Getting ready for Chase!

We spent the majority of November getting ready for Chase! We got some projects done around the house, his room finished, Christmas shopping done and wrapped and now we are just waiting! Chase's original due date is December 14. I am going to try for a VBAC with him if my body will go into labor on its own. If not, we have a c-section scheduled for December 16th. We are looking forward to meeting our little guy in just a few days, however he decides to make his debut!! So exciting!! Below are a few snapshots Steve took of his nursery...






I decided to do a few crafty things for his room: The c's on above his crib, a license plate name I saw in Canton & letter canvases I tried to recreate from Pottery Barn. It was a little more work than I originally thought, but I had fun doing it!







My grandfather built this shelf for me when I was a little girl for my aquarium I got for my b-day one year. It has been repainted TONS, followed me to college, was in our guest bedroom and Steve repainted it red for Chase's room! And...my sweet friend Sarah made the adorable door hanger for the hospital that you see propped up on the shelf. Isn't she crafty?! I LOVE IT!!



My talented Mom made curtains for his room, just like she did for Cambry's. I LOVE the detail of the red buttons that she added to them! Thanks, Mom!!





You're room is ready and waiting for when you get here, Chase Tyler!

19 months!

Our Cambry girl is 19 months old! I can't believe it!! She has some big changes in for her this month, but we think she is going to handle being a big sister fabulously! She has a sweet & gentle nature about her, loves to give hugs & kisses and loves to help out--all of which will be great qualities for a big sister! We took her out to a field one cold afternoon and let her run wild. She had a blast and Steve captured some precious pictures of our little girl! We love you, Cambry Brooke!!!

Build-a-Bear

We took Cambry to Build-a-Bear on Saturday so we could make a special stuffed animal for Chase, just like we did for her before she was born. She LOVED carrying the little bear around and helping put his little heart and stuffing in. She even gave him a bath with Daddy at the end. She is so proud of Mr. Bear! What a sweet big sister Cambry is going to be!!













And what's a trip to the mall with Daddy without a ride on the carousel?!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Cambry went to visit Santa this year already, as we were hoping to beat the rush and make sure we got it in before baby brother arrives! She was all smiles last year for Santa & this year we were geared up for all tears. Instead of crying, she just froze when we put her on his lap. It was so funny. She had both hands up and her head turned sideways and just sat there...wouldn't move for anything!! The camera girl was real good with her and used a toy to turn her head and get her hands more relaxed. She didn't crack a smile but afterward had plenty to say about him! She calls him "Ho, ho!"
