Obsession....coral-y pink nail polish

I should say THE PERFECT coral-y pink nail polish. It's the perfect shade of watermelon-y goodness and I love it.

She is just too adorable for words.

A word of warning...

Don't leave gummy bears in your car on a summer afternoon in Texas.

It's hot here.

The best day!

Last Thursday I was scheduled to have my 16 week appointment with my OB, I didn't think I was scheduled for a sonogram since they told me last time that they don't check for gender until 20 weeks. Torture! Jared has been with me to all of my appointments since finding out but he couldn't make this one because of some work meetings, so I called my mom and asked if she wanted to come up, celebrate her birthday here, and go to my doctor's appointment with me! And she said yes! She suggested that I call the doctor and ask if I could have one since I haven't seen the little bean since my 6 week appointment, and they said yes too!!

I've heard that sometimes they can tell at 16 weeks if the baby is in the right position so we just crossed our fingers and hoped! Jared was dying of course, I didn't want to find out without him, so I asked the ultrasound lady if I could close my eyes when she looked and if she could tell she would put it in an envelope that we could open later. It was so surreal during the ultrasound to see all the little features, it looks like a human now! It was so, so awesome. And it was really fun to have my mom with me getting to see it all too.

He was moving around like crazy too! My aunt, Deanna, is due in August and when she went in for her ultrasound the doctor said to eat a candy bar beforehand so the baby would be moving around (from the sugar). That makes it where you can see everything and get a good view. And it works! He was sucking his little mouth and moving his arms and legs, I'll put the ultrasound pictures up when I scan them. It was so amazing!!

So when Jared called and I told him I had an envelope he raced to meet us at home and open it! I'm pretty sure he could have been an extra in Braveheart with the scream he let out when we read it's a boy! It was so awesome!!


I look like I'm about to bite him. Scary.







Then we went out to lunch with my mom and Kellye to celebrate the fun news! I love these, they crack me up.

It's a........

Boy!!!!!!!

Don't we all wish...

...that we were this pretty? More of the gorgeous Miss Rachel. What kills me is during our session she asked "Is my hair okay? I just let it dry and didn't do anything to it." How amazing would it be to have hair like this without doing anything! Love her.

Almost 4 months

Where are you bean?

There you are!!!



It's a little baby bump! (I don't know why I look mad in this picture, I think it just felt weird standing in that pose for the first time. Or maybe it was that I was about to go to the gym and cripple myself, I dread legs day)

It is so crazy that there is a little person in there! In a couple days it will be officially 4 months so it's all about to get really real! We don't get to find out the sex until early July and we are both dying to know, I can't start shopping until I know! Everything has been going really smoothly though - the morning sickness is long gone, I am no longer on a potato-only diet, my bedtime is back to normal (or close to it), I can go to the gym again, and I don't feel like I want to die anymore!! Hooray!!

My skin is still going a little crazy, I guess it's not liking all the hormones. But other than that things are pretty great! As far as clothes go my pants are getting a little snug these days. Everything except a few things still fit fine but they're just not as comfortable, you know? I'm in that weird in between phase of "fat or pregnant?" That's what I feel like people ask themselves when they see me, and how it totally feels with a little bump. But I guess soon enough it will be a big bump and people can guess for themselves!

It has been really fun though, we went to Tyler for the Memorial Day weekend and had such a blast. My mom is crocheting it up already and has so many cute hats and little things made, all in pink and blue just to be safe! It's so cute, love you mom! The girls got to relax while the boys worked on a fun project that turned into a three day ordeal - putting a basketball goal on the tennis court. Sounds easy enough until they found out they needed almost 1,000 lbs of concrete, sledge hammers, and some serious skills. But at the end of the weekend they were shooting hoops with some sweet farmer tans.

Speaking of SPF this is me the same day as the pictures above - I thought it would be fun to go to the pool.....at noon....for two hours.....and put baby oil on with reckless abandon. Let this be a warning to us all.

Anthropologie.....I love you

If I could only shop from one store for the rest of my life it would definitely be Anthropologie (J.Crew would be a close second). I would love to get stuck in there after hours Home Alone style and just pretend that I live there.

I always stalk their website and torture myself but lately it has been particularly torturous because there are so many lovlies that call my name.

Totally bump friendly.




So dreamy.
