Finally, an update!!

Obviously, I am a horrible, pathetic blogger!! So, today I have decided to add some highlights of the past oh, 6 months or so. Sorry if it's a lot of stuff spewed out at once. I figure it's a good thing to do while I sit here waiting for this little guy to make his appearance in the world! He is due September 14th, so we are getting very excited to see him and have him join our family. The pregnancy to this point has been good overall. But it wouldn't be pregnancy without some complications, right!? We are making it through and still just feel very blessed to have a sweet baby boy coming to us!

So, I have been a horrible picture taker as well during this pregnancy. I need to round up pictures from everyone else from this summer and things we've done. So for now here's just a few. This first one is of my sister Deborah and I at my baby shower in Utah. Jannae threw me a shower with lots of family and friends in Utah and my mom and several of my sisters were able to be there too. Deborah was there for Michigan for a family reunion, which was awesome! The shower was so much fun and we got some very nice things for the baby. The shower was just the kick off to a really fun week. We had the first Scott family reunion, which was a lot of fun. Everyone in Jason's family was there, but our sister in law Shawna. Hopefully next time she will be able to make it! We spent lots of time together and made some great memories camping, taking family pictures, and playing lots of games!! We can't wait for the next one!




Thanks Aunt Denise, Jena, and Jeni for the adorable diaper cake!! I loved it, and I'm sure the diapers will come in very handy here real soon!

Right before our Utah trip, we moved to a two bedroom apartment so we have more room for the baby. Once we got home, we got to work on the nursery. We painted the room "bibbity bobbity blue", which we thought turned out pretty cute.


We also purchased our crib and dresser set, which we love!! Jason had fun and was excited to set it up. He did a great job, and it is all coming together nicely!

Here's the final result:



We also painted a green accent wall in the living room and got new curtains. Jason did a great job of putting them up! It makes the apartment feel more like home and adds some variety! We've had fun getting the new place all in order before the baby comes.


Here's a couple random pictures of me last week. They are not my favorite, but everyone keeps telling me I have to post a couple...so here ya go, unfortunately, they are the best we have!
My belly kinda blends in with the armoire in this one...


This was just a little sewing project I had fun with last week. It's a grocery bag holder/dispenser. I've been wanting to make it for a while now and I was excited with how it turned out for not being much of a seamstress!!
This was me a couple of weeks ago after Jason brought home my awesome rocker/recliner!!! I am so excited about it and love it already! It's so comfy and will be great for rocking the baby. It helps me sleep now too, so it's great!!

Like I said before, sorry about all the random updates. I hear people become better bloggers once they have kids...so we shall see. (I'm not quite sure how being busier with a new baby will help, but I'm sure I will want to share all of my cute pictures with everyone!)
