This baby is sponsored by...

You know all of those commercials  where the announcer says this "blah blah" is brought to you and sponsored by State Farm! or Circle K! it's always something. Well I figured our baby needed a "sponsored by" shout out haha. Matt and I have been so fortunate in all things baby. There has been so much help from people here and there but my biggest shout out and thank you goes to Jacqui and Valerie. Jax gave us the whole nursery basically. Griffin's crib, change table/dresser, change pad, bedding, some of the wall decorations (including the layout haha), and more that my brain just can't think of right now. My cousin Valerie has also been a huge help letting me borrow basically all of her baby stuff and anything I ask for! Clothes, both maternity and baby, boppy, breast pump, bassinet, moby wrap, the car seat cover pieces and lots of other things.
It really has been a blessing to have all of this help, as well as here and there from others that I didn't mention but really do appreciate it and you! We really do feel blessed and are very thankful.

Yes. We finally decided on a name. - Beckham Chauncey Loper
Beckham was a name both Matt and I liked before we were even thinking of starting to have kids. Like I mentioned before, whatever the first boys name was, his middle name had to be Chauncey, just like Matt and his dad, grandpa, etc. and Beck/Beckham seemed to go nicely.
Eventually the name started to sound weird, you know when you say something so many times it just doesn't sound natural? (Try saying apple like 20 times in a row... it starts to sound weird) That's what happened, and all the other names we thought of just didn't fit either, ha but that's probably because we had been calling him Jershaun for so long!
So there I was at Hobby Lobby, these rusty looking letters were 50% off and I was going to get them! I laid out "Beck" and "Tade" (Taden) and the colors of Beck were better so tah-dah, name picked!

 (I know, the mattress isn't in there yet) The closet is fun, there are two rods for clothing and that shelf which was nice for the storage baskets! the inside of the closet also has some shelves (behind the letters C and K) which are also nice for storage. The picture on the wall is actually a page from an old magazine from like 1940, that I found on ebay! I though it was cool and kind of went with the vintage cars and planes theme.

This glider was a super awesome find. this woman was selling it for $40 and it totally looks new, especially for the cream color! The canvas there is just something I painted, it doesn't really go with the room but that's okay. Haha I spent the time to paint it, so we're just going to pretend it goes.

These are little clothing size dividers I made. It was so simple! I just got A few wooden O's from Hobby Lobby, painted them white, picked out some fun paper, and used matte mod-podge to get them together! Now all I'm missing are the sizes (well and the clothes to go between them haha). I need to find number stickers (0-3, 3-6, etc) and then I'll do one more coat of mod-podge.

Here are just a few more pictures of the nursery.

This wall of decorations is what took forever to finally get up on the wall, therefore keeping this blog post of the nursery/name from all of you -I know, I know, because you care so much!

That empty spot will eventually be filled, I just haven't found the right piece yet! Hopefully the next time we go up to Flagstaff I'll find some sort of old Route 66 type sign.


As far as all things pregnancy goes, everything is normal, I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and have started my weekly doctor visits. I finally per-registered at the hospital yesterday!
My wedding ring and shoes still fit (Hah, probably because all of the "swelling" keeps going to my boobs). 

Getting out of bed to pee so often is a little difficult, just with all the pillows and the rolling and the getting up. But other than that, and the really heavy front weight, I'd say personally the third trimester is not all that bad. Everyone warned me of how bad it was but nothing has been as bad as those first 13 or so weeks!
I have mostly what needs to be in my hospital bag, just haven't packed it yet. I'm waiting until after the shower, which is THIS WEEK!

Hope to see you all Saturday, if you never got me your address, lost your invite, never saw my posts about mailing out invites, and you need the address just call/text/fb message me and I'll get you the info!

Oh, and Lewis is enjoying the nursery too!

 He surprisingly loves to hang out in the crib and on the footstool of the glider. He's kind of funny, I'll find him just wonder into the nursery and just stand there and look around. I think he knows something is coming/changing, and that it has something to do with this room, but he isn't quite sure why we keep hanging out in there haha.
