10 weeks

Well folks, here it goes! The weekly updates of Baby May..."Lomatini" as my friends have been calling him/her. Don't worry, I know you are all dying to see "belly pics" but as of now, there is really not a belly. Now don't get me wrong, I see a small difference. You just can't see it through clothes. Maybe that will hold off for a couple more weeks? So here is what our little babe is this week: a prune. Yuck. Dislike prunes. It blows my mind that our baby is that small (1.5 inches long) and is already sprouting legs & arms! Amazing!

*How far along?: 10 weeks!
*Total weight gain?: No gain yet..lost about 3lbs. due to morning (or night) sickness. Think that is about over!

*How big is baby?: only an inch and a half long
*Sex: Won't know that until April! I think it is a boy.

*Maternity clothes: All my clothes still fit!
*Stretch marks: Nope. Just ordered my Mama Mio tummy rub cream! Other people swear by it. Also drinking lots of water...heard that helps too?
*Sleep: Sleeping just fine!
*Best moment this week: Got a REALLY cute shirt from my friends! THANKS GIRLS! It will be my belly pic shirt. I'll post a picture of it later. Also, decided to move the nursery to a different bedroom. Makes it seem real to be able to talk about a nursery!
*Movement: Our prune is just too small for movement.
*Food cravings: I crave food pregnant or not pregnant. Hard to tell the difference. Loved me some apple sauce this week, though!
*Labor signs: not for about 30 more weeks...
*Belly button in or out: in
*What I miss: eating dinner & not feeling sick afterwards...being able to take legit headache medicine! Tylenol just won't cut it.
*What I'm looking forward to: Well, we have the proof that a baby is in there! I'm now ready for the physical proof...ready for a lil bump.

wordless wednesday

[my first picture of Hudson while he was still a stray...look how skinny he was!]

My best friend got married!!

This past weekend was so much fun. Ben and I got to venture down to Oxford, MS for a fun wedding weekend! Whitney & Matt tied the knot! I must warn you, I am posting LOTS of pictures...

Here is the happy couple at the rehearsal dinner!

The 3 Muskateers were happy to be reunited!
Ben & I at the rehearsal dinner

The wedding was PERFECT! They got married in the chapel on the Ole Miss campus & had the reception at a big ol' house called the Colonel's Quarters. Cathleen and I were the first ones in the bridal suite and when we saw her wedding dress hanging...it literally took my breath away. Isn't is gorgeous?? The veil is made from Matt's moms wedding dress & she had no idea Whitney was goin to wear it. She was so excited when she saw it!

I love the front of the dress!

Ben and I at the reception...I'm pretty annoyed this is out of order! :)

Leener and I getting ready for the big day!

All of the bridesmaids. We all got to pick out our own purple dresses...I love the way it turned out!

Still can't believe Whit is married!

Almost time!

Stunning. That's all I've got.

They did it! Now, time to party! Don't you love her hair? So Carrie Bradshaw...

Matt's cake...His tahoe...a dead deer...some fields...and a real estate sign. Perfect!

I like icing. Therefore, I loved all this icing! Yum.

Really?! A candy bar??? Why didn't I think of that? I may have had a few pieces of rock candy during the reception...

The bling...I guess I would say Matt did a pretty good job!

The happy couple...love y'all!!:)

Congratulations to the McGraw's!!!

oh, baby.

We have had a very exciting 4 weeks over here in the May household!

We're having a baby!!!

We found out 4 weeks ago...and this has been THE hardest secret I have ever kept! Ben and I went to the doctor on Thursday and got to see our sweet little baby. Still to early to hear a heartbeat, but you could definitely see it! I am a little over 9 weeks along & our due date is September 18, 2010. We are SO excited!! I can't wait to meet this little person inside of me. The quality of the picture is horrible (boo for no working scanner) but I still think that is one cute little grape!!

So excited...

...because this girl is getting married on SATURDAY!!! This may be my favorite picture of us ever...explains us so well. Ha!

The 3 Muskateers from Ole Miss will reunite in Oxford on Friday!!
Eeek! I am SO excited!!
Only this time, there will be no nights spent at the Library listening to DJ Mario...*tear*

Or hanging out on the balcony at the Library...

Did we do anything besides go to the Library?...

These 2 girls make my heart happy.

These 2 girls are DEFINITELY the reason I did not have a mental breakdown during senior year!!

Next time I see these girls, it won't be at my wedding. It will be at Whit & Matt's wedding!!

I am not sure Oxford is ready for us!!!

Project

I recently said I wanted to officially decorate our 2 guest bedrooms. Right now they have a flat, boring, blah builder grade tan paint on the walls. I like color. I mean, the paint in our family room is literally called lime green. I can't handle boring walls! Well, one of our guest rooms has our old duvet cover. I loved this duvet cover. It's from Pottery Barn and was a really pretty green...however, I learned the hard way that face products do not mix well with pretty duvet covers. 2 words: bleach spots. Sad Loma.

Well on one of our snow/ice days, I made myself get out of the house & go to Target, Hobby Lobby, and TJ Maxx. Those are my 3 favorites...love me a good bargain! I glanced at Target's bedding and found a duvet on CLEARANCE for $34!! I was so excited! I grabbed it and found the 2 matching shams and raced to my other 2 destinations. This is the bedding...very simple..

I found an accent pillow with blues and browns at TJ Maxx. My guest room is beginning to look like a real room! So now all I keep thinking about is paint. I really want a Ralph Lauren textured paint....and guess what? I think I want an earthy/neutral tone. What's wrong with me? This one is called Canyon Fossil.



Ballard Designs is my new favorite. I am obsessed. I absolutely LOVE these pictures! I have been wanting to buy some scrapbook paper and frame it...basically I want this. I can totally make this happen for like 1/8 the cost!

Now, if it would just warm up so I can open these windows and paint!

favorites.

I'm snowed in again. Well, iced in, I suppose. I did drive to Publix to get food so that we didn't starve. I drove on 2-3 inches of solid ice the whole way! It was crazy. I am so jealous of the kids sledding all over the neighborhood today...it is perfect, packed down, make you go super fast, sledding snow. Would it be creepy for a mid-twenties girl to ask the neighborhood kids if she could play too? Probably.

Since I am stuck inside again today, I have nothing exciting to write about. So here are a few of my current favorite things:

HGTV's Rate My Space. Not the show, but the website! I am addicted to this website. Thousands of people have uploaded pictures of different rooms in their house & you can search through them and get ideas. I am wanting to tackle the 2 guest rooms this spring...I have been gathering ideas from this! Seriously, check it out. It's amazing.
Yesterday, I watched Friends all. day. long. I will probably do the same thing again today. I got the box set for Christmas...makes me a happy girl.

Sharpie pens! I got so many of these in my stocking this year! These little pens are awesome. Fine point tip...lots of color...and they don't bleed through paper. Perfect.

My Mountain Hardwear "Monkey Woman" fleece. This has been attached to me since yesterday morning. It is my own furry paradise.
