making room for PINK

Last week (or maybe it was the week before, everything seems so blurred) I had another ultrasound with the baby. The boys were at a friend's house and Aaron was able to get off work and meet me at the doctor's office, so it was a perfect afternoon date. Before we went, I couldn't help thinking that somehow this baby was going to grow a penis and all my dreams would be shattered. But she still has GIRL parts. Yay!

The 3D pictures are a little freaky, but awesome too. She looks a lot like our boys did in their ultrasound pictures... particularly Luke and Simon. If she comes out looking half as pretty as Simon, I will be satisfied.

Since the ultrasound (proof that she really is a girl) I've been making room for lots of pink clothes! I've washed & organized what I have for the first 9 months. I am loving all these hats, tights and shoes! And how crazy is it that my boys still only have one church outfit each? Boys are so boring-- and easy.


I feel a little weird having a baby shower when I already have so much stuff. Do I tell my friends NOT to buy me girl clothes? Maybe just do an accessories or diapers shower?? I honestly don't know what to do with it all! It's in my closet for now..., but when we figure out what we're doing with our bedrooms, it will be moved... However, there is probably space in my closet for a crib too :) You never know.

My side of the closet still has the same, old clothes.. Most of them are either too small or too big for me... or too hot to wear in this blazing heat.

Oh, and our new bedroom furniture.. Do you want to see it? I still plan on getting new lamps, but I just can't seem to find the excitement to go shopping for house decor. Some people love it. I do not.

I should have vacuumed and dusted before showing you inside by bedroom, but who are we kidding? I don't dust, but I need to with this black furniture. We also have a tall dresser, bookshelf and circle mirror on the opposite wall. Maybe I will show you later. I have bathroom pictures to upload, too. (I painted our vanity black to match our dressers. Love.)

Our room used to be a darker gray, but with this furniture, I decided to go a few shades lighter. It definitely has a blue tint in the morning and I love it. While painting, I came across this little marker man behind a dresser and just couldn't paint over it without taking a picture. Thanks to Zack, we have a few more of these permanent people around our house..


If this post couldn't get more random, let me now give you an update on our throw-up status. It's still going on... about every hour. Luke has been struck down by this 72 flu bug. I hate to say it, but it's so much nicer having him sick than my younger two. He does his thing in the toilet and then sleeps the rest of the day. Ben is the only one who has yet to puke this week. This morning he said to me, "Man, I just know I am going to be the last one sick and now I wish I was the first." He is so funny.. I'm crossing my fingers it doesn't get him.

Here's to cute dresses, new paint and getting better!
