Painting

So, here are some pictures of the nursery so far. I am posting some pics of what it looked like before we cleaned it up. Basically, we used the room as our junk room so there was just stuff everywhere. It only took us about 30 minutes to clean up...don't it look beautiful? :) Then we recruited some help for the painting. Jesse and I had decided when we first got married that we wanted to do our child's nursery in Disney,so we bought some photomosaic puzzles to put together and frame. On one of the walls we were gonna paint blocks, but Jesse decided that to go along with our puzzles that we would do puzzle pieces on the wall instead of the blocks. So far it's kind of hard because of all the cutting in we have to do, but it's a lot of fun. Tracee and Karissa came over and helped us, and we had some Papa John's and some Sonic Dr Pepper baby! I love that Sonic DP! I'll post some more pics of the room once we are all finished. Hope everyone's enjoying their Summer!

Shout out to the momma!

I have to just say that I'm a little proud of my mom right now... My mom is not the kind of person to get out a birthday card on time. Or any gift for that matter. We sometimes harass her because we'll get a Christmas gift 2 months late or something like that. No hard feelings Mom.. Well, yesterday I went to check the mail, and keep in mind this is a day BEFORE my birthday, and what do I see in the mailbox but a birthday card from my mom! I think I heard Angels singing. :) I love it! Anyways, this isn't to point out anything bad Mom, just a shout out lady! I love ya. I'll post more soon.....

25 weeks

So, I'm 25 weeks which means only one thing baby! 15 weeks left! I can't wait. I'm getting really excited and think that we still have a lot to do before Alyssa is here. Today, Jesse's mom and dad, Tracee and her boys came over and we all had Girl Scout Thin Mint Ice Cream cake from Dairy Queen. My birthday is not for another 9 days but we are going to another family function next weekend. The cake was yummy! Loved every bite of it. Especially during this hot Summer we're having. I've been having a lot of crazy dreams lately, but this "what to expect..." book is telling me that it's normal. Did anyone else have any crazy dreams during their pregnancies? Alright, I'm on a roll. 2 posts in a week of each other. Can I get a what what?

IDEAS

Alrighty then..How is it that someone who has never blogged before can tell me that I suck at blogging....TRACEE!!! Tracee was so kind to tell me that I wasn't very good at blogging. I should apologize because we are rather boring. As it turns out I don't think I like the computer very much. Maybe because I'm in front of it all day at work. I have no pictures just because I never remember to take a picture of anything. We do plan on taking a "last vacation" in September sometime, as it will be our last one for awhile. We wanna do something relaxing like Big Bear Lake or San Diego. Something affordable though. We only get about 4 days, and can't really go far since I will be in my third trimester at that point. We just bought the paint for Alyssa's room, and are excited to get started. I invited Trace over so she could help, she told me she would as long as she didn't have to tape anything. I hear ya. We'll make Jesse do all the taping. We wanna do Alyssa's room in all things Disney, but everywhere either has Winnie the Pooh or Mickey. We want ALL THINGS DISNEY in her room. When we get started next week I'll update the blog with our efforts at the nursery. I wish I could afford to pay someone to do a mural for me! Let me know if any of you have any fun vacay ideas within a 4-5 hour drive, and where I can find cute Disney stuff for a baby's nursery. I will try and blog next week! Peace. :)
