23 Weeks Pic

It's been a few weeks, thought it was time for another picture for the blog! There's no question I've packed on a couple baby pounds now! She seems to be swimming around quite a bit in there. Cory got to feel her a few days ago and that was pretty exciting.

 



 



 



 

Thanks goes to Billy Madison for the chalkboard quote today.

We went to Babies R Us and Target this week to get started on the registry and it was terribly overwhelming. I think we did a pretty good job. I'll be going back and forth comparing lists for a while, I'm sure, but definitely a good start. It's crazy to think that in just a few short months Colette will be here. Time has just flown by..... And there's still so much to do! Ahhhh! The nursery is officially cleaned out and ready for that paint. I'm going today to find some new light fixtures to be installed when the electric is done. I'm very ready to put the crib together and get started on the real decorating... just gotta get the paint on the walls first.

In other news, my dad will be up this weekend. We'll have a booth for Schultz Studios at the Pink Bridal Show at the Chattanooga Convention Center on Sunday. If you're planning a wedding, it's probably the place to be. Free food and swag. I'd go even if I wasn't getting married just to get all the free stuff!

 

I think that's all for now friends! Have an excellent weekend!

We're officially past the halfway mark! Whew. Makes me worry a little bit since it seems to fly by. It didn't help when I walked into Hobby Lobby the other day and all the Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations were out. YOU JUST SLOW DOWN A SECOND, HOBBY LOBBY! I'm not quite ready for that yet!

Cory and I did some 'gender reveal' activities over the weekend and I'm pretty excited to release all that to you guys, but family comes first! Other activities that happened over the weekend include getting all the desks out of the soon to be nursery AND getting the 2 guest rooms' furniture changed out. Mattresses should be arriving in the next couple of days so now all we need are new sheets! Big thanks to the Branum's for getting tricked into helping out with that. :)

So now onto the title of the blog. Sounds. We're finally in the early stages of hearing and voice recognition in Baby Taylor's development! Music has always been a big part of my life, so I've been waiting for the moment when I can go out and purchase my Bellybuds and share the joy that is music with Baby Taylor....... (Okay... so maybe I don't buy the Bellybuds. But I think my big headphones will work just fine.)

While I was browsing Spotify last week, I came across Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star lullabies. I was thrilled because a lot of what I listen to isn't exactly baby friendly. There are hundreds of albums from various artists and genres that have been turned into lullabies and I love them. Below are screen shots of some of my favorite things they have, but I encourage you to go check out their website to see if they have something to suit your fancy if you're looking for something like this.









And to colse, I leave you with this terrible video of Gloria singing Hush Little Baby on Modern Family. Enjoy!
