Nashville Trip -25 Weeks


We took a Francoz family trip to visit Steph and Tyler, and by we I mean Adrian, me, Sylvie, Philippe, and of course Abbie! Getting there was rather interesting as Sylvie left a few days before us, Adrian had a free ticket with Southwest and flew out of Ontario, and Philippe and I flew out of LAX as it was cheaper than Ontario. The plane ride was okay, but I got uncomfortable about half way through the trip. I had to get up and stand a lot. We left on November 21st and returned on the 25th. It was a very quick trip, but it was a lot of fun!

Abbie's Nursery

Adrian and I decided to get our little baby's room started as far as getting decorated. We already had the furniture purchased, but needed to create a theme, which was more difficult than I thought. I knew I didn't want a whole lot of pink, but also wanted her room to be cute, girly, and cozy. I looked online for different ideas, browsed around in all the baby stores, and finally found something I really liked.

I found bedding that inspired me to create her theme. Her room is a whimsical nature scene with little birds, flowers, and a big tree. I told Adrian that it would look wonderful to have a mural on the wall that matches her bedding. We were looking around to hire someone, but then Adrian decided that he would like to do it!

We woke up early, went to Home Depot and bought paint, and began our big art project! It took 2 days to complete. Adrian did most of the painting and I LOVE it!



Here is the finished mural.

He did another one over her closet.

We still have a lot to get done, but are going to wait until after my shower to see what we get. I would like a matching hamper, valence, and mobil for her room, as well as a glider rocking chair and ottoman. Adrian also wants to add crown molding and frame her window. I can't wait to have it all done!

23 weeks

Just celebrated my 27th birthday and I can say that getting older isn't as bad as people may think. I am so excited to be maturing more and learning a lot of new things as I age. I think this moment is the best age for me to be starting a family. I already took care of my own needs: college, job, husband, house, and am now able to focus my attention on my growing baby.

My belly is growing by the week and I am able to feel baby Abbie move more. It makes me laugh to see my belly twitch when a big punch or kick is made. Adrian is also enjoying feeling her movements and watching the way my body responds.
