Epic Failure...

So I had my glucose test today...and I failed it. It wasn't by much - but I still have to go back for the long test which means I have to drink twice as much of the crap and have my finger pricked like 5 times. I knew that I had failed when the lab person wouldn't give me my results, but sent me back to a nurse. It was nearly tragic. I almost cried when they told me I have to come back. It was a sad day. On the bright side - Caroline measures exactly at 25 weeks meaning that she's just perfect!! Her heart beat was good and strong. She's been kicking up a storm lately, but usually only at night. Looks like we have a little night owl on our hands - just like her daddy!

The Crib

The crib has been ordered!! It should be here in the next couple of weeks - so we'll finally have a room that looks like a nursery! All we are lacking now is the dresser/changing table. I don't have any better picture of the crib, but it looks like this:



That's just some picture of it that I found on the internet. Once it actually gets here, I'll post how adorable it is in the room. I cannot wait to get it all set up and put the bedding on. Adam and I were out doing some shopping today. I was buying a new maternity dress (as most of the pants that I have are too uncomfortable now) when my mom called to say that she had bought the crib for us!! Thank you so much mom!! We are so lucky to have such wonderful parents!!!

This Tuesday I will be 25 weeks pregnant - time is just flying by!! I also have my blood glucose test which I am NOT looking forward to. I still cannot believe that in a few months we'll have a little baby!

Busy Saturday

Adam and I have been out of town for a funeral - so it was very nice to be at home and decompress after our long week. Adam went to do volunteer work this morning so that left Daisy and me home alone. I spent the morning cleaning the house and relaxing. I decided that I should go out and do some shopping while I waited for Adam to come back. I did deserve it...

I went back to Interiors and Antiques (one of my new favorite places to spend an afternoon) and found a beautiful mercury glass canister that I thought would look perfect in our living room. It was a bargain at under $20.



Then I traveled to Home Goods to look for a cute mirror for Caroline's room. I didn't find one that I was crazy about or that I didn't have to paint. I did find a cute insulated picnic basket for super cheap. It was a total impulse buy - but I figured that it would be fun to take Caroline to the park and have a lovely afternoon sometime this summer.



After a few other random errands I met up with Adam and we took Daisy to Homewood Park. It was such a beautiful day!! She had so much fun. Look at our fun pictures from our trip.






Daisy's passed out right now after her long stroll in the park. We're pretty exhausted as well!

The Bassinet

Thanks to some very nice friends - we got a beautiful bassinet to use for Caroline. It is white with green polka dots - the same green as her nursery! It's too cute and we cannot wait to put her in it!

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful Valentine's Day and a Valentine as sweet as mine! :)


Adam, I love you so much!! I am so proud to be your wife!

Adam's law school graduation


I look forward to every adventure we will take.

And many, many more years together!!!

Our 1 year anniversary trip to the beach

Sorry to be all mushy...I hope I didn't gross too many people out (sorry Katie!!)

The curtains are up!!

It's starting to look like a nursery!! The room is all painted, the chair rail is up and we hung the curtains. Also - the chair has been ordered and the crib and dresser/nursery will be purchased this week - so they'll be in the room soon!! We are SO incredibly thankful to have such wonderful parents and grandparents that wanted to buy Caroline's furniture for her!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! Here are some pictures of the nursery along the way....

After we painted the room blue (and then used it for random storage)

Once all the furniture arrives, we can start putting everything up on the walls and make it perfect for Caroline! I can't wait!

We finally got snow!!!

It finally snowed in Birmingham! Adam, Daisy and I bundled up and went outside to play in the snow this afternoon. Daisy loves the snow. It's so funny to watch her. We put her little sweater on and she really wanted to wear some shoes so her feet didn't get cold....



But alas - she had to go outside bare pawed :) I don't think she minded it too much though.



I caught her mid-shake

After playing for a while, we came in to warm up to some DVR and peppermint hot chocolate. I love the snow!!
