Hi!

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted on here. Don't worry, I'm fine, just busy with life and getting ready for Dallas to come. I'm on the single digit countdown....9 weeks!!!! I can't believe how fast it's going. Most days I'm really excited, and can't wait to meet the little guy. Other days, I'm stressed out of my mind and keep myself up at night just thinking about it! Two days last week, I woke up at 3 and couldn't get back to sleep. Needless to say I was not in my happiest mood. But life is good! We went to the doctor's today and everything is looking great. There was a possibility of me having to have a C-section because of my placenta being lower then Dallas, but as of today...that's not an issue! I am grateful about that! Dallas just loves to kick and squirm, especially around the time I want to go to bed or I want to sleep in. One Sunday in particular, he had a fiesta in my belly. From across the couch, Will could see this guy dancing for a good 10 minutes. It was really fun to see! But I've been staying busy cleaning the house, working, and trying to do some projects here and there. Will has started school, and it seems to be a little more relaxed this semester then in the past. That'll change here pretty quick as he begins to take the CPA test. It's a series of 4 tests and as soon as he passes the first test, he has a year and a half to pass the other 3. He's hoping to pass the first test before Dallas comes. He also is doing Dallas' room somewhere in between studying. So we'll see how it goes. I'm so proud of him and the hard work he's done. But that's what's going on in a nut shell!
Here's me at 30 weeks. I'm starting to get uncomfortable and constantly have to change positions when sitting down. We had a 4D ultrasound done today and Dallas has his daddy's cheeks. It was cute to see. He's also measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule with an extra large head (again, takes after his daddy) I'm a little worried about the head thing, but I think it'll all work out. I've only gained about 25 pounds, which I'm happy about, I'm sure that'll double in no time :)
Here's a project that I started/finished today. There's nothing like supplies around the house to make a cute craft with. If you can't tell, it's a 3D pumpkin in the middle of the frame using scrap paper. Way easy!
Oh and here's my inspiration for Dallas' room. My mom has offered to make Dallas' bedding for his crib (which I'm really excited about) This 'color story' is the color palette for his room. We're going to put white paneling on the bottom of the walls, with the gray on top with citron accessories. I can't wait to get started, we are just waiting for the fabric to come which will be Friday...it can't come soon enough! Pictures are coming for sure!!

Only 25 pounds?! Way to go B, you look great! I've gained 29 and the Dr. told me this week to be careful and not gain much more:) I love the colors for his room and I can't wait to see pictures when everything is done. I am going to try and make Ellie's bumper for her crib and I am no expert so we'll see how that turns out.

You look so cute! 25 pounds is awesome! Love that he's got Will's cheeks and big head. Don't worry, he'll grow into the Hinsdale noggin just fine. I can't wait to see the bedroom. My bedroom is the white boards on the bottom with grey on the top, only a dark red is the accent color. Can't wait to see pics of yours! See you soon!
