Enjoying a delicious water at Pat O'Briens
(Jackson Square & St. Peter's Cathedral)
...was absolutely amazing!
Saturday afternoon/evening was the wedding in Sumrall. The ceremony and reception were wonderful and Amanda, as always, looked just beautiful! Congrats Brandon, on marrying such a great girl!
We had a great time catching up with my family and hope to see them again soon!
Her adorable little hand up against her cheek...
Her little foot and leg... I think it's so cool that you can see her ankle bone!
I think this one may be my favorite! I wonder if she's going to suck her thumb like I did when I was little?!?
Either a big yawn or she was fussing at Pam for poking around at her so much!
What a cute face!
Another slightly smooshed nose...
At my last regular pre-natal appointment I had a glucose tolerance test which tests for gestational diabetes. Unfortunately, my levels following the 1 hour test were elevated so I had to go back in last week for a 3 hour re-test. Thankfully, the results of the re-test came back normal, so it appears that everything is okay! What a relief!
Our next appointment is Monday, 10/5... we are SO VERY excited about this appointment because we will be having our 4D ultrasound that morning! We can't wait to see what she looks like... hopefully she will cooperate with us so we can get some clear pictures of her beautiful face! I wonder who she's going to look like?!?
It truly is amazing how quickly the past few months have flown by and a little scary to think that in less than 3 months we'll be parents!
Project #2--A few months ago we found a great rocker at the local Goodwill for only $30. It was in perfect condition... no scratches on the wood and no tears or stains on the cushions. Even though the cushions were in good shape I was a little bored by their beige color. I suggested to Craig and I sew slip covers for them... he agreed and suggested that I use a turquoise colored fabric. I think it turned out great... definitely a pop of color and a HUGE improvement of the old cushion color! 
Project #3--We found a really cute, handmade mobile at a neat little shop in Gatlinburg last month. We finally got around to hanging it above the crib.
Project #4--I had a little yellow night light that I bought a few years ago that I thought would work well in the nursery. Unfortunately, I didn't really care for the plain white shade on it. So, I decided to jazz it up a little bit with different colored ribbons. All it took was 20 minutes and a glue gun. The end result is definitely more fun and the plain lamp shade it had before!
So, I decided to use the fabric tapestry to make a duvet cover and pillow case for the crib comforter and pillow that we had previously purchased at Ikea. 
I attached snaps to both the duvet cover and pillow case so that Bailey couldn't get tangled in them. 
Here's a picture of the completed duvet... I think it turned out just fab!
I thought that I would try to make bumper pads out of the remaining tapestry fabric. I wasn't quite sure how to do this, but I was able to find a couple websites that gave me a good idea of how to get started. Once I got going it was pretty easy to figure out!
Here is the completed bumper pad... another fabulous creation! I think all of the colors really look great up against the bright green nursery walls!
Here's a shot of all three completed items... the bumper pads, pillow, and duvet. The plan is to use solid colored fitted sheets (courtesy of Ikea) with these items as a contrast. I'm still debating whether or not to make a dust ruffle.
We spend Saturday enjoying the sunshine at the beach on Kiawah Island. Not too hot and not too crowded... the absolute perfect day to go to the beach!
Sunday was spent poking around in all of the stores on King Street and in the Market in downtown Charleston. We definitely got our exercise!
