So Kris, my very talented "Tinkering" husband, decided to make Declan a bed from scratch.
It turned out pretty cool!! It's not all the way done yet, but Declan slept in it for the first time last night; which I was nervous for him to fall out but he didn't!!! All that's left is putting 'tires' on it(cut bucket lid in half and make it look like a tire w/ rims), steering wheel, windshield, grill/drawers for his clothes in the front to look like the front on the truck...I think that's it. But you get the gist of it. Declan loves the top where he can play with all his animals, blankets, read books, take a nap, etc. Kris put a ladder in the back. He doesn't climb up it or down it yet, but that doesn't bother me at all because then I know he won't attempt to (He's afraid of heights)...ahah!!
Side view: Myself, Kris and his sister Becky all painted it to look like a Zebra Safari Truck...
Do you think he's happy about his new bed???
Declan on the top of the truck, which we can eventually put another bed on top...He ate breakfast up there this morning. Pretty cute.
My Happy Goober...
Front of the Truck...
Where drawers will be put...and I'll paint it like a grill with head lights and such...
A little ladder/step-up for Declan to get on his bed easier...
The Ladder in the back to climb on top :)
The railing/rack on top of the truck...with all of Declan's animals and blanket GALOR...
Declan's big boy bed!! Rhinos, Elephants, Giraffes, Gators, Zebras...and Curios George on the pillow as well as the Dragon on the right from "How to Train A Dragon" :)
Then here's little girl's colors/theme/animals:
I went more of an Australia way since Declan has Africa
(Plus Kris went to Australia for his mission)
I couldn't decide whether to do Hippo's or Koala's...and I found both!
It has a Zebra and Elephant on it as well...
Which really don't live in the same area, but hey, it's cute.
There's also 2 little stuffed Kangaroo animals that Kris bought from his mission in the crib to include that animal.
A lot of pink, I know for me, but there's orange, purple, green...
It's so soft and cute!
I am excited to put here in it and have her here!
Thanks to my Mother for buying all this!!!
THANK YOU~ THANK YOU~ THANK YOU...
LOVE IT, and LOVE YOU!!!
A Round/Cherry wood crib...
Declan slept in this one too...
But it's not put all together since we took it apart to put Declan's bed together.
I'll take another picture when it's all done.
Then here's a picture of me 2 weeks ago at 31 weeks. I'm now 33 and 1 day!!!
Getting there...Can't believe it!!
Here's what's going on with myself:
--SWOLLEN FEET and HANDS almost EVERYDAY...
Which makes it a pain to be on my feet for very long, and I hardily ever wear my real wedding ring. I mostly wear a "fake" wedding ring what I call "Fat Finger Ring".
--Hard to breath slightly...especially when it is bed time...
Sometimes I have to sit up to be able to be 'comfy' and sleep a bit. My sides are getting worn out :)
--Craving a lot of cereal lately, sometimes it is the only thing I eat all day...
--She's still moving quite a bit every which way...
It's nothing like getting a swift kick/punch/bump to the rib or bladder, especially in church where you almost jump out of your seat while they are passing the Sacrament! haha...
My next appointment is this Friday...just a quick check up.
Then the next one is two weeks after that, so maybe the 18th,
and that's when I'll get another Ultra sound for one last look-ee to see if she's turned
and of coarse I'll have her make sure she's still a girl :D ahha!! I really do not have any doubt that it
is a girl, but sometimes you just never know...
GIRLS ARE SNEAKY!!!
Last but not least it was Kris and My 4 year Anniversary on May 19th! Crazy to think. I love Kris very much...and I just love looking back on that day and knowing I made the best decision of my life to marry him. I wish I could relive it. It just has flown, but I still remember it very vividly. AMAZING day to say the least.
He came into my life when I needed a friend the most. He was really there for me, and lifted me up and showed me what true Love was and what I deserved as a Daughter of God. I can turn to him for anything. His humor is constant. Sometimes people read him wrong, but he's hardily ever serious if you know him. Always cracking jokes or poking fun of something and I love him for that... and most importantly he is a great Father. I love watching him with Declan. Declan loves his Dad. I can only hope that Declan gets Kris's knowledge, humor, and how hard working Kris is at everything that life throws at him. He is my Eternal Companion, and I could not be more happy/blessed!!
I love you Kris!!
