So we're getting closer and closer to the half way mark! I thought I'd do something different for my weekly update rather than just rambling. I found this little questionaire thing from another Momma-To-Be (who is also an Angel Momma) Castle Avenue Blog, and thought I'd like to do my weekly updates that way as well so my thoughts are more organized! I've...

It has officially begun ladies and gents. Project Nursery is well underway! John and I went to Home Depot yesterday to look at paint swatches and ended up buying the paint and supplies because we picked out and agreed on a color right there and then! Its a miracle! It took us one year to agree on a paint color for our living...

So the DIY baby crafts have begun! I was scrolling through etsy for things to add to the baby registry and came across paci clips and saw these braided ones! I thought, "hmm! Those can't be that complicating to make!" So instead of adding them to my list, I decided I'd head to Michaels & Jo-Anns for some supplies! I bought the leather...

So the baby stuff has officially taken over the guest-room nursery. Majority of the stuff here are gifts, some I bought (only stuff that are on sale! lol), and some we already had. I've even scored some cute newborn clothes at this place called Once Upon a Child, its like a Plato's closet but for babies and kids. Its so awesome! They're gently...

Apparently, today is Bump Day! Its a day to bring awareness about the importance of a healthy pregnancy, and the challenges that come with it! Despite the crazy symptoms and hormones, I have embraced pregnancy from the get go! We have wanted this baby for so long that there was no way I was going to let the bad side of pregnancy ruin...

We started our first in-store registry at Target! It was pretty cool! We hadn't used a registry gun since our wedding one! Of course John was in charge of the scanning, and I just pointed at the ones we would need and that interested me. He was also having the time of his life scanning away with that scanner! I love how John...

So I have been on the hunt for vintage luggages for a while now, even before the pregnancy! I wanted some for photography props! I scored these cute luggages for a total of $60 from two different stores. The large brown leather one was $15 from an antique store near my house, and the other two were from $45 for both from Vintage...

Oh boy! I might be in trouble here! Before John and I decided to even start trying for a baby many years ago, he has already started to collect some shoes. So far, this is what the baby has. He's not even out yet, and already has a collection! John used to buy shoes.. a LOT! Until I slowly convinced him out of...

The baby purchases have begun! I have been holding back for a while now!! Everytime I go to the store, I always make a stop at the baby isle and I'd have to stop myself from buying anything, but now that we know the gender, it is so on! Lol! What better way to start than with baby sales!! The Nex is currently...

Hello 17 weeks and happy hump day ya'll! ;) I thought it was appropriate to post this bump picture today! I didn't think I was getting big until I looked back on our 12 week bump picture! Im definitely getting big. Im fortunate enough right now where its just in my tummy, but Im sure when I get further along it'll be more...

We also had her boyfriend, Alex record from John's camera but I cant seem to upload it on to my laptop! I dont know if its cuz of formatting. =| I watched it for the first time today and teared up! I...

Today, I turn one year older! I don't really get excited for my birthday anymore, especially because the last few birthdays John has had duty so I either spend it alone, or with friends. Today is just like those birthdays. John has work until tomorrow, so I ended up having brunch with a few girlfriends. I'm glad that this year, I dont have...

Where do I even begin?! The gender reveal picnic was amazing! Long before John and I found out that we were pregnant, I already knew how I wanted to do it: waterguns with paint. I haven't seen anyone else do it, until one night I was browsing through Pinterest and searching for reveal ideas for the future, and put in water gun gender...

Today was a rough and exciting day all at the same time. Rough because I have been throwing up since 2:15 am and have had no appetite whatsoever and today was our 3d/4d Ultrasound appointment to find out the gender and I was supposed to drink 20 oz. of water beforehand. I barely took three bites of my breakfast and drank maybe 6...
