Looking forward to: Getting things ready for Luca!..and my next appointment! Soon it will be weekly!!!
It’s hard to believe that in less 6 Weeks little baby Gilbert will be here. I’m a little nervous of course—but mostly excited—and based on all of the overwhelming love and support I felt from my friends and family at the shower, this is going to be one very adored baby!
The shower was a gorgeous and very well planned out, Rock star theme hosted by my sisters and close friend! We didn’t want to torture people with the typical shower games, so they came up with some pretty amazing alternatives…
1.       Candy station: Sixlets, Rock candy, laffy taffy, chocolate and so much more!!! The kids LOVED the station! It did not disappoint!

2.       Nursery Letters: We purchased the alphabet and had all the guest of the shower paint the letters! All of the letters when officially completed will go about his crib! Here are some of the finished products!

For our little Guy!
 
My neice Olivia!

Britt, that letter doesn't surprise me being Orange ;)

3.       Scratch, match and WIN!: We made our own lottery tickets!!! Its really easy to do! Create your ticket any way you want! Place a piece of packing take over the area that says ‘winner’ or ‘loser’. Mix 1 part dawn dish soap to 2 parts silver metallic paint. Cover area over tape with mix solution. Wait about 15 minutes to completely dry. ENJOY. Here is a pic of our finished product!!!

Supplies needed!
1 part dish soap to 2 parts metalic paint!


Finished product! What a hit!!!

4.       First and Last to RSVP: Easy as it sounds! Each guest that was 1st and last to respond won a gift.
I couldn’t be any more appreciative of EVERYTHING that was done for this shower!

DIY Newborn Shadow Box

Image
  Look what I made! It's a shadowbox filled with Luca's hospital stuff including the outfit he wore home, his first hat, the hospital bracelet, and his birth announcement, ambilical cord { I sealed the cord in plastic and put it in the diaper. Not everyone would want to see it, but I wanted to keep it somehow without losing it.  I love how it turned out! I totally jacked this idea from Pinterest {of course}. But I had to add my own twist to this project, and now I think my box is far superior to the ones I saw online {I might be a tad bias though}. SO you wanna know how I did it? Supplies: - Shadow Box - All your baby Items {i.e. outfilt, diapers, bith announcements, scrapbook supplies, scissors, baby bracelets, hats} - Glue gun - 1 yard of fabric {any color that suits your needs} - scrapbooking embelishments First let me just say that this project was super easy. And cheap, too! I waited till I saw a sale at our local craft store {Pat Cat

I was 30 years old when my boyfriend of 7 years, Kyle, and I found out we were expecting a baby! We were really excited to have a little person that will have a little bit of both of us. I hadn't been experiencing morning sickness,but smells were REALLY bothering me. I wasn't the type to have a "normal" period so we didn't know something was up. After a couple weeks of experiencing the smell sickness I figured, lets try a test...POSITIVE!!! It was a very nerve racking day for us! I had a very normal pregnancy with the occasional aches and pains here and there. Once I reached 39 weeks along, I was absolutely ready to have this little guy. I mean I hadn't gotten huge but very uncomfortable!! I had gained over 30 pounds overall!!  Not many cravings... just the routine need to wake up at 2, 3, and 4 am to use the bathroom. I didn't have many stretch marks, well what weren't there already. The whole time I had been working. Wednesday August 8th came ar

5 Years ago this week...

Today, most of you know, Kyle and I are going to be parents! Im 33 weeks today and we are more ready than the last time. I firmly believe that at that time we were not ready. We are older, more stable in our positions at work, just all around grown up. This is our time and we couldn't be HAPPIER :) Here is our story... {This was written when Facebook didn't exist and Myspace was all the craze. Its past tense, but makes sence} Kyle and I went on vacation on June 29 th through July 7th, 2007. We went on vacation so I could meet my father, Ken. That went ok but… We weren't even there for 3 hours and all hell broke loose.  We started off driving for 20 hours straight. WE WERE TIRED!  We got there and immediately wanted to do everything right then and there. Kyle REALLY wanted to ride the four wheelers so he did. We went to the river, it was up because Oklahoma was getting pounded with rain. Then we went back to the house for about a half hour when everyone wanted to go f
