Nursery

VEG out!

...in a GREAT way!!!  Spaghetti squash and pesto. DELISH!  of course you can add a chicken breast or another meat on the side but i didn't have anything and brett is out of town so i didn't need it.

you can ask the hubs...i love spaghetti squash, he does not. 

1 small spaghetti squash
baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 small head of broccoli, chopped
1/4 sweet onion, chopped
1/4 green pepper, chopped
Pesto:
handful of defrosted spinach
handful of basil
2 garlic cloves (only 1 if you don't like "taste" of garlic)
parm cheese
1/2 lemon juice
s&p
EVOO

Cut squash in half and scoop out seeds.  season with salt and pepper and EVOO.  roast cut side down in 375 oven for 30-45 mins.
saute veggies until soft and slightly brown in small amount of EVOO.
in a food processor, pulse all pesto ingredients except EVOO until finely chopped. then add 1 teaspoon at a time of EVOO and pulse. pesto should not be liquidy.
take squash out of oven and let cool....or if you're like me, use a oven mitt b/c i'm not patient! use a fork to scrap squash which makes "spaghetti noodles". SO neat! combine all the ingredients and top with parm cheese.

ENJOY!!!!!!!

did that just happen!!?!?

like overnight?!?!?  for reals, in two days baby boy just popped out! 

Beautiful, Bouncing Baby.....

BOY!!!!!
i can't really explain why i thought it was a boy this whole time but i did.  right before my appt i had one millisecond of a doubt b/c of all those myths like if the heartbeat is this/if you crave this/if you look like this, then you're having a.....
but no, trust your gut ladies!  woman's intuition, i always say!!!  and i thought it was super cute b/c brett kept saying "i don't care what it is, blah blah blah" (i wanted a boy and said so freely) but when we found out he was so excited b/c "every father wants a son"...shut the front door my heart melted seeing into the future watching brett teach baby boy to play golf with his first set of fisher price clubs.
so, now on to VERY IMPORTANT things.....the Nursery!!!!!!!  here are a couple inspiration photos...

i know one is a dining room but i love that striped chair in a serious way. but i also like stripe/chevron rugs....hmmmmm what's a decorator to do?!?! 

second on the agenda....it's FALL!!!!!  seriously, the mornings are glorious here...in the 60's...and it doesn't get that hot. i'm breaking out the boots and i'm super psyched about it. i've decorated and i keep wanting to buy more pumpkins.....is that wrong?

made by yours truly

and btw, i'm 5 1/2 months this week!!!!!!!!!  at first i thought it was going reeeeeeally slow b/c we knew so soon but now i seriously can.not.stop.time. brett is busy with work and week long trips here and there and i feel like we're going to get blindsided by this baby. it'll be january and we haven't painted or decorated or gotten a baby medicine cabinet ready or read enough books about what to do if your baby .....fill in the blank. oh well, here's a pic to lighten the mood!!!!! 

and he was kicking away while i was trying to take this :)
