Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving All!! Hope your holiday was grand :)

 

Week 38 is coming to a close so we snapped a photo today before we went to my in laws for our delicious Thanksgiving meal.

 

This week was the culmination of a long standing pinterest project!!

The wall décor for Baby K's Nursery!

Here was the inspiration:

 

Our finished Product from Baby K's Room!! LOVE IT!!

 

 

 

All fabric patterns purchased from Joanns fabric, I had the embroidery hoops and spray painted them gold, Then the K we purchased at Hobby Lobby with a change of paint color we were ready to GO!!

 

Thanks to Daddy and Gypsy for their hanging skills :)

 

 

With this project the Nursery is now COMPLETE!! YAY!! So here is a quick photo tour of Baby K's Nursery :)

Nursery is all ready to go....now all we need is the BABY!!

When should we expect baby K?!?

My doctor was pretty confident that I wouldn't make it to my due date or that I shouldn't have to be induced however....it seems that I progressed quickly and now have been staying the same SO who knows!! I am not getting my hopes up...I think Baby K may just stay in till after her due date but we are hoping she decides to come on her own and SOON!!

 

Tyler and I are getting SO anxious to meet our daughter and to see what she looks like!

 

 

Daddy Set up!!

Tyler has been a trooper throughout the entire pregnancy!!

 

I have had several "hunny does" for him in regards to Baby K!!....

He actually has one or two more before she arrives eeek!

 

Here is a run down of his adventures so far!!

 

The first project was a shelving unit for the nursery...we purchased it at Menards. We were very pleased with color etc however were sad when some of the holes were drilled in the wrong spot...so Tyler got his drill and re drilled them in the correct spot! He is so handy!!

 

Finished Product #1!

 

Then a few weeks later we picked up our crib :)

With a little holding help from my little bro it actually went together really easy!

It is the Truly Scrumptious Curved Lifetime Convertible Crib in Sienna Color

from Babies R us! We love it!!

 

 

Finished Product #2!

 

Then came the baby swing!

Tv Break... :)

 

Gypsy was always near by to assist!!

 

Most recently Stroller assembly!!

It went super smooth!! So I only had one pic :)

 

Then as you know from yesterday's blog he got the car seat base all installed for our first ride home as a family of 3!!....Family of 3 that sounds CRAZY!!

 

It is getting SO close!! Happy Sunday!

I will have a more detailed post to come of baby prep, Daddy construction/setup items....and maybe a little bit about when we can expect Baby K!!

 

Halloween Fun!!

The week of Halloween marked week #34 of pregnancy so of course I had to do a Halloween theme :)

 

 

The shirt in the photo is an idea from pinterest slightly modified to my tastes :)

This is the post from pinterest:

http://sggmom.blogspot.com/2012/10/halloween-finger-paint-craft-and.html

 

Here is my tutorial:

You will want to start with a template I just printed off a plain classic jack-o-lantern face off the internet...an orange shirt and some black felt. I bought two sheets of felt just incase I messed up etc

You start with a plain orange shirt of your liking...I got mine in long sleeve for $6 at Walmart!  

 It was from the normal clothing section...I didn't want a plain stiff "craft" t-shirt like the girl in the original post suggests :)

 

I then put the shirt on so that it was stretched to my belly because things lay way different on a stretched belly shirt than a nice flat shirt on the table lol :) I then commissioned Tyler's help I held the template up to my tummy and he marked dots on the shirt with a sharpie by poking through the template where the eyes, nose and mouth needed to go!

I then cut out the pieces of felt off the pattern and hot glued (this is one of the biggest differences between my demo and the other gals...she says to use fabric bond blah blah...well I use a glue gun for EVERYTHING and once again it didn't let me down) glue them on by using the black dots as a guide. I then made a bow because as we all know Baby K is a girl...and my love for bows :) I made a simple flat bow and hot glued it up above the eye!

You have a super simple fun Halloween baby themed shirt!!

 

In addition to this craft Tyler and I decided we would carve pumpkins this year...I haven't done this is FOREVER!! So it was super fun!!

Here are some photos of us carving and our creations :)

Tyler starting on Baby K's pumpkin!

Gypsy was of course close by to help assist! Tyler got a little close with the flash lol

Getting the goop out of my pumpkin...I forgot how messy this process was :)
