How far along: 32 weeks. My c section or inducement (depending on the position of the bottom baby) is scheduled for February 12th...so 36.5 weeks, which means less than a month away till we meet our boys!!! So crazy to think about!!!! But so much left to do! Crunch time.<br />
<br />
Size of the twinkies: Honey dew melon. I'll get a more accurate weight measurement at my ultrasound this Friday.<br />
<br />
Total weight gain: back down to 31 pounds. Once I was put on the blood pressure meds and wearing compression socks, most of the fluid that was built up in my ankles, face and hands is gone, hence the weight loss.<br />
<br />
Sleep: Still averaging 4-6 times but not going back to sleep...sometimes up for 2-3 hours...but Alison gave me a good book to read during those twilight hours.<br />
<br />
Gender: Twin boys!<br />
<br />
Names: Richard James...aka RJ and John Keefe...aka Johnny.<br />
<br />
Best moment of the week: Going home from the hospital!!! And knowing that the boys and myself are OK. Even though all the nurses were so nice, it is always the best feeling to be in your own home.<br />
<br />
Movement: Oh yea. And while I was at the non stress test, the nurse pointed out that one of the boys was having hiccups. I had never seen that before and it was so funny! <br />
<br />
Anything make you sick or queasy: Pork (except for bacon of course!) and soy sauce.<br />
<br />
Mood: Happy to be home and excited to meet the boys in less than a month!<br />
<br />
Looking forward to: The ultrasound on Friday! And my birthday on Saturday.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
How far along: 31 weeks! Getting there! And I ended up at the hospital at the end of this week due to pregnancy induced hypertension and I was having contractions when admitted into the hospital. I was put on blood pressure meds and modified bed rest (I can walk around to make meals and take a shower and go up and down stairs). I am still able to work from home as long as I am lying down. And I got two shots to mature the boys lungs should I deliver before 34 weeks...minor blip in the road! <br />
<br />
Size of twinkies: squash...again! At the ultrasounds the boys weighed 3 pounds 12 ounces and 3 pounds 13 ounces...76th and 77th percentile! They're growing like weeds!<br />
<br />
Total weight gain: 36 pounds.<br />
<br />
Sleep: Not terrible this week. Still up 4-6 times a week but getting right back to sleep.<br />
<br />
Gender: Two boyzzz.<br />
<br />
Names: My RJ and Johnny.<br />
<br />
Best moment of the week: Getting to see them on the ultrasound screen and knowing that they are growing so fast!<br />
<br />
Movement: Let's just say every nurse that had to do the non stress test or monitor their heart beats every four hours said how active they are. They're already troublemakers!! haha<br />
<br />
Anything making you sick or queasy: PORK! And SOY SAUCE!<br />
<br />
Mood: Grateful that the boys are ok and so am I.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to: Being in my own home!Erin http://www.blogger.com/profile/05503950655322004451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6122677790937846998.post-39348575950419787782013-12-28T17:51:00.001-05:002013-12-28T17:51:31.881-05:00Week 30 #Operationhornettes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sleep: It averages around 4 times a night I would say. Some nights I'll only get up 3 nights and other nights it's 6+ times per night. I'm sure it's only going to get worse but it is what it is. All part of the amazing pregnancy journey.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Movement: They are true boys! Moving all around and I love that I can see them move all around. Their movements are getting stronger and stronger each week. They move all day and when I lay down to sleep but they aren't keeping or waking me up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Names: RJ and Johnny. Can't wait to see them in person! And for those of you who have asked....RJ will be the oldest b/c in womb he is perky and awake in the morning....just like me! And Johnny is the non-presenting (aka the top, aka the youngest) b/c in the womb he is just like Jim....sooooo dramatic when awoken on the early morning ultrasounds.<br />
<br />
Best moment of the week: They are really a moving and a shaking now and I love seeing them move all around in my stomach. The feeling will never, ever get old. <br />
<br />
Movements: See above. <br />
<br />
Anything making you sick or queasy: Still can't handle even the thought of pork or soy sauce. Yuck!<br />
<br />

