Baby Update: Week 23

It's getting hotter people. I've luckily only had one bad bought of acid reflux that resulted in a pretty sleepless night; other than that it's been pretty smooth sailing. Although I did get a call from my doctor's office today saying that my blood transfusion with the twins resulted in antibodies being formed and Braden's blood has those antibodies, so I may need to be transferred to a specialist. Not stressing or anything, everything will work itself out; it's just a circumstance I wished we could have avoided but C'est La Vie. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress. 

Baby Update: Week 19

We had our ultrasound yesterday and here's the big news:

Baby Update: 18 weeks

Here's a before & after pic of my "chalkboard" frame for my maternity shots. Landen wanted to help ;)

Now I must go and search for a Pear Cake recipe, which I have a sudden strange hankering for.

La La's Lemonade & Cupcakes

So, now that Olivia dressed up like a cupcake baker, all she's been asking to do is have a cupcake stand in the front yard. Of course, I'm happy to oblige and scour Pinterest for fabulous Lemonade & Cupcake Stand ideas. Here is the best of what I've found.

We're going to get to work today and tomorrow on it and hopefully by Friday, she'll be in business baby. All you neighbors stay on the lookout for flyers!

Kindergarten Career Day

It's Spirit Week at ASU Prep this week, and today's kick off is Career Day. In true Rosemary fashion, I completely forgot about Spirit Week until our Kathie called to remind me last night. Crap. I pulled together what we had to make La La her Cupcake Baker Outfit. If you see a little girl with Liberty Rolls, Red Lipstick, and a red & pink apron at a cupcake stand outside our house- stop and grab a Strawberry Cupcake from Olivia! 

Baby Update: Week 17 {and a quick sewing project}

Another week down- just 23 more to go! So excited for our ultrasound that is planned for May 9th, and our Gender Reveal Party {more details to come}

In other news- I sewed myself a Coral colored maxi skirt! I just followed this pattern, and it took me 30 minutes. Make one for yourself- they are perfect for summer, pregnant or not!

Foto Friday: Week 32 (Late)

I'm a week behind on my Foto Friday, so I decided to post last week's today and I'll do this week's in between today and next Friday to hopefully get all caught up! 

Last week's assignment was doors, so I snapped some pics of my very favorite door in our house, our kids' Tooth Fairy Door. Olivia is getting close to losing another one, so another glitter filled trip from the Tooth Fairy will be in order. 

Here are some of my favorite Tooth Fairy doors I've seen online:

And I need to get busy with a new tooth fairy pillow for La, since the old one was a little wonky and a tad creepy. I love this one I found.

Happy Friday!

Mint Dress Reveal and a Baby Update

I got sick, then I got busy, then I finally had the gumption to do my hair & makeup and VOILA! My mint dress and baby bump....

The dress was fairly easy, albeit a tad confusing. I ended up scrapping the neck and back lining and just hemming the neckline because I was not happy with the sleeves following the pattern directions. I wish I would have just kept it simple and hemmed the sleeves as well, but C'est La Vie. 

I do plan on making another Kimono Dress, perhaps in some navy that I have stashed for another flowy pregnancy dress that will stretch as my belly grows. I would recommend this pattern for a quick weekend sewing project.

On another note- I am officially 16 weeks along and knee deep into my second trimester. There wasn't really anything exciting to report or take photos of until now, so I'm starting off my countdown now. Stay tuned for more belly photos, a gender reveal, and more sewing projects!

P is for Pretty Little Pow Wow Party

Evelyn & Georgia's big 2nd birthday is coming up and I am stoked because the theme for this year is:

It's going to be awesome. Behold, the pins. 

1// Pretty Little Things Bow & Arrow 2// Geronimo Balloons 3// Pretty Little Things Feather Headbands 4// Reverie Photography 5// Pretty Little Things Squaws 6// Native Shop Arrows 7// The sweetest teepees around

I'll share the invites this week {if I can ever get them finished : / } 

Our Baby #6 mail announcements

So, for those of you that missed the announcement- we're having another baby! And this one makes #6 for us, so while it's not my first rodeo, I am excited to bust out all the cute ideas that I have been hoarding that involve babies! Plus, I'll take any excuse to celebrate so, Hurrah! We found out the very last day of February {which is my excuse for my long absence here} and had to come up with a creative way to tell our families before we made the public/FB/blog announcement. Once everyone called and said they received their mail, it was a go to tell the world! This is what we sent out.....

Foto Friday {On Wednesday}- Week 19

I'm a little late posting last week's Foto Friday, but here's my Reflection post! It makes me realize how lucky I am that I got twins and not quadruplets! Can you IMAGINE the teeth brushing?

And don't forget the other ladies of Foto Friday!

Thanksgiving Madness

Ok, I've left you all hanging this week. It was the Fall Festival in Olivia's class today and I was on the Party Planning Committee. It was a crazy busy blur, and the longest 4 hours of my life this morning carting supplies, running and buying last minute materials and blowing up giant brown balloons, and stuffing paper turkeys but now it's over and it was glorious. Here is what we did.

All these activities can be found on my Fall Festival Pinboard or my Giving Thanks Pinboard

No I must go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving because all I've purchased for the meal is cranberries and bourbon. We're gonna need more than that for 25 people.
