Etsy love

Some dear friends of mine were recently married and I have been searching for the perfect gift for them. After much searching, I decided on this print...

...only in red. I know the red will match their living room and I think they will love it. Now just to wait for it's arrival and track down the perfect frame...

( print purchased from THIS Etsy shop )

Retro Comfy

Over the weekend we went to some yard sales for the first time in a couple months. I've been wanting a good chair for our room that can be moved to the nursery when the babe is. This one seemed pretty perfect when we came across it.

I'm still feeling good about it. It just happens to be my favorite color, and not only does it rock, it spins, too! $20 well spent...

Four weeks

Baby J is 4 whole weeks old today! I cannot believe how quickly time has gone! This has definitely been the fastest month of my life!

Just when I think I cannot love this child more, I do. Every time I look at him I love him more.

I know every momma has the perfect baby... But He's so smart! He's already rolled over, he smiles, he's so alert. I love every second. And trust me, many-a-second have been spent just staring at him. And he's so good! He's been sleeping through the night and he really never cries unless he needs something. Gosh, I just love him...

Nesting?

Through most of my pregnancy I wasn't feeling up to nesting... I think I'm making up for it now. Today I completely cleaned the bedroom AND cleaned out the closet. Quite a large task. Especially when working during naps. Next on the agenda- the rest of the loft. I need to have a big yard sale soon... Who wants oodles of craft/sewing materials??

(The project on the sewing machine - decorations that were sent to Texas for a little princess' first birthday party.)

One week...

My beautiful baby boy is one week old today. I still can't believe he's mine. I must have done something right because he is absolutely perfect.

Today, I love my job... Being a mommy and working in a photo studio=good combination!

Baby J

He's here. After 23 hours and 58 minutes of labor. 6 lbs 12 oz of perfection...

Food cravings: chick-fil-a, milkshakes and popsicles.

Labor Signs: We might be meeting sooner than planned if my blood pressure doesn't get under control! I've been having more contractions, too.
Belly Button in or out? It's pretty weird looking.
