15 Weeks

I feel like we have accomplished SO much this week. First, let me share a picture from week 15!

 

Can I please tell you what I am doing right now? Because I feel like the happiest girl in the world. It is 60 degrees and sunny and it's a Saturday and I am not working!! I stayed in bed until 9 this morning, got up, ate breakfast, went for an hour walk and decided I wanted to do the weekly blog post from our back deck because it's gorgeous outside and I've been dying for some Fall weather and I'm finally getting a glimpse of it and trying to soak every bit up!  More importantly however; I found out last week that.... dum dum dum... 

The pumpkin spice latte is back at Starbucks!! For those who don't know, this is absolutely one of my most favorite drinks of all time AND it's one of the BEST things about Fall. For limited time (I think until after Thanksgiving?), Starbucks sells the oh' so delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte. Well. A few weeks went by and I was SO sad seeing the signs for this drink everywhere and seeing Facebook posts about this drink. I mean, I'm pregnant. I can't drink lattes, they have espresso in them. WELL. On a whim, I went into Starbucks one morning and asked the lovely barista "I have a silly question for you. You wouldn't be able to make the pumpkin spice latte... decaf? right?" And she said.... "Yes!"  YESSS..... MUSIC TO MY PREGNANT EARS. I was so happy. I know, how silly is that? But I was going to be very upset going through this entire season without having one.  SO... right now. I am on my 

back deck typing this blog sipping on my amazing decaf soy milk pumpkin spice latte. I am a HAPPY girl right now.

This week we marked one of the biggest things off our "to do" list.  BABY FURNITURE. Woohoo!! Here is the picture of our baby room pre... pre.... anything really. It's been empty since we moved in :)

I know... it's so bare and sad.

But don't you worry, we have a DELIVERY!

We are now the proud owners of... A crib, a dresser/changing table, a book case, and a lamp! Woohoo!! They are all "antique white" and I love them. I'm so excited. 

Right now, nothing is set up in the room - We are wanting to paint the room so nothing really can be set until we do that.  My sweet mom and sister went this week and picked out fabric for us and I got all the samples in last night. I have been anticipating this all week and am SO excited to share. My wonderful mother-in-law is going to make our curtains and one of my moms best friend is going to make all of our bedding, etc. SO... Here are the samples ... and I separated them into three groups. My favorite is the middle group which I believe is what we are going to use.... just I don't know how we will use each fabric yet.... What do you think?!!?

(these are our favorite!)

Any ideas or suggestions are always greatly appreciated :)

I have felt really great this week. The only thing that ever really hits is sometimes I'll be fine and then all of a sudden, a wave of tiredness will roll over me and I literally feel like I could fall asleep at that very moment. My eyes get heavy and I yawn a lot. But, I've heard that is normal. 

Baby Shelor received a few goodies this week I'd like to share! On Tuesday we got a package in the mail of the most sweet stationary I had ever seen. I mean, it's so cute. But there was no note, no order form - nothing! It looked like something my sister would do at first so I called her. She led me straight to the source. Marmi (my mom). Mom wants to be here with me so bad experiencing all of this and it really does break my heart that I can't be near them. I wish my whole family could pick up and move from Memphis to Charlotte but I know that's not going to happen. I don't want to cry so I'm just going to share the pictures of the stationary. I mean, come on.. how adorable is this??

Baby Shelor LOVES their new note cards. We can't wait to send thank you notes!!

Another gift we received this week was from our neighbors Niki and Brady and their girls who keep showering us with all these wonderful presents - I told them to stop doing so many nice things for us, but the stuff they keep giving us is so cute I'm having a hard time telling them that! How hilarious is this??

I know this was a long blog post, but like I mentioned  - a lot happened this week! Thank you for reading! This is such a fun thing for me to do. I'm praying I can continue to stay on top of it as things get more busy with this season and holidays, etc.

See you next week!

xoxo,
