Pumpkin!

It's fall y'all...and I'm still pregnant! haha  Addy was due on Thursday, but she seems to be quite content to stay in my belly a little longer.  Since Saturday was the official first day of fall and the fact that Adeline is suppose to be the size of a pumpkin right now, I thought it would be very fitting to take some fun pictures with a PUMPKIN!!

 

 Let's keep our fingers crossed that Addy will be a September baby!

Window Project for the Nursery

Turning trash into a little treasure!  Another one of my DIY projects for the nursery was to hang Adeline's name from this old window; however, it needed some love.

 First off, we broke the rest of the window panes out, so it would be consistent throughout.  Then, we brushed all the dust off with air and wiped it down with water, so it would be clean, dry and dull.  The base coat of the window was a good enough color for me, so I left it alone.

 Next step was brushing on a layer of crackle to the window so that the blistering magic could happen.  After I let that dry for 2 hours, it was time to put on the blue top coat.  A trick I love to use when painting is to put a rubber band around the can so you have a place to wipe excess paint off your brush.

And then...voila!  Now, I have a rustic chic blue window that is hanging in the nursery.

I cut her name out with scrapbook paper that coordinated with Addy's bedding.  I got into a couple fights with mod podge- it was TOTALLY not being my friend, but I think the project turned out in the end!  And yes, I realize that the window is upside down, but we had already attached the wire backing before we noticed- I prefer it better this way! haha

The window is hanging over her changing table.

Here is what her bedding looks like!  I love the soft but girly colors of the different fabrics!

Now, if only she would come to see her room! 

Introducing Case!

We are only 5 days away from sweet Adeline's due date- when she will decide to come is a totally different story.  Robby and I finally put the car seat in the car- which might I add was a little confusing! haha  My hospital bag for the most part is packed and ready to go...now we just need a baby!  I broke down yesterday and bought a shower curtain to put underneath our sheet, so if my water breaks it won't ruin our nice foam pillow topper....I feel like I'm 4 again and am wetting the bed.  That plastic is so noisy and traps in tons of heat...oh the sacrifices made to save the bed! haha

Lauren was not due till September 3rd, but Case decided to come 6 days early into the world.  Timing wise- it worked out GREAT because we were able to go down Labor Day weekend to meet our new nephew.  (I didn't tell my Dr. that I was traveling that weekend- oops! haha) Totally worth it though!  On our way down to Boerne, we stopped in Granger to see my grandparents and get some good family time in.  My Grandpa is an amazing man, and I'm so thankful for him!  They are looking forward to meeting their great grand daughter.

I am an AUNT!!!!

Case got to say "Hi" to Adeline.  I hope they will get to be the best of buds when they are little.  Lauren and Spencer are going to be great parents to that little man!

 On Saturday, the men went dove hunting.  Don't worry- they didn't take Case, just Granger the professional retrieving dog.  On Sunday, Spencer sweetly got his friend to take maternity pictures for Robby and I!  I haven't seen them yet, but I'm super excited to see how they turned out.

Robby and I are thrilled to be an Aunt and Uncle to this precious baby boy!

 Hopefully the next baby pictures to come will be of our new baby GIRL!

Here is a belly picture from last week!
