our lives lately...

The past couple weeks have been somewhat eventful for me;) I say me because Michael's life is always so. Law school keeps you alert.  

I learned a new crochet stitch from the sweetest lady named Anne.
This is the beginning of our baby's blanket;) 

We went to see MADEA! We are in love with her! Tyler Perry is such a wise man in so many ways.
 He always does a great job. We are so happy to have discovered him (thanks Steph and Brian!)
 So many great moments.
We were the minority at this event...it was awesome.  

UFC...getting harder for me to watch but I do love it still for some reason...

We went to the dentist and as I waited for Michael I found this lovely sugary recipe~!

my apron...

so I tried it...

first time I've ever used the ninja.  I'm in love.
I am also in love with watermelon granita!!!

...and this baby
29 weeks

And this ------->
crazy guy!:) 

trying to be creative...

 Michael wondered aloud to me one day if there is a phase of pregnancy that you go through that makes you want to destroy things.  I had no intention of destruction, just the opposite actually.  I wanted to create. 

So I cut up some clothes:/ (sorry mom)

 I knew that I wanted elephants, cute fabric, sweet art for our baby girl...I always want to type her name but that is one thing (aside from our families already knowing) that we would like to keep a surprise!

So here are her sweet elephants...

  

 And here is her elephant of a mama!

confession.

I came into the kitchen the other night at 9:00 P.M. to eat this...

When I discovered this...

baby crib.

Is it too early for the crib? It is only April...but she will be here before we know it! Right?;) One day I just said, "I want her crib, I want it here."
Michael Joe immediately agreed "yeah lets order it!"So we did! And here it is!!!!!!!!

so excited! 

I promise I helped a little bit more than these pictures show:) 

quite literally NONE of our furniture matches...anywhere in our apartment actually.
I love it. 

hot daddy!
