My mom and I went to Disney for my 30th birthday.  I plan to do my trip report soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you my DIY Disney shirt I made.  I really wanted a pregnancy Disney shirt.  I googled and found some that were going to be around $30-$35, but I knew I could make one for much cheaper.  So I decided to give it a try.  I designed the shirt myself using Pixelmator.  You can either design your own shirt, or you can buy the rights to an image online and just print it yourself.  The entire project cost me about $15.  See below!

My mom and I recently went to Disney World for my 30th birthday.  Since I am pregnant, it is technically my baby's first trip to Disney World. Sine my husband wasn't with us for her "first" trip, he asked that I take pictures of my "bump" as if it was a baby selfie. This would allow him to see her first trip from her perspective. Below are the pictures I captured!

Prior to meeting my husband, I really didn't know much about the development of Legos today.  I remember the boxes of Legos as a kid that you just built what you wanted, but I was not exposed to the Lego sets like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Back to the Future, etc.  Then I met Brad.  He already had tons of Star Wars Legos.  Then I started becoming more and more involved.  It started small.  I would find a set on clearance at Walmart and purchase it.  Or I would find a small set on vacation.  Then what truly got me, the Disney Princess Line!  So below are some of our sets that we have already put together.  We have many, many boxes still to assemble, but this is a view into our completed sets right now!

I really wanted to have a gender reveal party for our family and friends to announce the gender of our baby.  However, my mom and I were going to Disney in January, and I wanted to know before our trip.  This did not line up with my 20 week appointment.  Then with the holidays, it was impossible to have a party after finding out at 16 weeks.  Therefore, we came up with different ways to tell our families over the holidays.  Check out each way below!

Over the next few months, I am going to keep you updated on our nursery progress.  Below are a few pictures of the "before" and "right now".  For the next couple of nursery posts, I will be showing pictures of both the future nursery (previously was a craft room) and our guest bedroom.  A lot of things from our craft room is going into the guest bedroom.  Once it is finished, the focus will solely be the nursery!

My husband and I found out a week before he was going out of town that we were pregnant. Based on everything I knew at the time, I was approximately 5 weeks pregnant. He was going to Hawaii for work for 3ish weeks. Since this is our first pregnancy, we wanted to wait and tell family after my first doctor's appointment. I couldn't get into the doctor until I was around 8 weeks. So we decided to tell everyone when my husband got back.

I have some cute fall/leafy wired ribbon that I used surrounding my ceramic decorative plate and wrote "Happy Thanksgiving" on it.  I have a lot of Thanksgiving and fall paper supplies that I used as well.  I switched out our white plastic ware, and I replaced it with crimson and brown instead.

Luckily I was able to reuse a lot of our Halloween décor for Thanksgiving!  I used my burlap table runner with our initial on the ends.  For the centerpieces, I reused the orange flowers and vase from Halloween that was used in our kitchen.  I think it worked perfectly with the Thanksgiving colors I am using.  Next the to the flowers is a brown candle holder with an off-white candle.  And to the other side is a ceramic turkey.  Both of those items were purchase by Brad before we were married, but I think they work wonderfully with the rest of the décor.
