Baby Girl Bedding!

I was beginning to get discouraged. Every time I browsed baby girl bedding, I didn't know what I was going to do. I was not finding ANYTHING I liked. Saturday afternoon my mom and I set off on some baby girl errands. Our first stop was Pottery Barn Kids (for Star Wars sheets) and I kept coming back to this bumper pad. The more we looked at it and talked about it, the more I could see her room taking shape! We bought the bumper and curtains and set off to Babies R Us to do some registering. Then at a stop to Home Depot for caulk, we checked out some paint colors. To Matt's relief, the bedding matches the colors already on the wall in Logan's (soon to be baby's) room. We will be able to take down the border, paint a fun pink stripe in it's place, and then stamp or stencil some daisies in the pink. We will probably add some butterflies in the yellow 1/3 of the room. I feel soo much better after this weekend. Looking at this makes me happy. And my family will tell you that is a good thing.......

Almost 23 Weeks

We went to a wedding Saturday night. Looking at this, it's hard to believe that I'm just barely past half way. I look like I should be having this baby next week. Either that or I closely resemble a cow.

Cute Little Red Raider!

Thank you Hudgens' girls for loaning us the adorable Tech dress!

Baby Girl will wear it well!

Blog Slump

Is there an official "blogger" term for when nothing exciting is going on and I have nothing new to post? Maybe I need to ask Noah if his tummy is telling him anything good to post. Lately his tummy has been telling him when it is time to watch Noggin, or when it's time to play games, and of course when he's hungry and full.

Our weekend was pretty normal. We went to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. I took the camera, but never took it out of the diaper bag. I was on Logan duty, and Matt was following along behind Noah. The rest of the day was a nap, games, dinner, and more games. Sunday, Matt and I took a spin volunteering for Noah's teachers in Preschool B. We had a room full of 19 4 year olds. Everyone was alive by the end, and only one was crying. I can't believe I used to do that for a living. After a yummy lunch at Texadelphia (yes, my craving) Matt took the boys to Shake's for ice cream, and I headed off to a baby-girl baby shower for a friend. There was lots of pink, and lots of cute things that if I had had the diaper bag with me, they might have come home to my house! :) I did learn that I MUST STAY OUT OF CARTER'S for now. We took an evening trip to the pool. Noah has become quite the little swimmer. I think by next summer, he will be ready to go down the big slides! He and daddy wrestled all over the pool. He has one more swimming lesson this Wednesday. Yay. I don't know what I was thinking scheduling lessons on Wednesdays. I'm in playgroup withdrawl.

Next on the agenda, planning Logan's birthday party. We will be celebrating at the lake with family and some close friends for the weekend of his birthday. It will be a "Party on Papa's Boat!" (With a little Thomas the Train thrown in on the side!)

So now that I've rambled, maybe the Blog juices will be flowing again. All I know is that MY tummy is telling me that I'm ready for dinner. Oh, and there is a baby girl doing back flips in there too!

First Pink Experience

Well, I almost made it a week without buying something. But then I went to Target last night. Baby girl has her first official pink outfit! It's hard to resist when there's a Toby on it!

I still can't believe I'm having a girl!

Introducing Sarah Cheyenne Brehm!

More Pink!!!

So, I find out I'm having a girl on Wednesday, I leave for New Orleans

on Thursday, and get a phone call on Friday that Chey (my sister-in-law)

is pushing! They didn't know what they were having.

My brother Jimmy, the proud Daddy, and her big brother Eric!

Eric holds the sweet baby girl.

We went by the hospital today on our way back to Austin from New Orleans. She is so beautiful - total Brehm, with the exception of mom's nose and mouth. I'm even more excited to be having a girl now! She already has girl cousins on both sides. All within 8 months of each other! God is so good!

Now I need to go to bed. I'll blog about our trip to New Orleans tomorrow.
