Meet Emily.....in 4D!!!!!

Today was our 4D ultrasound at a place called The Inside Story!! It was so neat. At first Emily did not want to move her hands away from her face but after many exercises and me walking around for a while she decided to let us see what she looks like. She is so cute....chubby cheeks and lots of hair. The technician thinks she looks like her Daddy which makes him very happy!! I think so to!! WOW...I love that little girl and can't wait to meet her. Which actually she said I was measuring a little later then we thought so I may deliver somewhere around the end of July!!! YAY!!!!

Taylor at Camp SkyRanch!!!

This week has been really wierd without Taylor as he has been at camp since Sunday in Dallas at Camp SkyRanch. It is a really awesome camp and I am sure he is having a blast!! Everyday they update their site with pictures of the day and Taylor has actually made a few. It's nice to see his face and know that he is having fun. He comes home Saturday and I can honestly say I can't wait!! I miss him!!! I didn't realize how much I depend on him during the day....he's my helper!!!

My DIY project for Emily's room!!!!

I was at Lowe's the other day and was looking at lighting for the baby's room and came across this chandelier for $74....but it was awful!!! It had the ugliest shades on it with a bright green and off white rose buds and an ugly off white color. But it was only $74 so I thought I could do something with it......here are the before and after pictures. We just hung it in the baby's room last night so I will take a picture of the completed project later an update this post with it!!!

Update on me!! 25 weeks and counting!!

Well, I don't have long!! Three months and Miss Emily will make her debut. I can't wait! While I know she is a precious gift from God and I wouldn't trade this pregnancy for anything in the world it hasn't been easy. Everything is healthy with her and I but I just seem to be so tired all the time and the heart burn is terrible lately. BUT....no nausea so that is good!! 17 weeks of that was enough!!

Her due date is August 6th which is a really neat thing as that is the day that Marc's brother passed away so many years ago. Now, a day of mourning will be replaced with a day of joy (if she decides to come that day!) I know that Brian is so happy about that...actually he is probably laughing so hard at his brother having 4 kids!!!!
The funny thing is the other day Marc said he wouldn't mind having a little girl from China one day....I told him he has lost him mind!!! BUT...we all know that as soon as we think we have it all worked out God sometimes has other plans!! Who knows...while dating we always said we would have 5 kids!!

Belated Easter Pictures......

This was all of us all dressed up before Sunday service. I think we clean up well!!! After church Marc's parents, Daniel and Romey and the kids, my momma and Calvin and the Quakes came over and we had crawfish and all the sides that go with it!! Marc did a great job on the crawfish and the kids loved it!

Most of all thank you Lord for what you did for us and all the blessings you have given my family. We thank You and praise your name always!!!!

Oh, and some of you may be wondering why Marc is wearing his gun and badge to church?? Well, he was asked to along with another officer. It's sad that now you have to have the police at church but we do!!

Changed My Mind.....

Here is the bedding I decided on for Emily's room. Totally different from what I had thought I wanted but I love it!! I have also decided to get the light pink Jenny Lind crib. Here are pictures of both!!!
There will be a few things changed on the bedding like I want it ruffled around the top of the bumpers and I want the sheet to be pink instead of white.

Starting Emily's Room.......

This is the inspiration for her room. Of course it will say Emily and will be black, white and pale pink. It will hang over her bed!

I love these!!!




These are the swatches I like for the bedding.....of course I have no clue which ones I will put together but I definately will be using the black and white for the bumpers with the minky dot on the inside so it's soft for her. I will accent everything with the pale pink!!!
