Peanut Hampton's Nursery

Over the past two weekends Justin and I have been working diligently to fix up the nursery and we are just about there! Justin has been such a good sport with how much building, measuring and hanging has been required through the process. My specialty has been picking out, purchasing, staging and making everything look perfect! :-) We are so proud of all of our hard work and think it turned out great! Below are a few pictures of what we've accomplished. We love it and can't wait to bring our little peanut home to enjoy it!

Hampton Night Out!!

A lot of you have asked for me to upload more pictures. So I'm sharing with you our exciting night out that we had this past Saturday evening.

We had a fantastic time at Nationals Park watching the Nationals vs. Pirates game with our friends Mike and Laura Scufca. Unfortunately the Pirates lost, but we still had a great time! After the game they actually had a free post game concert featuring Martina McBride. I love her, loved the concert and sang my heart out. ;-)

Take a look at the adorable shirt that Justin got me for the game. Just in case you can't read it, it says "Future Fan" with an arrow pointing down at my belly. Love it!! My sweetie is the best!

Loving Life!! :-)

The summer is flying by and so is my pregnancy!! I can't believe that I will 27 weeks this weekend!! I am still feeling fantastic and feel blessed that I've had such an easy uneventful pregnancy thus far. Through every appointment and every test that I've had, the doctors say that everything looks great and that I'm right on the mark of where I should be! I've talked to so many woman with so many issues or who are just miserable being pregnant. I, on the other hand, have been loving it!! The only thing that I can possibly complain about is having to get up to use the restroom a few times throughout the night and that my feet and ankles look like tree trunks by the end of each day, but if that's the worst of it, then I feel pretty lucky!

I love that pregnant woman seem to make everyone so happy! People are more pleasant and seem more cheerful when they see or interact with me. It's like they can't help but smile at the sight of a pregnant lady. I'm naturally a happy-go-lucky, cheerful person, so the positive energy that I constantly feel around me has been fantastic!! Not to mention feeling spoiled. People being extra courteous, opening doors, holding elevators and always wanting to feed me. I've joked that I've loved being pregnant so much that I may have an identity crisis after the baby is born. What...I'm not the pregnant lady so you don't want to spoil me anymore? ;-)

Throughout this pregnancy Justin has been my night and shining armor!! Who knew he had it in him? Just joking! He has been so sweet and so supportive. I honestly can't say enough about how attentive and nurturing he has been. He continues to surprise me on a daily basis by how thoughtful, invested and excited he is with this pregnancy and peanut Hampton. I feel so taken care of and so loved that it makes me want to cry. I feel more connected to him than I ever have before and thank god that I have such an amazing husband!! I love you Justin and thank you for everything that you do!! I appreciate you more than you will ever know and can't imagine my life without you!! Peanut Hampton is so lucky to have you as a father!!

I can honestly say that I feel like this pregnancy has been the happiest time of my life thus far and I know that it is only going to get better with our new bundle of joy that will be here soon! Since as far back as I can remember, my primary objective in life has been to have a happy little family and my dreams are about to come true! I am so blessed!!
