We love it! Thanks you guys for thinking of us! (Aaron yes I know you will read this posting since I force you to read them via email. It would be nice if you commented once and a while dear brother :)

Project Baby Room: Color Choice

Project Baby Room! We only have a few more months to get this room ready!!
Step 1: Figuring out the color theme. I have heard that you should first pick out your baby bedding before you pick out your paint colors. It is easier to match paint to bedding, then bedding to paint. We decided to go with the following bedding from Target. I love the combination of blues, greens, and browns.

2. Which colors do we want to bring out by painting the room? I am thinking that I really like thie lightest blue color on the polka dot. I am debating between the following colors:

My New Favorite Bakery....

So, I found my new favorite Spokane bakery/coffee shop. It just opened this month and is just a block away from where I work. So far I have only tried their cupcakes, but every flavor has been WONDERFUL!!! The inside decor is sooo cute, and I am sure this place is going to thrive! These pictures are going to make you hungry!!!

 

Anyway, you just have to try this place out! It is located at 15 South Washington (Corner of Washington and 1st Street in downtown Spokane)

Shoes Off Please!

Not the best picture, I admit, but I wanted to show you my "shoes off" sign that I made for my front door a few weeks ago. Since we have white carpet in our house, we decided all shoes better come off! Once fall is over I will make a winter one, but for now I am enjoying the colors of autumn.

Have a good day!

Our little boy :)

So I have not blogged much about my baby as I do still get nervous something could go wrong or something could happen to my little one. But I realize, the more I live in fear of that, the less I will enjoy this time in my life. So, I have decided to share my recent ultrasound pictures with you!

Our little boy's profile :)

A darling little hand! I can't wait to hold it!

I finally got a bump!!!

WE are SOOOO excited to meet our little boy!

My Alphabet Search!

Good Morning!

I need your help folks! I am trying to collect all 26 letters of the alphabet and I will tell you why. I found this great nursary idea online a while back and I absolutely love it!

So, I am on the search for letters. Once I find all of my letters I will paint them the same color to match the bedding and decor of the room.

The letters I have are crossed out in green:

I found 3 letters a few days back at Northwest Christian Thrift for 25 cents each.. V, A & Y (They lady actually gave them to me for free because I only had my debit card) .

Then, this weekend my friend and co-worker Mollie found 3 more letters for me at the Goodwill, and the clerk also gave them to her for free!! They were the letters G, E, & N.

I am going to spend the next months looking for letters. If I am a few short near the end, I can always buy the wooden ones at the craft stores and paint them, but for now I want to see how many I can find at thrift stores ect. It will be like a treasure hunt!

Here is where I need your help! If you happen to see some letters (any shape, any size, any color I don't care) can you pick them up for me? No more then 3 bucks each please, if possible. I will totally pay you back! I will update you as I find letters so we can all be on the same page.

Thanks!!
Amy
