Adelie's Nursery Take 2

So I realized last night that I never posted Adelie's nursery in the new house. Since I'm about to start transforming it into her Big Girl room, we decided to clean it up yesterday and photograph it one last time before we start shifting things around ;)
**Disclaimer-It never looks this tidy with a tornado toddler, but who wants to see photos of that ;) 
Once we were finished tidying up I went to grab my camera, (which was sitting on top of Adelie's baby book on the ottoman) just in time to see Adelie open said baby book and spill my camera a whopping 1.5ft onto the carpet.  Guess that was all it took because after recovering it, it wouldn't turn on or shoot.
All I wanted was to snap a few photos of her room.  Instead I spent 1.5 hours hysterical with a broken camera on the phone with Nikon followed by a drive to the camera store where they confirmed it would need to sent in to Nikon to be serviced for 6-8 weeks. Um No. I was about in tears at the camera store, the paperwork laying on the counter and my heart on the floor when he decide to try one last time to get it to turn on. It did. THANK BABY JESUS. 
So after all the hassle, headache and near heart attack, my camera is safe at home, out of the reach of tiny hands. 
And here are the photographs of Adelie's Nursery Part Two ;)
I kept it very similar to her old one, because I loved it so much, I never put back up her heart but maybe for her Big Girl room :) You can view her original nursery post HERE.

Week 20-Baby Girls

We started off this week with our Anatomy Scan which confirmed that Little A was still a girl and that she is growing and completely healthy! My granny and Aunt Jo came up for the appointment, and   kept Adelie entertained :) Like our gender determination ultrasound, Adelie kept shrieking 
BABY!!
at the screen-probably the cutest thing ever. She is going to be the BEST big sister :) The whole time Little A squirmed around and wasn't very cooperative-I even had to get up and walk around once because she was laying snuggly in my left hip ;)  Probably the most memorable moment was when her little hand stretched out perfectly and the tech snapped a picture.  It was so perfect, and I will definitely be framing that sweet little hand.
The most hysterical moment was when Granny and Jo came in and for the first 5 minutes they strained to see the ultrasounds screen the tech was using instead of the big screen on the wall by my feet. Once I looked over and realized what was going on, we all had a good laugh. The tech was so sweet and printed off three copies of the photos so G & J could each take home a set :)
I continue to have energy and so Adelie and I have jumped full force into decorating the nursery and her Big Girl room! The painting is done in Little A's room- Adelie's bed is almost finished (we're still mattress shopping) and I'm feeling super accomplished! I am going to go full force while I still have all this energy!  Identical pregnancies so far!
Halfway there little one!

Granny & Adelie in the waiting room :)


P.S That's my moms purple sweater :)


Jo was in the room for Adelie's Birth-Photographing it and will be in there for Little A as well!

Granny brought Big Sis a new baby!


Thursday Adelie & I went shopping for little Sis and got to check out the double stroller!
We were in love!
Now to save up for it over the next several months! haha
We clearly went to the clothing dept. and we quickly fell in LOVE with these hot pink overalls!





Currently she has been practicing giving her babies (she refers to them as Baby AHHHHHs)
kisses (saying mmmmmmwahhhhhhhh) so precious!

 A little sneak peek into Little A's nursery!

Week 19

Can I get it on the record that I'm actually blogging on the actual week?! 
Disclaimer-Wrote this last night in week 19, but posting today on week 20! I almost had it!

Wednesday was my last day of watching Liam, and now Adelie and I have all week to focus on my growing businesses (and belly!)   
AND
Hello Energy!
Literally out of nowhere I have all this energy and motivation! Has nesting begun early? I'm going to say yes. Today we hauled out the totesontotes of baby clothes into the nursery and started going through them. I forgot how many clothes this child had! Her sister thanks her ;)
Once we started on the clothes, motivated Jacee decided it would be an awesome idea to paint the nursery! And so we did! Might as well take advantage of this energy while I have it! (I don't think it'll stick around ;)
Baby girl is most active at night when I'm laying on my back and this week her kicks are crazy powerful! So powerful that Brandon actually felt her too :*) I got so emotional feeling her and that will never get old-what a blessing  it is growing a baby.

And you thought i was writing out all these chalkboards! ;)


A sneak peek of the nursery ;)
Made Adelie some Palazzo pants-and we're both a little obsessed!!

Bought Little A her first set of outfits-beacuase I'm a sucker for purple ;)

We've also partnered up with my friend Jess who own's Sadie Sky Boutique out of Texas to photograph her headbands-I'm sure you've seen Adelie model them before as they quickly became the only ones we wear ;)



The matching set the girls will wear home from the hospital!



Week: 19

Weight Gain: up 8lbs down 4 from last week

Cravings: coffee, chocolate, Alfredo Pasta, Anything Spicy

Clothing: leggings and long shirts

Best Moment this week: Feeling little A kick like crazy when laying in bed and having Brandon feel for the first time-def sent me into tears

Miss Anything? The ability to paint in my living room-this whole white carpets everywhere really limits my painting! Especially when I have a dresser AND a big girl bed to paint!

Movement? Yes several times a day :)

Anything making me sick or queasy? Nope

Mood: Finally feel energized and productive 

Looking forward to: Creating a beautiful space for our girls! I have {most} of the pieces for both their  rooms, just working on details!

Week 18

Writing this about a week late, but I've come to the conclusion these weekly bump dates will never be on time ;) I've been so busy this week, I had to remind myself I was pregnant! ha! Seriously! With the launch of our new business, Once Upon a Teepee, I have been sewing like a crazy lady- Our living room looks like a sweatshop, completely covered in fabric and I'm pretty sure I've showered maybe once this week? ;) We are SO excited about this new adventure and Adelie is pumped to have so many teepees in our house ;)   
We would love it if you checked us out!

Adelie's obsession with necklaces also includes her dads razor. #stylin


In baby #2 news, It's getting harder to put on my socks, I'm loving all of the sweet little kicks and somersaults! I finally have energy but am running out of clothes. Sweats, sweats, leggings, sweats.  Judging by my roots in that picture, I am also looking forward to a hair appointment ;)

Week: 18

Weight Gain: up 12lbs

Cravings: Mountain Dew, Taco Bell, Alfredo Pasta, Anything Spicy

Clothing: Circus Tent aka sweats

Best Moment this week: Feeling a HUGE somersault while laying in bed with my hand on my stomach! Heart eyes for days!

Miss Anything? Slightly warmer weather! Love the snow (or as Adelie says, "NO") but its Brr freezing.

Movement? Yes several times a day :)

Anything making me sick or queasy? Too much soda-that I am craving. win/lose

Mood: Finally feel energized and happy!

Looking forward to: Our annual family vaca to Florida!! Time to soak up some rays and SO excited to walk with Adelie on the beach!
