IT'S A BOY!!!

I meant to post Friday but we have been crazy busy trying to get Brandon ready for deployment so a few days late but all the same meet Brady!

(I have no idea why it turned this way and I can't get it to turn, sorry)


They gave us some 3D photos but since our little man has no fat on him it was a little scary looking, this is the most normal one

Brady's bedding

I had it all planed out for a girl and just like Brandon said I was counting my eggs before they hatched...BUT I'm completely okay with having another boy. Everyone and I mean everyone as soon as I or Brandon told them we were having a boy asked if I'm okay. I'm stoked that we are having a healthy baby and that is all that matters.

So onto the fun stuff, I haven't fallen in love with any bedding or anything for a boy and today finally I found one that I had seen almost a year ago and has been sold out since and guess what...today it was in stock so it was ordered!

For your viewing pleasures


FYI I'm not loving the quilt so I ordered the bumper and sheet only for right now, I'll eventually get the bedding skirt, curtains and changing pad cover which will give us a great starting point for the nursery

What Brandon and I couldn't do

Brandon and I have no painting talent and we are more of rush, rush since we have limited time together and painting isn't how we really like to spend it, so my Dad came to the rescue and painted the downstairs in 2 weeks! Here are some of the before and after pictures of the downstairs

Best part of it all was when Brandon said y'all made it a home!
