A Painting for Peyton

I knew I wanted to paint something for Peyton's room.  So, I went to Hobby Lobby and purchased these items:

Then one afternoon, I picked up the paint brush and started to paint something for my little monkey.  And this is the finished product. 

The inspiration came from my cute baby shower invitations.  I hope Peyton likes it.

Baby Bump Update

Again, I fell behind on updating pictures of the baby bump.  I have a feeling that it's always going to be like this........not enough time in the day to get everything done. 

Here is the latest on the baby bump:

Week 35:

Week 36:

As you can see, the bump is still growing.  I am feeling very large and my poor feet look like balloons.  It is all worth it though.  I am counting down the days until I get to hold my little bundle of joy.  :)

I am 34 weeks!

Only 6 more weeks or less!

Jon and I are still working on the nursery.  I am hoping to post pictures of the finished product soon.  I am so excited about it!  It is close to being finished.  :)

Our baby shower is on the 18th of June and I am so excited!  Saturday could not get here fast enough!  I look forward to spending some time with our friends!

I hope everyone has a great week!

The Nursery....A Work in Progress

Jon and I have been working really hard on trying to get Peyton's room ready before his/her birthday.  It seems like we have been working on project after project.  I am very pleased with what we have so far.  It is slowly coming together.  I still have to get a few more things in there, but it will be finished soon.  I promise when the nursery is complete, I will post pictures. 

Jon and I searched and searched for an end table to put in the nursery that wouldn't break the bank.  We finally found this one at Garden Ridge.  The only problem was that it was red.

But it was nothing a little primer, paint, and stain couldn't fix.  It matches the nursery so well now.  It couldn't have turned out any better.

For a few months now, I hav been googling growth charts.  I didn't want to mark on the wall because I know we are not going to live in this house forever and I wanted something we could take with us so we can see how much Peyton grows over the years. 

Well, I found this one on someone's blog and fell in love with it.

So, I thought I could make one for Peyton's room too.  So, off to Lowe's Jon and I went.  After a few hours of staining and painting, here is the final product of Peyton's growth chart.

I absolutely love it!  I think it's one of my favorite things in the nursery!

33 Weeks

I am 33 weeks!

I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going.  It seems like only yesterday Jon and I found out we were pregnant.  Now we're trying to get everything ready for Peyton's arrival, which will be in 6-7 weeks!

It's hard to believe that there is a 5 lb baby in there!

Two Ultrasounds in One Day

This past Wednesday I was scheduled for an ultrasound at my doctor's office to see how big baby Peyton is.  And that same afternoon we were scheduled for our 2nd 3D ultrasound.  I loved getting to see baby Peyton twice in one day!

Peyton currently weighs 5 lbs 1 oz., give or take 12 oz. It looks like Peyton is going to be around 8 to 9 lbs at delivery.  I'm pretty sure my eyes got big when the nurse practitioner told me that, but it is what it is.  All I ask is that Peyton is healthy on his/her birthday, which is around the corner.  :)

2D Ultrasound:

Peyton's little ear

Peyton's profile

Peyton's nose, lips and chubby cheeks!

Peyton's hand (which always seems to be by his/herface)

3D Ultrasound:

I am so in love with those chubby cheeks!

Sleeping baby

I can't wait to see how much Peyton will resemble these pictures when he/she is born.
