busy week!!

well we got 3 walls in the nursery done.. haven't started on the other one yet. Hopefully I'll have it done in the next month or so. Just depends on how much energy I have on my days off. here's some photos of the wall in our living room and the 3 walls in the nursery that are done

Living Room Wall

Still haven't hung any pictures yet.. hopefully I'll get around to it :)

Nursery!

The first 2 pics make it look super bright but it really isn't too bright when you see it in person. The last wall needs to be painted white and then taped off for the cool squares I'm gonna do on it. and I swear the living room and nursery aren't the same color... very different actually.. it just kind of looks that way in the pics. Weird lighting I guess.

This past weekend we also celebrated easter. We didn't really do a whole lot. I went to my moms for dinner on Sunday. And we colored some eggs with our friends on friday night. It was kind of funny to see Mac in an apron too. I look gross in the  pics but he looks cute so I'll post em anyway :)

They both look super excited about it lol

our awesome eggs!! 

I look super gross, but this is us with our eggs. At least my honey looks cute :)

Lots of changes happening with us this week. Nothing I will go into at the moment. For now we are just trying to enjoy life and spend as much time together as we can before this baby gets here. We might have a name picked, but I hate to say that because we still have 4 more months to go and we have a tendency to change our minds alot. So I think we will just sit with it for a little while and make sure we still like it later. Who knows, maybe it won't fit her when she gets here and we'll change it last minute. 

I'm super excited to get the nursery done. We should be ordering the crib soon which makes it feel even more real. It's hard to picture how different our lives are this summer compared to last year. Things can definitely change overnight and that's how it feels right now. 

we are so blessed to have such supportive family and friends in our lives. I'm so proud of my hubby for all of the great things he has accomplished this far in his life. He works so hard and I'm so glad I get to spend everyday with him. we are very blessed.

I'll try and post some more house pictures soon, if I ever get around to cleaning it all up so I can take the pictures :)

til next time.....

22 weeks/ Nursery

Not much to post about right now. This weekend was really productive for us though. We decided that since Mac had 5 days off that we would try and get going on a couple of our projects. Mostly just painting, but still... I feel like I got alot done. On Thursday we went to the good ol' Home Depot and picked up the paint we'd already picked out for the accent wall in our living room and we also picked out the colors we wanted for the nursery. The accent wall in the living room got taped and finished Friday night. It's super bright but I love it so that's all that matters. I decided that since my kitchen is Red that we would make the living room kind of an aqua blue color and decorate with red and aqua stuff. I'm still trying to figure out what to hang on the wall above the tv. So maybe once I decide on that and get my house cleaned up, I will post a picture of it finished. Here's some of the work-in-progress pics..hubby is the only one in the pics but I promise I helped :)

That's how it turned out all finished.. we usually have our tv stand with 2 bookshelves on either side in front of the wall.. so once I get the pictures hung I will take another one.

I also wanted to get started on the nursery this weekend too. so in order to do so, I had a few more things to sort through and I attempted to get our office a little more organized so it didn't feel so cramped in there. I got it about half decorated.. hopefully I can get the rest finished in the next couple weeks. The nursery finally got emptied of all the other non-baby stuff and I got it all taped and ready for Mac to paint tomorrow- yay!! I took some pics so I could have some before and after photos

don't worry.. we aren't painting an X on the wall... I just put that so Mac would remember not to paint that one, I will be painting that one in a pattern later. Which will most likely take FOREVER to do.. so the completed nursery is still a while away.

Not much else going on for us right now.. We have our big Target ultrasound tomorrow which I am both excited and nervous for. I'm excited cuz you get the cool pictures and get to see things in more detail. I'm nervous that 1) it will be a boy again.. which would be bad since my mom bought all that stuff.. and 2) because they are checking for abnormalities at this one.. so lets hope they don't find any :)

here's a belly shot for your enjoyment lol

21 weeks 5 days

finally starting to show a bit. Mac keeps callin me prego.. or leggo my prego.. or comments on my protruding belly. he's kinda funny about it. I'm feeling alot bigger than I look though.. 

we are officially counting DOWN now instead of UP... 18 more weeks to go :)

til next time..
