Half Way There....

We are about half way there! I will be 19 weeks this Friday. It is hard to believe that I am almost 5 months pregnant! I had Dustin take a picture of me, and I am so disgusted by how I look I decided not to post it. This weekend we had absolutely nothing to do. Unusual for us since we are always on the go, or have some event we need to attend. It was nice to relax, but we both got really antsy. Since our weekends are quickly filling up till the end of October we decided to work on Kaylee's room.

Dustin went and got all the supplies to hang the TV on the wall, across from where my glider will be. It is so nice to be married to an electrician/handyman who knows how to do all kinds of stuff! He had to move the cable plug and electrical outlet in the attic, and it took him no time at all to do it.


While he was working on the TV I worked on the cork board I got at Hobby Lobby. I thought it would be a cute idea to have it match the letters and bedding. This way we can always update pictures with out having to buy or change out frames. I know a cork board may be so 1993, but I think it turned out cute! We also added the ribbon to the back of the letters to hang above the crib. We took the same ribbon and wrapped it around the border of the cork board I painted pink. I want to get something else to go next to the letters, but I am just not sure what yet. I think both of these little "do it ourselves" projects cost us under 20 bucks! Please give me your opinions or your thoughts of both of these. I mean I may think they are cute, but I don't want other people coming in thinking it looks awful.



Here are a couple other pictures of the room. Notice the closet already has a ton of clothes! Between Dustin and I, my Mom, and Dustin's Mom this child will never go with out something to wear. Thanks to my job too that gives me all kinds of cool stuff like Boon! Also, ignore all the stuff inside the crib. I have not found a place to put all the stuff yet.



I forgot to post a picture of our flower bed that we finally added in the backyard last weekend to hide the ugly utility boxes. Notice "wheres Waldo" in the pictures. He is a very special dog.
