Lila's Cradle

My Dad made another gorgeous cradle! He made a beautiful one for Abigail, and now it is Lila's turn to have her own custom made treasure!

This one is made of walnut, and every single inch of it was completely handmade by Pops!! I just love it!

My sweet Grandpa gifted us the cradle linens. I just love the unexpected color combination, and it matches our copper and chocolate colored room perfectly!

I can't wait to see her sleeping in her beautiful cradle. I just hope she actually does some of that....you know..... SLEEPING!

Some Progress on the Baby's Room

Sorry for being so long between posts. I've been SOOOO busy with my efforts to get fatter. Between Oreo breaks and countless hours spent on creating ice cream sundaes that have never been attempted before, I just have been terrible about keeping up with a lot of things...blogging is certainly included in that.

We have made some progress in the baby's room. I knew I wanted to do a monogram on her wall like we did in Abigail's room. We finally got that finished last week. Isn't it cute!!

Curtains are almost done. We are just waiting for some more fabric to make the sheers, and then we are done there. I've got to finalize the stuff I'll be hanging on the walls, and then I promise a full nursery post with photos of the whole room! Keep in mind this child may be in college by the time that happens, but I have good intentions.

Well, gotta go... this vanilla cream pie is certainly not going to eat itself.

We Have The Bedding!

Well, it is really coming together now...

We got all of the bedding put in the crib, and Abbie thinks it is cute enough for her baby sister.

Now, if we could only name this child...

We Have The Crib!!

James and Abbie worked really hard to get the crib all put together this weekend. I think it looks beautiful.

The room is starting to come together!!

Just another day preparing to be a family of 4 Being Billingsley...

We Have Paint!

James and his Mom spent the day Monday painting the nursery for our little girl. The colors are so fun and bright.

They did a great job! I can't wait to get the furniture and the bedding in there.

So cute!!!

2.0's 20 Week Sonogram

Well, today was the big day! James and I headed downtown to have our big sonogram.

2.0 was healthy in every way. The sono took an entire hour because this baby was not cooperative at all! I remember when we had this sonogram with Abbie, and she was so willing to show us and the sonographer everything we needed to see. This baby...not so much. However, the baby is cute and has a GIANT head just like Abbie did.

We also learned that this baby is a sweet baby girl! So, as James said walking out the door, let the fight over her name begin! Somehow I think I'll win...what do you guys think?

Just another exciting day Being Billingsley...

Version 2.0

Well, I have a lot to apologize for...

1. If we've been shopping, and you've noticed I wear the same sad elastic waist black pants... I'm so sorry for the embarrassment.

2. Along the same lines, while we were shopping, if you were concerned that I accidentally put on one of Abbie's shirts before I left the house because it was so tight that my belly hung out the bottom...again, I'm terribly sorry I embarrassed you.

3. If you've tried to call after 7:00 PM to find out what in the world I was talking about on your voicemail earlier in the day, only to find that I've already gone to sleep...I am sorry.

4. If I've been to lunch with you recently, and puked into my napkin and/or the parking lot on the way to our cars...soooo sorry.

I promise I have a good excuse for everything...

The truth is, I HAVE A STOWAWAY! Little Billingsley Version 2.0 will continue to hitch a free ride in my belly until July 21, 2009!

So...anyone interested in a buffet of buffalo wings with blue cheese and cocktails on July 22?
