Chief's room

When we found out we were having a boy I had a really hard time deciding what direction I wanted to go with for his room. Girl things I know, boy things... not so much. Since we cant decide on a name for this little guy I started calling him Chief. Then thanks to pinterest and Lay Baby Lay I decided to do a Native American theme. Here was my inspiration.


Heres how it came out! I really wanted to put in the map of the railway but due to cost found this picture of the Grand Canyon at the beloved Ikea. In the last month I have probably been to ikea maybe 10 times. Im really happy with the outcome. I actually made the leather mobile pictured above but have yet to hang it. Or should I say Zach. He is such a good sport. Ive only had to bribe him a few times.


I still have hopes for this wall with the Buffalo tapestry. It needs more but until I can find what Im looking for it will just have to stay like this.


Sometimes I just go in his room and sit. Im so excited for him to come I can hardly stand myself.

For Annie

Blogger is so different!!!  Has it really been that long since Ive posted? Well its about time I posted something! Its Hot. I cant seem to keep my pregnant body cool. Sweat is developing in places it never has before and I cant believe its only going to get hotter. Ive considered packing up and moving to Alaska for the next 6 months. Presley is keeping cool though. Today after walking through Wal Mart trying to get ourselves a blow up pool Presley says, "ugh, mom its too hot. I need to cool off in my pink pool." She picked the pool out herself. It HAD to be pink.

Presley has really loved having her cousin Ellie here. After Dance on Tuesday Ellie usually parties with us for a few hours. Last week we went to the Splash pad with Aunt Mary and this week we hooked up the sprinklers in the front yard and ran around filling up buckets and watering all the plants. Im so happy they get along!

Presley is obsessed with everything Pink, Princess related and sparkles. She refuses to wear "boy clothes" aka shorts, pants, and t-shirts. It has to be a dress or tutu skirt and if its spinning capabilites are not up to par then forget about it.

Heres the bump. Saturday will mark 29 weeks. I wish it was 39 weeks but I keep sending positive thoughts into the universe that he will not be born on his due date July 21 but rather by the 7th. 38 weeks is long enough, right? 

Dr. Beck and I are totally on the same page. Presley was a large baby for 37 weeks so we will see when it comes closer. I am so ready for him to be here. I cant wait to kiss on him and have a little boy in our home. The nursery is almost done as soon as it is pictures will follow. Other than a little Anemia this pregnancy has been quite easy. I didnt die like I did with Presley and my blood pressure is excellent at this point. Hopefully everything stays this way. Im becoming more uncomfortable but I cant really complain.
