So, basically November...

Wow it is the end of the month and I am that much closer to having this baby. I am so very ready to pop this one out. This month in November I am no longer really sleeping very well, am usually in pain, have lotsa heartburn, and have had my patience and sanity pushed to my limit with an unamed 2 year old. However, November has also brought family, friends, parties, and my favorite...a finished baby room. Whoopie!!! My family (except for Clayton and Tiaunna) came out for Thanksgiving. I wish we could live by all of our family so we could see eachother more often. We all had a blast and Cache like always loves the attention he gets. Grandpa never even complained about being woken up each morning between 6:30 and 7 to cache staring at him waiting for him to wake up. He always seemed to be the one who cache chose to visit first each morning. My mom and sister in law Annie threw me a baby shower which looked super cute and we had a bunch of fun games that I think everyone really enjoyed. I am so thankful for my family and friends, it really means a lot to me that they have taken the time to support me. I cannot even begin to thank my mom who has done so much for me while here in AZ, she helped me make everything for my baby room, put up with my emotional meltdowns these past few weeks, helped me with cache, and helped throw me a baby shower. I couldn't ask for a better mom. I love this time of the year because you get to constantly be reminded of the things you are thankful for and the people in your life who are so important.


The food at the shower was delicious...lots of yummy treats and crepes made my uncle who is a great baker.

Baby Room

Ok so I have been obsessed with getting the baby room ready...I have this compulsive disorder that does not allow me to accomplish anything else unless I get my project done. With my mom in town things have been rolling along pretty good. We have a few more big projects and then everything else is pretty small and just accessories. I think it is turning out so cute and am happy with the results. I posted a few pics just to prove my progress!

So the silver leafing dresser did not pan out and it was just so much easier to paint the dresser white and add some cute knobs. Originally bought some knobs at Anthropolgie for like $8 a knob then went to hobby lobby and they had the EXACT same knobs on sale for $2 each. Took those puppies back to Anthropologie and saved myself some moola!
Baby Bedding I just finished making...some mistakes here and there (which make me so mad after how long it takes) but all in all it turned out good.

I have curtains to match but they are at the cleaners so when more progress is made I will post more pics.



Halloween 2009

We had so much fun this Halloween. Grandma was here to join us, the night was perfect (like 70 degree weather,) and we went trick or treating with neighbors and cache's cousin Luke. My little Cachey was so cute to watch...he was in heaven running from house to house saying trick or treat and getting candy. I thought after a while he would get tired but we went for over an hour and a half and he was still going strong. We are so lucky to have had such a fun group for him to go with, it made it so much fun. After we got home and Cache went to bed we ate some of our favorite candies, threw most of it away, and left a few more for him to eat. To be honest I was more afraid I would eat all the candy then I am about him eating it. Oh being pregnant around the holiday's is just asking for major weight gain.
