HAPPY. But now I am in a quandry as to how to proceed with my 365 project. I have most of the pics I missed and I am sure I can fill in, but I am not sure I want to back track and post them all on my blog :-( Any suggestions ???

Sidenote: I do have some awesome vacation photos. It was an awesome trip.

Just Checking In

Hello. I am still alive, but my computer is not, so I haven't been able to post pics (although I have still been taking them). Hopefully, Rob will figure out something this week.

Day 89 Pic of the Day (Sexitar)

So the ladies over at Willow Traders have been adding new avatars. Mine has always been the pic you see on my blog to the right. I thought I would give something new a shot. So this is my new avatar over there, which Rob calls my "sexitar." He thinks the off the shoulder is a bit sassy. I do too, which is why I picked it :-) LOLOLOLOL
You can create your own here: Mangatar Have FUN !!!!

Day 88 Pic of the Day (Spring????? Part 2)

Woke up to snow this morning. Yep you heard correctly....SNOW. Will post pic later.

Day 87 Pic of the Day (Spring????)

Umm, it has been 70-80 degrees the last couple of weeks and then today it is 45 degrees. Where is spring???? My grass is a little greener, but my tree still has no leaves. I don't believe in having heat on a couple days before April :-(

Day 86 Pic of the Day (Enjoy the Process)

Today is a rather cool day for me. Today is the day the doctor told me that I should be fine to start family planning. This is very exciting to me. After being married for almost 6 years, approaching 30 and finally deciding that maybe I could raise a good kid in this world, we are going to finally take the plunge. She suggested I wait a month to get my body back on its natural cycle and then told me to have fun. I asked about an ovulation calendar and she told me she didn't believe in using those at the start. She said having a baby was a magical process and that my hubby and I should focus on connecting with each other and enjoying the process :-) She told me to simply have fun and have fun often :-) Rob got a kick out of that. She said if I wasn't pregnant in 6-12 months, that I could begin to look into counting days and all the extra stuff, but not to worry about it now. So I won't worry and I will just enjoy the process and continue my daily prayers to God for a healthy, happy, and smart baby.

Day 85 Pic of the Day (Mail Goodies #2)

I have been drooling over these kits for months. But the price has been preventing me from taking the plunge. Like $41 a month for each kit. Well someone on Willow Traders (can you see how much I love this place) was selling both kits for about the price of one. So I couldn't resist any longer. These are packed kits, the colors are great and I love the embellishments. My Creative Scrapbook makes great kits. I couldn't wait to play with these items. They look better in person than the pics show them. Now I can't decide if I should get a subscription to them or to Scarlet Lime (the club I won three free kits from earlier). They are both nicely packed with cool embellishments. Decisions, decisions, decisions because I won't buy both. Right?????
