A little motherly gift

So a few weeks back one of my co-workers was telling me that I should figure out what I want my "pushing gift" to be. I had no clue what she was talking about and she explained that it's the gift your husband gives you for carrying and giving birth to your child.

Well, I wanted it to be something meaningful and I found it!

We are going to get it after Everly is born. It is going to have her birthstone which is Emerald (May) and I'm so excited because during this pregnancy green and blue have been my favorite colors. Also, you can have things ingraved in the band (how awesome is this?) and I'm going to have her name and her birth date done. Words can't even begin to express how excited I am to be a mother and I can't wait to wear this ring everyday for the rest of my life ;)

Snow = one crafty mama bear

So we've been snowed in since Monday night and I had to find an outlet somewhere. Welp, after spending hours on Martha Stewart's website, I was inspired to my hand at making some baby shoes. Mind you, all I have is scrap fabric so I thought it would be a good idea to made a few test runs to see how easy it was to make them and if I even liked the way they turned out before investing money into the project. Anywho, this is what I've made so far ;)

Eeeep! We have a name!

After going through at least 5,000+ names the other night we finally came up with a name we love!

Everly Ryann Yates

We just love everything about it. It's simply, beautiful and unique!

Also, here is the latest photo of my baby bump ;)

(25 weeks)

That's it for now!

New Beginnings

Welp, it's been forever since I've updated my blog. We finally have internet so I hope to be posting things at least a couple times a week and trying to catch up on everything that's happened.

The biggest news is that my hubby and I are expecting our first child in May! We found out that we're having a girl and we can't wait to welcome her into the world.


Here's a precious photo my mother-in-law took durring our last sonogram. Our little girl was sucking her thumb, just like her mama use to do. Aaron says she has my profile ;)
