Annie Pearce: July 2011

So I am now 34 weeks!!! 6 weeks LEFT!

I've been really bad at writing on here so now 3 months later I'm back hah.
Really all that has been going on is being busy working and working on Koli's room. Which we now have completely finished! (besides some decorations on the walls) bu,t I really LOVE it! Me and Nog have been working on it for 3 weeks and just finished. While we were painting Nog kept saying I can't believe I'm going to have a pink room in my house, I never thought that would happen. But now that it's all done he loves it just as much as I do.

I also just had my baby shower this past week that Laree and Patti threw for me it was awesome! I got so many cute little clothes I loved them all so much that the second I got home I tore all the tags off and threw them in the wash. After I started folding and organizing I realized I have like a billion outfits that are newborn and 3 months too many that she can go through I'm sure. I probably should not have immediately tore everything off and maybe exchanged some for different sizes but Oh well. Nog says I'm impatient, I guess that was proven true. But at least I'll have plenty of clothes for the other girls I'll have someday and I figure I can just change her 2 or 3 times a day so she can wear all of them. :) It all feels so much more real. Not that my belly isn't enough proof. I still can't imagine having my own baby though. Kinda weird but I can't wait until she crys and the only person she wants is her mama.

Here are some picture of my belly, the shower, and the before, during, and after picture of the process of her room getting done. :)

Me and Nicole (my old friend) I hadn't seen her in forever! I was SO happy she came! We are just two couple weeks off from each other.

I didn't get a whole lot of picture of everything and everyone. It was so good seeing all the people come for me and Kollins. That made me feel good :) I wish I had pictures of all the food and everything. Laree did such a great job setting everything up it looked amazing.

Kels, Me, Wendy, and Marlene

Regan, Me, and her Mama

Patti made this Diaper Cake. I actually looks like a real cake. It's so cute! And she even put my absolute favorite animal on the side.

I came to work and saw this on the table. Clarissa and Beth did this for me :) I Love it! I don't think I'm going to take these apart until she HAS to have them.

Mama Pearce made this cover for this pillow. I just got it in the mail :) can't wait till I got a baby on top of there.

Look her first piggy bank.

I got a surprise the night after my shower! Pat and Brian came over with the group gift. Nog set it all up right away he was so excited he kept driving it all around the house. Literally, it was pretty cute.

And here is the start to her room process. I had this paper up on the wall for a while before we did it.
The day we were finding out what we were having Jay was in town and he was staying with us. He said "don't even call me to tell me what it is cause I already know it's a girl" and he was right. :) So when we pulled into the drive way we saw this sign hanging up. We were laughing so hard and left it up outside for like 2 weeks. Then I finally brought it in and put it in her room above her crib. haha Oh Jay Bee I sure do love him.
(Just in case you can't see it that good there is a picture of a girl in a skirt on the bottom right corner with a big smiley face above)

So I got this idea from Ree she did this in Dads old house and I always loved it.

What you do is tape off the wall to make it look like diamonds. Then put drywall on the whole thing.

So that when you peel the tape off you have a different texture. Then later we reput the tape over the same part and fou painting the wall so that the diamond lines would stand out better.

Lastly to add a finishing touch I put little metal flowers on all the corner.
