Preggers Update!

I have now reached 15 weeks in my pregnancy.

At my last appointment I had officially gained only one pound during my first trimester. I have quite a bit to go, but it feels like I'm starting to catch up. Our next appointment is the BIG one. On December 30th, we have our sex-revealing ultrasound. Woop, woop!

Overall, I'm feeling pretty darn good and things seem to be progressing well. 

Now I need to show off my adorable furbabies. We had a mini photo shoot at the house to try and snag a good shot of Mak and Maeby for our family Christmas cards. (They may not be so much of a focus on next year's card. Someone new might be stealing their lime light.) Look how cute they are...

Don't you just love them?

Until next time...

My Closet, Maeby's Room?

I didn't really love the idea of having my closet in our guest room, (I mean, that requires walking...geez) but now I'm pretty pumped about it. It's like having a huge walk-in closet. Not to mention, I'm in love with the paint color and I'm glad I get to visit it on a daily basis.  

Overall, the system is working fairly well. (Although I do need to add some window coverings before the neighbors get to know me a little too well.) I have a closet to myself, a bed to hide shoes under, and a whole dresser dedicated to me. In the future I'd like to add a mirror or two (or three) over the dresser, a cuter light beside the bed, a rug and a fabulous headboard, but it's working for now. Well, all except for the fact that my dog is trying to take it over. This is what I came across the other night when we were heading to bed...

She was not pleased when I made her get down off that new guest bed (Thanks, Mom & Dad!) and come to our bedroom. She moped enough that I started to feel a little guilty. I'm in charge. She's just a dog. I'm in charge...


Here are a few pictures of the guest room as it is currently. I'm pretty much in love with it. I can't wait till the funds are available to start adding to it...she'll be a beauty for sure.

At some point there will be a headboard includedin this picture...a DIY creation by yours truly. 

The beautiful orchid was a house warming gift
from one of my besties, Megan. Love!

The bucket chair my sweet hubby bought me
on Valentines day fills up this lonely corner.

Until next time...
