Well, the cat is out of the bag! We have another boy on our hands!!! Don't ask about a name, because we can't agree. The baby shall remain nameless for now. We are so excited for Jax to have a baby BROTHER! 

My co-workers were kind enough to throw a party for me to announce the gender, it was so thoughtful and I really enjoyed it. My momma made the adorable cake of course, and everyone brought yummy food! 

That is all a pregnant lady needs after all, correct? Cake and food. 

And pictures of my mothers lovely cake! 

We're Expecting!!

The cat is out of the bag my friends! The Taylor's are taking over! We are expecting a new addition to our family on February 28th, 2015.

Our first ultrasound was about 8 weeks, we are about 11 weeks along now! We couldn't be more excited!

The Wedding Registry

So, if you didn't get the little card with your announcement (which most of you probably didn't, because I forgot to put them in a batch or two :/) then you should know we are registered at Target.

Oh for the baby too.

But, I have received some.. not really complaints.. but comments.. on the size of my registry.
So far I have like 50-75 things on there, which apparently is not very much because everyone keeps telling me to add more. Oops!

But having a registry with 300 items on it to me is like having a Christmas list with 300 items on it, hello excessive? I couldn't even think of 300 things that are in my parents house right now!

I lived on my own for awhile, so I have a lot of the basics, and I hate to ask for all the big stuff as wedding gifts. But to make you happy I will add more, so if you looked before and couldn't find anything... check back again. or give cash. cash is good?

We also love:

Movies
Blankets
Tupperware
Gift Cards (for restaurants too! date night?)
Baby Stuff (we ARE having a baby shower on the 4th of March)
Storage stuff (like those big rubber bins things? and shelves)
And if anyone is feeling overly generous, we do need a dining room table! lol

Either way we love you all and thank you for your love and support!

20 weeks!

**baby update**
I just realized I have been so busy with the finalizing the wedding (which some of you told me you got the wedding announcements! that's great! I hope you liked them) and getting "after the wedding" plans situated... I totally neglected to update everyone on baby Jaxon!

As of this upcoming Sunday, I will be 20 weeks pregnant (HALF WAY!). On Monday; I had my regular check-up, which went very well.. We got to have a second ultra-sound because it was scheduled before all that other test business, and my baby boy is still looking healthy! They said he is in the 50% percentile as far as size for my stage in the pregnancy and there was no protein in my urine this time! (which means no signs so far of pre-eclampsea)

And for those of you who do not know yet, yes I have felt the baby kick! (:

33 days and counting!

okay, first of all can I just tell you how hard it is a plan a wedding in 3 months... with almost no money. Thanks to my hard working mother and brother (plus a LOT of help from friends... mainly sister Handy YOU ARE A SAINT) I think we may actually pull it off.

I know it is clique of me to want the perfect wedding in my condition, but I am still a girl people! Up until the day I knew we were getting married I had always planned on some super natural wedding with tree branches as center pieces and a lot of mellow toned tans... buttt of course the minute it was official that went out the window! I wanted a bright happy summer wedding.

I of course plan on posting pictures of the actual thing.. but in case it is a train wreck, I'd like to share my vision and I'll let you decide just how much it did NOT match up!

The wedding is 33 DAYS AWAY! And Colton and I are so excited! I have decided to do a pale yellow and sapphire blue back yard wedding (: So far these have been my inspiration...

It is all coming together and like I already said, I'M EXCITED! Of course we are on a budget, so we will a lot of it will be DIY which I like.

We bought blue paint last night and we are going to goodwill to get some picture frames. I bought my wedding shoes from amazon for $33.00 (cannot wait to see them)
A couple weeks ago we bought a bunch of mason jars from goodwill and we are having a friend do the vinyl A+C as well as the vinyl "I Do" for my shoes (:

Sister Handy is SEWING all the vests for 6 groomsmen and 2 ring bearer AND my wedding dress (like I said, she is a SAINT!)

And we plan on buying white flip flops and gluing blue flowers on them for the flower girls. Who are also having dresses made from tulle (and will probably cost $20.00!)
The most expensive thing I have bought so far... and yes I am including my wedding dress... is the Bridesmaid dresses, which we found on Alibaba for $62.00.

I will keep you posted as a come up with new ideas and what not... but with 33 days until the big day... I doubt there is going to be much time for blogging!
