Life got busy, and I had forgotten to reveal Tucker's Nursery. So, without further ado, here's Tuck Tuck's nursery designed by Me!!!! It took me and hubby a while to find the perfect color for the nursery that we both liked. If you remember my previous blog post, we decided on Palladium Blue. It is the perfect seafoam blue-ish type of color. This color worked great. Below is a pic of the room

Since having little Tucker, I have realized how much the clothes in my closet suck...ahem... need some revamping.  I have been on the lookout for some new clothing/outfits. I am in need of several things and definitely some staple type pieces. When I am shopping,  sometimes it's difficult to determine if certain pieces can be used in a variety of ways. So, I have been

Hello All - Life has gone from zero to 60 every since our little baby boy, Tucker Louis, was born on Friday May 17th at 5:26pm. Here's Tucker's Birth Story: On Thursday, May 16th, I went in for my regular weekly doctor's appointment. The week before, my doctor told me that she did not think I would make it through the weekend, but lo and behold I did. Neither my doctor nor I could believe

As I think about all the changes in life that will be coming soon and the new chapter that hubby and I will be starting, I think it is great to look back and look forward. ONE YEAR AGO TODAY (May 2012) -- Hubby and I were planning and packing our bags for a vacation in Cancun. This is one of our FAVORITE vacation spots. We also began trying to conceive during this month as well.

The day we chose was sunny but very windy.We took tons of snacks, water and Gatorade. We went to Stewart Beach which is a family beach so no alcoholic drinks allowed (not that I could drink any anyway lol) We hung out for a few hours. I love being

We planned and booked a babymoon back in the 2nd trimester. When we booked it, hubby and I didn't realize that it was Easter weekend, but it was one our free weekends as all others were beginning to fill up. We decided to do a short getaway to San Antonio for 3 days. We love the Hyatt Regency on the Riverwalk. This was our 3rd time staying there. The last time we stayed there was in

My sisters, brother, and mom hosted a baby shower for me in my hometown. They invited family and friends. It was sort of a "surprise" shower, but they told me about it closer to the date. It was so NICE! It was  good intimate size. We had great food and lots of fun baby shower games. I had a great time and think every one else did too! Hubby and I were so very blessed to get some many

We finally said goodbye to "JIM" (my 2000 GMC Yukon). I had him since 2003. I purchased him with about 53k miles. Jim now had 192k miles on him. Yes, I put about 150k miles on him in about 10 years. Not bad!! Jim started giving me problems more and more and with a baby on the way Hubby was not going to let me get stranded on side the road with a baby. So, hubby searched online for months and

I've mentioned the plans for the nursery (aka the old workout room) before and have posted my inspiration board and some ideas that I have been mulling over for the room. Hubby and I came up with a budget for the stuff that we needed for the baby's room (not a big surprise we are budgeters and bargain shoppers). So far in the room we have: the crib, the mattress, the rocking chair/glider,

It is not maternity (so I can wear it later) and it is super comfy. The shirt is an oldie but goodie I threw on a thin belt from forever 21 to accentuate my belly bump.  Quick pic of me and hubby in the car before we got to the

We had a few friends come over to our house a couple of weeks before Christmas. Hubby and I thought that this would be a great time to revel the gender of the baby. We knew the gender for sometime because since I am age 35, I opted to get genetic disorder test done that checks for downs syndrome, etc. The new test is called MaterniT21 and is less evasive than having an amniocentesis or CVS test

When we first moved in our home back in 2009, we had already decided that the room that we currently use as a workout room would eventually become a nursery.

I think I may have started out around the 145 range pre-pregnancy. My doctor didn't seem concerned that I hadn't gain since the last appointment. She said the baby takes what it needs. So,
