Happy Birthday!!

Wishing my wonderful husband a very happy birthday! I made a great catch! ;o)

This morning I got up and made him breakfast and let him open his presents. He recently got his pilots license so I bought him a new flight bag with his initials engraved on the flap, a Mountain Flying DVD (what he wants to do..so not sure how I feel about that one!) and a couple nice dress shirts/ties as he needed them. But, the best of all was my funny card. He thought it was pretty good...and true (but I don't believe him!) LOL! For all the wives here is what it said (without the funny graphics):

"To My Husband...
I've stolen covers till you froze...
Changed my hair, my shoes, my clothes..
I've lost it when I'm PMS-ing...
May have nagged when I'm obsessing....
I've run up hefty shopping bills...And criticized your driving skills...
So I think it's time to say to you...
Hey. I'm your wife - that's what I do! Happy Birthday!"

I thought I would set the record straight so he knows all this is normal, especially when you are experiencing pregnancy hormones! LOL

Anyway, Chris truly is my rock. I love him more and more each and every day and look forward to our journey ahead. We have really grown together over the last 7+ years and I can't imagine my life without him sharing each and every moment with me. Happy birthday babe and thank you for always being my protector, showering me with your love and even putting up with me when I know it's not easy. Love you and I am so excited to welcome our first baby in just 18 more weeks!

Any advice?

Laying here sick all week my only escape has been to quietly obsess over the nursery and must have items for the little boy on the way! I am so eager to get started and this darn cold has set me back a few paces. Anyway, my obsession this week….finding the perfect Diaper Bag! Do I go the handbag route or get a true diaper bag? Decisions, decisions…Have any advice to share? What has worked best for you moms out there? Anyone else seen any great diaper bags or have opinions on the ones below?


A few of my favorites so far....

The handbag (must admit I LOVE the name):
Kate Spade “St. Henry” Diaper Bag

The real diaper bag look:

Carrie & Randy Thomason's Wedding Weekend

Here are some of my favorites from the weekend in Laguna Beach.

My morning on the beach, reading my book while everyone else was hungover in bed, enjoying my toes in the sand...pure bliss!

Beautiful bride -

Friends...

Me and baby...this dress makes me look really pregnant!

Morning after with the bride and groom before they set off for Greece & Italy!

Really no meds???

So I had a wonderful weekend down in Laguna Beach for Carrie's Wedding but now I am stuck with a killer cold! I have decided flying while pregnant is not a good idea....recycled air always gets me and not being able to take medicine really sucks! My fever has finally gone away but my head is still about to explode..will spare you the details. Needless to say I am under the weather, stuck at home and getting really bored. I would much rather be at work right now than adding to my collection of kleenex. Ugh!

Anyway, I am working on uploading some pics from the wedding to share. The bride was gorgeous, the weather was phenomenal and the groom is an incredible man. Such a perfect day and I am so happy for them.

Pics coming soon....

Happy Birthday Nana!

On another note, I am now on my way to Orange County to join the celebration for Carrie Huzar's Wedding! Here is a pic of my mom, Carrie and I at our wedding. Huzar and I have known eachother since we were 12 years old....crazy how grown up we are now!

Bathroom Remodel Complete!

Our bathroom is finally done and looks fantastic! These pics just really does not do it justice but here are some before, during and after shots. I am so thrilled with the results and can't wait to get it all set up! This is going to be our little guys bathroom when he gets bigger....so glad to have it all cleaned up before he arrives!

Before Shots (I hated this bathroom before!):

Good Daddy Moment

So I was showing Chris some of the clothes I bought our little guy and he looked at a pair of these really cute NIKE sweatpants I got and said, "Babe it's going to be in the winter isn't he going to be cold in shorts?" I just looked at him and started laughing. He then realized the little "shorts" he was looking at were actually pants. Guess he doesn't realize just how small he will be. Too cute!
