We took these pictures on Mother's Day :) We went to Shelby Farms to see the baby bison and go for a little walk. It was really special celebrating my first Mother's Day, but I can't wait until next year when I get to actually celebrate with my baby boy in my arms. Zac got me the sweetest card and necklace. Baby button gave me the best gift which was some movement that I could actually feel and knew it was him.

This week I've been able to feel baby moving around more. He is more active at night. Zac felt the baby move (5/14/13). So exciting!!! :) We are going on our babymoon to Jackson Hole, WY. We can't wait to relax and explore. We love traveling together. It will be our first trip with the three of us or our last trip just the two of us depending on how you look at it. Yay ♥

Painting the nursery

2013-05-14T12:13:22-05:00

We painted the nursery this past week :) We decided to only paint the crib wall this dark blue/green color to match the rug we picked out. The rest of the walls will stay the cream color that they are. We tried to touch those up too, but the paint was old and doesn't match. Haha. So we will have to redo two walls. I'm excited to start hanging prints on the walls and get everything set up.

Halfway there! This week was a rough week. I had to keep reminding myself next week is the babymoon...you can do this :) My mom had surgery and it was worse than we had expected. Then I had to go to Nashville by myself and spend one night for work (never fun for me). I feel like I barely had any time with Zac this week or any down time. I am looking forward to relaxing this weekend. I've been feeling more movement this week but no real "kicks" yet. We've been calling baby button a name, but I'm not sure if it's going to be the "one" or not. Most likely it will stay unless we find another name we like better in the next week or so :)

Nashville :: The Black Keys

2013-05-10T16:36:53-05:00

Friday night Zac + I had a date night in Nashville :) We ate dinner at Merchants, walked around Riverfront Park and then headed to the Bridgestone Arena to see THE BLACK KEYS!!! (and The Flaming Lips). It was one of the best concerts we've been to in a while. We've never seen them play before either. So awesome!!! The next morning we ate at The Pancake Pantry (makes my mouth water thinking about it) before going home.

I can't believe I'm almost halfway through. I am LOVING being pregnant except for a few aches and pains, but they are totally worth it. I am so excited to feel the baby kick and know it's him. I also can't wait for Zac to be able to feel him too :) So far I've just had a few flutters every now and then.

We went to Nashville on Friday and it was baby button's first road trip :) We saw The Flaming Lips and The Black Keys. I'm pretty sure he was wondering what in the world was going on and I could feel him moving around, haha. Today I started making a quilt and Zac painted the nursery.

Saturday

2013-05-01T14:07:10-05:00

We went to the Grizzlies vs. Clippers game and WE WON!!! :) Then we met up with friends and saw Dave Matthews Band. A few of us were pregnant. It was baby button's first concert :) I wonder if he enjoyed it? It was crazy how many people were there and how packed it was! I stood the whole time and I think my body has been paying for it the past few days, haha. I only really loved a few songs that he played and it wasn't as great as I'd hoped. Here's the setlist.

This week we got to see our beautiful baby boy again :) I think I looked at Zac almost as much as I looked at the screen. He had the biggest smile and it was the sweetest thing ever. Baby button is looking perfect so far and he was playing with his umbilical cord, haha. We are so thankful that everything looks good.

Baby button went to his first concert last night and heard Dave Matthews Band :) Today I'm sewing cushions for the rocking chair; I hope they look good.

We have been planning our "babymoon" to Jackson Hole, WY and CAN'T WAIT to go!

This past week we have been talking a lot about boy names :) I really like one, Zac really likes another and then we have one that we both agree on, haha. We'll see what happens. The rug and fabrics were delivered; they are super cute! We have a crib that's been sitting in the middle of the room because we've been without air (too hot upstairs to put it together). Things are started to feel very real. I bought some dreft to wash baby clothes and fabric in. I'm getting a list of sewing projects together and I hope to start this weekend.

We put together the crib Friday night and picked a color to paint the nursery. My mom and I got the cutest baby boy clothes on Saturday. I draped them over the crib and get excited every time I walk in the room :) Tonight we went for a walk. I keep asking Zac if people think I'm fat or pregnant, haha. I hope the pregnant! ;)

Gender Reveal Party

2013-04-15T16:55:11-05:00

I made cupcakes that morning :) It was a little stressful + I was afraid they wouldn't turn out, but I'm glad I did it.

I had a sheet with gender predictions and made every wear their guess...bow or mustache (beau).

I also asked everyone to give us some name suggestions. We are sorta stuck on three :)

Zac + my baby shoes :) Those bottles were Zac's grandmother's. So neat!

TEAM BOY:

TEAM GIRL:

Cupcake reveal...

My mother in law really crying (because she didn't think it would be a boy) + my mom fake crying (because she wanted a girl). Haha.

It was so fun! :) I couldn't wait to tell everyone. It was hard keeping that secret for a week. I'm glad I got to tell everyone in person and see their reactions.
