Project Nursery

We decided we better get started on Baby Taylee's nursery! I have no theme and no clue really what I am doing! Luckily I have talent in the family so I love hearing there Ideas and really owe a huge thanks to my Mom and Sister for all there help so far.

This is Taylee's room when we bought our house. A Huge Mess. Tearing down the wall paper was probably the worse part, and we could not get all the glue of the wall. My Mom and sister came over while me and Jason were gone for our anniversary and they texturized the wall and painted it and it looks so good! You cant even tell there was wall paper glue all over it!

I had a bigger dresser that is identical to this, I just didnt take a picture of it before we painted it.

Its kind of hard to tell in the pictures but we painted it an Ivory and then glazed it and added the designes in the middle of the drawer. We still need to buy the rest of the Knobs and put them on, I was just waiting until they went on sale! I really like how it turned out!

See that ugly light that was in our dining room, it has to be as old as the house and We have wanted to throw it out but just havent gotten around to it! I am glad we didnt throw it out because we took it down and spray painted it and it looks so cute now! this will be going in her Nursery as well.

My parents bought us this Pottery Barn Glider from Down East that I love

It didnt come with the Cushions so we figured we would just get on Pottery Barn and order some. Wrong! They want $300.00 just for cushions that is more then the chair cost, so one of the next projects will be to make the cushions, I should say my mom will probably be making most of the cushions because I havent used a sewing Machine since Jr High when I had to make a pillow case for a class, but hopefully I can learn again!


Thats all for now!  I am excited to get everything put together and for more projects for her room! I go in her room all the time and just sit in the chair and it makes me so excited that she will be here in a few months!

Its a Girl!

Our little baby is a girl! We actually couldn't wait any longer and went to Fetal Fotos a few weeks ago and they said it was a girl. We all thought it was a boy, well everyone but my sister in law and my dad so we were shocked, but excited. I started to get a little nervous after I started buying stuff because my niece kept telling me it was a boy, even when I told her she was a girl she would say No its a boy! We had our big ultrasound and they confirmed it was a girl and that Every thing looks great! She is measuring a few days a head of schedule!

Were in trouble! Here is her Shoe collection already (photo from my phone so its not the clearest!)

Here is the Belly at 20 Weeks!

So far Pregnancy has been pretty good!
I felt pretty sick the first 17 weeks and now am starting to feel much better with the ocasional headache and heartburn! I felt her move for the first time at about 14 weeks and she is getting pretty active. Jason got to feel her move for the first time last week, It is such a cool feeling! I am always Hungry and trying to get full in the morning is the hardest. I am still tired but cant sleep in past 7 or I have a massive Headache. Our baby girl thinks my bladder is her squeeze toy! I cant believe we only have about 19 weeks left! We are so thankful for this opportunity and are so glad that so far she his Healthy!

4th of July Weekend

We had a very fun weekend, lots of family time and we absolutely loved it!

Friday night Jason had a soft ball game and I went to the Wizard of Oz play with my sister and Niece.

It had a little bit of a slow start but it was still fun and Avery loved it, she was so worried it was going to be over so she kept saying its not over, and that she wanted it to come back. She also loved the witch for some reason!

On the 4th of July we went to the Kaysville parade. I was shocked when Jason told me he had never been! My family came to even though they live in Utah county they still consider Kaysville home. 

After the parade we went to The movie Transformers everyone said it was good but I couldn't tell you because I fell asleep several times throughout the move. Pregnancy will do that to you! 

Later that Night we went to My aunts house for fire works. 

Clint and Jason Making there own fire work!

The Babe!

Yes Were Pregnant and so excited! Baby Erickson is due November 26 2011 and we cant wait!! Jason calls it a him or he, and is positive it is a boy, i guess we will find out! I really dont care if its a boy or a girl as long as the babe is healthy! I am just happy to be prego! After what the Dr called a chemical pregnancy last summer I knew I wanted to be pregnant and was ready for it. Once I went off the pill I was in constant pain all the time, the Dr told me It was probably endometriosis and that we should try and get pregnante but it didn't look so good... I went home and did my research and found Dr Arrington who specializes in endometriosis i knew i needed to switch Dr's, so after Talking to Dr Arrington we decided not to wait and just to do the surgery to remove it. I did have endometriosis and the Surgery was a success. I couldn't believe how much better I felt and a short time after Here we are!
This is our baby at  8 weeks! we got to see and hear the heart beat. So amazing!

This is our baby at 12 weeks! I cant believe how much the baby has changed and grown! It was moving all over the place, I couldn't feel it but it was cool to see. It also was waiving!

The first picture is just a side shot you can see its leg, it almost looks like it is squished in there!




The second picture is when the baby was waiving




The third picture is a shot of its leg.

We got a lot of pictures at this last appointment, and its so fun to see!


















Its so hard to picture what are kids are going to look like! We were total opposites!


ME

And Jason

So far if its a boy we like the names Korver and Bronson and if its a girl we like Reese, Taylee, and Blakelee (not sure of the spelling) These could very easily change but these are on the top of the list for now!


We love you Baby Erickson!!

Spring is near!

Which brings yard work! I actually havent done anything but Jason came home from work one night and was really excited to rip out the ugly bushes in our front yard. I called him Mr. Clean that day because he tore out the bushes and then came in the house and started to clean and organize things!

Do you thing we need to make a trip to the dump?! 

We also went Hiking up Farmington Canyon. We took Ace which probably looked really funny hiking with a little house dog, he didn't last long and would just lay down so we went to the Lagoon trail, thats more his style!!

One of my Favorite things

I am loving this weather! Today after Church we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go on a walk. I love taking walks with Jason.  Ace has never been on a leash before and at first he was freaking out and we had to pull him. He is getting the hang of it, and I hope this good weather sticks around!



Ace really did not want to walk- We pulled him most of the way

Updates

Most of our Friday Nights are spent supporting my little brother and going to his Basketball games. It is actually really fun and its so funny to see what chants, props, posters the fans come up with. His team is doing really good and they have only lost one game.

Superbowl sunday is always a success. I love all the food and always eat more then I should. This year we went to my parents they had Chili dogs, Chick Filea nuggets, relish tray, shrimp, CPK pizza, chips and dips, cheesecake, and so much more. While the boys watched the game the girls worked on some crafts. My sister made a really cute pillow and I made canvas pictures .

I have had my eye on a Table for about a month. I decided not to get it and to continue to look around. I just never found one that I loved. So I went and bought the first one that I really liked. For those of you who havent been to Osmmond Design you really need to go! It is amazing. When I went to get my table I found a couch and a chair that I love. I know I dont need it right now but I cant stop thinking about how cute it would look in my house.. This store is amazing! I still need to find some different stuff to put on the table but I needed to decorate it the second I brought it home so this is it for now.

Thats about all that is going on in the Erickson home! We are both busy with work and still doing little projects around the house. Its finally starting to look and feel like a home, I hated all the mess from the remodel!