Looking forward to: Christmas and seeing our family!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Best moment of the week: Making it to the third trimester. When I think how far we've come it brings me to tears. I love feeling them move around and seeing them move. Their kicks are getting stronger and stronger. Mrs. Horne came up this weekend and helped with sewing for the nursery. She sewed the pompom trim on the curtains and a pillow. Jim hung the curtains and we got the gliders delivered and Jim picked up the bookcases and worked on the closet. The nursery is really getting there and is turning into my favorite room in the house. I smile every time I walk by it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Looking forward to: Jim and I are celebrating our Christmas on Saturday together. Massages (a prenatal one for me) and dinner at Capital Grille. Our last Christmas as a family of 3 (too bad there isn't a doggie massage for Sammy)! But so excited for all the holidays with our boys that are yet to come!</div>

How far along: 27 weeks. One week to go till the third trimester and we're in the double digits now in the count down till we meet the little guys!<br />
<br />
Size of the twinkies: Fruit of the week is a head of a cauliflower (seems like the fruit is getting smaller each week, no?). At the ultrasound this week, the ultrasound tech was able to measure their weight. Twinkie A weighs 2 pounds 10 oz and twinkie B weighs 2 pounds 6 oz. They are growing so quickly! Makes mama happy!<br />
<br />
Total weight gain: 26 pounds so far. Right on track.<br />
<br />
Sleep: Well it's going downhill. I now get up at least 4 times per night and sometimes it takes me a while to get back to sleep. Thank goodness for instragram and facebook to fill those sleepless nights.<br />
<br />
Gender: Blue and blue!<br />
<br />
Names: RJ and Johnny.<br />
<br />
Best moment of the week: Any time I get to see them moving and squirming around on an ultrasound is a great week. If they are anything like they are in the womb than Jim and I are going to be chasing those boys around 24/7! We also took our birthing class and it was soooo worth it. We both learned a lot and I think it prepared us for childbirth (well as much as anything can prepare first time parents for childbirth). It was also nice to connect with other twin parents.<br />
<br />
Movement: Kicks are getting stronger and stronger and I'm starting to feel the presenting more and more...too bad I can't actually see the presenting move due to my big belly.<br />
<br />
Anything make you sick or queasy: U got it...pork.<br />
<br />
Mood: Can't believe we're in the double digits for a count down. So crazy excited to meet our little men.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to: A lot of the nursery furniture is going to be delivered this week! I can't WAIT to see it all come together. <br />
<br />

How far along: 26 weeks! It's flying by!<br />
<br />
Size of the twinkies: They are now the size of a cuke. They fruit size corresponds with the head to toe measurement whereas before it was foot to rump. They are about 2.2 pounds and 15" long. I can't believe how big they are!<br />
<br />
Total weight gain: Still at 24 pounds but I go for an appointment tomorrow so I'll get a more accurate reading.<br />
<br />
Maternity clothes: Duh!!! Just got a few new pieces from Target this weekend. I was in need of basic long sleeves.<br />
<br />
Sleep: Still the what-appears-to-be-the-norm 2-3 times per night but the snoogle is saving me along with another pillow that I tuck under my belly. It makes it comfortable to sleep. <br />
<br />
Gender: Boys!!!!<br />
<br />
Names: FINALLY! I can tell the world the names!!! Twinkie A is Richard James (Richard being named after my Dad and James after Jim and my Papa). We plan on calling him RJ. Twinkie B is John Keefe (John being after Jim's Dad and is also my Mom's Dad's name and Keefe being my mom's maiden name). We plan on calling him Johnny or Jack. That is still TBA.<br />
<br />
Best moment of the week: Being able to share the names of the twinks at Thanksgiving dinner. It was a blast to finally being able to tell our family the names (even though there was LOTS of speculation and guesses by everyone beforehand)<br />
<br />
Movement: It's like a jungle gym in there! I love being able to feel and see them move. Such an amazing experience.<br />
<br />
Anything make you sick or queasy: Pork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jim showed me a picture of a roast pork and I almost threw up.<br />
<br />
Mood: Soooo excited to be so close to the third trimester.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to: My appointment tomorrow. They should be able to measure the baby's height and weight. I can't wait to see how much they've grown. <br />

How far along: 25 weeks!!! 3 more weeks till the third trimester!<br />
<br />
Size of the twinkies: Eggplant again. Not sure who determines this but could we get a little more creative this week than eggplant again?? They are measuring 9.2" and weigh in at a whooping 2 pounds! Although we should get a tad more accurate weigh in and measurement when we go for our next ultrasound on December 2nd.<br />
<br />
Total weight gain: 24 pounds based on my last appointment.<br />
<br />
Maternity clothes: You know it!<br />
<br />
