{ our weekend }

This weekend was spent nesting and doing lots of baby stuff. First we decided to go through all the boys clothes {since, yes, I received another shipment of clothes. Its all I can do on rest} and do inventory. We might end up needing a few things here and there, but that will all depend on when they come and their size.

 

Next we decided to put the bases to the car seats in my car and get them nice and locked in. Then practiced putting the seats in and out. Here are a few shots from that project....

 

 

 

every time I see these two car seats together, I get so giddy! Actually everything in twos gets me giddy. We put together our pack and play this week too and it just melts my heart to think of them both sleeping in this.

 

 

 

Then our Solly Baby Wraps arrived and we practiced putting these on. I've researched and researched wraps and through all of my mommas advice, we went with these, and they are amazing. The owner has two great tutorials online and from what I'm told she answers all questions you send in via e-mail.

 

 

 

 

Then we did a lot of laying around as I haven't felt very good, pain and sinus wise. Hubbs did wash both of our cars and while he did that, I decorated the mantel for football season since it starts NEXT WEEKEND! We are a divided house school wise, but our teams never play each other, so we pull for each other's teams too. Which makes for happier Saturdays:)

Our Weekend { 6.14.13 - 6.16.13}

 

 

Our weekend started out a little scary and hectic with a trip to the ER. Everything ended up being fine, thanks goodness. So we spent the rest of the weekend resting and Adam put together a few things we received for the nursery, as I sat there and took pictures.

 

{Saturday}

 

Hubbs was on a work trip and got in Saturday morning around 1 a.m. I had been having little cramps here and there Friday night, but nothing even close to severe, until 5 a.m. I woke up in a lot of pain and fought myself on calling the doctor. My peri doc told me if I experience severe cramping to call my OB and get seen. Well Saturday at 5 a.m. the office isn't open and one of the doctors is on call, so when I called, he had me go to the ER at the Women's Hospital.

We were there for 6 hours. They monitored me for 4 hours to make sure my cramping wasn't contractions, did an ultrasound and checked all fluids. Everything was fine. The nurse and doctor told me I was "still tiny and had very little fluff" therefore I can feel everything, that most people wouldn't. I actually laughed when we got in the car about this comment, because they apparently didn't look at my thighs or my bottom, because they would have found plenty of "fluff" to go around.

 

We got home around noon, and both took naps {especially hubby, poor thing only had 4 hours of sleep and sat in a hard hospital chair for the whole morning} Then we got up went into the nursery and set up the rocker and the cribs we received on Friday! I mainly took pictures and made sure hubs iPad was set up with the US Open playing.

 

We are going with a mix and match theme in the boys room. We didn't want matchy everything, so we decided to do 3 colors of wood, colors that typically don't go together but a room that still felt like a rustic boys room. Next and last we have to do the gallery wall of a few things we ordered over their dresser, and after that a few things here and there { crib skirts, a little shelving, and a little décor}and we will be done!

 

 

 

 

 

{sunday}

 

Sunday was spent laying around {surprise, surprise} and watching the US Open all day. We made a quick trip to Whole Foods and then it was back to the couch and the US Open.

Campbell has gotten pretty good at this resting on the weekend thing. She is the best couch companion.

 

 

hope your weekend was fabulous!

Our Weekend

 

 

We had another busy weekend that ended up taking a toll on me less than halfway through. So the tail end of the weekend I spent on the couch, resting.

 

{friday}

Friday night we went to dinner with a few of my girlfriends and their husbands. We were celebrating one of my friends and her husbands birthday (birthdays are the same day, how fun?) And I got to see little Miss Avery Grace, which always makes my day.

 

 

 

{saturday}

Saturday brother and I drove to Orlando to see family that came into town, including our precious Mammaw!

 

 

{sunday}

Sunday morning we went to register. My, oh my. I thought Adam would be the one to get overwhelmed and grouchy. WRONG! it was me. We were there for 3.5 hours, and by the end of the first hour I sat on the floor of each section and pointed while Adam gunned is way through the store. But we got it done. We ended up making our main registry at Buy Buy Baby and then that night I did an online registry for Babies R Us. I have never been so tired or in so much pain, ever.

Hubbs was amazing! I am so lucky to be married to this man.

 

 

Sunday evening we went over to our friends house for BBQ and to see their new little one, who is so precious!

 

{monday}

We laid on the couch, all day. Except for a run to Whole Foods for grocery shopping. But after being there for 10 minutes, I realized I should have stayed on the couch.

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Yay for a short week!

Weekend Update

 

 

 

I have a love/hate relationship with busy weekends. I love all the things we get to do and accomplish but hate it when I feel like we didn't get to relax once. This weekend was one of those weekends.

 

Friday we attended the Dick Vitale Gala in Sarasota. The gala was for The V Foundation for Cancer Research. I had no idea how many celebrities in the sports world would be there, so it was fun getting to meet all of them and bring awareness to this great foundation. They inducted 3 college coaches into their hall of fame: Bobby Bowden, Jim Calhoun, and Bill Self. Clearly with my hubby being a Seminole, being able to hear Bobby speak again was great!

 

 

 

Saturday I helped my little brother find a new place closer to the hospital where he'll be doing his clinicals for the next two years in med school. It went great and we found him a rad spot! While I did that hubbs stayed home and finished the musical rooms game. Got the new nursery completely cleared out and the guest bed moved into the new guestroom. He is awesome! That night he grilled a flank steak and I made a favorite salad of ours {which I will post the recipe to this week}.

 

 

Sunday I woke up not feeling so hot and super dizzy. So we made breakfast and I laid down for a bit. We then headed to Ikea to get our dresser for the nursery! And then spent three hours putting it together, gotta love Ikea:) But we had fun! Sunday night we went to see the Great Gatsby with another couple. It was fantastic! I had heard there were bad reviews, but I think it was excellent and I will be buying the soundtrack today!!!

 

 

this was the finished project! The walls are NOT staying that color and we just hung the picture there to measure a few things since that will be a gallery wall. {and yes, being the organized freak that I am, I already bought drawer organizers}.

 

Hope y'all had a great weekend!
