Best Date

This past Friday Hubby & I took a painting class at a local gallery owned by a retired art professor, it was so very relaxing & enjoyable...you were able bring your own wine which Danny didn't wanna take advantage of in front of me.

I'm sure I learned this in Elementary school but needed to be reminded that white & red makes pink so that's when the instructor came in handy for me, right off the bat he knew Danny had art knowledge so he told him he wont even bother checking in on him.

I started at it for a while before I knew what I was painting

33 week bumpdate

1/23/12

Dear Sienna,

  Are you trying to bust out of my belly already? This week has been your most active week yet, you are non stop kicking, punching, stretching, you don't seem to ever sleep... that's pretty bad news for mommy. Your cousin Sofia got to feel you kick today, she got a little startled and asked "what is this baby doing in there?" I ask myself the same question. You are one active little girl! you even wake Daddy & I at night...but I'm not complaining, all that just lets me know you are so very healthy!

Here's to rolling with the punches,

-Mommy

Jack Johnson

 makes my ♥ happy.

His music brings back many memories of when Danny & I first started dating, whenever we hung out Jacks CDs were all on a rotation in my stereo...funny to think that my daughter probably wont even know what a stereo is, maybe not even a CD.

Well, next time he's in the Phoenix are or anywhere in California, we are strapping Sienna in a carrier & we're there!

can't get enough of this song lately!

I'm going to play Sienna all of his songs instead of nursery rhymes  

since they will all sound familiar to her anyway :)

 and speaking of our little girl, this song lyric of his made me giggle...

"you gotta be careful when you've got good love 

'cause them angels will just keep on multiplying" 

Nursery: Project Owl Pillow

My little girl has really inspired me to be crafty & I love it,
 all of the decorations in her nursery were all handmade with love by Dan & I over a course of several weekends. Her nursery has become my favorite rooms in the house, I sit in there every evening & look at all her adorable things counting down the days till I can finally be in there with her in my arms.

I made her a little owl for the bookcase on the tree, 

I think it turned out pretty cute!

step one: draw & cut out shapes

step two: sow the back & the front leaving enough space to stuff

step three: sow buttons on for the eyes

step four: shoo away silly husband haha

step five: stuff and sow up, glue and or sow on the rest of the parts

Dear Sienna,


   We are having a dilemma over your middle name, the original plan was to give you your aunts name as your middle name... Sienna Monica, but the more I said it in my head the more it started to sound like a town in California. I love the name Madelyn and even considered it for your first name, but its grossly common...I refuse for you to be "just another Maddie" I want you to have a unique, beautiful name and I don't think there is a more beautiful name than Sienna, I hope you agree one day. So maybe Madelyn could be your middle name..we shall see.

Its getting more and more real...

We had a hospital tour today, and boy did it really set in after seeing that delivery room. It was a crazy mixture of excitement & nervousness.

7 weeks ( or less) to go!

I love this hospital,  My husband says it will make us feel like we're in a resort on vacation...Now I don't know if itd go as far as saying pushing a human being out of me will ever feel like a vacation, but the accommodation of this spankin new hospital will sure make this a little more bearable.

I'm really excited for this year, 

A sweet little girl to complete our family, due to arrive on our 25th birthday.

 I cant possibly think of a more amazing gift then that!

We often talk about all the exciting things we look forward to doing with her

taking little trips is one of them,  lets hope shes a good baby!

Our first family trip will be a drive to California, a little road trip along the Pacific coast...Or the San Diego area... we've talked about how we cant wait to put her in a baby carrier and take walks along the beach and Santa Monica Pier, seriously cannot wait. She's already got more bathing suits, hats & sunglasses than her Momma..shes all ready for her first summer!
