a bako visit, a wedding, and some shopping

Leave a comment

This weekend was a bit chaotic, and also a bit wonderful at the same time. My work had a huge event that required nearly all of my energy. Brett and I were up at 8am helping set up everything and left around noon to begin our trek to bakersfield for a friends wedding. We made it up there at about 2, went to the wedding at 330 and were out with his friends until 1am. Needless to say…i was quite the tuckered out pregnant lady.

We do enjoy when we get to get fancy though. We don’t do it very often…but I think us Lemsters clean up pretty well.

Sunday was a family day and we were able to go to church with everyone and see the bako side. There were lots of belly rubs and excited conversation and it was fun to be around more people that are just as excited about our growing family as we are : ). There are some good ones up there.

Post lunch we did a little shoppin and bretts mom bought penny some pretty adorable outfits. My favorite was this little overall stripey shirt combo, that coincidentally enough matched one of bretts t shirts exactly. I die. The thought of them matching was about the cutest thing ever to me, and i giggled as i looked at all her little tiny clothes spread out on the floor.

(sidenote: how fun is the new a beautiful mess app?!…ive been playing with it a ton and its fun to see everyone adding little details to their photos here and there. the ladies over there did a wonderful job with this thing…i highly recommend it!)

We also scoped out a “totally bad ass” (bretts words) stroller at babys r us. Its an epic jogging stroller with some pretty sweet bonus features and we are all about it. Baby gear is still completely overwhelming to me, but i think having brett there makes it a little less scary. Plus it was super helpful to have mama carolyn walk us around and tell us what everything was…ha!

Then we got to go to dinner with bretts dad and step mom before heading home. Its so cute to see how excited his dad is about this little one.

All in all it was a very action packed weekend but it was super fun to see some faces that we dont get to see often and to celebrate the marriage of some pretty awesome peeps! I wish we could make it up there more often.

Happy Monday and Cheers to another week!

oh little lady,

we are head over heals for you! we’ve already begun special care in getting your room all sorted out for you. i love to think of you sleeping/not sleeping in there and growing and learning and getting lots of kisses all over your sweet little face from me and your dad. your kicks are getting so much bigger…and higher! the other day you kicked me so high it scared me, you are getting so big! sometimes i get so preoccupied that i forget your in there, and then you give me a swift kick in the belly and remind me.

Yesterday we did our first pregnancy work out and let me tell you it was no easy task. I’m gonna start taking better care of us : ). Going on long walks with your dad and doing some work outs here and there, ill try not to move around too much so you aren’t getting all shakin up in there.

You are still super into eating things with chalula and ranch dressing. Although today you have had a huge hankering for some sort of sorbet or an icey coffee beverage of sorts. This heat is already doing a number on us, and i think we just want something fresh, light and chilly.

we love you penny! keep growing strong!

XOXO,

M

I am not a pink lover. Even my own mom gives me grief about how she “prayed and prayed for a little girl, so I could put her in all things frilly and pink, and you hated all things girly”.

Which is true. I used to steal my brothers (who is 8 years older) t-shirts and wear them with my leggings with the stirrups and my multi colored scrunch socks (yeah 90s kid).

In one of my mini pinterest binges during the work day, i realized that i may be a little bit swooning over peach. All shades of peach. I have in mind to use tons of color in our little girls room, but these little peach and grey accents. I’m loving it.

We already had in mind for the nursery that our main colors would be black white and grey and then we could get fun with whatever colors we wanted after we found out what we were having. Its been fun looking at all of this bright and cheery decor for our little lady.

Ive pretty much been obsessed with these little yarn poms for a while now, and luckily the person who lived in our apartment before us left 4 hooks in the ceiling right above where the crib will go. I plan on hanging a ton of these little fluff balls above the crib. There are also a couple of etsy shops ive been dying to purchase from and I finally get to pick my favorites now that we know who we’re buying for! I’m excited (im sure brett is terrified).

Dear little lady,

Your dad and I were shocked to find out that you are indeed a little baby girl! And even more shocked when we decided to give you a different name than the one we’ve planned all along. We’ve decided to name you Penelope Joy Lemster. Joy is a pretty special name. My mom gave me the name Joyce as my middle name after her mom, and so I’m handing the name down to you. Its fun to already have something special to hand down to you. We’ve been loving calling you by name, even this morning when your dad went to work he gave me the usual kiss on the forehead and i love you and then turned and said “i love you too penny”. My sleepy heart just melted. Everyone is SO excited about you and you even got your first present from my boss this morning. Its a cuddly little bunny rabbit with rosy red cheeks. You are going to LOVE it.

Our doctor said that you are growing just fine, your even 3 days ahead of schedule and everything is growing perfectly. We’re so proud of you!

This weekend I plan on getting some things up in your nursery. Now that I know who you are I’ve got some great ideas for your little space : ).

You are so amazing Penny, we are so incredibly thankful for you and we feel so lucky that we get to be your parents.

We love you little lady.

XOXO,

M
