Nursery Pictures for Britt!

My sister has been asking and asking for me to post a picture of the nursery. We set up the crib and the dresser tonight and I finally took a couple of pictures. We still have some work to do but here it is!

Daily Battle

As I have complained numerous times on this blog, I am having a really hard time with this pregnancy thing. I am so excited to meet our daughter but it hasn't been easy for me. The morning sickness started right at week 4. I found out I was pregnant on a Thursday and started throwing up on Sunday. I should have been prepared, my sister was pretty sick with 2 of her pregnancies and my mom was sick with all three of us. I have pretty much gotten used to the puking (if you can ever really get used to it). I worry about my teeth but hopefully the dentist can help me out after she is born. I think one of my biggest frustrations is my daily battle with food. It is so hard for me to find something to eat. If I don't eat, I am sick, if I do eat I am sick but not as bad. Poor Aaron has had to endure countless battles of what are we going to eat today? I don't know how he survives living with me. There have been lots of tears and Aaron has to just laugh because it is pretty pathetic that I cry because I don't know what to eat. I am looking forward to the day that food sounds and tastes good again. I am hoping I will one day be able to look at saltines again without feeling my stomach turn. We have about 4 months to go and it is encouraging that I have made it more than halfway. I am pretty lucky, I have been pretty healthy and our baby is healthy. That is all that really matters, that she is healthy and happy. We are still waiting for Aaron to be able to feel her kick, I think it will be soon as I am getting bigger every day. Thanks for listening to me complain!

Failed Miserably

This would be me completely failing at helping Aaron. He ended up doing 99.99% of the work on the nursery while I stood around holding a paint roller and attempting to be helpful. The room looks so cute. Aaron did such a good job. We only have a few more things to do in there and then the paint will be done. I will post pictures once we get the carpet in and finally buy a crib. I am having such issues about buying a crib. I don't know why, I just can't make a decision and stick to it. Anyway, I will post pictures soon.

Nursery today!

We are painting the nursery today! I am so excited. W emptied out the room and ripped up the carpet last night. We are replacing the carpet when we lay carpet in the basement. We are painting pink, brown and green. I don't know how much help I will be but I am going to try my best not to let Aaron do all the work! He is so amazing. He keeps the house from falling apart. He had carpal tunnel surgery just 3 weeks ago and he hasn't even let it slow him down. He has been working like crazy to finish the basement, he cleaned out the garage, and he keeps me sane. Thanks babe. I will post some pictures when we finish!

The Mother Load

While in Idaho this weekend Brittney let us go through all of Brooklyn's old clothes. I like to call it hitting the motherload! This child will have so many clothes she won't be able to wear them all more than once. Most of the clothes look brand new. Brooklyn grew so fast she barely wore them. We are so grateful that she was willing to let us have them all. Thanks Britt!

Are you ready for some football?

We had a busy weekend last weekend. We got to watch Devan play football. I was so impressed with how well he played. He is the quarterback. His team worked hard and played well together and they kicked the other team's butts.

Anna and Ammie

While visiting my sister and her family this weekend we spent lots of time with our niece Brooklyn. She has always loved Aaron. They have such a fun relationship. She calls Aaron "Anna" and she calls me "Ammie". All weekend long Anna and Brooklyn played. First thing in the morning she would come down to see him. Aaron misses her and hopes we can see her soon.

Fun Weekend

Last weekend we went to see our new nephew. Sam Charles Berry. He is the sweetest thing ever. I feel bad that we are a terrible aunt and uncle and we didn't really get a good picture of him. Next time we see him we will be taking lots of pictures!
