Baby Names

I just love this vanity bench from etsy store High Street Market. The fabric colors are exactly what I want for the (girl)nursery and it would make a great place to perch my feet while rocking baby. We keep going back and forth about what to do with the nursery if we are having a boy, so this piece may or may not work.

This weekend we (my sister Erica and I) are hosting a baby shower for our older sister, Lindsay. She is due March 14th with her sweet little Dixie (she really likes her southern roots). Before I go and finalize the details for the shower, I thought I'd share with you dear readers the names we have picked out for baby.

Boy: Everette(after my grandfather) Ross(after my baby's daddy)
Girl: Lennon(after John Lennon) Joy(after my sweet Mama)

If you'll remember, we recently named our kitten Lennon. When a friend told us how cool that name would be for our child, we quickly changed kitties name to Dexter. After the t.v. show. He reminds us much of Dexter's character. Normal, fun loving kitty by day, psychopath serial killer by night. It fits him well.

Have a great weekend!

One down.

This past weekend my husband and I were celebrating our one year anniversary. We are very laid back people when it comes to holidays/birthdays/and other random things people celebrate. We like to do fun things for each other, but we don't feel the need to go crazy, spending lots of money and getting all fancy shmancy. (there are times for this, but they are rare!)

A perfect night of celebrating according to us is when we can order take-out, set up a picnic in our living room and watch the last two episodes of season 5 from LOST. (which we did) It was pure bliss. However, that day we did get out to look at houses, go see Avatar, and eat some more (I've finally moved into the "i'm hungry more phase"). What a beautiful movie that is! I am fascinated and slightly obsessed with seeing it again!

We had such a wonderful day, which carried over to Sunday and Monday just spending time together, regrouping and talking about what a beautiful, first year it was! I am positively giddy about what this year will hold for us.


p.s. I am going on a maternity shopping spree soon. Any suggestions on where to go? (besides Old Navy)

Did you know?

That Top Shop sells maternity clothes?

This dress is a.dorable and I'm wondering if I could talk my sweet husband into getting it for me?!

Also, I am about to enter my 16th week of pregnancy. I have a cute little bump and I felt my sweet little one kick for the first time yesterday! We find out the sex of the baby in 2 weeks. I am distracting myself by contemplating a makeover. I have been so bleh for the past 12 weeks, that I'm ready to feel beautiful and sassy once again. Although it's a bit chilly for that dress at this moment, I'd still feel sassy with it hanging in my closet awaiting Spring.

I will leave you with a photo. It's a very bad quality, blurry, not centered photo, but I can't figure out how to download pictures from my camera just yet so this'll do. It's our new t.v. stand. We got it from IKEA for $60, on sale from $180. It's a bookcase that we turned sideways. My husband had the *brilliant* idea to put the fabric behind it to cover all those nasty chords. He also tied back the chords that are currently shown in this picture. I'm in love with it!
