Getting Ready...

You might call it nesting..I just call it getting ready. No surge of energy in fact I have less of it than I have had for the last 9 months!
I can't decide which outfit to bring..not knowing how big he will be or what his style will be until I see him!
HA HA!
So I'm bringing them all!
Car Seat is in..Bags are being packed...Little clothes are being washed..
(dreft smells really good!)

Now this is something I thought I'd never see in my Jeep...
a CARSEAT!!!

Now all we need is a baby!

Less than 2 weeks till due date!

Baby Update

Went to the doctor yesterday and still no progress to report!
My thick cervix has been great to keep the baby secure all these months but now it may be tough to get it to soften and open up.
He said I may even go over to week 42 or 43..ugh!
I feel like my body cannot stretch anymore!
But..he will come when he is ready!
In the meantime her is a picture of his pack n play we put in our room...Chris gave me the cute little wall plaque for Christmas..its a daily reminder of the special little person joining us soon!

Shower Pics part 2

I have more shower pics to show!


Me arriving...what a pretty spring day it turned out to be..
WOW !
This is a collage of Chris and I when we were little and baby Carter's 4-D ultrasound pics..
Steph did a great job on it and we still look at it..its so amazing to see a bit of both of us in him!
We joke that it's like putting both of us in a blender..and he is made!


What profiles!
Hope it all goes back in place..or close anyway!


I just want cake!
Oh there it is...and boy did we eat cake for a couple of days!
I even took some to my doctor and staff..I figure I need all the brownie points I can get! haha
In fact I'm thinking of apologizing ahead of time for anything I might say or do during delivery!


Thanks again to everyone for coming and I'm still getting calls from those who couldn't make it ..I love hearing from everyone!

Rings & Things

"Blue Bird Nest Ring"
For the ever popular bird lovers of Etsy!
~~~~~~~~
My Blue Bird Nest Necklace is back also...I had a bride request one for her wedding so I got enough to make 3 more...2 are gone already today so if you want one grab it! With the baby so close I'm not sure when I will get around to making more.

"Turquoise Desert Ring"

This is my personal favorite embellishment ring I have made so far!

The colors look so good with a tan and its small enough to be discreet yet still be a stand out!

This is the wholesale ring order I have been working on...It was fun to use some different charms and natural stone combinations!
ok...off to wire wrap my bird necklaces!

Stretchy Bracelets

Personally I love stretchy bracelets!
They are easy to get on and they don't move around..I'm just not a "dangle bracelet" girl!
They are not for everyone but if you are a "no dangle girl"..check these out!

"Funky Chunky Blondie"

They lay flat when not on ..so I put them on to help you visualise them!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Circles and Shells, Turquoise and Bling"

(This one is gone..but it will not show sold on Etsy because it sold locally)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Nuggets & Hoops"

I wore a similar one at my shower and alot of people loved it so...I made a few to list.

If you would like one but with different colors just let me know!

This is her son Jesse, he is so excited that I'm having a boy! ( no need to point out the obvious Jesse) haha
