The last month has been a busy busy whirlwind of activities! It all started with a very cute little Lincoln making his appearance! Then 4 days after little Linc was born, I started feeling funny. Actually it was localized to my tongue... I thought the painkillers were possibly to blame. I immediately discontinued use of them. Later that evening I was laughing, and Andrew gave me a funny look "what's wrong with your mouth?". I had no idea, I all the sudden had no control over the left side of my mouth... by the next morning I couldn't control my entire left side of my face. So the following week was spent going to Dr.appointments. We were told it was something called "Bells Palsy". Basically it can be caused by a few things, in my case it was brought on by stress and physical trauma (labor). I could have this condition from anywhere from a few weeks, to a couple years. Fun.
In the weeks to follow, my Mom was able to come into town, followed by my entire side of the family. We were able to attend my older brother Danes wedding, and the reception that was held in Colorado. Just a few days after getting back into town, Andrews family arrived in town. We are getting ready to send off his youngest brother Scott on his mission.
I feel like I have not sat down in a few weeks, but it sure has been fun seeing everyone, and getting to know are newest member of the family.

This pregnancy has seemed totally different than my pregnancy with Wyatt. There is a different kind of anticipation. With my Wyatt my main thought was "were going to have a baby." There was no thought to anything past that. There wasn't any thought as to how his personality would be, or the different cute things he would say. I only thought of holding a cute baby, and dressing him up in many, many, different outfits.
This time things are very different. I think about how excited I am to see how little Lincoln will look, how his temperament will be, and how he will respond to life. I am excited to get to know and watch another little person grow and develop. Granted I miss the baby stage were they just cuddle, but more than anything I am looking forward to have another little person in my life that I will love unconditionally.
The one thing that has not changed is that I am SO READY to have this baby!
Had a Dr's appointment today. He said things are moving along nicely and he expects me to go into labor naturally (before my inducement date on Aug 16th). We are getting anxious!

Row Boat
I found this awesomely tacky little piece when I was was searching for the bins I mentioned in a previous post. I snagged it for $2.99! It just needed a little TLC.
After a couple of coats of primer it was ready for a paint job! I just used painter tape and taped off lines!

After:
Thrift store Shelf : $2.99
Paint (Leftovers) : $0.00
Total $2.99
About 30 min of actual work, drying times not included.

Bins
I have started work on a bookcase makeover. The only problem is I had no idea what I was going to put in the bookcase. I don't like clutter (AT ALL). So i decided I needed some sort of basket or bin. It is amazing how expensive they can sometimes get, so off to the thrift store I went. I happened upon these awesome bins! They are solid wood, which normally means it has great potential! All you need for this is to lightly sand it, a few coats of primer, and a topcoat. After it dried, I taped off a stripe, that I painted it with basic acrylic paint. After that it still looked plain, so I put my Silhouette to work!
Damage
Small Bin: $2.00
Large BIn: $3.00
Paint : $0.00
Total= $5.00!

Ceiling Compass
As much as I would have loved to hand paint a compass on the ceiling, I think the owners would have frowned upon that. So I chose a renter friendly option. I started out with some of this....
Foam board, can be found for $1.00 at a dollar store! I needed 2 for this project. I just laid out a basic pattern, and used an exacto knife to cut it out. After this it was just a matter of taping, and spray painting!
I just tacked it to the ceiling with small picture hanging nails.
Foam Board $2.00
Spray Paint ( Leftover) $0.00
Total -$2.00
Took about an hour.
