Wall Art

I just found the cutest wall art! I had wanted to do some sort of canvas wall art in the nursery instead of wooden letters, but I had pretty much decided the letters would be the easiest and least expensive. I looked on http://www.etsy.com/ and found the perfect artwork. I had heard about etsy from my friend Tracie who has ordered several things for her little girl.

The canvas artwork I found matches the nursery perfectly, was very reasonable, and I will still have his name on the wall! Yea! It is all coming together.

Couples Baby Shower and 30 weeks

What a great weekend! Friday was pretty low key - dinner with friends and a movie at home. Saturday was our couples brunch hosted by 5 of our close couple friends. It felt like forever since we had gotten so many of our friends together. And we probably all won't be together again till football season. We had a beautiful day, great food, and wonderful friends! We are so glad Laney could be there - we hadn't seen her in a few months and can't believe how big she is getting. Thanks to everyone for all the great gifts for Barnes. We can't believe how time is flying by; he will be here before we know it.

Saturday night we drove to Rock Hill to celebrate our niece's 1st birthday. Lillyann had the most fun getting pushed around in her new toys and devouring her cake. She definitely wasn't as interested in opening her gifts. We can't believe how fast a year is gone and can't wait for her to meet her cousin, Barnes.

Sunday we headed to the lake for the day with the Causey's. We didn't let the rain scare us away and we did get a few hours of fun in the sun. We also survived a thunder storm and getting soaked on the way back to the house.

I now 30 weeks! 10 weeks till our due date. I am feeling pretty "done". I am finally at the point where I want a good drink and my body back! I have nothing to complain about, and I am still having a wonderful pregnancy. I am just waiting to get huge, swell, and have back pain but until then I am enjoying feeling great! I think I am just ready...we have so many of the things we need, we are working on the nursery, and the house...and I am just READY!

29 weeks and Family Shower

So, last weekend my mom was in town and we went to Spartanburg for one of my showers. My sister-in-law, Katie, my aunt, Judy, and my cousin's wife, Libby hosted the shower last Saturday afternoon. It was so nice to see everyone and get the family together! I am glad that it was low key and small. I think we all has such a great time visiting with each other. Thanks to everyone for all of my wonderful gifts!

4th of July at Sullivans

I am a little behind in posting! 2 weeks ago was fourth of July and we took a really quick trip to Sullivans Island. I wish we could have stayed all weekend but LJ and I were determined to get somethings done in the nursery. While in Sullivans we went to the beach and grilled out with Meredith and Jason. I don't think LJ and I left the house/beach all weekend.

We got back late Saturday night and spent Sunday working around the house and Monday LJ and Lee worked on the nursery. We have decided to go with the easy and inexpensive fix. We had torn down a built-in about 1 year ago and hadn't fixed it so we decided to just match the existing paneling. Fortunately for LJ, Lee came over Monday to help and they got all the new paneling up!

27 weeks and Double Baby Shower at Home

This past weekend I got to go home to Arkansas for mine and my sister, Sarah's double baby! It was so great to finally see Sarah pregnant! We hadn't seen each other since Christmas. Sarah drove up from Louisiana with my cousin Ali for the weekend. It was so much fun spending time together and just relaxing. The three of us grew up together and I can't remember the last time just the three of us got to be together. Also, on Saturday our Aunt Martha and daughter McKayla drove down from Northwest Arkansas to join in the festivities! It was so great to spend time with them too.

Saturday we headed over to Monica's for the baby shower. They did such a great job! It was beautiful from the wreath with pacifiers hanging from it to the beautiful flowers and center piece with a little baby girl and baby boy in a baby carriage. They had a room set up for all of Barnes' gifts and a room set up for Parker's (Sarah's little girl) gifts with monogrammed balloons and baby cradles to put the gifts in. I think we had even more fun back at mom's going through all of our wonderful gifts. We are so fortunate to have wonderful friends and family!

Was 27 weeks on Sunday and still feeling great! I have my glucose test next Wednesday and have noticed more motion sickness and jet lag than usual but so far things are great.
