Nursery Project #2

I just finished my second project for the baby's room! It is a changing pad that we will put on top of the dresser (if it ever gets here). This project was pretty challenging, but I'm happy with the outcome. I really didn't want one of the store-bought changing pads that everyone else had. I found the directions for this one in a book that Blake got me for my birthday and I loved it! The three side bolsters as well as the orange pad in the middle are removable. This makes washing everything extremely easy. It also has a neat pocket to store diapers, ointment, wipes, etc.

Rain or Shine

This morning Blake and I took Toby and Mayzie to the Bark for the Cure. Blake was a little unsure about going because of the weather, but I was stubborn and insisted on going. It was really fun even though it sprinkled a little. We were able to show our support for Susan G. Komen and show off our fur children all in one morning! Plus, we got a lot of free goodies for the pups.

Baby Shower!

I cannot even begin to express how incredibly blessed I feel right now! Sabrina, my best friend, threw a baby shower for me on Saturday. We received so many great gifts and tons of stuff that we will need when the baby gets here. Blake and I have an incredible group of friends that have supported us and been excited for us since we found out we were having a baby. Thank you so much for making this day so special! I can't wait for Caden to meet you all!

Babymoon!

If you have never heard of a Babymoon it is basically just an excuse for a mommy-to-be to get her husband to take her somewhere before the baby arrives. Blake and I just got back from ours and it was a very relaxing weekend! We know that our time alone together is about to be very limited so this was our chance to get away and spend quality time together.






We stayed in Clearwater, FL near the Tampa area. The first day we went to the Tampa zoo. It was a very nice zoo with a lot of animal interactions. The videos are of us feeding a giraffe. We were amazed at how big they are!


We spent the rest of the first day at our hotel's beach and pool.


The second day we headed to Caladesi Island State Park. We had to take a ferry to the island because it is still completely natural. We walked down a nature trail and spent the rest of the day at the beach. The water was a little chilly at first, but we got used to it after a few minutes.


The last day we went to Fort DeSoto Beach where we had our pictures taken by a photographer that we found on the internet. She was extremely nice and we didn't have to pay anything for the session! I will post the pictures as soon as we get them!
