LittLe MaN'S RoOm

Now that we only have a few weeks left until our due date we're starting to put the finishing touches on our little man's room. There are a few things that I would still like to do to but I figured it was done enough to share. 

When we were trying to decide on the theme of his room all I knew is that I didn't want it to be a "baby" room. I really wanted it to be a little boys room that he wouldn't grow out of too fast. 

So when Cory and his mom came home with this picture, it kind of became the inspiration of the whole room.

I thought it was SO sweet that when Cory saw this picture he just HAD to buy it for the baby's room!

We found this dresser for $20 dollars at the antique store in town and Cory & his mom refinished it for me! I am absolutely in love with it! 

A HUGE thank you to Cory's sister Sheri for giving us this amazing crib! 

I feel like me and the little man will spend many sleepless nights in this chair :]

I had to get a good picture of the curtains! My mom made these out of dark brown burlap. I LOVE them! 

Just a few of the little details. I love this quote SO much! His Grandma Shelly had it made for me to put in his room. These are his first pair of boots! His Grandma Janet bought them for him and Cory pulled them out and is just waiting for the day he can wear them! 

Like I said before...it's not completely finished but it's pretty close! We are getting so anxious to show him his room. I couldn't have done it without a ton of help from Cory, Janet, and my mom! 

Thanks everyone! 

ANdeRson UpDatE...

I feel like I haven't blogged in ages. We've been pretty busy with getting things ready to meet our little man! First of all we got a "Family" vehicle! Turns out the trusty old Malibu might not cut it with a baby on board, so we got a 2013 Jeep Compass! It was really hard for me to stop driving the Malibu. That car has been awesome & kind of became a part of me. But it's nice knowing that I have a reliable car for me and the baby to travel in.

Here's a picture of what it looks like....

We've also been getting the little man's room ready! We've had SO much help from both of our mom's. They've helped refinish furniture and make bumper pads, quilts, and curtains. Hopefully we'll have it done soon! I'll post pictures as soon as we do.

We are on our final countdown now!!! We are both getting SO SO excited. I can't believe we're this close. We will keep everyone posted! :]

UpDaTe On OuR Little MaN.....

How far along?  28 Weeks! 

Maternity clothes? O Yes! What would I do without them?!?!

Stretch marks? Nope.

Best moment this week: Cory felt the little man have hiccups. So sweet!

Miss Anything? I miss being able to comfortably paint my toenails! Ha

Movement: Yep! He sleeps most of the day but when he's awake, he's busy!

Food cravings: Mostly vegetables. I crave the CRUNCH more than the actual taste. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Gender: Boy!

Labor Signs: Not really,  but I can feel that my hips are starting to move apart.

Belly Button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? Off. I've become allergic to it so I prefer not to wear it most the time.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Mostly happy. You might have to ask Cor though. :]

Looking forward to: Finishing his room!

UpDaTe.....

Wow am I behind! We moved to a different house and haven't had internet for awhile so I haven't been able to blog. So I'll do a quick update about what we've been up to the last couple months!

1. We found out on December 13th that we're having a BOY! When she told us we couldn't believe it! I couldn't help but crying! Our little man will be the first baby to carry on the Anderson name. We so feel so blessed and can't wait to meet our little man!

2. We spent at home in Montana this year. It was a wonderful Christmas! A few days after Christmas we all headed down to Salt Lake to see Jodi's kids and the rest of our family that lives down there. We almost had the entire family together, which is a HUGE deal with how big our family is.

3. Cory is back in school and doing awesome & I'm still at the hospital working in Patient Financial Services.  We love that our home is closer to Cory's parents and out of town. Copper especially loves it! She runs and plays all day!

I have a little less than a 3 months left until my due date & I am beginning to get anxious. Cory, my mom, and mother in-law have been amazing in helping me get things done before our little guy arrives! Hopefully we'll finish up his room soon and I can share pictures! We love him so much already!

FaLL HoLiDaYs....

I know, I know. I am completely late on this post. I have been meaning to blog about Halloween & Thanksgiving but things have been a little crazy around here. 

