Project Mobile

I finally tackled one of the nursery projects on my to-do-list! Violet's mobile is done! Yippeee! I have had this idea in my head for a while. I ordered the metal structure from Urban Outfitters, which is supposed to be a photo holder, but I had this in mind for it. 

I took styrofoam balls of different sizes, wrapped smaller ones in scrap fabric and yarn. For the larger ones I quartered circles of fabric and pinned them into the styrofoam to create a flower like pom-pom. The actual mobile structure had to be taken apart and re-arranged about six times to make sure it hung just right and balanced out correctly. That was a chore! We haven't hung it over her crib yet because we lack the hardware to do so to make sure it is safe to hang. 

I am so happy with the way it turned out, especially since I didn't have to get out and go buy more supplies for it. I took a look at what I had in my craft closet and made it work. Go me! 

Vintage baby

I would love to dress Miss Violet in vintage dresses every now and then. These two from Miskabelly are exactly what I would love to have for her. So sweet 

Cupcakes and Tea

My little, Claire, and her sweet momma threw Violet and I such a lovely baby shower back at the beginning of December. My precious Pi Phi sissies and some of their moms came (some all the way from Tulsa and Texas) to celebrate our little Violet. It was held at Pinkitzel, a cupcake cafe, candy shop, and boutique, in downtown OKC. This place is ahhhmazing! We had our choice of three different delicious cupcakes, vanilla tea, and yummy hot chocolate. Needless to say we were spoiled :)

If you would like to see more pictures of Pinkitzel and the shower head over to my Mom's blog. Yup, she's a pretty cute mom with an insanely creative blog.

Playing Catch Up

Once again I have neglected the belly photos. So, here I am playing catch up. I also have many, many other things to catch up on and document on here. A big one being the super amazing baby shower my sweet friend Claire threw for me. That should be up in a day or so. For now we will keep this somewhat short and sweet.

31 Weeks

 34 Weeks

34 weeks

I am currently 34 weeks and one day. The above 34 week photos were taken after we got home from a friends wedding we attended tonight. I actually felt cute and not so much like a whale, so I let the hubs take a full outfit shot. 

 I have been craving california cuties/clementines (baby oranges) like crazy I have anywhere from 3-5 a day, but I figure its okay because it's fruit and healthy for me...right?  I also need to brag on my sweet husband. Since I am so uncomfortable at night and find it very hard to sleep, he has put a mattress in our bedroom floor and let me sleep alone in our big comfy bed! He's a sweet one :) 

Only 41 days until we meet our little Violet!

Happy Birthday to my Love!

Today is my precious, loving, adorable husband's birthday! I love this boy more than anything and I am so thankful I get to spend another, very special :) , birthday with him. I should probably say it more, but I am so extremely blessed to have such an amazing man as my husband and soon to be father to our sweet daughter. 

Robby and his siblings grew up getting breakfast in bed on their birthdays. So, this morning, in keeping with tradition, I got up early and made him breakfast in bed. Aren't I the best? :) I couldn't help but to take some pictures. Therefore, the poor boy looks a little sleepy but still ridiculously cute!

Happy Birthday my love!

Looking Back

Last night while we were watching tv one of those cheesy jewelry store engagement commercials came on. Robby and I wondered exactly what he had said to me and exactly how I responded, and we remembered we have it all on video! We quickly opened youtube and found our little engagement video to relive it all again. It had been quite a while since either of us had seen it and of course I started crying. It was such a sweet, precious moment in our lives and I'm so incredibly thankful that we have it captured on video. That was a little over 2 years ago when Robby proposed. A lot has happened since that Sunday night in November. We have now been married for a year and a half and as we sat there watching, our baby girl, who will be with us in 2 short months, was wiggling and kicking in my tummy.  It was so fun to look back and see how our little family began. 

Circus Baby Shower

Last weekend was our family/couple baby shower that our parents threw for us. My mom came up with the theme and made all of the decorations, favors, cake topper, etc. We had cotton candy, cupcakes, peanuts, white chocolate popcorn,  and animal crackers all decked out in the cutest containers you will probably ever see. She even chalked the background to the sweets table and the welcome sign at the front door. Yeah, she is kind of good at this stuff. The yummy food, (which was of course your typical circus food... hot dogs, chili, and chips) was provided by my dad and mother-in-law. We had such a wonderful time with our family and friends. Thank you to our amazing parents who put it on for us and to everyone who came over to love on and support us!

Oh! I almost forgot! The last gift that was handed to me to open didn't have a card so I didn't know who it was from, then Robby looked at me and said, "that's from me!" My absolutely precious husband surprised me with the sweetest gift, a pink pearl ring! Ummmm, someone scored lots and lots of points with that one! He's the sweetest! (You can see my beautiful new ring in the picture below where I am holding the cupcake)
