Luiza's room

We are almost there and Luiza's room is almost ready for her. Last week, while my brother and sister in law were here, we assembled the crib and dresser. My sister in law washed Luiza’s bedding and clothes, and arranged everything for me on the crib and closet.

Luiza already has more clothes than me, my husband and Lucas together.

I got all her bedding in Brazil while visiting our family last month.

We are not done yet, this weekend my husband will hang some shelves on the wall, and I am still shopping for a sleep sofa, or a day bed, or maybe just a chair for her room.

Here are some pictures of her room.

Coffee Filter Wreath Tutorial

Craft time!!!! I am looking for things to decorate my nursery and I just found this Coffee Filter Wreath at A Glimpse Inside. I really think that it will look great at the hospital door when I have my baby girl and then I can bring it back home and place it at her nursery. I am decorating everything in pink, white, green and a little of purple. ( at least in my mind I am doing it, because I did not start putting my plans in action yet, but I will, soon!!!)
Go to A Glimpse Inside and check this great, fun and easy tutorial for you to do!!!
Have fun!!!!

Baby Shower and more

I am back!!!!

There is a lot going on in my life right now and that is why I am out. I am going crazy with all the things that I want to get done at the same time, but that is the way I am, and if I didn’t have all those things to do, I would create some. I am nonstop, just like my grandmother.

My husband and I are waiting for some important papers to arrive on the mail at any time, so we could go to Brazil to visit our families. Without this paper we can’t go, and because we don’t know when we are getting it, we can‘t make any plans, we can’t buy our tickets, we are stuck here!!!

So, since we are here, why not get some things done here right?! That is what we are trying to do. We are almost finishing our family/playroom upstairs, and I am very excited with the way it is turning out. Like I had promise before, when we finish I will post some before and after pictures here.

Last week I had the most beautiful baby shower ever!!! My friends organized it for me and it turned out so cute!!!

Regina was in charge of the decoration. She is amazing. She should be working as a party planner. She made some pop Cakes and decorates it like flowers in pink, purple and green. It turned out so cute!!!

My Brazilian friends were in charge of the great food and games. They painted my face every time I did not guess one of the gifts and let me tell you, because you will never see it, I ended up with a mustache, beard, and some tattoos all over my face. We had fun!!!

Here are some pictures of the shower!!! A especial thank you to my special friends!!!!

Nursing Cover

I am not sure if I just did not know about it or if it is kind of  new thing, but when Lucas was born I did not have one of those and I would probably use it a lot if I had since I breastfed him for 10 months.
I found here at Diary of a Quilter a tutorial on how to make your own Nursing Cover. Check it out!!! It is pretty easy to make one!!!

Breaking News - It's a Girl!!!!

Well, when I was at my 12 weeks we did an ultrasound and we were told that we are having a boy. The guy told me that he was 90% sure it was a boy. On top of that I check that Chinese Birth Calendar and it just confirm what the guy had told us. 

So, after that, we told everyone that we were having a boy. I started shopping for boy's clothes, planning a boy' nursery and so and so.

Yesterday we went back to have the 4D ultrasound and the lady kindly asked me if we wanted to know the sex. I, without thinking, told her that we knew it already: It is a boy! A few minutes later she asked me if I took the tag out of all the things that I got for " Baby Boy" and  I said no. So she said: “Good for you. You are having a girl and you better starting buying all the pink clothes now!!!”

We could not believe it. I almost jumped out of the bed. I was laughing, crying.. all at the same time. My husband was kind of frozen. He asked her to check it again, again and again to make sure that now there was no mistake.

We were very happy with the news of having a boy, especially for Lucas. They would be great brothers and friends, but we are very happy too with the news that we are having a Girl and not a boy, so now we will have our prince and our princess, and I can't wait to meet her.

Pictures of the 4D will be posted  soon. 

Pregnancy Pictures

I am 18 weeks right now and can't wait to meet my little one. Baby is growing healthy and fast and mom is doing great too.
So far I did not have any funny wishes, but I am thinking about creating some, just for the fun of it, LOL.
Baby is moving a lot and I love to feel it.
We are having our 4D ultrasound today. I promise to post some pictures of our precious little one soon.
Have a good day!!!!

Well, here is how things are going in my house right now. As you all now I am pregnant, we are expecting our second son and I can't wait to meet him.  We live in a 3 bedroom house that has an unfinished bonus room since when we bought it. With our second son in his way we need an extra bedroom, so we decided to work on that. Calm down, let me be clear, we decided to have someone working on that. We did think ( my husband did to be honest with you) about doing it ourselves, but with my husband working 80 hours a week and me been pregnant and taking care of a lovely 19 months old Prince, that was going to be impossible. So for almost 2 weeks already I have people working on my house. I don't even need to say that my house is a mess right now. Dust everywhere, no matter how much I clean it, it still not cleaned, but I am sure it will pay back in the end. The room is already looking great and I can't wait to have it ready and share with you guys.  I promise I will post a before and after picture of it, when I have it ready.
I am also working on a picture board for Lucas' room and another board for baby's room that I think is going to look great ( I hope so). I will post some pictures of it later too. Since Lucas was born I wanted to do it for him and never had the time or chance to do it, but now I will find a time to do not just one, but 2 of those boards.
Is that enough for one person to be doing at the same time? No? Ok, here we go. My list keeps growing. I am also getting ready for my son' birthday party. His party will be a Farm Party. I love organizing and decorating kids' party. I should work with it! So, I am already going crazy with all the ideas on my mind. I just need a little more time to do all that, but I will get it all done, you will see.
Have a great day!!!!!

The Big News

We are very happy with this Great Big News and wants to share it with all of you!!!

Beautiful Belly!

I know I said I was going to post only things related to Christmas this month, but I cannot let it pass. I took some pictures of my pregnant friend last week. She is almost 30 weeks already and looks gorgeous. It was one of the coldest days of this winter so far, and we went to the Botanical Garden. I just love that place, it is so beautiful there. I took Lucas with us, since I did not have anyone to take care of him and I need to say, he was a gentleman, 10 points for you Lucas!!!!

Here is a picture of her beautiful Belly!!! Can’t wait to meet this precious baby!!!