HALLOWEEN: 

This year we helped my mother in law set up for the ward Trunk or Treat. It was fun getting to see our cute little nieces dress up, not to mention our Copper dog. We dressed her up as a witch. :]

Jade was NOT thrilled to be there. But still the cutest lady bug EVER!

McKayle & Savanna were beautiful fairy's. 

I love these little girls SO SO much!

THANKSGIVING:

This year we went home to my parents house to spend the holiday. We left Wednesday after I got off work and got there late. Thanksgiving was really nice. My whole family was there & my cousins Colby & Karson came & Colby's wife Alyssa. 

The day after Thanksgiving me and Cory decided to go to Preston to see my Grandma & Grandpa Robinson's to visit & then slowly headed to Logan. (Hoping we would miss all the crazy shoppers) We got there and ate at the Olive Garden. And then we got a lot of our shopping done and we got to see a couple of our good friends. I was so excited to see Kady even though it was just for a second. After that we headed over to Auston & Chelsey's cute house and visited. Then we headed home.

The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful. It was really nice to go home and see my family since it's been awhile.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

For those of you that don't know, we're moving....again. This is the 4th time in 2 1/2 years of marriage. Ha We're not moving far though. Cody & Brittanee moved to Blackfoot, ID for work. So me and Cory are going to be moving into the house they lived in. It will be pretty nice to have more space with the baby coming. 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST....we get to find out if our little peanut is going to be a BOY or GIRL soon! We find out on December 13th. We can't wait! <3

AS OF LATE.....

WHITNEY:

It seems like a lot has changed in just the last couple of weeks. I started my new job at the hospital as a patient financial specialist. So far it's been great...I just have to get used to full time hours all over again. But we feel so blessed because I was able to start this job a week after Cory was laid off from the BLM. We 

really weren't sure how we were going to pay all of our bills, but our prayers were answered. 

CORY:

Cory is still going to school full time and then at night he goes and rides some horses for a man in our ward. It's so nice that he has been able to go and ride and on the weekends he has started elk hunting with his brother Cody. Those were the things that we missed SO much when we lived in Utah. 

COPPER:

Copper is all grown up. She's no longer a puppy but I refuse to believe it. She is completely house trained and we don't know what we did without her. It snowed here today and that was the first time she's ever seen  snow. So when Cor took her potty she started running around like crazy and forgot the reason why they were out there. She's a silly dog but we love her lots.

BABY ANDERSON:

Our little peanut is just growing away. I have started to get a little baby bump. It's been hard to tell if it's really a baby bump or if I'm just bloated. Ha Ha I haven't had hardly any morning sickness at all and next week I will be in my second trimester. Woo Hoo! We are getting closer to finding out if our little one is a he or a she! We can't wait!

THE MR. & MRS.

This is kind of old news but Cory & I got our first official church callings a couple months back. Cory is a counselor in Young Men's and I am a Primary teacher (5 year olds). Cor really likes getting to know the young men and I get to teach my niece Savanna's class. There are only 3 kids in my class, 2 boys (Milo & Jesse) & 1 girls (Savanna). And some Sundays...it's an adventure. Ha Ha We've both really enjoyed our callings and we love our ward. I personally LOVE having our family in our ward too. 

Well that's the Anderson's as of late. :]

Baby Anderson...

Cory & I are SO excited to announce that we're expecting on May 4th, 2013. We just couldn't hold it in any longer. We already told all of our close family & friends, but couldn't wait to tell EVERYONE!  

Our Baby Story (so far):

After we moved to Montana we decided that we were ready to start our little family. I was more than excited because anyone that knows me, knows that all I've ever wanted is to be a mom! So even though it was only a couple months I was getting very discouraged with negative pregnancy tests. Until one day I was home alone and got this overwhelming feeling that I needed to go take another test. Before I read the test I prepared myself for disappointment. But this time it was positive! So of course I just started running around the house in happy tears. Copper thought I'd gone mad! Ha Ha Then I stopped. What IF the test is wrong?!?! So me & Copper immediately got in the car and bought two more tests and they both ended up being positive. I couldn't wait for Cory to get home to tell him. He was SO happy! We really couldn't be any happier. Now we patiently wait for our bundle of joy to make his or her appearance in this world. We love you already Baby Anderson. <3
