Need Your Opinion!

So everyone that knows me, knows that I can't ever make up my mind alone. I always needs someone else's opinion. Even if I don't agree with you, I need to hear your point of view. Don't know why this is the case, but I've always been like this, and doubt I'll ever change. So since I have SO much time on my hands these days thinking about Young Caroline's arrival, I started looking at baby announcements online! If you think Christmas card shopping is hard, this has it beat! I've never in my life seen so many different choices! From the sizes, layouts, wording, paper selection, etc., it's overwhelming! I ventured upon the website TinyPrints to have a look, thanks to Claudia, who swears this will become my go-to place once Caroline comes! I went there "knowing exactly what I wanted," or so I thought. I have settled upon two (for the time being or until I find something else) that I like, but want your opinion! 
Which do you like better? Here are the choices (so far):



OR 



We go to the Dr. Monday for my 32 week check-up, yep I said that right, 32 weeks! That means roughly 8 more to go! Wow! Anyway, I'll post some pictures from this weekend and give you an update on CMP! Hope you (all 5 of you who read this!) have a great weekend! We love and Miss you!

XOXO, Callie

More Nursery Pics!

The curtains and shelves are finally up! I LOVE the way the curtains turned out, they are my favorite part of the room so far! Nothing up on the shelves yet, but hopefully that will soon change! Its definitely looking like a little girl's room! There's also a couple of pics of my newest love (besides the curtains), her "coming home from the hospital outfit"! I've had it for a little bit, but it never gets old to look at! I just love her monogram!

A Work In Progress

Well we've finally started on the nursery! I thought it would be mid to late January before we got it painted (I say we, but I obviously had nothing to do with the paint but picking it up at Home Depot and paying for it), but Daniel decided to get it all done last weekend! Luckily Cappy didn't have to sub this week and was free to help! So we loaded up both cars with not only ALL of our Christmas stuff and luggage, but also the crib, dresser and mirror, curtain rods, linens, and chair! Daniel said one child was all he could handle if it entailed this much stuff with each of them! They were able to get the first coat of paint on the walls last Sunday and then finished on Monday. We also put the crib and chair together on Monday evening. The mattress came Wednesday, so I was able to put the linens on the bed and on Thursday our friend Nathan helped Daniel get the dresser in the room! We now have pretty much all the furniture in there, besides a side table! The walls are bare as you can see, but yesterday I hung the letters in her name on the wall! What should've taken 15 mins took me 45, b/c I was so OCD about how straight they were and making sure each letter was the same distance apart. I have my mom to thank for that! :) So without further ado, here are the pictures! Again, LOTS of work still left to do, but I think its looking pretty good so far!!  Enjoy!
