I thought I would go ahead and post the pictures and come back and add the text later.  Hopefully there is a later :)

I found this little table at a local antique shop and repainted it and stenciled the top.  I will add her pictures in the frames once she's here.  I am not completely in love with how the collage came out so I might rearrange those as well.

Can you say pintrest?  I got this idea from where else, pintrest.  I took a golden book and deco podge the letters.





This is my crib from when I was a baby.  We had to order all the hardware but after help from our neighbor we were able to put it together. My mom and aunt made the dust ruffle.  I found the fabric on spoonflower.  Nathan's aunt made the quilt on the left which you can't really see but it is one of my favorite gifts we got for Campbell.  It is so special and beautiful!!!





This is my favorite find and has become my favorite thing in the room.  I found the chandelier at pottery barn outlet at the bargain price of $20.  I love how it puts circles on the walls at night.  It is the perfect amount of light for the nursery.  I am absolutely in love with this purchase!  





I found this dresser on craigslist and had it repainted.  It is the perfect size for the space.  The flowers came from a little boutique in Fredericksberg.  When I bought them people stopped Christan and I and asked us where we bought them.  They are stunning!! Mom and Aunt Beverly made the changing pad cover from fabric that I purchased on spoonflower.com.  The precious little booties are from Nathan's mom.  She found them at one of her craft shows.  They are truly a perfect fit for the room!







This prayer was something I had hanging in my room when I was a baby.  My mom printed this one for Campbell.  It is very special!




The chair/glider came from pottery barn outlet.  When we started looking for a chair I knew I didn't want to spend a grand on a chair so I shopped around.  When I saw this chair sitting on the display floor I knew immediately it was mine.  It was the color and fabric that I wanted.  It was perfect!  Coming soon....Nathan's mom is making a cover for our old ottoman.




I ordered this ABC print from zulily.  Man that sight is addicting.  It had all the colors and adds a little girl touch to the room.   The curtains and bamboo shade are also one of my favorite things in the room.  I wanted a little of a beachy feel and I think the shades help pull the room together. 
 Can't forget Lola.  This was her room first.  She is no long aloud to sit on the window seal because we had to have it repainted because she wore it out.  This is/was her favorite spot in the house.  When Nathan isn't home I still let her sit up there every now and again.  So much is changing in her life too.  Poor thing!

Jody Caldwell made this for one of my showers.  I put pendant banner on it so that we can hang it at the hospital.  I don't know if people do this anymore but she will have a wreath.

Yikes, that belly is getting so big!  As you can see things are changing around here.  Not only is Campbell growing big but the color on the wall has changed.  I finally picked a color and we have started on the nursery.  I can't wait for it to be finished and hold our sweet baby girl in her new room.  I will post pictures of the nursery when it is finished.  The way work has been going I am not sure if it will be finished before she gets here but one day.  Let's just say this school year has been my least favorite.  I started the year off with a new partner who I loved and then after six weeks of teaching the school decided she wasn't a good fit.  It was a very stressful time and made things much harder than they should have been for a pregnant working girl.  After a week of a substitute and trying to keep my class and the other class going I finally got a new partner that I absolutely adore.  When everything was so crazy I didn't understand why everything was happening the way it did but God showed me that he had a greater plan.  Looking back I wish I had trusted in him more that he knew exactly what he was doing.  I am so thankful for the experiences and situations he has put me in because he has taught me so much along the way.  Needless to say I am really looking forward to staying at home for 12 weeks with little miss Campbell.  I had three showers this month and I am so thankful for all the wonderful gifts and fun we had with family and friends.  We truly feel blessed!!!  Here are a few pics from the showers.

Campbell has already been to two countries in the past two months.  What a lucky girl!!  This month we went to Los Cabos for Nathan's company's 10 Year Anniversary.  The company flew the entire company and spouses for a long weekend.  This trip also fell within the first week of school.  I am so grateful that I was able to take off Thursday and Friday of the first week of school.  The trip was amazing and we had a great time.  We kept reminding ourselves that this would be our last trip before Campbell was born and I know our next vacation will have a totally different meaning.  This month is also the beginning of the third trimester and the beginning of school.  Everyone keeps saying that they don't know how I am going to do it.  I am very nervous about being exhausted and being a good teacher and wife.  I have been feeling great so far so I am hoping that I will continue to feel this good until the arrival of our sweet baby girl. Here are a few fun pics from our trip.

