31.5 weeks and counting

Well I have almost made it to 32 weeks...I'm hoping for only another 6 weeks to go! It would be nice for our daughter to make her arrival 2 weeks early...very acceptable in the medical world she would even be considered full term at that point :)

Last weekend we went on a trip to Ocean shores with some great friends. Had a blast minus the traffic to and from. Some words to describe our trip are: Icecream, mopeds, sand, fire, hotdogs, smores, games, laughter, silliness, love, and Christ.
We were able to be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday which was fun and here are some pictures from the trip :)






Another fun event that we had this last week was our two year anniversary! Woohoo :) We made it another year and this one has been amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better husband, and father for my child. I am so excited to see their relationship blossom. We didn't do too much to celebrate just a nice dinner at Anthony's and of course a picture or two :)



The last exciting thing we have done this week was working on the Nursery. We got the crib set up, the walls painted, our chair put together, the rug cleaned and down and its starting to look like a nursery. Here are a few pictures.




I will have to post another belly picture soon...Today is not a good day for a picture because I look like a wreck. I have had awful indigestion, which has lead to vomiting the last two days so I stayed home from work today...so far I've been on a liquid diet because I'm afraid to eat anything, so frustrating. But I promise to update the bump picture soon since Its been a while and I have most definitely grown!

Ruffles!!

Well since we are having a girl why not enjoy the femininity that comes with that right?? So I'm very excited to introduce ruffles into the decor of the nursery.
Here are some great curtains from Urban outfitters:

These are great but probably out of my price range since they are 78$ a piece. Maybe they will go on sale between now and September :)

Next is some ruffles from Target. This is a shower curtain but could easily be used as a curtain in the nursery:

At 29$ a piece these are much more reasonable and possibility for the room. I plan on putting a cream shag rug up there so I'm not sure how the white would do, but I'm sure I could make it work :)

Next is a ruffled pillow that would look great on the glider to tie in the curtains: This I might be able to possibly make if I tried hard enough...Or maybe I could convince my mom (or maybe not) ;)


This is a great ruffled bedskirt that I have been keeping my eye on from restoration hardware; which comes only in grey but I could definitely pull in that color:



Lastly you can't have ruffles and a girl without....

And there you have it femininity at its best...through ruffles :)

Week 28

So I spent most of my day today cleaning...sleeping...cleaning...I have a huge load to take to the Good Will that my dad is going to swing buy and pick up for me since its all on my front porch waiting to go and Steve is working a 48 hour shift. Its great that he can get overtime but stinks to be alone that long (minus the dogs and kicking in my belly.) I am 28 weeks and five days today and here is a picture at 28 weeks and 2 days...


I got a recipe from a fellow bumpy today and printed it out. We are going to a pool party for the 4th and hopefully it will be a fun one in this dreary Washington state. But these Icecream cupcakes look great, so I think I'll try to make them for the party I think the kids will LOVE them :)


And Last but not least I tried making Sushi this week. Turned out pretty good for my first time. There was Salmon, avocado, cucumber, and cream cheese. We went to the Taste of Tacoma last week and saw someone selling a Sushi roller. Me being the cheap girl that I am knew my mom had one and thought that it would probably be an one or two time adventure so I borrowed hers :) Here is my outcome...



Love you all ~ Becky
