Let's play tag! :)

Let's play TAG!
I've never been tagged before, but thanks to Miss Shirley, here goes:
1. Current obsession: My in utero precious baby girl, Anne Bradley!
2.Namesake: My dad named me Courtney. I don't like it, but am glad Dad got to name me. (too cheerleaderish for me) no offense cheerleaders, but it's too 80's for me!) Anne came from my Aunt Lucianne and my Mom's best friend, Ann.
3. Favorite Dinner: summertime, not pregnant: A gorgonzola turkey burger on the grill, fresh grilled white corn on the cob, and my spinach and goat cheese salad, with a glass of pinot grigio. pregnant: anything I don't have to cook! Steinhilber's butterflied-fan tail shrimp.
4. Favorite brand of jeans: I am loving my Paige maternity jeans. (my one splurge!)
5.Favorite tea flavor: I don't like tea. Unless I'm not pregnant and it's in Firefly!
6. Favorite owned jewelry: My engagement ring and wedding band. My diamond earrings handed down from Mom and Dad on my wedding day, my pearl and diamond bracelet from Dad for my wedding day. My Roberto Coin diamond cross necklace. It's so dainty and petite! I LOVE IT!
7.Favorite TV show: American Idol, Dancing with the Stars. I am not into getting hooked on shows that I may have to miss!! BUT I LOVE 24! :)
8. Listening to: a silent classroom. My children have been rude and disrespectful to each other so we aren't talking this afternoon since we can't be kind to one another.
9. Bathroom cabinet holds: toothpaste, contact solution, jewelry cleaner, lotions
10. Childhood dream: To be an obstetrician.
11.If I could go anywhere in the next hour, I would ... go sit on the beach somewhere.
12.Person I want to meet: My granddad who died when Mom was 17
13.Five-Year-Plan: We'll be working on child #2 by that point... New house, definitely! I love ours that we own, but in Carytown in RIC, it's a tad sketchy and I want good schools for my babies! Move back to the beach?? :)
14. Today is special because: I feel my baby kicking me :)
15. Where I blog: At school during silent time :) or at home on the couch!
16. My perfect day: Sleeping in. (what's that?) Driving down to the beach to lay out all day with Brad, walk on the beach with B, watch the sunset, head out to a good meal at Chick's, have an ice cold one, and sit out on someone's deck with good friends and talk, laugh, and listen to good music. :)

Baby Girl! :)

And the fun begins... Our little Baby Girl! :) 3-D profile... Looking right with her little hand in front of her face... beautiful princess! :)

Forgot the Bassinet...

I have no idea how I forgot to add the bassinet that Baby Watkinson gets spoiled in... we got the white one with ALL WHITE pique' bedding... SO PRECIOUS... It's already set up in our bedroom!

snuggly items

My little angel will have this precious bunny buddy blankie with love from Grammie and Gearnie to cuddle with forever... :) Bunnies by the Bay makes these... I am VERY much into white for both boy or girl at this point for some reason...

And of course because I didn't know Grammie and Gearnie were spoiling my angel baby... I already bought this precious Baby Gund huggy buddy. I AM CURRENTLY WANTING EVERYTHING I SEE WITH WHITE LAMBS... I think they are the sweetest things ever...

I also got the Baby this Little Giraffe blanket in white (of course) and the travel size blankie in white as well... fortunately my mother spoiled us girls a while back with the Barefoot Dreams (same company) bathrobes... so I won't be tugging my baby's blanket away from him/her. :)

I am also (thanks Mom) very into organic clothing for the baby... These baby gowns from Under the Nile are precious... they look very "baby" to me... and I love all three classic colors!!

I also ADORE classic baby clothing... seersucker, bubble suits, gorgeous Christening gowns, rompers... BABIES ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE BABIES!! NOT MINI-MILEY CYRUS'S!! UGH! :)

Anyway this little bubble suit couldn't be cuter for my late summer baby... :)

monogrammed items...

Debating on wall art... http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_2&listing_id=23290133&ga_search_query=wall+monograms&ga_search_type=tag_title&ga_page=6&min=&max=&order=

I am loving this one I found on Etsy... has the best color options as well... shows the green I would like (key lime) if I get a boy and choose green with the navy and it also showcases the pale blue I like if it's a boy... Ice blue. Of course the pale pink showcases well, too!! :)

I also think these wall letters are precious... But since Baby W is in the "trunk" room that the fan houses have, they may take up too much space! Especially since our girl name options are both double names: Anne Bradley and Lucy Carter.

We are still debating boy names... Brad told me he would think about it when we find out what the baby is... I feel as though I may be harassing him a bit about this issue... :)

We will definitely be placing a cross in this baby's room... We want Baby to feel Jesus's comfort at all times... :) We've been praying for this baby daily... (and Mommy and Daddy, too!) Of course I'll have to see if they can incorporate NAVY for those small green dots.

I love the handmade rag rugs... this is a precious pale blue one if I have a little man... :) There isn't much space in the baby's room so a tiny round or oval shape will suffice! :)

Some purchases already...

We ended up opting for the Baby Jogger stroller so we only had to purchase one... It is the perfect blend of the Chicco Cortina Discovery that we wanted and the Bob Revolution... has the perks of the Chicco: a super padded child seat, the seat lays completely flat for naptime, the huge awning, and best of all, it fold by pulling ONE handle. I wanted the Bob for jogging and this stroller had the qualities of the Bob PLUS those mentioned above... I LOVE IT! :)

This Graco Snugride in Platinum was the perfect match... I AM SO THRILLED and am strangely ready to put the seat into the back of my car, though I think that's a tad pre-emptive on my part...

This is the Pottery Barn kids bedding we ended up choosing... YES EVEN BEFORE KNOWING THE SEX... We have a gorgeous white crib that I'll post pics of soon, thank to my niece Anna for moving into a big girl bed... So the room decor is going to be white, navy, and pale pink if it's a little princess... and for a little man, white, navy, and sage green or a blue similar to our bedroom paint color (Benjamin Moore, palladian blue). We have the crib set up and all that needs to be accomplished (besides finding out the sex of the baby so I can add the color accents) is for Daddy to paint the baby's dresser... I've also been looking at Anthropologie for the new dresser drawer handles... :)

Here is the crib that Baby W will be sleeping in... it's so gorgeous! :) I would love to find a neat chandelier for the baby's room, but may stick with the lighting that is already in there...

It's been a while...

Starting to show quite a tad... this was March 28th @ Brad's sister's birthday party... at 18 weeks! I head in Tuesday for my ultrasound for the 20 week appt and we get to find out what Baby W is!! :) We are so excited... My mom and sis-in-law can't resist themselves and are coming up! I will post the good news on Tuesday or Wednesday, time permitting! :) I am starting to feel much better! This baby has finally allowed me to fully enjoy feeling pregnant! About a week ago, I felt the baby move for the first time... felt like butterfly wings tickling the inside of my tummy! This week it's been more like the "popcorn" sensation... it sure makes me happy to feel this precious angel!
