22 Weeks

Time flys when you're having fun!!  From the day I found out I was pregnant in December I thought I was never gonna start showing.  WOAH!!  It happened overnight!  I woke up one day and BAM I was big as a whale!!  haha not really but I sure feel like it some days.  Before, I didn't really care about dressing up and looking cute.  Most days I wore my Century 21 t-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes and carried on.  Now, I am in the mood to look cute at all times (not that I didn't in my t-shirts).  Maybe its because of this cute new wardrobe I got.  IDK, but everyday I wake up and I am so excited to get dressed because I'm gonna look so cute!!  OMG I just figured it out...everyone keeps telling me how cute I am...BIG MISTAKE...don't you people know it makes my head HUGE!! 

I would have posted last week about my doctors appointment but nothing happened.  My post would have been like 2 sentences.  I went, I peed (how do you spell pee'ed??), I blood pressured, I visited the doc for point five seconds, and left.  (See 2 sentences)

On Saturday my mom and I went garage saling.  We had a blast.  Ok maybe I did.  Don't think she enjoyed it as much as me.  I got 11 long necklaces for $1.00 a piece!!!  Ok these bad boys are like $10 at some places.  I GOT A DEAL!! 

I also got a boppy.  It's this really sweet pillow to hold the baby up while breast feeding or if you are lazy like me and need some arm assistance.  See boppy below.  This is the exact cover thats on mine.  Anyways, these things are outrageously expensive.  The pillow is $30 and then you have to have a cute little cover which ranges from $10 - $50.  Well I got my little beauty (cover and all) for $15!!!

Also, on Saturday we got our crib!!!!!  I was soooo excited!!  I got it at Target ON SALE!!  I have been looking and looking all over the place for the perfect one and found the one I wanted right here in my own city.  I couldn't wait for Matt to get home so he could put it together.

Let the work begin!!

Corkey is helping daddy out

Then he gets tired and needs to rest.  Can you see he has his head laying on the crib?

Now both animals are helping

Here is the final product!!

 Now we just gotta get some paint on the walls and some bedding on the bed.  Almost done with all the big stuff.  Can't wait for the little princess to get here!!

Forgot the baby bump picture!!

Shelby's Princess Wonderland

I researched what the name "Shelby" means and it makes no sense to me at all!!!

babynamesworld.com
Shelby - A place where willows grow; sheltered


babynames.com
Shelby - From The Town In The Hollow
 
thinkbabynames.com
Shelby - It is of Old Norse origin, and its meaning is "willow; from the ledge estate".
 
This isn't very princess like.  What the heck is a willow?  I don't get it.  I WILL NOT CHANGE THE NAME THOUGH!!  Who really pays attention to that kind of stuff anyways?
 
Now for the princess wonderland...
 
Here is how I want Shelby's room to look.
 

I found this website that told me the exact paint colors that were used.  They are from Home Depot.  The lighter color is Biloxi and the darker color is Gobi Desert.  (basically, cream and tan)  We have put the samples up on the wall and I ab-so-lute-ly love it!!  I can't wait to get it all painted.  Which will hopefully be next week.  I'm going to trust my husband to paint a tree similar to the one in the picture.  Am I making a mistake? 


I found the bedding that I like at Babies R Us for cheap cheap cheap.  But I'm not sure if I want to buy it or make some myself.  See bedding here. 

This is the chair I like.  It is rather expensive so I don't know what my chances of getting it are.  I can't believe the prices on these stupid things.  If anyone has one for sale let me know!!  I prefer chocolate brown or maybe even a light green.

Hobby Lobby has these letters that are massive and I think they will look gorgeous above her bed. 

Of course she will have a chandelier!!  I found one at Home Depot that I like but I'm gonna keep on looking.  I know I will find the PERFECT one.  I want one more whimsical.  Maybe with leaves on it not so many crystals.  And in antique white instead of WHITE.   

If anyone sees a good deal on a white bird cage I'm in the market for one.  I want a metal one thats not to big.  Maybe can fit on a shelf.

Anyways, here is my little angels room.  Feel free to give me any ideas!!  I love to hear what other people have to offer!!

Time for Change

I will be going to Florida in 65 days (who's counting).  I thought my blog needed a little summer update.  I am having trouble finding swimsuits for my big belly.  What do you think about this one?

Apparently, this is about as cute as I'm gonna find without spending bookoos of money.  I will only be wearing it for one summer so I don't see the need in spending $75 on a swimsuit that hopefully I won't be wearing again. 

Matt's cousin, Jill, gave me all of her maternity clothes to borrow.  I swear I have AT LEAST 10 pairs of jeans to wear now.  That doesn't include the dress pants, shorts, kahki's, and sweat pants.  I am so so so thankful for her!!  There are quite a few shirts to wear to.  I had to clean out my closet just to fit in this new stuff.  I didn't even have 10 pair of jeans to wear before I was pregnant.  So I'm really gonna be spoiled.
