31 Weeks and Counting Down

John and I got back from a wonderful vacation together which was nice to regroup and get ready for everything we have going on at home. Before we left he did an awesome job putting up the trim in the nursery and now the painting begins. The nice thing is our friend Sarah is handling that.



We traveled around Florida for two weeks going to Orlando for a conference, stopping in Tallahassee, Panama City, Seaside and finally several days in Destin. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed our last days of taking only one bag to the beach. It was fun watching all the couples with their kids and looking forward to all the memories ahead of us!



I am 31 weeks this week and I am getting more and more excited everyday to meet our newest family member. I am dying to know if it is a boy or a girl. One day everyone thinks boy and the next girl. We have names picked out so we are ready. Either Lily Kate Slappey or John Jefferson Slappey, Jr (JJ for short).
I am feeling the baby move all the time, which is probably one of the most crazy and wonderful feeling. It is truly a miracle from God how we are created. I thank him every day for giving me this gift. Although I would like to know how come it takes 9 months for a baby and 7 days to create the earth. Seems like the process could be a little shorter at times! :)

This past weekend the grandparents ordered the nursery furniture. A special thanks to my parents and John's. Grandparents are a wonderful gift! As well as parents, which I have a new found respect for mothers!
We are painting the nursery cream, brown and green. It is going to be so cute. Then we are doing a dandelion over the crib.
I will post photos of the completed nursery once it is done. I am little stressed out about everything coming together but I know it will. It always does.
Here are some of the pieces going in the room!



Crib, Dresser & Rocker are from Babies R Us • Rug is from Rosenberry Rooms • Dandelion is from Studio JK

Time to take a break from the computer and hang out with my hubby! More to come later!
