30 Week Checkup

 

 I was completely bored at my checkup yesterday so I turned it into a photo op

 

 

My $12 earrings from Mistletoe Marketplace

 

My Anniversary Gift and new watch

 

My 30 week belly

 

 

Doctor says I look great and I now start going every 2 weeks!

 

And yes there may or may not have been a tear shed when I stood on the scale.... :0(

 

 

Mallie Update

 

My strong willed independent stubborn at times sweet baby girl - and I love everything about her.

She might get star student of the week at daycare but last night her and Brett fought over just about every toy possible.

Mallie: "We have to share mommy"

Me : "That's right sweetie (as I am opening one of Brett's new toys)

*Much screaming from Brett

Me: "Mallie! share with Brett!" x4

 



 

 

 

Pillow Update

 

I was able to finish 5 pillows last night for my friend, yay!

 

I didn't iron them well because

#1 - I'm 30 weeks pregnant and lazy

 #2 - She wanted at least 4 pillows done by today so I was just rushing to finish

 

 

 

I have also decided I want this necklace in black

 

 

 

I bought a dress at Mistletoe that would look amazing with a black statement necklace

 

I am sorry I never posted about what I bought that weekend... call it preggo brain :0)

 

 

Rash Update

 

 Brett broke out in that rash again yesterday afternoon but this time it was all over

 his body, so off to the doctor he went and it has been ruled a food reaction....

 but what food is the question.... scary I know!

 

He is on Benadryl every 6 hours and Steroids.... and let's just say

Brett + Steroids = crazy unhappy screaming toddler!

 

 

Tonight I am going to my Mother-in-law's Premier Jewelry Party

 

 

Have a Fantastic Tuesday :0)

30 weeks and a Weekend Recap

 

Friday

 

 I went to Mallie's Thanksgiving Program

*Isn't she the cutest little Indian!?*



 

 

 

Saturday

 

Brett developed a crazy rash out of nowhere, but with the help of some Benadryl is was

 gone within an hour.

 

 

Brett's birthday was great, he started throwing a fit when he saw the cupcakes on the table so

this is him eating a pre-party cupcake.

 

 

 

Present time!

 

 

He would not stay still in my lap, so this is the best shot of us

 

 

And the official birthday cupcake eating

 



 

Sunday

 

I was commissioned by my friend to make some pillows with my fabric!

 



 

Oh and I have been going through some baby clothes and it is kinda hard to tell but the onesie and mini diaper are newborn size and the diaper on the right is Brett's diaper.

 

It's soo small!! :0)

 

 

Speaking of babies....

Which Art?

 

 

I will be ordering a piece of art from Laurel Dawn and I am totally confused on which one to get

 

 

My top choices:

 

Flowers for Millie

 

 

 

Flowers for Lady

 

 

 

Flowers for Nook

 

 

Flowers for Hannah

 

 

 

Some of the pieces have been sold out but she can do a commissioned piece.

 

So If I tell her like these four maybe she can come up with a something that is very similar??

 

What do you think???

 

Here is a very close version of what my living room looks like with one of the prints above the fireplace.

 

 

 

I wanted a piece of art to bring in more color

 

 

Well??? I need help!

Birthday Themes

 

Brett's Vintage Carnival Theme

(Red and Aqua )

 

 

I sent out these Lion invitations from Target (they were on sale for $1.48 no lie)

 

 

 

 

I ordered this Birthday Banner from Etsy

 

 

And I also ordered the cupcake wrappers and toppers

 

 

 

 

This is the party package, isn't it adorable!?

 

 

 

I am having to be cost savvy considering Mallie's birthday is in 2 weeks and then Christmas follows.

 

*I am only getting the banner, toppers and wrappers*

 

 

 

 

Mallie's Ice Cream Bar Party

 

I am debating on which ice cream theme but here are the ones I have chosen

 

Ice Cream Party #1

Ice Cream Party #2

Ice Cream (Princess) Party #4

I am still trying to figure out which one I like the best...

 

*These party packages are all DIY printable*

 

Now I just need to:

 order Brett's cupcakes

 buy tablecloths/napkins/bowls/utensils (for both parties)

snacks

bottle water
