Buddy...Our Spoiled Boy

Tonight we took Buddy to Petsmart with us and oh did he have a good time! He looked at the birds and barked at the cats that were up for adoption. We were out of dog food and treats. He ended up getting two different kinds of treats and a toy. We let him walk down the toy aisle and pick one out. We had to tear the tag off so the guy could scan it b/c Buddy would not let it go...LOL. He has not let go of it since we got home, he is just like a little kid! I can't wait until we can take Macey on our little family outings!
Sorry if this post looks weird, I am using the blogger app on my new phone. I am that lazy tonight to get off the couch and get the computer.

New Phone and Paint

I can't believe it is already Sunday evening again. The weekends go by way too fast for me. I really think we should change the work week to 2 days and the weekend to 5 days :) We have had a nice weekend just hanging out. Christian and I ran a few errands yesterday and had lunch at Jason's Deli. I've been craving chicken salad and it hit the spot.

Christian has been dying to get a new phone for a while now and I've been so against it. He really wanted the iphone and he actually got me to go look at them this past week but we are still in a contract with Sprint and I wasn't real sure if I wanted to switch to AT&T. I have been with Sprint for so long and never had any issues. So yesterday we went into the Sprint store, so he look at the new HTC Evo and we were both hooked. It pretty much has everything that the iPhone has and we didn't have to pay to cancel our contract! At first we thought that he was the only one eligible for an upgrade, but turned out we both were! So of course I had to get it to. I was a little sad handing over my blackberry, but I think I'm going to love this too. I'm trying to get use to the touch screen...any tips?..lol

Today has been a very relaxing Sunday. I've been cleaning up around the house and napping, while Christian started painting the nursery! He painted all the walls the light purple and then he is going to go back next week and start the stripes!

The walls are still wet in this picture so it doesn't look that great! I love the purple but I'm glad we are doing the stripes and chair rail. I need something to break it up :) I'm just so excited to start on Macey's nursery!!!

Nursery Supplies

First of all let me start with saying TGIF and thank you guys for your opinions on my post about the decals! This week has been so long, even if I did have Monday off. I've been so tired this week and all I want to do is lay around and sleep. Christian and I do not have any plans this weekend and I'm so excited about that!!! I love weekends with nothing to do. We went to eat Mexican for dinner and then to Lowe's. We wanted go ahead and get the paint and supplies for the nursery. I think Christian is going to take an advantage of a free weekend and start working on the paint. The poor guy has so much taping to do since we are doing stripes!

Christian is such a good husband! He gathered all the paint and chandelier together and took a picture for my blog! We decided to do the dark and medium purple stripes with a chair rail and light purple at the top! We also went ahead and bought this chandelier. We've been looking around and I haven't really found one that I liked and one that didn't look cheap. Christian really liked this one, so we bought it!

 

It is really girly like I like and it isn't too big (it looks bigger in this picture than it really is).

We bought these pink crystal knobs for her changing table a while back and Christian put them on tonight! I love them and think they are too cute! I'm telling you I want a super girly nursery!

Final thing...Christian and I are debating whether or not we should paint the ceiling the same light purple that the top of the walls are going to be? What do you think? I'm undecided and he really might kill me if I have him paint the ceiling purple and didn't like it and make him repaint it white...lol! 

Have a great weekend!

24 Week Update

Yesterday I was 24 weeks pregnant and I'm starting to feel prego!!!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 24 Weeks

Size of baby: At our appointment last Tuesday she weighed 1.4lbs!! She is the length of an ear of corn!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 17 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: I am  completely in marternity pants/shorts and mostly shirts as well. I can still wear a few of my regulare shirts.

Gender: Girl!

Movement: Yes! It's starting to get stronger and more frequent! This past weekend we saw my belly move for the first time!!!

What I miss: I can't think of anything.

Sleep: Some night I sleep and some night I'm wide awake. I have a lot of potty breaks.

Symptoms: A lot bathroom breaks, heartburn and indigestion (not as bad), exhausted, and starting to feel pregnant when I move or walk!

Cravings: Fruit Juice and Cantaloupe

Best Moment this week: Christian and I seeing my belly move! Also, you probably don't care but I don't want to forget. This past weekend at the wedding when the song "This Will Be" came on Macey went crazy and as soon as it ended she stopped moving! It was too cute!

What I am looking forward to: Starting on her nursery!

I Need Your Help!!!

I always have such a hard time making decisions, so I'm turing to y'all for advice!!!

I've been looking online for something to go above Macey's crib and I think I've decided on some sort of wall decal, but now the hard part...which one? I think they are so cute and I just can't decide. I have plenty of time to figure it out, but I'm a planner and ready to start the nursery!

I will number them and you can leave the number in the comments!

Of course, the name would say Macey or Macey Marie!

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

#7

The colors will probably be black and pink!

Also, while we are talking about the nursery again.

Would you girls recommend some sort of rocking chair or glider? I am undecided if I want one, I'm not sure if I will use it, but I don't want to regret not having one.

Baby Nursery

Christian and I cleaned out the office last weekend, so we could start working on the nursery for our sweet girl! We also went ahead and registered at Babies R Us and Target and ended up getting the crib and changing table. I was so excited that we got so much accomplished that weekend.

Here is the proud daddy putting the crib together! We were going to wait to put the furniture in the room until we painted, but Babie R Us suggested that we go ahead and put it together to make sure we weren't missing any pieces.

 The crib put together! I just love it and can't wait to have my sweet girl in it!

I also love her changing table!

As you can tell in the previous pictures we have been experimenting with paint.

I think this is what we have decided to go with. We are going to do dark and medium purple stripes on the bottom with a chair rail and light purple at the top. You can see a small piece of her bedding in this picture. I want it super girly with pink and purple!!!

I haven't had a chance to take pictures of the bedding, but I will soon and will be posting about it.

I'm so excited to get started on Macey's nursery!!!!

Our 4th of July Weekend

We left on Friday for Wilmington around lunch time for my friend Sarah's wedding. I was the Maid of Honor, so I had to be there in time on Friday for the rehearsal. She got married on the beach and the reception was on the river. Friday evening we all met on the beach to rehearse the ceremony and then went to a local country club for dinner.

Here I am leaving the beach at 23 1/2 weeks pregnant.

Luckily the weather was really nice this weekend and it wasn't too hot.

Here I am with the bride at the dinner.

We've grown up together and have been friends since we were four.

Here I am with my parents!

Sarah gave us these really cute bags and filled with a beach towel, make up bag, and jewelry to wear for the wedding.

Sarah got my bag monogrammed with Macey's initials!

The wedding!

Here I am at the rehearsal.

I was so tired and thirsty when we arrived to the reception, so I was in this chair most of the night!

Here I am with my hubby on the river with the beautiful sunset!

We got home yesterday afternoon around 2:00 and Christian and I were exhausted from me not sleeping well in the hotel, so we took a 3 hour nap. Once we got up we went to dinner and then met my family to watch the fireworks!

I hope you all had a Happy 4th of July!!!!
