HIS room...

For those of you who know me I am a little OCD... and in my defense I will say that when I go to other peoples houses if their not OCD I REALLY don't care. HAHA thats a good thing right?? Well my disease is serious haha I HAD to have his room DONE 100% before he came home. Now some of you may think "they don't even sleep in there for who knows how long" well very true. I can't argue with that :) Thats why I say I am little crazy because i can't argue that great point. Anyways, It is all done and we love it. I do sit in there and rock in the chair and just look around and think Holy Moly this is for my kid. So unreal. Am i really ready for this?? Well ready or not here he comes....

My sister in law got my nieces bedding at the orange county swap meet. She would rant and rave about this guy and how wonderful he was. Before we knew what we were having we took a trip to the OC swap meet when we were in California to check it out. WE LOVED IT!!!! He is called the Baby Guy! He has all these different fabrics and colors to choose from. Boy bedding was hard for us to agree on because i didnt want brown furniture and i didn't want everything blue. It seemed like everything we saw was blue and brown. We saw the pattern that we picked out and it grew on us. We now love it. The cool thing about it is that you design it yourself. You pick out the main pattern and add WHATEVER you think looks good with it.  It can be overwhelming, but luckily their there to help you out. His bedding set comes with bumpers, sheet, skirt, and the best baby comforter out there. For way cheaper than you see online. He also does anything extra you may want......curtains, hampers, pillows, changing pad cover, pee pads, car seat covers, bags, etc.  So with that we knew his bedding was a little much so we tried to make the rest of the room a little more calmer :)
My amazing husband surprised me awhile ago when I was in California, I came home and he did the white boarding behind the crib and it was perfect.  Then he said he wanted to make the changing table in the window. Me being OCD, I always ask him questions about his thoughts when it comes to building things, but when he is done I wonder why do I even ask him?? It's always perfect. His brain works that way and mine doesn't so shut up Julie!! haha So his talent and hard work always looks great and makes me so proud of him. Baby Walkers room would not be the same without his daddy's creativity in it :)  As for his name I had a totally different idea that was seeming to be more complicated and annoying. Brandon made that board and I painted the letters and board and there you have it. Something way more simple :) Now as for the chair.. we found it on KSL for 30 bucks (STEAL), painted it and had a friend, Rachel recover it for me. She did a great job and we love love love it. thanks again Rachel!! :) Okay enough of that and I think I am done Blogging until the delivery. Hope it all goes smoothly and perfect for us! As for now I will keep huffin, puffin and wattling my way through each day!

 He didnt "glue" in the rails just nailed them, so it doesn't always need to be a changing table. 

           

