Frogs, Snails, and Puppy Dog Tails

I wholeheartedly admit that I have been T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E. about posting in the past few months (proof of that is clearly displayed as my last post - before last night - was back in December). Well, let me tell you that A LOT has happened between then and now, and I will attempt to slowly update my blog with things that have occured iduring the time lapse. 

 

The most important news from the past few months, however, is that on February 24th we found out that we are expecting a baby boy (as you can see from the ultrasound pictures above)! Kevin and I could not be more thrilled!!! We cannot wait for our little man to be here in just 3.5 short months. Wow, time is surely flying by!!!

 

As soon we found out his gender, I started shopping and nesting like crazy! Now we are just waiting for the stuff that I've ordered to come in. I already have the crib bedding and artwork for the nursery, and I know the color I'm going to paint it. That's at least a step in the right direction... Now if we can just find some time to paint the walls and then put all those pieces together...it'll be complete :-) Sounds simple, right??? Well, our little nest is crazy right now because not only has this mama bird been concentrated on the nursery, but I've also been trying to finish the kitchen and dining room as well - posts & pictures to come!!! My poor hubby has been worked to the bone lately, but he hasn't complained a bit!!! 

 

In all of the fuss of getting our home in order for our little man's arrival, we still do not have a name picked out! We have a few ideas, but have not felt very inspired in the naming department yet :-/ Maybe this weekend we can figure out what his name is as we drive to Auburn for an Easter with family! Last night as I was laying in bed, I realized that it's been a little over 3 months since we were in Auburn for a visit. That is a really long time for us!! I then realized that we have that same amount of time before our baby arrives, and it didn't seem quite so long anymore :-)

 

On another note, we have been LOVING the beautiful spring weather over the past few weekends! Me and my preggers self has even gotten outside and worked in the yard like crazy to make it look fresh and beautiful for Spring! It truly is my favorite time of year!!!
