Smells of summer


So one thing that is very important about our home in the summer time is that it smells like summer! We got a little reimbursement check from our Mazda. I decided to go wild and get some yankee candles with a pinch of it! Now our kitchen smells like fresh squeezed lemons. And our bathroom smells like Island spa (Dan's favorite by the way) and coconut bay yankee candles. And our bedroom smells like sand and sea which smells just like really good suntan lotion! I miss working at Wicks N Sticks! I just LOVE candles. I would love to own a candle shop one day!!!

My favorite Yankee candle's are definitely the fruit flavors... especially the tropical ones. I LOVE Berry Bramble and their Pineapple Paradise, but I don't think they make it anymore! When you come here we will go to Gardner Village together and shop (they carry Yankee Candles up there).

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...

Decorating the boys room

Image
I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
