Jackson's Bedding


A few weeks ago my mom bought me an amazing gift; Jackson's bedding!! I absolutely love it. Since a lot of people have asked me to describe it, I thought it would be best to just post it on the blog. The colors that best accent it are baby blue and a grayish blue. The dark color in the print is a very deep blue. I'm doing white furniture with light brown walls and a white chair rail. I can't wait to decorate his nursery!

June Updates

This picture was taken on Father's Day. Exciting since it was Matthew's very first! I made him French Toast for breakfast and he opened all his cards and gifts. He worked on homework all day while I visited my Granddad and Stephen. Later and we joined my Dad for dinner at Bonefish.As of tomorrow I'll be 26 weeks. I've felt great lately. 2 weeks ago I began feeling better and everyday I seem to have more energy. Aside from the carpel tunnel I now apparently have in my wrist and the 90 degree heat we've been having, all is well. All my doctor's visits have been going smoothly so far. Normal test results and Jackson is developing perfectly. Our next ultrasound is July 17th. I can't wait to see him again! Here is what Baby Gaga has to say about Jackson's development this week.
Fetal development in pregnancy week 26:
Fetus in sixth month.
At long last, your little swimmer can see the womb! Your miracle’s little eyelids have finally separated (they were fused closed previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or watching Oprah or something). In addition to seeing their little studio in your belly, they’ve recently acquired the ability to say “yes” and “no” in rudimentary sign language as they can now move their head back and forth. This is also the time where your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow! A cute little cowlick or two may be springing into position right now, getting ready for years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Also, their toenails have grown in and you little raisin continues to slowly pile up fat beneath their still-loose skin. Most importantly, brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity and will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first seven to eight years of childhood!

Our hardwood floors!!

As I said in an earlier post, our downstairs recently got new hardwoods! Matthew spent an entire weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday installing these beautiful floors. A GREAT big thanks to my dad and Tim who spent the majority of their weekends assisting my hubby. Marshall, thanks for pitching in also! I think they look FANTASTIC!!!!! If you look closely at the mantle you can see Matthew's Father's Day cards. He was so grateful that people thought of his on his very first "Daddy-to-Be" Day.

Jackson's New Bathroom

While Matt was hard at work on our floors, (they look great, I will post some pictures soon) I decided I needed a project of my own to do. I found some SUPER CUTE bathroom decor at Target. I love the bright colors and rubber ducky theme. The soap dispenser even makes cute little quacking noises when you push the button on the bottom! Thanks Mom and Stephen for my cute little Beanie Baby ducks! Thanks Diana, Tony and Ty for the Rubber Ducky baby bath.
I think Jackson is going to LOVE his bathroom. At least his mommy and daddy do!