Sleep: Only been getting up about 1-2 times/night so not terrible but back to staying up for an hour or so when I get up. Honestly can't complain though because I'm still comfortable sleeping. I owe it all to the snoogle.<br />
<br />
Gender: Two boys all the way!<br />
<br />
Names: They WILL be announced at Thanksgiving dinner this year...can you stand the suspense???<br />
<br />
Best moment of the week: Far and away our baby shower for the twinks. We have never felt more spoiled or loved. It was an amazing feeling yesterday.<br />
<br />
Movement: Yup! They are a movin' and a shakin'.<br />
<br />
Food cravings: Fish has been my protein of choice lately.<br />
<br />
Anything make you sick or queasy: Pork (except for bacon of course!!)<br />
<br />
Mood: So loved and excitement!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How far along: 21 weeks!!! </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Size of twinkies: Size of a squash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Total weight gain: Not sure...won't know till November 6th at my next appointment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maternity clothes: Obvs! Look at me! hahaha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sleep: Getting up about 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom but overall pretty good.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Names: Still deciding between a couple names....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Best moment of the week: Feeling the twinks move never gets old!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Movement: You know it! They are moving more and more. I can't distinguish between the two babes. I've heard and read that twins can start to play games with one another in utero (i.e. one will tap twice and the other will respond.) That would be amazing to feel/witness.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; text-align: start;"><strong>How far along:</strong> 17 weeks and 2 days!<br /><br /><br /><strong>Size of twinkies: </strong>Fruit of the week this week is turnips. 5.5" long and weighing 5 oz each.<br /><br /><strong>Total weigh gain:</strong> I went to the doctor this past week unexpectedly (minor bleeding incident...everything looks great with the babies and me) so I got weighed. I have gained an additional 4 pounds for a total of 11 pounds gained. So I'm right on track so far.<br /><br /><strong>Maternity clothes: </strong>Old Navy is killing it with their adorable maternity clothes. That is definitely my go to store for maternity clothes. I can get away with some regular tanks but other than that I am completely in maternity.<br /><br /><strong>Sleep:</strong> More nights than not now I am sleeping away, only to get up once to go to the bathroom. I have such vivid and clear dreams. I never knew this was a result of pregnancy! The things you learn!<br /><br /><strong>Gender:</strong> Only one more week till we find out the gender of the other twinkie!!! Will we share or won't we???</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; text-align: start;"><br /><strong>Names:</strong> Not sharing quite yet!<br /><br /><strong>Best moment this week: </strong>I definitely have felt the babies move and hands down it is the most amazing feeling in the world. It feels like tiny kicks. I also got to hear the heartbeats again at the doctors. One was 150 and the other 160. Nice, strong heart beats. My doctor said they are very active so it explains why I can feel them moving around.</span></div>

After going to pretty much every baby store there is to go to (which there isn't a whole heck of lot to go to) we finally found a crib we both love!<br />
<br />
We chose the Fillmore crib from Pottery Barn Kids in washed gray. I think the gray is gender neutral and a little unique. <br />

They should be arriving any day now and I can't wait to see them both set up in the nursery! <br />

<strong>How far along:</strong> 14 weeks and 3 days<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Size of twinkies: </strong>Lemons! About 3" long.<br />
<br />
<strong>Total weigh gain:</strong> 7 pounds (in case you couldn't tell by the picture above!)<br />
<br />
<strong>Maternity clothes: </strong>Why yes I am! Although will this weather stop fluctuating so I don't have to keep wearing the same maternity dresses when it gets hot out? I'm ready for my new fall wardrobe!<br />
<br />
<strong>Sleep:</strong> Getting better but still waking up at least one time per night. Although I'm trying not to drink an hour before I go to bed but sometimes I can't help it because I just get so thirsty!<br />
<br />
<strong>Gender:</strong> One bouncing boy and the other baby we won't know until October 7th when the big 18 week ultrasound is scheduled. Can.not.WAIT!<br />
<br />
<strong>Names:</strong> Will we need two boys names or one boy and one girl name??? We will know in four short weeks!<br />
<br />
