Operation Nursery: Complete!

Chuck and I finally finished the nursery. I'm so excited to show you all pictures of it. Since this room is also still our guestroom/memorabilia room with Chuck's Auburn baseball stuff, we decided to make Owen's nursery have an "Auburn-ish" feel to it. Hope you all like it! ... Oh, and yes, there are a couple Gator things (at least it is all orange and blue)!


















The picture of the little Auburn baseball jersey is what Owen will be wearing when we take him home from the hospital. We are going to frame it along with some pictures and put it in between Chuck's framed jerseys.

Here's a picture of me when I was 32 weeks.

Getting things ready for baby Owen

Last Monday our stroller, the Quinny Buzz 4, came in. It was a nice way to start the week. I have been anticipating the arrival of it for a while now. :) I keep telling Chuck I might practice using it by taking Tyson for a stroll around the neighborhood. He isn't liking the idea too much. :)

Our baby bedding also came in the first of the week. We LOVE it! Our good friend, Beth, suggested the company we ordered from to us, and we couldn't be happier. We got to custom design it and everything.

This weekend we also started working on some nursery decor. We spent a good hour in Michaels picking out wood letters and other wood pieces to make into footballs, baseballs and basketballs. We got all the wood painted and now we just have to add some ribbon to all the pieces. I'm excited to post some pictures because Chuck and I both were impressed with our creativity because we honestly aren't the best when it comes to crafts, but I think we did pretty well. We are proud of our work! :)







Here is a picture of me at 30 weeks... I just keep on growing!

Lots to Update!

Well, winter break is coming to an end. I go back to teaching tomorrow. I definitely enjoyed two weeks off! Chuck and I were hardly home. First, we went to the Riviera Maya. We stayed for five days, and it was wonderful! I have to say it was a little different going to an all-inclusive resort being preggers! Laying out by the pool and beach weren't quite the same(nor as comfortable), but we still had a blast and baby Owen got a great tan! Below are some pictures from our Babymoon trip to Mexico! :)














We got home December 23rd and stayed at our place for a brief two days. We went to Chuck's grandma's Christmas party on the 23rd. Christmas Eve was spent with Chuck's family. We attended church, had a nice dinner at Outback and visited with his other grandmother. That night Chuck and I also had our little Christmas at our house. We opened each other's gifts and gave Tyson lots of goodies. Chuck got me a frame from Things Remembered, and it was engraved with Owen Charles Jeroloman. It has 12 places to put pictures from Owen's first 12 months. It was the sweetest gift. I was so surprised!

We spent Christmas morning with Chuck's parents and then made the drive to St.Pete to be with my family for the rest of Christmas day. We got to stay with my family for an entire week, which we haven't been able to do together since we started dating seven years ago! It was so good to be home. I got to catch up with friends who I don't get to see often and of course was able to spend quality time with my parents, sister and brother. Here are some pictures from Christmas with Chuck's family and mine, as well as some pictures from my week-long stay in St.Pete.




















Well, the best part of winter break came on the day we got to see our little boy Owen! We had a 3/4 D ultrasound, and it was amazing. He actually smiled at us! I am so excited for his arrival. 10 more weeks and counting. :)







See you next week... thanks for reading our blog! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! :)
