Baby's room progress

Now to add some wall decor...


Me at 6 Months

Halloween!

On Halloween we went to the Froerer's as trailor white trash (I know get what's not new lol). Steve just wanted to have a mullet real bad (you can't really tell though). I decided I'd go as his "pregnant girlfirend." However when I was dressed up like that holding my fake ciggarette and looking at my belly it made me feel sad cause that stuff does happen. Anyway it was a lot of fun.

Baby Room Ideas and Me 5 Months!

Me at 5 months and way excited to finally start the room! I think I'm going for a purple look since purple is my favorite color.



I bought this crib bedding set on ebay. I loved it forver and if my baby was still a girl and I still wanted it Steve said to go ahead and get it. So I did. It's Kidsline Mullburry and I LOVE it!!!



I thought a butterfly mobile would be a cute idea that I could make myself (for some reason the domestic part of me feels that I should make something). Here's some pics for that.






Here are some other things I thought of that could work. Like this dresser from Ikea or shelves filled with purple totes. I could paint the wood any color too. And not to mention it's not too exspensive.

Flaming Gorge

Here we are in Flaming Gorge for the first time. We went with some new friends, that Steve met Brian from work, the Krane family. Also his wife Tasha and their two cute adorable babies Korbyn and Gage. They invited us for Labor Day weekend. It was a fun get away and it was so pretty there. Here some pics of us floating down the river. It rained pretty hard and we had to take refuge under a rock for over an hour! But we had a lot of fun. (And again I say every vacation we go on somehow fishing is involved).

Help from you experienced moms!

I like to be prepared whenever I do anything.

Right now I feel stuck in limbo because I want to have everything ready before I have the baby, except I don't know what I need. I want to start early looking for good deals and shop around (not to mention try to be frugel and save some money). I go to the stores only to leave empty handed and overwhelmed because there's so much. I know there will be showers and stuff, but like I said I like to be on top of things.

So here's some questions that I have...

1. What are some things you've got that you can't live without, or wish you've gotten?
2. What are some things you've gotten that wasn't necessessary?
3. What things that you suggest getting new and/or investing in? Or what things that would be okay used and/or getting the cheap kind?
4. I'm starting to buy diapers. Which brand? Where? How much should I buy?
5. And anything else that's helped you.

Thanks a lot. I hope to hear from ya soon!

Long Time Friends!

Jan Austin and Jodi Hansen Sparks has been by friends for a real long time. We went to Chili's for lunch for a get together. It may be a while before we can get together again. Jan is going away to dental hygiene school. Jodi is moving to Boston. I'm staying here starting a family. It's crazy where life takes you. We had a lot of fun reminiscing on our past and excited for our future. We had a great time and we will try to keep in touch. I could never ask for better friends.