<strong>Best moment this week: </strong>Going to my OB appointment this week and hearing the babies heart beats. Such a tear jerker. Gets me every time. Both were strong...148 and 155. I'm thinking the 155 could be a girl. Just saying......Also, we ordered the cribs (a post will be coming shortly with what we ordered) and scouting possible baby shower locations. <br />
<br />
<strong>Miss anything: </strong>Not gunna lie...I am missing soft cheeses. (see food cravings below)<br />
<br />
<strong>Movement: </strong>None yet. My OB did I say I could start to feel them any day (or could be up to 20 weeks!) I'm hoping it's more like today :)<br />
<br />
<strong>Food cravings: </strong>Well my mom came this past weekend and made her famous homemade mac and cheese so that was amazing! But overall, the usual suspects, cheese, anything salty, orange juice, lemonade, pizza, french fries, nachos. Nope not a green thing in sight! haha<br />
<br />
<strong>Anything making you sick or queasy: </strong>P-O-R-K! Ew.<br />
<br />
<strong>Mood: </strong>Happy and excited!<br />
<br />
<strong>Looking forward to</strong>: Seeing the cribs all set up and the 18 week ultrasound!!!Erin http://www.blogger.com/profile/05503950655322004451noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6122677790937846998.post-28502746526671174142013-09-02T16:48:00.000-04:002013-09-02T16:48:08.770-04:00BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! #OperationbabyhornettesIn case you hadn't heard Jim and my screams the moment we got the news, we're here to let the world know...we're EXPECTING!!!! Two, that's right folks, TWO hornettes will be making their debut March 7, 2014 and we.cannot.WAIT!<br />
<br />
What does that mean? For one, the blog will be the main source for all the updates regarding anything and everything #operationbabyhornettes. That means weekly bump pictures, the nursery chronicles and any other projects we may have up our sleeves. So let's get the party started! <br />

<strong>How far along:</strong> 13 weeks and 3 days</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Size of twinkies:</strong> Conflicting. One place says oranges the other says lemons</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Total weigh gain:</strong> Not sure yet. We don't own a scale, so I won't know until I go to my next OB appointment which is next Tuesday. Can't wait!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Maternity clothes:</strong> Oh heck yeah! Although I can fit into non-maternity shirts and my workout stuff (for now at least!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Sleep:</strong> I fall asleep easily and LOVE my snoogle (in fact Sammy and Jim seem to have taken a liken to it as well) but I'll get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and can't back to sleep because my mind is racing with things that need to get done before the twinkies make their debut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Gender:</strong> One BOY! And the other baby's gender is unknown until the 18 week ultrasound. Should we start a pool to see who guesses the second baby's gender correctly?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Names:</strong> Not sharing yet :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Best moment this week:</strong> Going crib shopping! Still seems surreal we're actually getting to experience this at all, so getting to do all things baby and pregnancy related seems like such a blessing. And come on, how cute is nursery shopping?! Is there anything better??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Miss anything:</strong> Nothing! So content.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Movement:</strong> None yet and can't wait for the day I get to feel the babies move.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Food cravings:</strong> Oh gosh! Anything salty basically...goldfish, cheese, macaroni and cheese, pizza, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich...basically nothing that is good for me ha!. Although Jim does get up earlier in the mornings now to make me an egg and cheese sandwich. Can we get a collective Awww!!!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Anything making you sick or queasy:</strong> umm that's a big YUCK on anything pork related!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Looking forward to:</strong> This pregnancy and meeting the twinkies!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Good bye ghetto and unsafe patio furniture, HELLO glorious comfortable new outdoor table and chairs (oh and rug too!).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Many years ago Jim purchased a faux teak table and chairs for the roof deck in Southie. The set wasn't wintered correctly and as a result it quickly deteriorated. Shame on us! We brought the set with us when we moved and by then the damage was done and it was too late to salvage the set. The chairs were rotting (true story...I broke one of the chairs while sitting in it. That's gotta make you feel good about yourself right?? hahaha) and the table gave you splinters. I think it was safe to say that the table and chairs had passed its prime.