best iron ever!

wow
i had a doctor appointment on tues and was told by my doctor that i had the best iron levels she had ever seen!
this is like the mom version of winning an award or getting a promotion right?
no just kidding just doing my best for luke and me but this is cause for celebration....
here are some motherly items i am pondering about lately
the hat is from forever21, coat from ruche, necklace from etsy, petuniapicklebottom diaper bag, and double stroller-love the red

nursery projects: 36 weeks

here are some images of recent baby projects:
baby blanket, pillow and burp cloths embellished with fabric
sweet nightlight made from a small little paper-mache house
luke's bump at 35 weeks
we are ready!

baby husky fan

so to be fair to joe, a diehard washington fan,
i found some items for the baby who grows up to be a husky fan
they did beat the beavers the other night......
these pics came from tangledwitdesigns, theenchantedfrog and curiousworkmanship
i need to try crocheting baby booties as well
4 more weeks!

baby michigan fan

today i thought i would look for some unique baby ideas
for baby luke on my favorite website etsy
they feature all things unique, vintage and handmade
here are some perfect gifts for the baby that is destined to be a michigan fan
(like his mum)
i seriously need to figure out how to crochet that football helmet
pics from brookeslittlestitch, theenchantedfrog and stephi3357

baby portrait

i am not a big fan of ultrasounds
i never know what i am looking at and it always seems like
one big black and white lava lamp
(no offense brock and luke)
i don't feel the need to see what my kids look like
before they get here
it is fun to be surprised and according to joe
all babies look the same
(except our babies are cuter)
duh
so after waiting 30 min for an ultrasound appt
i was rewarded with pics that i love
his squishy cheeks are simply adorable and kissable
i could have waited to scan it
but i took a pic of it with my camera
i am smitten

batman, superman, or just joe

that joe
he is no stranger to accolades, compliments, and awards
he deserves every last one
he is dedicated, has a strong mind and is always thinking about how to gain more market share,
a brave employee that goes the extra mile,
thinks outside the box, and writes and speaks with so much poise and wit
he is my husband and brock and luke's daddy
he is our superhero for sure!
this week we found out that a portfolio he put together for an interview (of his own) will now be used as a handbook for the entire company
POW!
WHAM!
ZAP!
holy interstate batman
that calls for some capital letters
i am very proud of my joe
he isn't just any joe
he is mine

playroom inspiration

I have 6 more weeks give or take......
my creativity and energy have slowed down a little bit
but time to get some projects finished
here are some inspiring pics for the game room
chalkboard walls are so whimsical and
i adore the alphabet wall from a time for everything blog
and the labeled apple baskets for storage

also this week we welcome Keely's new baby boy:
aiden finn on oct 8!

dear joe

i am not the same when you are not here
