Nursery!

We are finally done with the nursery! It was a work in progress over the last few months but now we have everything we need and everything is organized and hung. Here are the before and afters!

Can you believe how tiny I was!

I was about 6 months along.

Here I am compared to the other picture.

This was about 2 weeks ago.

My grandma painted these. They match her bedding. Aren't they cute!

So You Think You Can Dance!

I was so excited we were one of the first stops this year on the tour because that meant I can actually go. It was so much fun as it always is and I think we had even better seats then last year. Although the seats were a bit too close to the speakers and at some points I had to cover my ears and I was a little worried for Allie because she kept jumping at all the loud bass. It was so much fun to see our favorite dances. Thanks mom for another awesome birthday present!

The Name Game

I am so excited because my nephew (1 year on Wednesday) finally is saying my name! Whenever he wakes up from his nap he yells Be! Be! which is Beth or Bef. I have been working on getting him to say it and he finally did! He also is starting to do a couple of sign language words that I have been working on too!

So I feel at this point I should explain why I used Beth instead of Elizabeth on the blog and my really weird quirkiness when it comes to my name. This is the one thing I am really weird about and most of you have heard this story. When I introduce myself with a group that includes Matt I have to explain that he will call my Beth but I prefer Elizabeth. This is because I grew up being called Beth and so my family and close friends call me that but when anyone else calls my Beth I feel like I am 5 years old. I can't stand being called Beth but I don't care when it comes to family. Weird huh. So whenever I tell people this story like coworkers and others I will get some smart guy calling me Beth just to bother me. Do not be one of these people! :)

The Reappearing Bellybutton

I have an inny bellybutton. It is pretty deep and so I have never seen the inside of it. Over the last few weeks it has gotten flatter and flatter and more pushed out to were I am now able to see the inside. This morning Allie was doing her usual "bubble dance" I like to call it and shifting and pushing when I looked down and all of the sudden I had a slight inny again. She must have moved into a new position that took pressure off the middle so now it dips in a little more. Funny. :) Oh and we only have 49 more days!!