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So this year Jim said let's get new patio furniture. At first I was like no let's wait till we're ready to tackle a new patio/back yard but then I remembered the hazard the old set posed and I was researching like a mad women. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Man, outdoor furniture is E-X-P-E-N-S-I-V-E (enter a small depression). I loved Pottery Barn's outdoor furniture but we would have to take a second mortgage out to afford those and we all know Jim's thoughts on anything Pottery Barn. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So I searched places like Overstock, Walmart, Target, EBay, etc. We knew we wanted a teak table with resin wicker chairs. Well I found a chair I loved on EBay but it was still expensive. I ended up finding the same exact chair that was on EBay for $100 cheaper PER chair on Amazon. Pays to search around my friends. And the table was also purchased on Amazon. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love the wood with the wicker. Gives it another dimension and texture. For added color and texture an 8x10 outdoor rug was layered under the table and chairs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The outdoor rug is great. It's soft underfoot and cozy. Makes the patio feel like another room in the house. When it gets dirty you just hose it off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Big plans for the back yard. Can't wait to share them when we figure out what and when those will take place. For now, I'm enjoying the new additions.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Just popping in quickly today with a post about the rugs we ordered for the kitchen. I think rugs in kitchens help with two things...one, they make things more cozy and two they can hide dirt (depending on the style you get). I just love the Pottery Barn rugs we have in the living room, dining room and lady land. They are really well made, plush and the prices aren't terrible. We ended up purchasing the Malika Persian Style rug in a 3x5 and a 2.5x9 runner. I have always loved this rug and it did not disappoint when I saw it in person for the first time.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We put the runner in front of the back door.</span></div>
<br />
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And the 3x5 in front of the sink.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1GFzil_8DhaR3dCL_jeAqlPb69MPIMcvPdLOI9_JfL9nxndt2BGVOTzr03orkYfbDKfp2h5JL8CGm1cTCIlQzyhIdjpm4kb5bhAzDpsAYSRPniu39zPwtmbaNohe-SBAjHggPv9-0m400/s1600/Picture+298.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1GFzil_8DhaR3dCL_jeAqlPb69MPIMcvPdLOI9_JfL9nxndt2BGVOTzr03orkYfbDKfp2h5JL8CGm1cTCIlQzyhIdjpm4kb5bhAzDpsAYSRPniu39zPwtmbaNohe-SBAjHggPv9-0m400/s1600/Picture+298.jpg" height="240" width="320" yya="true" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love the color and the warmness they bring to the kitchen. It's nice standing while doing the dishes at the sink on such a comfy rug. We got our rug pads from Ocean State Job Lot (cheapest place I've found for rug pads). Did you rug pads help extend the life of your rug as well as help keep the rug from slipping and sliding? And the best part?? I didn't even have to spend any money on either rug! I got these as part of the rewards program with my credit card. Love when things like that work out! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love me a good roman shade. When designing the kitchen, one thing Jim and I knew we wanted to incorporate was a roman shade to block the sun. I'm all about light and sun but when it involves wearing sunglasses in your kitchen just so you can carry on a conversation you know something must be done! I contemplated for about oooh 2.2 seconds making this on my own but I wised up fast! I went to my favorite source for all things handmade...Etsy! I found a shop called <a class="goog-spellcheck-word" href="https://www.blogger.com/null">href</a></span></div>
="http://www.esty.com/cindycravens">Cindy Cravens. <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I sent her my dimensions and had my fabric directly shipped to her and three weeks later I had the roman shade in hand. It was love at first sight!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Here's a close up of the pattern...so many colors to choose from! Pinks, blues, greens, yellows! Love working with fabric that gives me so many options.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I just love it and find myself gazing at it numerous times a day. We're getting there in terms of calling this kitchen complete (although I'm sure I'll constantly be tweaking and organizing this space!). We got a lot done this weekend in terms on painting. So stay tuned for most projects!</span></div>
