The bump

Figured I'd better put one of these "bump" pictures on here for my family that won't get to see me pregnant.  Of course it was about 3 weeks ago when I took this picture so I've gotten a little bigger since this but it is what I have to show. 

Picture taken at 22 weeks. 

I am now at 25 weeks-- can't believe how fast it seems to be going

Wade's Room

Thought it would be fun to put up some before pictures of Wade's bed room.  We've been working hard getting things together for him.  Right now all the furniture is moved to the center of the room waiting on the painter (the fabulous Bonnie)

We built the window seat!  Mom will be doing a finish on it to jazz it up a bit!  The two towers to the left and right of the window seat will also be getting a finish.  Glad to have a magical Mom that can make my visions come to life!

And here are some fabrics for the room...

As you can see, I plan to use various shades of brown with some blue and green accents (the rocking chair fabric) We don't really have a "theme" but the room will have an overall rustic feel and then accented with some horse things.

One of my favorite finds for the room was this metal horse Mom and I found at a local antique store! 

He has a bobbly head and buck teeth!  We named him Willy!  Of course when Wade gets older we'll have to put it outside as it is probably not kid friendly!

That is all for now on the room.  Mom has started painting and she won't let me in there until she is finished.  So I'll post more pictures later on--



Baby Sims Update

It's a boy!  William Wade (we'll call him Wade) Short and sweet like his Daddy's name! Sorry it took so long to put up the post-- lack of power due to tornadoes that came thru on April 27.  We went a whole week with out power... no worries though luckily we had some friends that lived about 20 minutes away that had power, warm showers, and an extra bed to offer!

I am almost done selecting fabrics and things for Wade's room when I get a chance I'll do a little post with the design concept and some pics of fabrics.  Mom and I have some great ideas to make the room come together!

Prego

As most of you know by now, Will and I are going to have a baby in September.  We are so very excited!  Two more weeks and we'll find out what we are having... I hate to say it but that might be when I make my next post!  May 3rd is our appointment date and we have planned to take the day off from work to do some shopping and celebrating!  So it might be a day or two before I do an actual post but I'm sure I'll email or call most of you.

Wanted to share this lovely picture of myself-- Will thought it would be funny to take a picture with the Prego jar since I am Prego!

The SIMS family- in REAL LIFE

After a little encouragement from my good friend Jenny, I decided I'd start a blog for our family to keep all of our friends and family updated with the SIMS!  And no, I'm not talking about the video game.  This is the SIMS family in real life!

I'll apologize ahead of time that I may not be the best at keeping up with my blogs but just be patient with me I promise I'll post the important stuff and of course lots of pictures.
