27 weeks and the nesting begins

This weekend is going to be our first real weekend of focusing on Mason's room. Thanks to HGTV (rate my space nursery) we are going to use someone's idea to create a fun space for our little guy.

The room is currently yellow, so we are going to leave two walls yellow and paint two blue and add lots of fun color.

We have also picked out the crib. Thanks mom and dad for the wonderful gift, all of your grand babies will love using it. It coverts to a toddler bed as well. I love efficient designs, and with our little house the extra storage on the bottom will be wonderful. We are quickly learning (thanks Kai) how much stuff babies require!

So as I enter the third trimester this weekend, we are realizing more so that our life as we know it will never be the same. We are very excited to embark on this new adventure. I think I have finally embraced pregnancy and am actually enjoying it but ask me at week 36 and I may have a different answer.

weddings, family, and friends and week 26

So I have to apologize that we do not have many photos of our Vail weekend. We really need a new camera. I am hoping to steal a few from my cousins. We had a really nice time seeing our family and wished we could have spent more time with them. The long weekend was wonderful despite the horrible cold I woke up with on Thursday morning and still have.

The bride before she put on her gown!

I am proud to announce my little brother is officially off the market and their wedding was beautitful. The cermony took place on top of Vail mountain at a place called the "wedding deck". All of the guests and the bridal party rode the gondolas up to the top of vail mountain. The weather was beautitful! It was odd to be up there with out snow.

After the cermony was complete we took the gondolas back down and headed to Donovan's Pavillion in West Vail were the reception was taking place. Here are some of the pictures that turned out.

Mr. and Ms. Armstead

Great decoration...loved our place cards!

The first dance, they danced to "Danny's Song"

Love this touch!

Keegan looked so cute in his suit. Here he is eating lots of Candy from the Candy table. He slept through the entire ceremony. You could actually here him snoring.

Dinner was fabulous, filet and salmon.

The candy station, it was gone in a few hours!

Their cake beautitful and delicious.

Here is the 26 week shot...I am a house only to get bigger. He is moving a lot, which is such an amazing feeling. I can not believe I am getting ready to hit the final trimester. We just feel so blessed as a family.

We've been absent:week 25

I am not sure where time has gone the past few weeks. All is well, just busy. I need to get some pictures up here and will try to on the next post, which should include Cade's upcoming wedding (they get married this Friday.)

Baby, Matt and I are moving right along. I can not believe I am already approaching my third trimester (just a few weeks). We are getting really excited to meet this little rascal that kicks me daily. Baby and I are healthy, all of the recent tests for preclampsia, diabetes, and anemia came back negative. So I am healthy but swollen. I can not find shoes and have been relying on a pair of flip-flops:) Slightly unprofessional but they work. With all the love in the world my husband has dubbed me "sausage feet." He also bought the most romantic gift the other day, nose strips. I guess I have started snoring and he read in my "what to expect when you are expecting" book that these help. So he placed one on me the other night before bed, I put on both of wrist braces and my large nighty and stood in front of him. He could hardly contain himself. Good thing we love each other so much because I know I am just screaming SEXY! On a side note the strips work but are fairly uncomfortable so my hubby is just having to adjust.
