BIG CHECK!!!! :)

35 weeks here we come! We are ready...

And we are HAPPY!

My Kiddos Rooms...and a little change for me

Yeah I'm 34 weeks and our boy's room is feeling complete! I didn't have anything but the crib up in Audrie's room when she came so I am really excited! There are still some pieces missing to make it finished...I am going to hang a picture of Grant wake boarding on a wall and a large first letter of his name on another wall. Audrie is a big helper when we work on baby brother's room. She has her own hammer (thanx Grandma Brown!) and copies all that we do. I told her we needed to take pictures of baby brother's room and then we would take pictures of her big girl room...I never did show her big girl bed transition. So without rambling any more...here are my kiddos rooms :)

*I'm getting lazy with uploading pictures one by one...so click on them and it will load the collage larger. *

Baby Boy's Room

It's a mountain theme...camo, a tent canopy, bears, trees, pine cones, and stars. Grant wake boarding on Donnelly Lake will look great on a wall for his son to get some early inspiration. :) And Grandpa Brown is working on his 1st antler lamp for this boy. I just love the way it turned out!

Audrie's Room

It was just pink and brown as a nursery, but we found this bedding with green and teal and love adding more color! I found the 3 little lanterns at Pier 1 and they light up so we use them as nightlights. The dresser I had in my room at home and I sanded it down, painted it pink and brown, and now it holds all her little keepsakes and books. She loves her big bed and redecorating all the stickers on the wall. :) They used to be a border, but she likes to rearrange them and that's alright with me.

Now for a little my space...
I had to get our LARGE mirrors that covered two walls in our bathroom switched to something more elegant and not so LARGE (especially as I have changed haha). I found these framed mirrors at Graples and love the way they dress up our vanities. Thanx for all your help Dave & Kathleen! These mirrors are heavy and it wasn't an easy switch-a-roo!

I also hung 3 memo/picture boards (from Kohl's ladies) that are wonderful for hanging your jewelry. I used one for Audrie's hair bows too in another bathroom. Just working on getting rid of cluttery spaces. Am I nesting or what?!?!

Watching the flowers grow

I took pictures of Audrie in front of some daisies we planted from Grandma Turley's yard last year and thought it would be fun to take them again a year later. We can see how the daisies grow and how Audrie grows :) She has grown up so much and way too fast!

Getting ready for baby brother!

We have reached 33 weeks and are getting ready for this little guy! The nursery is almost done...just need to get a few things on the walls. So pictures will be coming soon. I had sooo much fun getting his room ready. Let's just say it's inspired by Grandpa Brown :)

I had an appointment last week and we are shooting to make it 4 more weeks. Keeping thoughts positive and laying low as much as possible! I am feeling really good! He is in a comfortable spot and very busy! I feel him moving more than not...love the elbow and the rolls!

We went to the mall the other night and Grant decided that Audrie needed to make baby brother his very own bear at Build-a-Bear :) She is so attached to her bear and it was special for her to make one for her brother. We even made a wish together and placed it inside. She loved holding him and then putting him in his bed to wait for him to come cuddle.
