The Nursery Is Getting Smaller, While My Belly Gets Larger!

We haven't put up any decorations yet except the mobile which we LOVE!! My theme is world globes so you'll see much more come through in decor later. I have 8 weeks left... plenty of time! Thanks to generous friends and family we've gotten almost EVERYTHING we need for Baby B to arrive! Only decor stuff (and a mattress) left to get!

The door hanging pillow was made by my creative and super athletic neice Elle. THANK YOU ELLIE BELLIE it matches perfect in his new room!
These are some of the globes on the mobile! Also trying some artist shots before baby comes!
The boxes don't match the decor so I've order 4 light blue ones that DO match, but you get the idea with these before I return them!

Our dresser/changing table! Beautiful and matches perfectly with the crib! AJ put it together relaly late one night and we LOVE it! THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!! You're SO generous and we LOVE having you in our thoughts as we change EVERY diaper on this beautiful peice of furniture!

Empty crib with no mattress or bumper... but it's coming... very, very soon!

Oh, and I'll finally put a 31.5 weeks preggo picture up since I've had some beggers...

AJ Goes to Australia

So after the long flight to Hawaii in my first trimester... there was NO WAY I was going on a 5 hr flight to CA, then a 14 hr flight to Australia... So I stayed home and remodeled our basement! Finally decided on a color, replaced light fixtures and blew up and framed some of our favorite home photography to hang!


Oh, and AJ got to fly first class too! Hence his feet and personal TV!

I'm so mad I missed the first business trip he's taken without me!!!

Let's Go To Hawaii!

In December, AJ got a surprise last minute business trip to Hawaii, so OF COURSE, we had to go! So 12 weeks preggo, I hopped in a bikini (last time for a while, I'm sure) and went to Honolulu, to snorkel, eat great food, relax on the beach and catch some beautiful sunsets from the pristine waters! We saw a luau, and explored all over Pearl Harbor during the Anniversary day too! AJ had never been to any of the islands so it was a great trip to say the least!




We visited the famous north shore to watch some wild surfing contest too!

We even had pinapple ice cream with pinapple chuncks, in a pinapple cup at a pinapple plantation! Pheww!

AJ got his picture taken with a Luau dancer!

We went snorkeling in the most beautiful filled in crater too!

We went snorkeling below... you can see the carved out natural crater that filled in!

This is the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbbor, very sobering tour, but a must see for all generations!

Catching Up from OBX Trip in 2010!

Ok, so here is me catching up (mainly for my little sister who is so much better at this than me) a little since lots has changed in our lives the last few months!

In October, 2010 we went to OBX as has been tradition since we got married! We had a blast, not to mention the day we got back was when we found out we were expecting our first baby!!! God knew what he was doing with giving us a relaxing trip away at the beach, just enough to let that little egg nest perfectly!

The girls are wearing the matching jumpers I made them! Yup, I sewed them!!! My experimentation turned out pretty well!

My brother and sister are teasing us here since we ALWAYS have a kissing picture shot, so this time, we let them have one of their own!!!
