The crowing piece of the nursery!
In January, I started getting the urge to purge all uneeded crap from the house. We need room for baby boy Szynko. So, here is the pile of items I 86ed. There is quite a bit more, but it did not fit into the photo.
Here are our girls trying to take claim on the bedroom. Little do they know what is going to happen!
Weeded down to bare bones before the conversion begins.
Oh, please note the wonderful basket on the floor in the above picture. The guests from our shower all brought a book for baby Szynko's collection. It is a great assortment and amazingly, there were no repeats! I have always loved to read and can't wait to read them all to our

The whole nursery is a family affair!
Here is our wonderful crib. I just love it. The sheets are Dr. Seuss characters.
Thanks to grandma B and grandpa S for the crib! The room is still a WIP. Grandma B and my aunt Patty are making a Dr. Seuss alphabet quilt for the wall behind the crib.
I am so very excited for it to be done!

LAZYBOY! Multiple parents had informed us that we will want the most comfortable chair possible for all the late night feedings and sick duty. Therefore, we picked out a sinfully cozy one thanks to grandma and grandpa Szynkowski!
I would like to point out the shelves and tell you about them. I had very little input on the organization of the nursery. Those of you who know Jason are aware that he is very systematic and somewhat...anal about the way things are done. When he sets his mind to something, it has to be perfect. He rearranged the furniture and set up of this room (I kid you not) over 30 times. What you won't see in these pictures is the actual furniture we bought for the room. We decided the new furniture just did not fit in the space correctly and instead, put it in our room.
It works so much better, and looks great thanks to Jason's persistence.

We have my dad and Terri to thank for the dresser below. It was actually my dresser when I was younger. Mind you it was white with tuplips then. Thankfully they were willing to store it in their basement until it was needed. A little paint later...and it's a great changing table! We are also very grateful to nana and papa T for keeping our extra furniture in their basement while we try and sell our house. So very helpful!
Here is a better view of the shirt.
A quick shout out to my sister Meredith! She is in the process of training and raising the $2300 required to participate for the Susan G Koman 3-day breast cancer walk this November in Dallas. If you know someone who has been touched by breast cancer and are interested, she is selling handmade mother's day cards to raise money. They are really nice. Here is the link to the card photo.
What elese have we been doing.......still busy fixing up the house for sale. I spent all this weekend painting. I usually enjoy painting. However, all I did was touch up trim and places around the house as needed. It is not as much fun when in the end it looks the same, ha ha=). I went through white, blue, two shades of green, three shades of brown, and red. Phew!
Can't you tell we like color!
Jason was also busy working in the yard and assembling the nursery. He was also able to sneak away and go fishing while the weather was nice. He had very good luck and caught quite a few bass. While he was gone, I went to the Mudhens' game with my PA friends. It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect!
This picture was taken today at 32 weeks!!!! I wanted to focus on the shirt with the cute bumble bee (my nickname). I also have paint in my hair, hence the crop job. I am still doing pretty well except for this humidity. I am a little less tolerant than I used to be. Thank goodness I will delivery in June and not August.

HAPPY EARLY MOTHER'S DAY!
See you back in another few weeks!
We have been super busy with baby registering and preparing the
Here is a picture of me at ~12 weeks. Everything is on track according to Dr. Ruch! Baby's heart beat was high...girl? hmmmm. All I call tell you so far is that this little one does not like caffeine in any form, much to my dismay! Maternity clothes (at least pants) are a must. What I don't understand is why they are so awful!
Here I am at 17 weeks and growing every day! I don't usually have food cravings...but recently I really like doughnuts. Weird. Thankfully I don't keep any in the house. Sorry for the formatting. I am learning still.
