Well were at 22 weeks and all is going good! Two more weeks and we can rest easy knowing the doctors will do all they can to save our little girl in the event she decides she doesnt want to hang around and kick mommy all day in my belly! Of course i hope and pray she stays put for a while longer :)

Matt and I have got so much done on her room! I feel so accomplished to have so much more done. Few more things i need to do is get the name for the back of the crib, find a shelf i like and order the rocker. After that were pretty much done with everything we wanted to get done before she comes, but im sure things will come up that i forgot!!

Nursery Update w/ last weeks belly picture :)

Hey guys! I know its been a while i have just been really busy! OH and my sister had surgery friday on her sinus's all went well and she is at home resting :)

Well here are the pictures. Hopefully you can see the paint color in the pictures. Its a very soft purple. I wanted a calming room and so far it is all coming together nicely.

And just for grins here is a belly shot i took last week (4 months pregnant)

Art Work

I decided to try and make my own art work for Addy's room. All of this cost me a whole $15 dollars. The canvases were ones that i bought at kohls with some trees on them that were clearance for $2. :)

The color is not that great in the pictures but they match the bedding almost perfectly!!

This is made out of scrapbook paper that i plan to frame in a white frame. I hope to find one that is kinda rough and vintage like. Well see what i find :)

awww...

Look at this cute outfit Matt picked out for Addy. He is going to be such a good dad to this little girl! She is going to have him wrapped so tight around her finger :)

4 months already!!

Wow the time really seems to feel like its flying. Im starting to show more and more everyday!

I have started to purchase a few outfits for Addy when i find them on sale or are just to darn cute to pass up! We also bought the bedding set below because i just love it too much! The crib and dresser are also already put together but we dont have a mattress yet so i cant put the bedding in it to see it all together just yet. Maybe in a month or so.

Im really trying to buy a few things when i can so all of the expenses dont hit us the last two months. :)

Well that is about it. I will try and take a belly picture in the next few weeks so you can see my growing belly! Some clothes make me look bigger than others though.
