Reagan's Room


Well Jerry has truly out done himself and created a beautiful room!  I was going to wait and post the finished product, but I just have to show off Jerry's hard work.  Here are some pictures:


This is the before:








We first began our adventure by choosing a fabric.  This was my job.  After searching at JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby, I decided to go to the internet.  I finally found the exact fabric I wanted-
Next up, find a fabric that would go with it.  I decided to go to Cabbage Rose.  Here is what I came up with:
I love the pink chevron!

Next stop, Home Depot for paint.  Just an FYI, the color match does not match fabric very well.  After several trips to Home Depot, we finally found what we wanted. 

 
Jerry first painted 3 walls aqua and one wall off white:
 
Rowdy also assisted:
 
Tape Time--- Jerry tapped for hours! 
 
After measuring, cutting tape, and taping it to the wall it was finally time to paint!

Finally, after so much hard work, the wall is revealed!!  It looks absolutely amazing!!!
 
 
Jerry was on a roll so he decided to put the crib together too.
 
This project took several days to complete and a great deal of hard work!  Jerry never once complained.  In fact, he was quite the opposite.  He was excited and seemed to really enjoy the project.  Reagan and I are so lucky to have such an amazing man in our lives!
 
 

Weeks 20-23

Well we are half way there!!! Can you believe it???


We are so excited!  I'm really starting to feel Reagan move around.  It's the strangest feeling and I LOVE IT!
Reagan update:
  • We went in for our regular 4 week check up and Reagan is looking good.  Here is a picture of her looking at you. 

  • She is getting so big! The sonogram technician said that her leg is 10 cm long (about the size an iPhone) Her body is about the size of a papaya. 
  • In the past 3 weeks she has developed her sense of touch and has grown hair on her head.  I wonder if she'll be a blondie or brunette.  I'm thinking she'll have blonde hair. 
  • Sometimes it feels like shes doing somersaults in my belly--- Will she be the next Gabby Douglas?
  • Dr. Glenn says she is right on track for growth and development. 



Carolyn's update:


Sleep: I'm sleeping like a baby! 

Missing anything: Not really.   

Food Cravings: Sweets, sweets, and more sweets.  However, I was like that before I was pregnant :) 

Exercise: I'm trying to still work out 2-3 times a week.  I was so busy this past week, that I was only able to exercise once :(  

Food Aversions: Nope

Symptoms: none that I can think of

Have you started to show yet: yep

Looking forward to: Getting the room put together
