Today started out kind of blah, but this evening has been great! Aaron and I went to another baby-check up today. I now weigh 156 pounds. Blood pressure is great. Baby’s weight, and heartbeat are perfect. I now will begin seeing the Dr. every week until I deliver.

When we got home, Aaron and I went to pick up an antique highchair that we found on Craigslist for cheap. It is a Pulaski Keepsakes Solid Oak High Chair. You wouldn’t find this type of highchair in Walmart or Target. It is exactly what I’ve been looking for! And this highchair was right in town! It was only minutes away! What luck!

Look at the detail!

But the BEST part is getting to meet the woman who sold it to us. I LOVE how God works!!! Her name is Shelia, and she is an extremely talented photographer of She Designs Photography! I have been a fan of her work for awhile! And Aaron and I got to meet her! As you know from my previous blog post, photography is my obsession, and is also fast becoming Aaron’s obsession, too. So as you can imagine, I was SO excited to meet Shelia! Sure, we talked about the highchair for a little bit, but our conversation with her quickly turned to photography! :) She is so sweet! She gave us advice and suggestions on photography lenses, and she also told us about Kip May who offers photography classes here in town! I just loved meeting her. We got a beautiful highchair, and met a wonderful woman. We are now Facebook friends, and I’ll try my best not to bombard her with too many photography questions! :)

Oh, I forgot to mention, Shelia has had that highchair for 30 years! And it was sitting in the same spot in her home for that long! Now that Shelia and I are friends on Facebook, she won’t have time to miss her highchair because as soon as Faith is big enough to sit in it, I will be snapping pictures! I think it’s pretty cool that she can continue to see her highchair being put to use after 30 years of having it :)

God meant for us to have that highchair, and meet Shelia! It turned out to be a perfect day! ♥

My old dolls and Week 27!

sherryae76March 25, 2012September 6, 2012

It has been a very busy, but productive weekend. We bought a new Dyson DC25 vacuum, I did some housecleaning, hubby mowed the lawn and tilled the back part of our yard in preparation for some wildflower seeds, and I finally started getting some baby things put away in the baby room.

I moved a dresser into the baby’s room, hung up a few pictures, and started putting away the many baby hand-me-downs I’ve received already. Next, I went into my garage and pulled out my old Cabbage Patch Kid doll, and some other old dolls and teddy bears. I even have a vintage Baby Alive doll, and Ronald McDonald doll :) I will soon take pictures once the baby room is complete!

Week 27 belly pic!

My belly looks square. It looks like I swallowed a cardboard box.

Next week I will officially be in my 3rd trimester!

Cribs, $50, my Aunt Judy, and week 25!

sherryae76March 9, 2012September 6, 2012

Aaron and I went looking at cribs this past week. Most of the cribs we looked at were way over priced and very flimsy, wobbly, and just cheaply made. Babiesrus is WAY over-priced! I don’t recommend shopping there. We looked at Buy Buy Baby, Walmart, Kmart, and finally Target. We finally found a good sturdy crib for an ok price at Target.

Before we went crib shopping, we stopped at a gas station to get a snack. Aaron found a $50 bill on the floor! I used it to buy a new pair of maternity pants :)

I think the baby had a growth spurt. I’ve recently been feeling more round ligament pain. My feet and ankles are starting to swell. Actually everything under my knees looks swollen. I need to buy some compression socks. I can’t seem to catch my breath very easily, either. It sort of feels like when I was in Colorado on our Honeymoon at Loveland Pass, 12,000 feet up!

My Aunt Judy sent me a surprise package in the mail. Look! Look! …
