Maternity clothes?. Yes.

Stretch marks? Nope- fingers crossed they stay away.

Sleep: Pretty good most of the time.

Best moment this week: My doctor laughing at my appointment today when she went to feel the baby and there was a hand or foot right where she first pushed down and it took her by surprise. He's pretty easy to poke and prod from the outside :)

House Numbers Craft

Since Adam bought our house we have had no house numbers. We have some itty bitty ones on our mailbox but they're hard to see and since our mailbox was smashed a couple months ago they've started to peel off some.

It's a pain to have to explain to people who've never been here before how to find our house so, I wanted to make something that would be easy to see and could help people find our house easier.

I went to Michael's and got a long "plaque" type board and the numbers for our house.


I painted the plaque board black, then I painted the numbers white.



After they were both dry I hot glued the numbers onto the plaque.


The plaque board came with hooks already attached to the back so I'm hoping it'll be easy to hang up right by the front door.