The Prego Life

I am now almost 38 weeks and still can't believe I am about to have A BABY!!!!! Crazy Crazy Crazy!!! We are so excited and so anxious to know all about him and see what he really looks like. I love him so much already and can't imagine what I will feel when he is actually in my arms. Anyways, I wanted to diary about my pregnancy a little bit.
Brandon and I have been married for almost two years. It will be two years in March. So sorry if some of this is too much info..... haha. I started birth control when we got married and I HATED it!!! I was crazy. Made me more crazy than I already am. I was a mess!! Around August (after our wedding) I decided to go off of it and that was a great decision. I felt like ME again. We weren't really preventing and not really trying. We were just doing whatever. Looking back I guess we didn't really care if something happened because we were NOT very careful. haha! Of course every month I just "knew" i was pregnant! blah blah blah and I never was. :) The following June (yea almost A YEAR) i was super tired, my boobs hurt, and i felt a little different.  One night we went to taco Bell and i LOVE taco bell and it was soooo gross. I knew something was going on. Maybe i was just sick or something. That night Brandon went to the airport to pick up his brother. On the way home he stopped and got a pregnancy test. He woke me up but i refused to take it. For two reasons, I was nervous and my brother just had their first baby girl that very day. So i was ignoring the fact that I really could be preggy.  We woke up the next morning and i felt so sick. Brandon left for church and I gave in and took a test. Some of you may think that was rude to do it alone but if I were pregnant I always wanted to surprise Brandon with a test. I sat there and was shaking as i saw those TWO lines appear. I of course cried!! So excited and so nervous. I sent Brandon on a scavenger hunt when he got home, which led him into the now baby room. He was seriously so happy and so cute about it. He wanted to be pregnant more than I did. Isn't it usually the other way around?? :)
Anywho, it definately shows that its not on our time. We got pregnant when the Lord knew we were ready and could handle it. WE ARE READY!!! (we think) :) oh wait i forgot to mention about a week before taking the test I had a dream I gave birth to a baby and it was a BOY!!! For some reason we always thought when we got pregnant it was going to be a boy. then we started to really really want a boy, which was bad because we didn't want to be disappointed if it were a girl. I am not kidding the day after I took that test I was sick. Let the Nausea begin. :( I was thinking well I am atleast 4 weeks along to get a positive pregnancy test. When we finally got to the doctors we found out I was 12 weeks!! yay almost to the feeling better stage. Nope it lasted about six weeks after that. Thank goodness for Zofran. It didn't cure it but sure let me function.  So when I found out i was about 6 weeks which makes sense why i was sick literally the next day. haha. I never threw up just nauseous ALL DAY EVERYDAY, which is almost worse I think. I would cry myself to sleep, call my mom in the middle of the night, just miserable. I would say I am never ever doing this again!! This is AWFUL!!! It finally passed and now looking back i have forgotten that feeling and LOVE being pregnant! Thank goodness because this kid would have been an only child if not. (not that there is anything wrong with that) :) I finally got some energy back and was loving it! Feeling him go crazy every minute in my belly was just so fun. I was getting kinda bored at home and then when we found out we were having a boy i just wanted to buy so many things. I thought I need a J.O.B, something part time and not stressful. I quit American Laser Centers and we thought I was done done. But nah i found a job sitting on the phones and being on facebook everyday all day. BEST pregnant job a girl could have. I left there right before Christmas. We will see how things go after the baby if I wanna work again. As for now i get the blessing to be a stay at home mama! For those of you who are prego or have been I am sure you can relate to the charlie horses, the sore enormous boobs, the paleness in the skin, the back aches, the headaches, the trying to put shoes on stage and realize "wow i really cant do this", want nothing but sweat pants on, being so tired you think you are going to DIE, the laziness, the baths, the nonsense meltdowns (that are hilarious the next day), the huffing, the puffing, the horrible gas (sorry), clothes not fitting, (brandon just shouted out "hatred for sex" ) hahah SO TRUE, pointed tummy when your trying to get up, and many many more weird things. I would say cravings but I unfortunately didn't have any :( I have overall had such a great experience and the ONE thing i can complain about that i have just HATED is a stuffy nose the WHOLE time. I'm not uncomfortable and sleep fine, but my nose being stuffy is so annoying. Hope it goes away. I think if that's the only thing I can HATE while being pregnant i did pretty good! Well I think I have covered the last nine months. We are so excited and I can't wait to love my husband more and more because of OUR baby. He will be an awesome dad and I can't wait to see that. Baby Walker we are ready for you to come into our life :)

We did it!! With the help from my friends, Kelsey and Jamyn we are now BLOGGERS!!! I have been wanting to have a blog, but never knew how to get it going and the one time i tried it was too confusing. HAHA so i gave up. Thank goodness for good bloggy friends right?? I say "we" but lets be honest Brandon will have no idea what goes on this thing. I will say I am so excited to have all these fun records of things that go on in our crazy little life. I am NOT a scrapbooker so this will be our scrapbook. When that time comes to print this out I am sure I will need some help again. But for now i think I got this down. woohoo!!! Well I am excited to stalk all your cute blogs and i hope i can keep up with mine. I wouldn't mind deleting facebook and just having this, but that isn't realistic, just a want i guess. :) Welcome the Sistrunks to blog world!!
