Busy... but Awesome Week!

Happy Thursday, Friends! :-) I hope you're having a great day. I know I need to get back into my stamping. It has been a super busy week. I had my last class for the semester this morning! SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER! WOOHOO!!! :o)

So, Yesterday was our BIG ULTRASOUND. This baby was NOT wanting us to be pushing around. LOL! After about 20 minutes of pushing (I'm bruised from the pushing on my belly...LOL!) the finally showed us, IT'S A BOY!!! :o) OMG! Such a cool experience & one I will never forget! I started crying during the ultrasound when we we looking at his little hand and he was waving at us. :-) I couldn't help it... it made it so real. It cracked me up because his head is up about 3" above my belly button already! No Wonder I've had strange pains up there. The ultrasound lady said, "He is kicking your bladder so hard!" Well, I always feel him kicking my bladder. No Wonder I always feel like I need to go to the bathroom. LOL! He already weighs 11oz. and the doctor said he looks completely healthy! :) Stephen is ecstatic about having a little boy & was smiling ear to ear!

I guess this little boy decided he would wake up at 2am and kick me like crazy. I was up from 2am-4am this morning feeling him have a party in there. LOL! I normally sleep straight through the night, but not last night...which was okay by me since I'm just so happy to have a healthy baby. Praying it stays that way! :)

After my last test for the semester... I headed on over to Kohls for their 55%-60% off sale on baby clothes. I got some really good deals for cheap. I will buy most of the clothes at yard sales, but I was so excited I just felt the need to buy boy stuff! I LOVE dinosaurs, frogs, and turtles...so I had to get that stuff. Then Stephen played baseball from t-ball through high school & then played for a league in Louisville, KY. So, I bought a few little outfits that were baseball inspired! :-) Well, I guess I'll stop talking on. LOL! Can you tell I'm excited?! LOL! I'll post the video or pics of the baby stuff I got this morning...later today! :)

Have a great day!

Hugs, Ashley

Baby Closet Dividers

.

Happy Sunday, Friends! =) Well, here is about as crafty as I'm getting the past few months. LOL! I've been wanting to make some of these little closet dividers. I really don't want to have to look at the tag every single time I want to grab an outfit for baby. =) Can you tell everything so far is gender neutral... white, yellow, and green. LOL! 9 days and it will be pink or blue! =) Oh, guess what... I put the crib together all by myself yesterday! Stephen was passed out asleep and his allergies have been really bad the past few days. I didn't want to wake him up, but I didn't want to wait any longer either. LOL! I did it without directions (because we didn't have any) and it looks great! =) Who said pregnant moms can't get it all together?! LOL! I'll post some photos below of the crib finished, bedding, and some stuff my mom found for me at a yard sale yesterday! =)

What you need to make the baby closet dividers:

• chipboard
  
• chipboard #'s
  
• ink pen
  
• razor blade
  
• ruler
  
• tombo mono glue
  
• scrapbook paper
  
• ribbon
  
• scissors

I used a ruler and a pair of scissors to make the tag the size I wanted. Then glued the chipboard down onto some scrapbook paper with my Tombo Mono Multi Adhesive. Added some chipboard letters...wrote out "months" with a black ink pen. Then I made a hole to put the ribbon through. Super easy, quick, and fun! =)

Well, I hope you have a great day!

Hugs,
Ashley

Here are the pics of the crib & stuff my mom found for me yesterday! =)

**What it will look like as a toddler bed!**

Boy or Girl?

Howdy Friends! =) So, we have about 10-11 days until we find out if we're expecting a baby boy or baby girl! Can't wait! Well, hopefully our baby works with us and we get the money shot. LOL! So, I posted this video on Youtube and asked the fun question... What Do You Think? Boy or Girl?!

I had some pains this past week and the nurse said it was probably just Round Ligament Pains. Never knew they could be so bad! I'm doing great the past few days... after having a few days on bed rest, but all is fine! =) We are having a nice bonfire tonight... so I guess I better go! Have a great weekend! I promise I'll try to post something craft related soon!

Hugs, Ashley

Spring Photos & 16 week doctors visit

Happy Monday, Friends! I hope you're having a great day! I'm freezing my tail off here in Southern Indiana! LOL!! It was 72 degrees here yesterday! Today... 38 degrees!! No wonder we are all sick! LOL! I just thought I'd share some spring photos with you that I took April 1st & then the fully bloomed photos were taken yesterday (April 5th). We spent the morning and afternoon at the Charlestown State Park yesterday. We decided to get subway and head on over... it's only 2 minutes from our house. Winston LOVES going out there and running like crazy! LOL! =) It was a beautiful day and I can't wait until Tuesday or Wednesday this week when we get that weather back!

So, I had my 16 week doctors appointment last Friday! The baby is doing great!!!! Stephen finally got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time. He/she has a very LOUD & strong heartbeat. The doctor said it is still in the 150's!! I made the doctor guess boy or girl! She thinks it's a girl! LOL! I'm so EXCITED that we get to go back on April 29th for our Big Ultrasound and find out the sex of the baby. That is if baby will work with us that day! LOL!! =) I can't wait!!! I'm counting down the days!! 22 days to go from today! hehehe!!

Well, have a great day!

Hugs,

Ashley
