No CommentsThankful
What an amazing week. We were busy every single night. Gotta squeeze things in while we can, right? On Monday, we had coffee and caught up with friends, and Tuesday night we went to another Financial Peace University class to make up for missing Sunday night. Wednesday, Chris’s parents came up to Nashville with Ria...

No CommentsOh, Brother
Chris and I spent the weekend in Huntsville, Alabama, with his family. It amazes me how quickly Ria is growing every time I see her! She started kindergarten a week and a half ago, and her English is coming along really well. Next big challenge: out-smarting those big brothers of...

2 CommentsCloth Diapering
The rest of our cloth diapers for Mackenzie should arrive from Cotton Babies later today. This order has small BumGenius AIOs, newborn Bummis Super Whisper Wraps, and pre-folds. I never thought I’d be excited about diapers, but I honestly can’t wait to see the covers! A big part of my attempt to be both a...

1 CommentA Pretty Pink Room
We’ve been busy this week making some major headway setting up Mackenzie’s nursery. I love how it is turning out so far! On Tuesday night, I put together the dresser we bought for her at IKEA. We’re going to build a guard to fit around the top to hold the changing pad. On Wednesday night...

1 CommentSeven
Today Chris and I are celebrating our seventh wedding anniversary. It’s hard to believe it’s actually been seven years! It’s even harder to believe we’ve known each other for ten years. Time really does fly by. Seven years from now, we’ll have a six year old, and by the time we hit our twenty-fifth anniversary,...

4 CommentsNursery Update
I finally finished Mackenzie’s crib bedding last night. I sewed a simple fitted sheet for the crib out of the fabric that we used on her blanket. I was planning to sew a bedskirt, but I think it looks good without one. Who knows — I’ll probably change my mind. This afternoon I will probably...

2 Comments80 Days
Just 80 days left. 80 days to finish setting up the nursery. 80 days to plan and attend baby showers in two different states. 80 days to wrap my mind around how our world is going to change when our family of two becomes a family of three. Plus two dogs. When I read the...

No Comments23 Weeks
Yesterday afternoon Chris and I had our 23-week checkup. Mackenzie’s heartbeat is strong at 152 bpm. I can feel her moving all throughout the day now. Her kicks get stronger and stronger, and Chris has been able to feel her several times, too. It’s wonderful. After the appointment, we went to Textile Fabrics and Meridian’s...

4 CommentsNursery Inspiration
Today Chris and I turned in our intent to vacate our apartment on July 18. Sixty days from now, we will be in a house… somewhere. I spent a couple of hours house-hunting online today and finally found a few options that I think might work. When we move into a house, we’ll start buying...

No CommentsPictures: Commissioning + Graduation
It’s hard to believe I actually graduated last weekend. I have more free time in the evenings now than I know what to do with – although I know that will be short lived! Our trip went by so fast. We made it through a long layover in Newark, lots of early mornings, three separate...
