The baby nursery ~ part one

It took awhile to get the spare bedroom emptied of all my belongings, but FINALLY we were able to decide on a nursery color. It only took three paint samples to pick out the PERFECT chocolate brown. We went with a Benjamin Moore color called coconut grove.


Once we got the room painted, Ryan was able to put the crib together. We have decided to go with more modern furniture ( a gift from Oma and Opa, thanks SO much mom and dad!! ).

We and maybe I should I, have decided to do the nursery in an woodland animal theme. I am painting things like tree branches and little animals on the walls. I REALLY hope the baby likes it!! So I would say maybe a week more of painting and I should be done, phew!! And Grandma Didi is making ALL the baby bedding and window treatments! ( what a special baby gift! ). I can hardly wait to see what it all looks like!!

30 weeks!

Well, baby S has come a long way, and now we only have 10 more weeks to go (hard to believe!).

I just know that these next few months are gonna go by VERY quickly, I am excited for what is to come, but very nervous as well.

25 weeks

Baby Boy Spoelhof is growing very nicely, and we have reaced the 25 week mark. :)

ROBINETTE'S 2010

Quick trip to the Windy City

Enjoying the beautiful weather, and a good breakfast with my two beautiful sisters.

Me and my mom.

Not sure why I thought this was worth taking a picture of, but I like tea and I guess I just thought it was pretty the way they had it arranged. :)

Me and some statue!! LOL! :D

My mom wanted me to take a picture of this, she has a thing for Native Americans! :)

It's a boy!!

He's a boy!! :)

At Maggie and Dave's Wedding

Ryan's baby brother Dave got married to Maggie today, Ryan was a groomsman in the wedding. We asked for a picture of us since we rarely dress up these days. :)
If you look VERY close, you might be able to see the baby bump.
