WALL LETTERS!!!!

YAY!!!! There here, there here! Maddie's wall letters came in and you know I couldn't wait to put them up!!! Here are a few pictures...We also went on a little shopping spree for her and got tons of new outfits :) :)...too much fun at the Hickerson house ;).

PS: if you ever wonder just what photo is the 'true' green color of her walls -- its the first 2 photos :).

Just too Cute!

Look at her onsies we got in the mail today. They just turned out too cute! And, I have her working on the 'First thanksgiving' outfit -- Hope it works out ok hehe! One of these will be her hospital photo outfit - haha! YES, I am this person! :).

26 weeks....

and guess what? We're in the double digits now -- 98 days to go. wowza!
I don't have my 26 photo yet, but will have it later.

The closet doors are in and construction will start Wednesday - WOO HOO!!
I also got confirmation that her letters will be shipped this week - DOUBLE WOO HOO!

This past weekend I wanted to walk around a little, so I decided to go to target - twice ;). My first trip I decided to get travel size shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, deodorant, etc for my hospital bathroom bag. I also got Maddie matching caps, socks & mittens -- I couldn't resit. My second trip was all about Maddie, I got her the matching onsies from the first trip, some sleeper PJ's that I couldn't pass up b/c they were birds and a cute little outfit. It was too much fun ;). Oh, and I got some hangers...now just need to buy clothes so I can use them- hee hee!

Oh, exciting news...We bought our tickets to see Jeff Dunham at first yell! WOO HOO! We are HUGE Jeff Dunham fans, so we can't wait!


Ok, yes the belly is looking pretty big here, but what can i do about it :)



The doors are HERE YAYAYAYAY!!!




From my target visits this past weekend


and all the rest of her clothes :)

25 weeks and lots of countdowns!

We're 25 weeks today....that means Maddie will be here in:
105 days or 3 months, 1 weeks and 6 days or 15 weeks -- choose your countdown :).

Can't believe we're already at 25 weeks - crazy how time has flown by. I've attached my 25 week photo, but I do look a little bit 'larger' than I really am -- I know it has to do w/the tops I wear. What can I say? I don't like tight fitting clothes!

We also got 2 monogrammed burp cloths in the mail today and they are SOOO cute!

Hopefully her closet doors will be in this week and they can start on her closet - I'm super excited about this project :).

Not sure what I'm missing - we're just getting the house together each weekend and preparing for her arrival.

Here's the pics:



The other rags are from cousin Mandy & Family -- they came in today too, so I thought I'd put them in the picture :).

24 weeks! 6 months!

We've made it to 6 months! Woo Hoo! In the heat of the summer at that. Although, it's not too bad for me since I'm inside all day, but when I have to leave and get into my car - whew ~~~ it's hot!

Here we are at 24 weeks!



and here is her changer complete!! I love love love the baskets and they are so cute in her room!!

New Office/Game Room/Everything Room

So, we've been working hard with trying to figure out where the heck to put all of Brant's computer stuff. We decided to turn the current 'office' into the everything room. We got a new desk - HUGE desk I might add, had the bed and we're adding in the flat screen, the xbox and his computer soon. Here are some before pictures when we first moved in and what it looks like now :)

NOW




The new desk




and the 'game room area' -- I'm still enjoying the flat screen in the bedroom for a few more months ;)

Too Cute!

We got Maddie's bow holder in the mail today! It's sooooo cute - here's a picture of it along with another photo of her diaper bag, which I love!

23 1/2 weeks

Hard to believe I will be 6 months next week. We're 23 1/2 weeks - my belly keeps GROWING! I read she will double in size within the next 4 weeks -- oh my, how much bigger can I get? I guess there is only [almost] 3 months to go! BUT, whew -- I sure I'll make it just fine ;).

Here's the 23 weeks photo (I have to admit I look a little bigger in this photo than I really am) :)....Hope to have some new photos coming soon. Should get more baskets, a personalized hair bow holder and a few other things - can't wait!

The nursery is almost complete and I'm so excited! I have been tempted to change the wall color numerous times, but my BFF Amy has talked me through it in the best way she knows how :). Enjoy

Happy 4th of July!

second part of the July 4th celebrations! 4th of July dinner was awesome. The food was great, the company even better and who can forget the dog races :). It was an awesome night! Here are a few pics... (PS: the pics are a bit too large and get cut off) :(.















It's Tinkerbelle :)

Almost complete!

The dresser is DONE! YAY! We love it and Brant did an amazing job! Once an old green dresser, is now a dark espresso dresser that matches the crib and changer perfectly. We're super excited to have this project complete, now the nursery is 1/2 there!

Enjoy the photos...
