Baby Is On Its Way

Elizabeth is in the middle of having some serious contractions right now. She gave me permission to post and let you all know that the baby is on its way. The contractions started around 7:30 P.M. and the time is 2:31 A.M. and she has been working really hard. She has been extremely calm and strong. I know you all will keep her in you prayers. There should be some pictures coming really soon!!

40 Weeks!

My due date is here! Can't wait to see what happens next! :) Its snowing buckets outside and I am so thankful to be nestled in warmly with my family. My mom and sister made delicious homemade graham crackers today. Perfect with a cup of tea to dip them in :) I am very glad I made Marie take a picture of me at 40 weeks. Although it took a lot to find one I liked :P Im not used to seeing myself so pregnant! We don't have a lot of mirrors, so I was pretty shocked to see me so BIG! :)

Happy Friday everyone~

Valentines Season!!!

I am enjoying this month of February so much already! No baby yet, still walking around with a basketball. :) My mom is currently down to help me with the birth. After we have spent a couple of days catching up we have been to Hobby Lobby a couple times and are attempting making baby bags, Valentines cards and jewelry! Now that is if I don't go into labor anytime we can get all these fun things done LOL! I can't wait to post the beautiful baby bag that my mom is sewing for me!

My Benjamin will be here as soon as Itty Bitty decides to come. :) Which we are hoping will be any day now!

I hope everyone is looking forward to this beautiful Valentines season as I am :) I am getting a lovely Valentine in the shape of a baby :P

Nesting

The feeling of nesting has been hitting me more and more lately. Now that Marie and I have organized and rearranged her house I am left wanting to do more. I can't wait to be able to do up my own home soon. So while I am feeling this way and not being able to apply it anywhere at present, I found some inspirational pictures of chandeliers. The little place that we are getting (Lord willing everything goes through) has a beautiful chandelier in the dinning area. I am so excited to see it in person. Its not as grand as the ones in these pictures, but it is very nice. Benjamin has sent me a few pictures of our little place and I am trying to arrange in my mind where all of our furniture will go. Once we are all settled in our new place, which may be awhile yet, I will post pictures! And to help satisfy myself I am nesting over these inspiring ones! :)

Nutella...

I let out a squeal of delight when I found this hiding in the very back

of the coffee and tea cabinet! Who needs bread or fruit when there are spoons! :P

National Tea Month

Out of inspiration from Blessed Femina and Marie's posts on National Tea Month. And since I don't have my own beautiful lovelies about me at present I have decided to post on a certain collection;

~Catherine the Great~

Catherine the Great is a delightful collection and the love has passed down from my Grandma Ginny, my Mom and to my sister and I. It is not common to see this set sold in stores. My mom loves to help build my grandma's collection by buying a new tea cup every year for Christmas. When my parents and sister ventured over to Russia they were determined to locate a Catherine the Great tea set. They were able to bring back some beautiful sets at a much more affordable price! They surprised me and gave me a little set for a wedding present to my DELIGHT! All us girls guard this china with our life! But we still manage to use it on a semi regular basis ;)
