What a week!

Posted on March 28, 2009

This week was simply amazing!! My best friend Jen, texted me at 3:30am that she had her baby girl! So I took of Monday afternoon and tuesday and drove up to Round Rock to go see her and meet the new bundle of joy. She is so beautiful and tiny!!! I’ve been busy editing photos from the hospital visit and am really excited about taking newborn photos for her! I also got to check out the IKEA store and got some props for newborn sessions. So excited about that! On thursday I got my Real Mom Giveaway bag from Ju Ju Be. I entered a weekly contest and my submission was chosen! They give you a free diaper bag of your choice. I LOVE my JJB bags so many choices! Here are some of the bags I have minus the two black bags :) Really the only bags are the pink bag and the blue/green bag! The other items are just little accessories!

this is the bag that I chose for my free bag:

it is a drip drops beprepared! I LOVE it! I’m going to use it as my hospital bag and it’s also great for two kids and taking long trips!

As if that wasn’t enough to be happy about that same night we opened the mail to find out I had been awarded a $5000 check to put towards my student loans! I’m pretty excited about that!

God has definitely been GOOD to me this week! Hopefully the goodness will continue when I go take my counseling skills test!!!! ;)

Project Paint!

Posted on March 10, 2009

wow it’s been a long time! we’ve been busy with work and school and all that other good stuff! This week I am thankfully on SPRING BREAK!!! yay! It’s also Andrew’s first week out of day care until August. I always forget how tired he can make me especially now being pregnant! This week my wonderful mom and grandma are helping me paint Andrew and Lexi’s rooms :) It’s very hard to be decisive when you are pregnant and tackling two rooms makes it harder! Today we got Andrew’s room painted it just needs some touch ups and decorations! We are going with a transportation/construction theme. Andrew LOVES “big trucks” The blue started off as a navy blue but my pregnant mind didn’t think it would work so I had to have them lighten the blue. Originally it was going to have a brown accent wall but that didn’t work out so now I am stuck with a 30 dollar gallon of brown paint! Anyone need any brown??? :) Here are some photos!

Andrew wanted to help! Here he is sporting one of daddy’s white t-shirts and priming the walls… bye bye baby room!

 

and here is the paint color we went with it is called Undecided Pregnant Blues ;) originally Boat Blue but modified!

we were debating on putting a stripe but after the long day of my indecisiveness I think it shall just be a solid color room! We are going to get construction signs to put up on the wall. It’s still a work in progress but the hard part is FINISHED!! now if only I could decide what to do with Lexi’s room!! another day… Hope you all have a wonderful week!
