So we received the peanut's bedding in the mail last week...and I LOVE IT! So stinking excited to start working on the nursery, only we have a little bit longer before we start that. It's coming..I know it..just not there yet. Anyways, I keep promising pictures so here we are. They aren't nearly as pretty as they will be once they're in the crib but you'll at least get an idea. This week I found three little mirrors that are the perfect orange color..I think maybe we'll hang them over the crib and then when he gets a little bigger he'll like to look at them. Hopefully.
Here is a picture from online to get an idea of the finished product...we will actually have a white crib too so I was glad to see it looked ok with that. I don't think we'll go with the nautical theme..but I just love the cheerful colors.
I need to post pictures of when Mom and Dad were here...I'm a terrible daughter and I'm pretty sure we didn't take one picture together while they were here, but I have pictures of what we accomplished! But they were awesome! We had so much fun with them! Poor Dad wasn't up to shopping with Mom and I every day, and Brad had to work..so instead Dad kindly repainted our back hallway, and the whole front hallway and front room. I love how it looks! I can't post quite yet because we're still slowly putting things back together in there. Brad is working on repainting the trim in the house..he's doing an amazing job. I know it's really tedious work for him and not the most fun job ever...but it means so much to be! Anyways, while they were here we took them out for some good Texas food, introduced them to more of our friends, washed our windows, weeded our yard (even though I really thought I had already done that), and overall just had some nice quality time together. Seriously, I love when our family comes to visit. I'm so excited for when the little man is born and we have both our families here at the same time..it will be crazy and awesome!
This weekend we went to Houston with some friends for the Chiefs/Texans game. I had never been to an NFL game, or to Houston for that matter...it was so cool. I mean the stadium seemed huge..and it was so clean. It was military appreciation day and they had servicemen parachute which fascinated me. I will say it was sad that the Chiefs didn't end up with the win...especially since as a Colts fan I kinda hate the Texans. It was still totally worth the trip! We had a great time!
In other news..this week we received an umbrella stroller in the mail from Brad's sweet aunts and cousins! I LOVE IT! Brad put it all together for me and I wheeled it around the kitchen..you know just to practice. Anyways, it's so cool. Next weekend I get to head back to Lafayette for showers with friends and family. I'm so excited I can't even tell you. I think it makes this all seem so very real. I mean I realize that the growing belly, and the constant sweet movement in there should probably seal the deal for me...but this does it instead! I'll be able to celebrated this little man with our sweet friends and family! Just have to work 4 out of the next 5 days and then I'm off!
One AMAZING AWESOME ONLY GOD COULD DO moment of this week I have to share! We have neighbors who have four sweet little kiddos. Well last week on Thursday I was leaving and there was an ambulance in our cul-de-sac and our neighbor said his 5 year old had been having seizures and they were headed to the hospital. We were so worried! I didn't get to get an update for a couple of days as we were super busy and working. On Saturday we got an update, and the little guy had a severe bacterial meningitis. I went up to see him on Saturday and it was just devastating. Anyways...we prayed hard over the last couple of days, and I know there were many many people lifting him to the Lord in prayer. On Tuesday they were able to take out his breathing tube and off all the IV medications, and when I went to see him yesterday he was out of the PICU and into a normal room. He looks amazing! I just feel like it's such a miracle...I know how sick that precious child was...and now they think they might get to take him home on Monday. It will be a long road to complete recovery for him...but I just know our Lord healed that child. It's amazing!
So on we go! Hope you have a great week! We reached week 24 today! That's just crazy!!! We're just under a month away from the THIRD TRIMESTER! WHAT?! Here's a picture from last night. I'm not gonna lie...it's becoming incredibly apparent that this little guy is truly in there! We're so so so excited to meet him!
