Isn't this sexy?

And for the record, YES I did have my bathing suit on you just can't see it because it is engulfed in my tremendous mass.

New Belly Picture....24 weeks, 5 days

Boy does this look funny or what? I look like I am about to fall forward. Yea balance isn't my best attribute these days, neither is getting up or down. There seems to be alot of grunting, haha. My next dr. appt. is the 29th - PRAY for me that I do not have to take the 1hr. gestational diabetes test. I heard it's tortuous.

All is well on our end, she is extremely active and her daddy likes to feel her kick. She even kicked him in the face yesterday as he was trying to listen for her heartbeat.

Birthday Wrap-up

My birthday dinner was great! Last night, me, Bobby, Andrea (my sister) and her husband and kids and my mom all met at Los Mexicanos for a Mexican fiesta. I think my birthday celebration is going to continue all week **snicker**

Friday night we have plans with three other couples to dine out at a fine place called Viaggio. Then on Saturday, Bobby and I are checking in to the Don Cesar for some sort of surprise getaway he has planned. I only know that we're going there, nothing else. Who knows what he has up his sleeve, but after our Paris engagement, I'm sure it's something romantic and sweet. (But won't live up to Paris, haha).

Cheers to 31 years! It's going to be the best year yet ;-)

The STUFF is hung :-) **UPDATED**

*UPDATE*
The lighting is finished! Check it out - Chinese lanterns with green bamboo covering the wiring. Our handyman deserves an award for this :-)

Here's a couple updated photos with the prints framed and hung, animals up and also the mirrors. Today we should get the lanterns installed correctly, and I will update with new pictures provided all goes well.

Nursery Progress!

The rug and mobile arrived today. I hung the panels with the bamboo stick and after patting myself on the back, I decided to snap a couple pics to show off my vision coming to life. I have yet to hang the mobile, I think I will leave that task to Bobby.

**Please excuse the nosy kitties**






The lanterns are temporarily rigged to the open wiring in the ceiling with a pink shoe string. Our handy man is going to install a track and hang them staggered attached to the switch on the wall and I am going to use bamboo to cover the wires they hang from.

Decor and more...wall prints!

After weeks of searching and mind-changing to no avail, I found three 8 x 10 prints for the nursery that will be just perfect. The below pieces came from Etsy (once again) seller IcingOnTheCupcake.

Latest Belly Pics - 22 weeks, 5 days

It's literally getting in the way now. I feel like I have my own gravitational force, and yes I know "it's only going to get worse". It's all so worth it though and I would not trade it for the world!

I might be addicted..

...to Etsy that is. I found this wall decal entitled "Growing Hearts" and could not pass it up. Seller is lewasdesigns.

I plan to "plant" them on the wall behind the changing table. Originally I had wanted to hang the mirrors below over the changing table, but as with everything else I have changed my mind. I will most likely hang these in the nook where the glider will go.
Diaper Pin Found!!
I finally found the jumbo diaper pin I've been searching frantically for. I originally saw this on HGTV "Rate My Space", and went on the hunt for it since it is so cute. The one I saw is now discontinued from Pottery Barn Kids, but I found a lookalike from Glenna Jean. Here it is:
Here is what it looks like in a room:

In love with the mobile!

Check out this uber-cool mobile that baby girl gets to enjoy:

I ordered it from Etsy seller DebMobiles. I wanted something non-conventional yet a bit girly and guess what? My husband actually loves it too! I can't wait to get it and hang it in her room. Pics to follow, I promise.

Bedding!!

After much searching and mind-changing, I finally found bedding that I love and that goes with the color and theme. I guess things are leaning toward a "Asian Pink Safari" theme with animals and zen-like touches here and there for feng shui. Here's a pic of the bedding - more pics of the nursery to come once it's a little more completed.
