25 weeks!

At 25 weeks my hormones seem to be taking over! I am emotional about everything!! I mean EVERYTHING!!!! With that said everything else seems to be going well. We got the armorie back from Elise at Redeemed Furniture. It is beautiful!!!!! Now time to paint the nursery!
Last weekend Anthony participated in the SLO Triathlon. This being his third year in a row. He normally swims, I run and a co worker of his bikes. Well, with me being pregnant it sorta threw a monkey wrench into the plans. So, Anthony recruited our friend Jamie to swim, his co-worker ran and Anthony did the road bike course. His first time ever! He completed it 2 minutes over an hour which we hear it pretty good. I was bummed I couldn't be in it but happy to be able to cheer on Anthony. Next year I will be back in the action!! :)
This post is so late because I've been getting ready for my family to come into town. We are having a family reunion this weekend. Should be fun to see all my Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Not to mention we are having family pictures done with my Mom, Sister, Brother in law and nephew. Can't wait to see how they come out! :)
On the pregnancy front things are going well. Like i mentioned before the hormones are running high and making me a little bit of a drama queen. If this Dolly crossed your path I apologize in advance! Maybe giving her a hug or a coffee will cheer her up! :) Baby girl is kicking like crazy in there making it tough to fall asleep at night sometimes. Getting registered for baby girl. So far Target and Amazon are being worked on! It's so crazy how much this have changed since we had Ethan only 3 short years ago. But, I'm starting to get the hang of this girl thing! Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weather while it last. Until next week, xoxo!

Gender reveal pictures! :)

My pregnancy brain has gotten the best of me. I forgot to post our reveal pictures taken by Becca Boo Photography! :) We just LOVE them!!!!! Thanks again to Becca of Becca Boo Photography and Jamie of Ever After Artistry & Lemonade Design Co.  Love you girls!!!!!!!! 







24 weeks!

So I'm 24 weeks now, that's 6 months!! Ca-razy!! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going!! This week has been spent getting the nursery cleared out. We are expecting house guest, my in laws this weekend and my family next. They need somewhere to sleep so it has kicked my butt into high gear! Anthony has completed my craft closet. I have it, for the most part, organized! We've bought about a million and one plastic storage containers to house various keepsakes. My new friend Elise of Redeemed Furniture picked up the armorie earlier in the week. She has started sanding, painting and distressing. I can't wait to see the final product! Next step for the nursery progress is paint! :)

On the pregnancy front things are awesome! I am feeling wonderful other than a little awkward at times maneuvering around my growing bump. I am trying not to let pregnant slow me down!! :) She is a mover and a shaker in there. We had our monthly doctors appointment on Tuesday. All looked great, she is growing right along. We were informed this is one of the last monthly appointments then we move on to two weeks. Ekk! I think that news kinda freaked Anthony and I out! But we are excited to meet this little lady! :)

Anthony is going to be taking part in the SLO Triathlon this weekend! I'm a little sad I can't run this year but will be back next year! :) So wish him luck, this year he is doing the 15 mile bike ride! We recruited out dear friend Jamie to swim and Anthony co-worker to run. So cheer them on, Go Team Severy/Gray/Gilbert! Until next week, xoxo!

24 weeks on a cloudy day! :)

23 weeks & camping re-cap!

23 weeks and counting!
Over the weekend we went camping with some good friends of ours! Determined to camp Big Sur the Severys and Westmorelands set out to find a site. A HUGE thanks to the Westmorelands for doing the dirty work in searching each campground for a site. With much success we ended up and Pfieffer Campground. What a BEAUTIFUL campground. Our site was perfect, off the road, huge open space for the Little's to run around, beautiful redwoods providing the perfect amount of all day shade and the close to the bathrooms. The weekend was spent visiting, laughing, hiking and relaxing (once the kiddos were in bed that is). Prior to us leaving for our trip my amazing husband invested in a double high air mattress for us. That was the best sleep I have ever had camping!! :) The worst part of camping is the unpacking and laundry that follows so that consumes my day today. Very well worth it though!!
Pregnancy is going along smoothly (knock on wood). Nothing too major to report to you guys. Baby bump is growing right along. This month is the dreaded gestational diabetes test. Pray I pass with flying colors. I don't really feel like have a repeat of that. 
Nursery is coming a long nicely too. Anthony has installed most shelves in my new craft closet and I am down to my last two pieces of furniture to sell to clear out her room. Next on the agenda is to paint! :) I am so excited to see it come together! Stay tuned for pictures! Until next week, xoxo!

23 weeks!
*disclaimer - it was 108 when this picture was taken, lol.

22 weeks!

22 weeks! Wow, I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going! Things are moving right along and feeling great! My baby bump is getting larger and feeling more awkward everyday. Baby girl is kicking and flipping like crazy in there!
We scored a Armoire for the nursery off Craigslist. It was a great deal! Although it doesn't match as of now, it will. I am having a new found friend re finish it to match the other furniture in the room. Over the weekend we went to visit my in laws. A trip to Hobby Lobby and I found a couple hooks for her room also!! While roaming Lowes I'm trying to explain the color I am wanting for the nursery. Without any luck I went to the paint clip isle. Grabbing a color card that is exactly what I'm talking about to show everyone. Just so happens that color is called "Hello Dolly"! How can that NOT be the color of her room! One less thing checked off the list!!
Tomorrow is 4th of July! These holiday's keep sneaking up one me! We don't really have any plans as of now. Probably bbqing, maybe flying some kites and then watching the fireworks! I'm so happy to get a day with my husband and little man in the middle of the week! :) I hope that everyone has a safe and happy Holiday! xoxo!

22 week baby girl bump! :)
