It's a...

Well, it's a 50 / 50 shot at guessing, right? ;) Okay, okay, I won't keep it to myself any longer ... it's a B.O.Y.!! We are both SO thrilled and excited, it's hard to believe we'll be holding our little man in less than five months. And while we've got a TON to do to prepare before his arrival, thought I'd celebrate a moment of peace. {Tick tock, tick tock}

Okay ... now where do I start?!

Hello Again

So when I fall off the bandwagon, I reeeeaaaalllly fall off! BUT, we're about to start the baby room, so I'm excited to share our ideas and projects. And, I already have a list of stuff I want to accomplish after the baby arrives. You know, when I have all that free time while on maternity leave (I'm sure you moms are laughing at me right now!) :)

Oh, and we found out what we're having ... I'll share tomorrow! ;)

WIWW: Preggo Edition

Hey there! So I'm a day behind ... what else is new? :) Not many pictures to post for the last week -- had several days where I felt like crap and literally wore the same jammies for days.

And after looking at many of the posts last week for WIWW from fellow bloggers, I must say you guys are getting oober creative with your photos! You guys are starting to look more like models and less like us everyday folks. It's just little ol' me and my Evo, and you guys are getting fancy with outside photos and tripods. I'm jealous. Or envious. Or both? Makes me think I should Windex my bathroom mirror ... or at least move that pile of hangers. ;)

Forgotten Projects

I'd started several projects pre-preggo. Then, when the intense tiredness hit, they all got set aside and left for a rainy day. Well, we've had oodles of rainy days and they're still sitting! But, I'm hoping to get them finished -- and get the house {remotely} organized -- before baby arrives in early July.

Like, organizing our closet...

Painting the laundry room...

Finishing the picture wall upstairs...

Installing the knobs I bought for the guest bathroom...

Finally doing something with the old cabinet door I bought at the Habitat Restore forever ago {Hey, at least I primed it! Something for the baby room, perhaps?}...

And finishing re-vamping my Granddad's old lamp...

Not to mention everything we need to do to get baby's room ready...

Guess that would be priority numero uno? :)

Wish List: Kamofie Ring

I've fallen in love with this ring...

A gal can dream, right?!

WIWW: Preggo Edition

WIWW is back! And this week I've been feeling uber preggo. It's hard to tell in these photos, but I love that my belly is finally taking shape. I'm starting to look less like I ate too many nachos and more like I'm growing a baby -- and at 15.5 weeks, that's a good thing!

Many thanks to my awesome friend Brit for letting me borrow some of her maternity clothes. Will really help to stretch my wardrobe -- and dollar -- farther. And, it helps that I got several maternity store giftcards for Christmas! :)

{Oh, and I forgot to post last week, so there's a couple of extra days ... making up for the days I missed this week!}