5 Months

Look at that belly!!!  It has really decided to pop this month.  I wouldn't normally post a picture of me in my bathing suit but I thought just this once for the baby's sake and for my own memory I would post it. 


We went to the doctor on Monday, July 16th twice.  I had my regular check up with my doctor in the morning which my mom got to go and hear the baby's heartbeat.  I also found out that I had gained another 6 pounds.  I really wanted to cry but I figured it had a little to do with being in Vegas for a week and not exercising.  It was hard to eat good food on $26 a day.  Not really but that is what the school gave us so we tried to keep the cost down.  I ate a lot of trail mix and almond butter sandwiches.  The second appointment was with radiology.  This is when we were going to find out the sex of our baby but we decided last minute that we wanted to do a gender reveal party.  I went back in forth on what to do because we would be leaving the next day for our vacation.  My friend, Stephanie convinced me to have it so we did it.  I'm so glad we did because it was a good excuse to get most of our friends and family together to celebrate this little miracle.  At the appointment we were able to see so much more than I ever thought.  We saw the baby's golbladder, chambers of the heart, arm, hands, and so much more.  Because we wanted to the gender to be a surprise we didn't get to see anything below the belly button.  The radiologist put the gender of the baby in an envelope along with a video and a picture of the baby pointing to it's gender parts.  I took this straight to the bakery so I wouldn't be tempted to look.  Needless to say I waited all week but when it came for the party we started with the cake!!!  My nephew kept telling everyone that we were having desert first, which he was more than thrilled about.  Here are a few pics from the party.

AND THE CAKE WAS........

 PINK!!
We were shocked but very excited!  I really thought it was going to be a boy.  I had a dream about the baby and it was a boy and they say you are more hungry with a boy which I have been. Secrectly we were both hoping for a girl so we were super excited to find out that we would soon be holding a little girl named Campbell Elizabeth.  Both names are family names.  Nathan's moms maiden name is Campbell and my middle name and my mom's name is Elizabeth so this is how we came up with the name. 


Here are a few other pictures from the party. 

The guys had a great time, can you tell?

I really wanted to get Lola a shirt for the party that said, "I don't care, I don't want either!"  I don't think she has any idea about what is going to happen in a couple of months but I do hope that she loves Campbell as much as we do.

 

 

Three Months....

Whew, getting into the second trimester is a blessing.  I feel more like myself.  The only difference is working out.  I get tired more quickly than I did before.  That's okay, I get it, my body is making a baby.  I haven't felt sick at all and I have only taken a couple of naps.  School is also out so this helps too.  We went to the doctor today and I gained 5 pounds.  Not extremely proud because I know it is not all the baby.  It has a lot to do with the ice cream, candy, and homemade cinnamon rolls that I have been eating. Next month we will find out the sex and I couldn't be more excited.  I have a feeling that it is a boy because I have been so hungry.  I read somewhere in a book that you are more hungry when you are pregnant with a boy.  I am also thinking that our baby is going to come out looking like a monkey because of all the indigestion I have been having.  I have heard that if you had a lot of indigestion than your baby will have a lot of hair.   This past weekend I had a dream that the baby was a boy.  He was precious with dark hair and dark skin.  

We can't wait to meet you little baby Kleiman!!!

Second Month...
I have to admit that this month was rough.  I remember telling Nathan that I won't be doing this ever again.  Morning sickness, whoever invented the name anyway is an idiot.  I actually felt great in the morning and breakfast food seemed to be my only friend.  At around 10am is when I started feeling yucky.  I never actually threw up but I felt like I was up until I went to bed.  Before I was pregnant I ate really healthy.  I rarely ate simple carbs or fried foods.  I am not saying I was perfect but I did eat pretty well.  This month my diet has been quite the opposite.  I crave crap carbs and food.  I have eaten Chick fila more this month than I have all year.  I have also eaten an entire box of saltine crackers and graham crackers.  One of my students made a comment the other day about how I am constantly eating.  I really wanted to scream but I just smiled and thought to myself you have no idea you little brat!!!  It took me a while to figure out that if I waited to eat until I was hungry that is when I felt sick.  We went to the doctor this month and got to see our little baby again.  We also heard the heart beat.  I truly don't understand how people who go through this process don't believe in God.  The whole thing is truly a miracle and even though this month has been rough I am thankful for every experience.
