For the record: our little baby is a GIRL! We are naming her Esme Julia Christian and are so unbelievably excited to meet her!
We had a very happy gender reveal with both sides of the family! Here's some highlights in photos:
 |
| Our delicious brunch, the day before Mother's day! |
 |
| Ha! We tricked poor Grammie! What a great reveal! |
 |
| The vote down in Oklahoma! |
 |
| Our pinata! Filled with candy to reveal the gender! |
 |
| Our dino's guts! Pink for girl!! |
 | |
| Maybe its because I am pregnant, but I think I was the only one who preferred the candy over the balloons! |
Other than that- everything is going great! We are going to have a midwife (hopefully) deliver Esme. And even though I am starting to get more nausea in the 3rd tri I am happy and healthy! Esme moves a LOT. She has moved a remote control off my belly before and even nudged a bolt of fabric I had against my belly at Hobby Lobby!
Speaking of Hobby Lobby. Amy and I went to every craft store in town, coupons in hand, to get some nursery decorations. Here is how we made out:

EXCUSE THE MESS! I literally swiped everything off of my coffee table to get my craft supplies on there. What you're looking at: -Fabric for baby blanket, which I am applique-ing dinosaurs on -Wooden dinos for mobile -1 Wooden hoop for said mobile -Various sized wooden hoops to fill with fabric for wall polka dots -Japanese lanterns, I may paint dinos on these -Wooden frames I will paint for pictures of "Mommy", "Daddy", and "Baby" -Paint and foam brushes -Already painted letters for above the crib Only thing missing (I think) is the ribbon to hang everything and PERHAPS a lamp I may decorate if I can do it non fire hazardly. Also, if my estimates are correct I got all of that junk for <$50. I don't count the non-pictured ribbon as that will be leftover from our wedding. PS- check out my unintentional "view from above" bump. Underneath is a baby magazine I swiped off my table and it looks like I am giving birth. LOL |
