"they say it's your birthday..."

Well it was my birthday too ! I've been away from the web since about Friday afternoon because I needed to de-stress and relax. My b'day weekend was awesome and boring all in one. How that is possible, I'll never know. I felt like I had lots to do all weekend but on my actual b'day, it slowed down a bit. All in all it was awesome. Got to spend lots of time with people who I love. Can not complain. So wanna see what I got ???? Here goes !

Here is one gift from my love ;) Super fun house plant. He also made me a fancy dinner, bought me some magazines (which is rare for me since everything is digital these days), some lotions and some other treasures that are not for the internet eyes ;)

This one was a gift to myself... $4.00 dress from my fave thrift store = score !

Love these, from my sister and her fam...

These lil guys came from her too. They are wine glass markers ! So cute

These next gifts were from my mom and pop. Love them !

Awesome new tea cup to start my collection

A sugar and creamer

A covered sugar bowl

A cheese server...

Awesome cheese markers made from old forks !

My oldest sister made me a cake. Notice there are no pics of it ??? Yea it's gone =). Red Velvet, so good ! And my friend got me a beautiful necklace.

Oh yes and this fabulous apron and oven mitt, from my sis in law and bro in law. She knows me well, Anthro all the way ! LOVE IT. Her card was one of my favorites too.

And today I went back to work to find a card on my desk and Hershey bar from another friend who knows my sweet tooth well. Really sweet.

Thanks for looking, I am truly blessed. You know what they say, another year older and wiser...

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!! It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go. This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches. It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room, was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of...

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

My pregnancy and birth story

As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight. Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of...
