Gownies

Some of you might be a little curious what the heck I'm going to blog about but I found this wonderfully amazing thing called a Gownie.

It is a hospital grade gown made especially for pregnant women so that they can feel beautiful even under the difficult circumstances of childbirth. It has the shoulder snaps just like a hospital gown for easy access and one of the things that I LOVE is that is snaps all the way down the back instead of a couple of ties that show off your hiney when you have to get up out of the bed. Yes it might be a little vain to want to look somewhat fashionable during those first pictures but anything to make me more comfortable is what's important :) Oh and I'm going to treasure those first pictures of our new little miracle so my opinion counts!

These are the two that I got.

This one is a Fabulous birthday present from my parents :)

I got this one because it has darker colors and will be able to hide things a little better should it get dirty during delivery.

This one I got for after I'm able to get up and shower and change. I'll still be able to be super comfortable and cute at the same time :)

Getting ready for Brison...stage 1

We started getting things ready for our little one to make his arrival...well we ordered some things :) Here are the beginnings of what will be in his room. We, okay so I, decided to go with Black furniture. It's easier to match pieces of black furniture than it is to try to match wood colors. We currently have a 4 drawer dresser that I want to use in the babies room but it's older and needs paint. So Black will be easiest to match.

Here is the crib that we purchased in Black. It's a 4-in-1 convertable so it can made into a toddler bed, day bed, or a full size bed.

This is the changing table/3 drawer dresser we purchased also in Black.

And here is the adorbale bedding that we picked out. Brian's mom used to call him a monkey when he was little so we thought this would be cute for Brison.

I'm so excited for the bedding to come in so that we can pick the paint colors and get started on the room :)
We still have a little less than 17 weeks to prepare but it will be here before we know it :)

Sweet Baby Boy

I know this is long over due...I mean we've known for a little over two weeks that we are expecting a baby Boy in November. It's so exciting to start preparing now that we know what our first child will be. I will post the ultrasound pics soon...just need to scan them in first.

We decided on a name long before we knew if this was a boy or a girl. We are naming this sweet one Brison Jacob. There is a little bit of fun and history in his name that I'll share.

We are naming him Brison because my husband's name is Brian and it is his son sooo...

it's Bri's son...

Well, Okay we LOVE the name Brison too but I think it's absolutely adorable that Brian wants his son to be semi-named after him without being a Jr (which neither of us are very keen on).

We are giving him the middle name Jacob because my mom always had that name picked out for her second boy. But being the lucky woman she is, lol, she was blessed with 4 girls after my brother so there was never an opportunity for her to use the name. So my wonderful and amazing mother is finally getting her Jacob.

Everyday I feel so unbelievably thankful for this gift that I have been given to be a mother. For those of you that know my past, you know that this is a long awaited dream of mine and one that I thought might never come true because of infertility. It is a blessing and miracle that I thank my Heavenly Father for everyday!
