Ready or not...

Baby #3 coming this July!

It took us a while to get pregnant with our last 2 kids, so when I had my IUD taken out last fall we decided not to prevent anything. And with this baby I got pregnant pretty quickly. The boys are over 3 years apart, which was great. This time around Jack will be just over 2. So I hope I can handle a new baby with my wild Jackie.

I've been really sick with this pregnancy. I keep thinking that maybe I was this sick with my boys and that the Lord just made me forget, but maybe it's a girl this time that's making me sicker.

I wanted boys in the past, but now I think I'm ready for a girl, especially when my boys are running around fighting and tackling me. And at 14 weeks the doctor is pretty sure it's a girl! I won't paint the room pink yet, but I'm getting excited. I would be fine with all boys, but I'm close with my mom and sisters and would love to have that with a daughter. And this might be my last chance because I don't know that I can handle more than 3 kids.

So wish me luck!

Stroller for $12

OK, so I got SO lucky the other day. I happened to be online and saw a post on a site I love, freebies2deals, for a new double jogging stroller on ebay for 12.99. It was sold by babies r us and regularly $189. I rushed over to ebay, bought it, and before I had a chance to tell everyone I know, the deal was gone. I was worried it was too good to be true, but today I got the shipping confirmation. How awesome is that. If I was smart, I would have ordered like 10, but I'm happy I got 1.

Master bath update

I've been wanting to do something with my master bath for a while. I found a shower curtain I liked and decided to paint the bathroom using the colors from the curtain. I still had some left over bead board and black from painting my kitchen cabinets, so I decided to use those. I bought grey paint for the walls and some new knobs and fixtures, so the whole project cost about $100.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I painted the cabinets black & put bronze knobs on. Then we painted the walls grey and added the white bead board. The medicine cabinet adds so much space so I don't have so much crap on my counter and the new bronze fixtures make it look nicer. So it was nothing spectacular, but I think it opens up the small bathroom and modernizes it.

I still need something on the cabinet and wall, and would eventually like to tile it, but this'll do for now.
