New Decorations for Willow

Esteban continues to work his creative magic on our little Willow's room! Here is an updated picture. I hope she gets some of his creative/artistic ability!


This has been a busy week as well. I had a baby shower yesterday and our new office and bathroom build out in the basement is FINISHED!!!! Whew! More pics of those to follow.

7 months and counting

So tomorrow will be 31 weeks. Little Willow has been swimming around and honing her soccer skills. I have been feeling pretty good except for the occasional heart burn. Next week is my shower and I really need to work on her room and the house this week!!!

More decorations for Willow

Hello from freezing cold Kansas City! Either I am getting older or this weather is much colder here this year. (Must be the second huh?) So Esteban and I have been hard at work getting Willow's room together. We are also having a portion of our basement built out right now as well. Just one more thing to keep us busy and out of trouble! :) Here are the updated pics of Willow's room. We have not yet taken a new pic of my stomach. That will come tomorrow and we will see whether or not I will put it up here. What a difference a month makes. :)

Getting Ready for Willow

So yesterday E and I started working on Willow's room. We unpacked some of the items we bought, arranged her furniture and started decorating of course. Here are some pics of the early stages of our work. She is going to have oodles and oodles of butterflies in her room!! There will be more pics to come of course so stay tuned. :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Winter Solstice

Today is the shortest day of the year or as some people remind me the LONGEST NIGHT. Kind of a glass 1/2 empty or 1/2 full scenerio huh?

However, today is also my parents 43rd Anniversary! What were you doing 43 years ago today? As I am a little younger than that my memory is a little hazy . . .

Congratulations Mom and Dad. Your marriage and relationship are an inspiration to both of us.

I looked online to see what the present is for 43 years of marrige and it says Travel. I think this is approprate as looking into your future I see some upcoming travel in April of next year. So I think you will get to celebrate in style. I also looked forward to the gift for 44 years of marriage (planning ahead). According to the website I was on you buy groceries to celebrate 44 years of marriage. Groceries for 44 years of marriage am I wrong or does this seem like the worst gift ever? I am thinking it is good I looked ahead cause we need a year to plan something more special and exciting than buying groceries. :)

Congrats! Love you both!!!


PS. I included a link to the site in case you think I am making this stuff up. Note I am not that creative. :)

It's a girl!

We had our 20 week ultrasound this week and found out the wonderfully fantastic news that we are going to have a little girl!!! She was very photogenic during our appointment and at one point turned toward us and kept opening and closing her mouth. She was swallowing but it looked just like she was talking to us. Below are some pics of my baby bump and our little Willow!

One happy little girl!
