Proverbs Thirty One: Thirty

The last couple weeks have been filled with decorating fun!

We have been working on Breyton's coming room.  We'll be moving him into the guest room now that is becoming his new room.  Jon's been doing a great job on the chair rail and shelf.  We just got the shelf up yesterday, it still needs the piece of trim in front of it, then it will be complete.  Then I get to stain, caulk, and touch up paint.  Then ... it will be done!  I have been working on his artwork to go in there for a while.  It was a more detailed project than I anticipated.  I stole the idea off of a room posted on HGTV's Rate My Space page.  They are 16x20 canvas' painted in his name.  Jon made the car outline that is an BMW M-Coupe (of course).  The colors match his new bedding.  Here are the progress photos of his room.

Then for the new nursery, we are doing pink, green, and brown.  I just finished the artwork today that will go on the shelf in that room.  I also stole this idea off the same website!  :)  The flowers are artificial peonies from Hobby Lobby, reed stems, and cut out birds using my Cricut.  I love it.  Then under the chair rail I'm going to put wooden letters of her name on the wall (after she's born :) ... maybe modge-podged with the same paper as the birds?  Then floating away from her name I'm going to put up these really cool white wall flowers (see pics) (idea also stolen from HGTV).  My mom and grandma are going to make bedding with the fabrics that are by the canvas'.  So much fun!  I love that we're having a girl!  I've had these ideas saved on my computer for a while now!  Excited to get to put them into reality!


And then, there is this little baby in me that I am convinced she is making space to grow by using her feet!  She is such a little kicker!  The other day I had such bad ligament stretching pain all night and the next day!  Again, I am getting similar comments on pregnancy as I did with Breyton's.... "You're pregnant?"  "You're so small!"  "You should feel lucky."  At least this time, I new it would come.  I don't think I am destined to be a big bellied pregnant gal, although that was always my desire.  So, as usual, nearer my due date, people will know I am pregnant.  :)  Here are progress photos of the little baby girl.

Today was ultrasound day!  The big question is {what is it}?!  We'll let Breyton tell you!





Yep, there you have it!

The ultrasound was great!  She was kicking a ton, which I and the ultrasound gal could feel!  She also had both hands up by her face most of the time, putting her hands in her mouth a lot.  Very cute little baby in there!  It was super fun to see her moving around!

We are super excited for a little girl!  (We would have been equally excited for a boy!)  And what is nice is we've had a girl named pretty much picked out since Breyton, except the middle name.  So, as Jon said, "done."  (On the name)  I am excited to plan a girl nursery... my head is starting to go in a million directions for that already!  Next week will be fun, getting to start Breyton's big boy room and the nursery!  A boy AND a girl!  How fun!  May 19th!!  I told Jon maybe we should put her in the bigger room since it has a bigger closet!  :)  For all the clothes she will have!!  And shoes, I said!!

We tried to take a video of the ultrasound but to no luck, so here are the couple photos that Jon took.


Then, as tradition, after the ultrasound we went to pick out a girl outfit for sometime after she's born.  And we found a cute baby book and just got it now as well!
