Jingle bell jingle bell rock...

Oh yes it's that time of the year again. One we were celebrate by eating, drinking and being merry. Oh and we give presents and decorate and drink hot cocoa !!! Sense how much I love Christmas time? Normally Mr. B and I put up two and half tree. Yes a half, because we have a small Nightmare before Christmas Tree we put up too. But this year this is the only tree that will be up because of the anticipation of our babe's arrival. (Babies have a lot of items and we need room). We picked the white tree only to be set up this year because of it's location, next year it's back to business as usual.

And well, with Christmas time comes Christmas cards. I wasn't even going to do this at all this year but I figured it was my last time to make a card. Next year I think we will put the babe's gorgeous face on it, like most proud parents do !

As always a select few gets them. I don't think these 18 people realize just how darn lucky they are !!!!

Not my best work but hey, I had to work with what I had, including a large 38 week month belly !

And a little personalization =) Always BB made

So do you make cards? Do you send cards? Do you send picture cards? Do you love this year or what? I'd love to hear what others do too, so please feel free to leave me a little comment love !

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...
