Master Bedroom Edition

Show Us Where You Live Friday- MASTER BEDROOM

Welcome to our master bedroom! As you can tell I love BIG dark furniture!!! Our bedroom furniture came from National Home Center. We bought it when we got married and still lived in Conway. We absolutely love it and are so glad we bought it when we did. The bed post at the head of the bed can move to the foot of the bed as well.... love that you can change it up a bit.
Here's where I need help! I am wanting some curtains but are unsure of exactly what I want. I have an idea but hadn't made the plunge to buy them yet! I have never been a fan of curtains but it gets too bright in our room.... we are going to have to do something, especially with a baby on the way!
We chose not to buy the attached mirror to our dresser. I didn't like the shape of it and it was optional. I found this mirror at Hobby Lobby... 1/2 off of course!!

This is the wall at the end of bed. Mike needed a place to sit and put on his shoes and I just liked having a bench in the room. Can you guess where I bought it???? HA
Hobby Lobby is the place! The pictures above the bench are from Kirkland's.
Our armoire holds our t.v.! The huge picture above my jewelry armoire is from National Home as well. My mother-in-law has the other picture that goes with it and hopefully one day when I have enough room for both of them I can get it from her.... they are beautiful together!
Thats all folks. Hope you enjoyed the tour. Check out the host of Show Us Where You Live by going to Kelly's Korner.

Do you Esty?


I love shopping on Etsy! I discovered it a few years ago and can't get enough of it! Slightly addicted.... I guess so! HA
Now that I am pregnant I have actually started buying stuff on there, not too much just a few things!
I have a large list of favorites and am holding off until after our showers to buy a few more things!

Browsing Etsy makes me wish I knew how to sew!
Most of it looks so easy and I'm pretty crafty.
Just think of all the things I could make for Emily Ann! HA

These are a few of my favorite things!


Happy Shopping!

Grow Baby Grow


Here we are.. 28 weeks 2 days pregnant!
I feel and look HUGE!
I am ALL belly which I guess is a good thing because it will be easier to lose when I have her.
Starting to get somewhat uncomfortable. The tops of my ribs hurt and my feet and hands have begun to swell. Time to start really limiting being on my feet and such...
this is going to be hard for me. I am miss independent and find it much easier to do it myself than have someone else but I'm going to have to stop and rest!

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 28 Weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: up 26lbs
Maternity Clothes: I am wearing mostly maternity clothes now! I had to do a little shopping online because I no longer had much that fit. I can NO longer wear my t-shirts.... need to bump it up a size!
Best Moment this week: Going to the doctor. We had an ultrasound and saw her sweet little profile, pre-registered for the hospital and passed my glucose test!
Gender: IT'S A GIRL!!! Emily Ann
Movement: She moves often, especially when I am sitting still or laying down! It's the best feeling EVER! Her movements have become bigger and stronger and hurt sometimes.
Food Craving: milk and just food in general! HA
What I miss: Sleeping through the night and sleeping on my belly! Bending over and moving at normal speed! HA
Sleep: It's getting harder to sleep... thankfully I am able to cat nap throughout the day if needed! Mike's recliner and I are getting along really well right now!
What I am looking forward to: Lots....other furniture pieces to come in, bedding & canvases to get finished.... Seeing a finished nursery!! Oh and of course our Baby Shower!!
Belly Button: It's popped and stretched.
Stretch Marks: None and I'm lathering the Coco Butter on to hopefully prevent!
Symptoms: backaches, rib pains, swelling, tired

Diapers for Daddy!


Mike was surprised this past Wednesday with "Diapers for Daddy"!!
Friends and family dropped off diapers throughout the day to prepare him for diaper duty! HA!! It was a fun and exciting way to involve the Daddy-to-be.
He was totally shocked and had no clue what was going on!

He will need all of these diapers plus MANY more I'm sure....
It has kind of turned into a week long thing because he has continued to get a few more diaper deliveries the past few days!
It's so funny to see the look on his face each time he receives a package!
He is going to be one good Daddy!

This was the funniest gift of all! He was given this basket along with some diapers... inside the basket is a "Daddy's Tool Belt", loaded with febreeze, tongs, face mask, gloves, hand sanitizer, boogie wipes, baby powder...etc.! HA

Thank you to everyone who dropped diapers off!

28 Weeks!!

Today was our 28 week appointment. It was a big day filled with a glucose test, pre-registering for the hospital and an ultrasound. I had prepared myself for the dreaded orange drink and it honestly wasn't bad at all. I would compare it to a flat orange Slice.
Just hoping I pass so I don't have to sit there for the 3 hour test. Yikes!


Here is Little Miss Emily Ann's profile!
She has the sweetest little face and big puffy lips... all the better to kiss us with! HA
She was very active during the ultrasound... possibly because I had just drank a strong sugar drink but boy was she wiggling. That feeling never gets old.
She is head down which is right where we want her.
She is measuring a week ahead and weights 2 lbs 10 oz right now!

I'm just hoping that sweet little head has some hair on it! HA

Woo Pig Sooie


I love Razorback football!!

Today is the first game of the season and I will be calling the Hogs from home tonight.
We were suppose to go to the game but apparently my husband has lost his mind and gotten his priorities mixed up... he chose dove hunting instead! That's just sad!

GO HOGS!!!
Won't little Miss Emily Ann look so cute in this dress next football season?!

A local business made this one and I can't wait to order one!

Baby Book

I purchased Emily Ann's baby book!
It is SO stinking cute. I had been debating on which one to get.
This is the "The Pink Carriage Memory Baby Book" by Penny Laine.
I am eager to start filling it out.... Just hope I don't forget to take it to the hospital.

I am not only going to record everything in here but I am also making a scrapbook!


This is the family tree inside the book! I love the detail!
I can't believe I am 26 weeks pregnant!! Time is flying...
I will do my pregnancy post tonight. Stay tuned!
