A little sewing...

I decided to try and make some cutesie burp clothes for Carter...they are fairly expensive in all the stores that I've seen. They were pretty cheap to make. These were from fabric I bought at wal mart. They don't really have a lot to choose from..but I love the cowboy print. It's flannel so it's a little softer.
I am so NOT the sewing type-I almost threw my machine out the window and this was easy stuff. Guess I won't be sewing anything with a pattern anytime soon!!
I made these for my sister's best friend. The dr. is inducing her on the 14th(which happens to be my sisters birthday!) The girly fabrics are so much cuter.
And last....this is some fabric I bought at Hobby Lobby. I was kind of dissapointed- I couldn't really find much for boys. The paisley is kind of girly so we'll have to see if that passes daddy's inspection :0) Ty seems to think I am buying "too girly" of stuff for Carter. I don't really think so...

HAPPY EASTER!!

Baby Shower and Update

Can you believe it's already time for baby showers?!! I can't! I was 28 weeks(7MONTHS!) on Tuesday. Only 12 more weeks to go! These are some pictures from my shower at school on Monday.
This is not a particularly great picture of me-my eyes are closed- but I wanted to show off my bump. He's getting bigger by the day!


I got some super cute clothes!

And sweet cards! I also got a book that's absolutely precious. It's called On the night you were born by Nancy Tillman. If you are having a baby or just had one-or even if you have children at all---you should definitely check it out. It made me a little teary eyed when I read it. :0) Guess that's just part of becoming a mommy!

**Update on the pregnancy
I know, I know...I haven't been the best blogger lately. It seems like the closer the end of school gets- the busier I get.
I went Tuesday for my 7 month check up and the dreaded glucose test. Dr. said everything looks good- and I feel TERRIFIC! I haven't entered the exhaustion phase just yet- hopefully I wont. My only complaint is that my feet are killing me by 4:00 everyday. They are not swollen so that's a plus. However- the dr called today and my sugar levels were way too high from my Tues. appt. So I have to go back next week for a 3 hour test. Ugh! They poke you FOUR times! I guess I'll have to get over my fear of needles before June 23rd! Well that's it for me now.....

Hope everyone is doing great!! Just think...only 9 more weeks of school!

Spring Break and Fredericksburg

Our spring break was the 16th-20th...so I'm a little late.
This is the bed and breakfast we stayed at in Fredericksburg. It was called Angels above the creek lodge. http://angelsabovethecreek.com It was super nice and quiet. We had fun shopping and just hanging out. It was nice to not be on a schedule and just relax.

This was the outdoor patio. Thank goodness we had such great weather!



This was our room...it was called the Faith Suite. I wish it had a pic of the bathtub. It was huge!

Things I love that begin with S!

Swimming...not professional-just for fun!

Summer!!! Just a few more months until warm weather :o)

SOUP....Just about any kind.

Soap Opera...Days of our lives. My Memie got me hooked on this a LONG time ago.

Snickers Ice cream...MMM!

Singing- in the shower or car ONLY!

Shopping....for anything but clothes!

And last but not least..........SATURDAY and SUNDAY!

Thanks Lace! That was fun....I can't believe how many things I came up with! I could have went on forever I think.

Not just blue....

This the bedding we picked out for Carter....I just love saying his name :o)
I love it because it's not just blue/green or green/brown. It has lots of different colors. I LOVE the red/white striped rug on the floor in the picture. The rug is not for sale on the website but maybe I can find something similar.
I found it on www.rainbee.com. The price isn't bad either...it's $160 for quilt, bumper, skirt, and sheet. Plus FREE shipping!

Well it's....................

We went to the doctor yesterday for our early gender ultrasound. I begged the dr to let us come a few weeks early....I was 17 weeks yesterday. And it's a BOY!!! We are just thrilled. We both knew it was going to be a boy. Just about everyone thought the same thing. My mom and sister both thought I was having a girl.....I think they just really wanted a girl. But they are just excited about it being a boy.
I was amazed at how much he has grown since my last sonogram at 8 weeks! It's truly a miracle.
For names we were stuck between Mason Lee and Carter Jay. We decided last night his name will be Carter Jay :o)...that was my favorite! Jay is Ty's middle name and his grandpa's as well. We can't wait to meet our little angel!!

I go back in 3 weeks for my big 20 week ultra sound. That's when they'll check all the organs and make sure everything looks good. I'll have some good pics to post then. Stay tuned!!

Birthday and New Year's

Today is my sweet hubby's 29th birthday! I can't believe it..... he was 23 when we met. It has been the best 6 years together!

By the way, I made a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing(his fave) and put the number 29 using candles. I was going to post a pic but it is just AWFUL!!! It tastes good :0) but looks terrible. I just couldn't post it....especially since Michelle and Sara make such gorgeous cakes. ....just use your imagination.

Happy Birthday Ty!! Love you!


Happy New Year to all!!!
