Here are a few photos of what we've done to Drake's nursery so far. Luke and I have worked so hard on the furniture. The dresser (changing table) was Luke's dresser growing up. We just painted it black and put new handles on it. I found the crib a few weeks ago at Rhea Lana's. It was such a good deal I could not pass it up. We had to sand it down and paint it black too. We are going to paint and recover the glider as well. Also, Luke made a bookcase yesterday for baby Drake. It looks so good! We are having a great time working on these projects together. We are so excited about getting our little man's room ready for his arrival.
I am going to finish this post with a THANK YOU to AMBER BOHANNAN! She has given me so many little things lately for me and Drake. Last week she gave me two onsies, a pregnancy shirt (it says, "Body by Baby") , a razorback shirt, and a razorback hat. PRECIOUS! Then...Sunday she gave me some socks that are TOO CUTE!! I can't hardly stand it they're so cute! Here is a picture of them. Thanks Amber! You are such a wonderful friend to me!

18 weeks

6 days until we find out the sex of our baby!!!!

Some of my friends (and fellow bloggers) have informed me that they, "just like to look at my pictures!" So, I guess I'll just start posting pictures on here and not talk. Haha! You know who you are! This picture was taken last Friday (1 day before I turned 18 weeks).

Vera's Baby Shower

This past weekend I helped host a shower with my friend Jonica. The shower was for Vera White. I met her while I worked at Dillard's. She is a fellow graphic designer. She is 35 weeks pregnant now! I can't wait to meet Trent Michael!! Here are a few pictures from the shower.

This is me and Vera.

These are all the Dillard's girls.

FOR SALE & BABY STUFF

This weekend Luke and I did quite a bit of moving furniture around and preparing space for the baby. We cleared out everything in the office. So now, we have a few things that we would like to get rid of. First is an entertainment center. Our TV is too big for the top to fit over it...so we have only been using the bottom part. We got it at Cajun Brothers in Conway. It's a very nice piece. It's about a year old and is in excellent condition. I am thinking $200.

The next item for sale is a desk. This is an older desk. It's pretty big and sturdy. In the photo, Luke has it laying on it's side to take the legs off so he can get it out of the room. This can go for $30.The 3rd and last item for sale is a jewelry box. It is one of those large standing ones. It has a place for just about any piece of jewelry you own. $20 will make this yours!

Ok...enough with that. Now to the fun stuff.

This weekend Luke and I started getting the baby's room cleaned out and ready to decorate. We went to Lowe's and got a closet organizer kit. Here is the baby's closet!! We also got a few baby things just so we would have something in the closet.

I am 17 weeks pregnant now! Here is how I look now. I feel like it's really started to bumb out! What do yall thing??? haha

Valentine's Day!

This year for Valentine's Luke and I had this bright idea to go eat on Friday night so we wouldn't have to fight the Saturday night crowd. Well, we were wrong! I think everybody else had the same idea. Everywhere we went had a really long wait time. So, we went over to one of our favorite spots, Chili's, and ate. It was delicious! Luke got me a WoodWick candle and a very sweet card....I just got him a card. :-)

On Saturday morning we got up and headed to Petit Jean State Park to spend the day. We had a blast! We hadn't been there since we had just started dating. We could not have asked for more perfect weather. Here are some pictures of our hike.

"For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight." Hebrews 4:12-13a

My Belly
