Dr. Seuss.... bit of a brainstorm

I live in a 2 bedroom house, so obviously the 2nd bedroom will soon become a baby/child's room. I've been trying to figure out what I wanted to do in there as far as decorating goes. I don't want to do anything elaborate or expensive since children grow and develop there own tastes and preferences. But I want to do something that I love to walk into. So, today, something prompted me to look up Dr. Seuss baby rooms. And after looking and looking at all the amazing ways people decorate in Dr. Seuss, I tentatively settled on this one.

Its more than Dr. Seuss. I'd like it better without Dr. Seuss. I just love the stripes, wacky angles, the colors, and the simplicity. Its bright, but muted. Actually, if I turned on my creative switch, I could  make the blankets, the diaper holder, and the curtains.

I also thought about pictures with cute Dr. Seuss quotes in them like

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."

I also love this idea













And something like this.

So what do you think? Does anybody have any simple creative ideas for this type of theme?

The Weekend

We got to go visit our family this weekend! Since I got married, Visits "home" are rather rare, and always looked forward to. My mom was my best friend for years, and I get to missing our long talks and jokes that only the two of us would understand. 
Usually, Jason and I leave our house on Friday, and then leave Mom and Dads on Saturday. So its a quick, overnight trip that tends to get stressful trying to juggle our time between my and family, and his family, plus any social events that happen to be going on that weekend.
BUT this weekend! We left Friday, and didn't come back home until Sunday afternoon. Which gave us a WAY more relaxed visit. After visiting Jason's family on Friday and Saturday morning, we went to my parents place and spent the evening, and the next Sunday morning with them. Actually, I should say "I" spent Sunday morning with them. My poor hubby came down sick Saturday evening and wasn't able to get out of bed until the trip home. Anyway... It was so nice to spend time with family, just relaxing, talking, joking, watching movies, etc. I Love my family. :D
Besides just visiting family,  Jason's uncle was holding 2 meetings promoting the Young Living Essential Oils and since Jason and I have recently begun using essential oils, we wanted to go and learn more about them.
   All in all we had a great time other than Jason getting sick. I actually had to drive home, which is HUGE! My driving scares Jason so usually if he's in the car, he drives. :D

Blog Change name.

I decided to change the name of this blog. why?

"The baby bumps" made me think of bumps in the road. And that made me feel like all I could blog about was the bad things about being pregnant which nobody want to read about, right? And besides, now that the morning sickness is over, I really can't find all that much bad about being pregnant. :D I'm getting quite a little baby bump, several new stretch marks, and actually managing to keep up with the house and dishes. And I have been way more active actually finding myself walking back and forth from the anchor and the cotton gin. And.... I got on the scale this morning.  I've only gained 2 lbs since I quit throwing everything up. Yay!
It feels so good to feel good!!
God is so good.
I feel so blessed.

A sweet memory given by my Mom.

I remember my Mom listening to this song when she was about 7 months pregnant I think. Ever since I heard it, (though I never told her) I have looked forward to marrying, and carrying my own baby, so that I could experience this song in my own life. It is such a sweet sappy song. :) (Thats prolly why my mom was crying over it at 7 months pregnant btw. :D)
I just love great memories. :D

First Prenatal Appointment

I had my first prenatal appointment this week and got to hear our baby's heart beat! My midwife was able to find it right away and it was so thrilling to hear a sign of life from within. I am so happy!
   I have been feeling much better the last few days. Tired, but at least not sick. I am beginning to get used to being tired though. It never ends. :D
   My sister is here to visit me for the week and we've been having fun. Having her here has actually motivated me to get active again and we went for a walk this morning before the weather got to warm. Whew! Am I out of shape! It is my goal to stay active during my pregnancy to hopefully avoid any excess baby weight. Or at least a lot of it. Probably doesn't help that my sis and I made chocolate chip cookies today either, or that they are perfectly matched with the gallon of milk I have in the refridgerator. Mmmmm. Need to go get some. Night!!
