Look who's here

Bryson Alexander made his grand entrance to the world on July 8th at 7:17am. He weighed in at 7.7 and was 19 inches tall. We are home and resting. :)

Changes...

July is here, yay. It's now 10 days before my due date and I can't wait. It's very hot and humid here and in therefore, I can't breathe most of the time. Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good. I've been having a few small contractions, but nothing serious.


Sunday we celebrated the 4th with my farther in law. All the kiddos were there, which rarely happens. I wasn't feeling the greatest so guess what no pictures. However, someone managed to take this awful photo of me watching the kids play in the grass. Blake had a blast playing with all the kids, especially Brennon. Those two play so well together.


On my way to catch up on some blogs and look for a few challenges to get involved in. I feel so not inspired lately. Off to see the pretties.....

baby shower

Hello everyone

It's 4 am, and I'm so awake. My sleep schedule is so messed up right now. Josh lets me sleep whenever I need to so, I don't see it getting any better until this little one gets here. I'm so exhausted and out of breathe lately. Tomorrow I will officially be 38 weeks along. Ohh! Our baby shower was this past Saturday. We had a good time, and left with most of the necessities for Bryson.

I especially loved this one. It was a big surprise.
We really wanted this crib set, I just love it.
It looks so much better on the dark wood too.
His bed looks so adorable with it, and big brother
said "I like it, I like it."

And of course a photo of the soon to be big brother Blake.
He seems excited about little brother,
but I'm not sure he fully understands.
Isn't he cute here in his rocker outfit.
He choose the hat himself.

We have a ton of last minute baby items to purchase and errands to run today. No sleeping in for me. I have my 38 week check up right before noon, and I'm anxious to see what they think. Last week I was dilated to a 2 and I've been having small contractions all week. Getting nervous!!! Bryson Alexander will be here shortly.

we broke it

I know this is not for everyone, but I like to have the baby in my room for the first year. In his crib of course, which has already arrived. I'm not comfy with a baby in the bed. No way. So to make room for the crib we had to rearrange our room to a less designed feel. We moved the side table, dresser and chest and then proceed to move the bed. We spin it around and almost have it in place, when you hear a crack............ the side where the rails insert into the headboard literally rips right off the headboard. WHAT! oh my! This sets only about 7 years old. I would expect bedroom furniture to last more than 7 years. I guess not. That means now we are on the search for a new bed for us also. We're not rushing by no means, as we don't really want to buy anything until we get the house in 2-3 more years. In the mean time we are looking. We really don't know what kind color or style we want this time.

Is it crazy thinking a bed should last alot longer than this? Maybe it has something to do with being in the military and moving so often. It was moved 5 times in those 7 years so maybe the setting it up and taking it back down took its toll. I don't know. How long have you had your bed set?

I'll leave you with 2 sets were are thinking about. I like them both for different reasons. The only requirements are tall headboard must be over 50 inches tall, and must have a footboard. I have a crazy fear of someone under the bed and grabbing my feet without one. If you see anything out there send me the link.

OMG 35 weeks.

well on Sunday I will be 35 weeks. WOW time passes so much faster as we get older. My last check up went good. His heartbeat was still strong but he was measuring at 33.5 weeks instead of 34. She didn't seem to concerned, just said that he would probably be smaller than first predicted. I'm not complaining, they were saying he would be around 9-10 pounds since Blake was 7.11 at birth.

Picking a crib has been a tough decision, but we finally settled on this one. I like it, best part it converts to full size bed with both a head and footboard. Now I just hope it gets delivered on time since I waited so long.


I'm still looking for a coming home from the hospital outfit so if you see anything cute let me know.


I've been scrapping quite a bit during my time off. I've made 3 layouts this week. yay.













Alright getting off here and in the shower. I have a full day tomorrow, and I need sleep.
Hugs Cathy
