more pics...

It did spill in the floor also. Anthony had to jump straight into the shower to get the paint out of his eyes and mouth and nose. I can barely bend over so there is still some paint on the flooring. Let me just defend Anthony a moment...we have bought ALOT of paint from Lowe's and never had any problem. This was the first time. Thank God it was only 1 quart. Could you imagine if it had been 1 Gallon? We did call Lowe's and they offered to give us something to clean the floors with and replace the whole can of paint. Even though we only lost about 1/3 of it. I couldn't do anything but laugh.

My husband is going to kill me...

There is not much explaining needed here. Other than don't trust the girl at Lowe's that is mixing you paint to put the top SECURELY back on the can. My wonderful husband painting the last room in our house that has not seen a coat of paint since we moved in. Every room in the house was white, except for this one which had wallpaper, when we moved in. I will post some pics when he is done with it.

hmmmm....

I have an issue. I have talked to a couple different people about it, but I don't know that I feel comfortable posting about it yet. It is not anything bad, just something that is bothering. If you feel like being a counselor or feel that you are good at helping people with "things" e-mail me kellyrodriguez01@gmail.com. Sorry, but Haley and Momma you already know about this and can't really help.

The Nursery, part II

This is the pattern of the Travel System. I really really like it. It is very neutral.

I put this one here so you can see the pattern in the bedding. If you can't I will take a better one.

The curtains and bed spread that we got at Wal-Mart.

Okay, I know these aren't great, but it is the best that my dinky camera can do. I am going to get a better picture of the travel system soon. It is rainy here today and I don't have the best lighting in my house for pics. About the travel system...I had to find this one online. I did not like any that Babiesrus, Target, or Wal-Mart had in store. So, I went online. Target marked it down 10% and free shipping. So we jumped on it. We wanted something neutral, just in case next time it's a boy. God willing there is a next time.

So, we went to Lafayette today. It was HOT!!! Anthony is in to golf right now. So we had to make a stop at the two golf stores there. Luckily they had chairs and benches, so I sat the whole time Anthony walked around and made a wish list. I think he has enough for right now. We also went by the mall. At first I was pumped about going to the mall, until I got there. Express and The Limited were having sales, but I couldn't get anything. I have to try on everything! I am not one of those who can just get it and hope it fits. I was kind of upset, but not really. Anthony did find some things that he needed for the fall. He went all last school year with 3 pairs of pants. He has more than three, but only like to wear these 3. So, Express Mens had some on sale-which is the only way I will buy them. The man has way more clothes than me!! Something has to be wrong with that!

Thank you so much for all of the comments, I love them!!

almost forgot...

Our travel system came in!!! I will take a picture of the pattern also, because the advertisment does not do it justice. Now we just have to get the base of the carseat into my car!

It's HOT!!

So, there is not much going on around here. Anthony and I are both off for the summer, for the most part. He has to go to workouts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. He also has class in Lake Charles on Mondays and Wednesdays. Other than that he can be found on the golf course. I recently discovered the swimming pool at the country club where Anthony plays. I went for the first time on Sunday. I felt like a beached whale, but who cares. I did keep my shirt on and didn't blind anyone with the belly, maybe the legs but not the belly.

We completely finished the Nursery on Sunday. I am going to put up pics as soon as I take some. We got sheets, comforter, and curtains all from Wal-Mart. Our Wal-Mart is almost a Super Target now. They offer some of the very same things, just at a better price. I'm not ashamed to say we got a comforter for $18 and sheets for $5. Now they are 250 thread count, but what can you ask for for about $20. No one really sleeps in the day bed anyways. I am really excited about the curtains. They are really panels. We have panels in our living room and love them. We looked at Lowe's for some, but they didn't have any selection.

It is pretty sad that that has been the highlight of my week so far. We are going to Lafayette tomorrow for Anthony to get some contacts and eat at Pete's. If you haven't heard about Pete's ask me!! It is one of the best places to eat in Laf. I never know what to get-fried pickles, homemade chips, fried mushrooms or the burger with a fried egg on top. They are all good!!! Not the healthiest food you can eat, but who cares!

The Nursery

So, yesterday we tried to straighten some things up in the baby's room. We still have something to do, but for the most part it is done. We are keeping the day bed in there. We only have a two bedroom, so we have to have somewhere for people to sleep when they come over. As you can see from the picture, my wonderful husband drew and painted this beautiful wall. Let me tell you the story behind it...when we got the bedding in we thought it would be neat to do one wall with the polka dot pattern. I was just going to copy it on a copier and project it on the wall. Anthony told me no that he was going to handle it. I have to admit, I doubted him. I was so wrong. It is wonderful. We didn't really want any pink walls, so the green was perfect.

Home at last!

So we finally made it back home Sunday afternoon. I don't even want to begin to total how many hours of driving/riding we did in the past 2 weeks. It's alot!! I am going to get some pics from Chicago up here as soon as I get a chance. Between washing all of the clothes we got from the awesome baby shower we had in Monticello-more about that in a minute- and all of Anthony's clothes, and trying to organize the baby's room, I just haven't had a free minute.

So, I had a dr.'s appointment today. He said that I am measuring exactly where I am suppose to be for an August delivery. I had a couple questions for him and I really liked his answer-"This is my job, this is what I do everyday. Let me worry about those things." I really felt bad after that, but this is my first time. Her heartbeat was good-145. Everything was looking great! After that I went around Lafayette doing a little shopping. I feel like I am missing so much stuff that I need, but I don't know what it is. So between Haley, my mom, and I surely we can figure it out. My "travel system"-fancy name for car seat/stroller combo should be in soon. I can't wait!!! I absolutley love the pattern, but you can only get it online. Here is a picture of it-above. Sorry, but I couldn't get it to put it at the bottom!

We made it back!

So we made it back in one piece from Chicago. Hopefully, I will have some pictures up tomorrow. We had so much fun. Anthony got to try some German food and he said it wasn't too bad.

Shelley took some maternity pics today!! They are great!!! As soon as I can figure out how to put a link up here for it, I will! They are awesome. Not to mention we had a blast taking them. Let me know what you think about them!

We made it...

Well, we made it to Monticello. We leave this afternoon on our way to Chicago. We are staying with my Great Aunt Rosie, so no internet. I will have to post pics and tell you about everything whenever we make it back. Hopefully, we will have alot of pics! I know for sure that we are going to Navy Pier, the Sears Tower, and the Cubs games on Tuesday night. They play the Braves. It will be so much fun.

For those of you who don't know about this...Google Reader is a really good tool to use to keep up with updated blogs. Just so you don't have to keep checking back all the time. You just click on it and it tells you who is updated. I use it and love it.

Any suggestions...

Okay, I am almost 30 weeks and I have hit that miserable phase. I can't sleep at night. I have like 5 pillows that I start out sleeping with, but by the morning they all end up in the floor. I toss and turn ALL NIGHT! I sleep for like 2 hours at a time. My legs are bothering me just a little bit also. Oh, the joys of being pregnant. But I have to say, I wouldn't change it for anything. So, if you have any suggestions, please leave them!!!! Let me thank you now!!
