Finally finally finally. 40 weeks is here! I feel like I have been (insert number of weeks) and counting for ages and now the time is finally here! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I am officially on "bed rest" or as I like to think of it sentenced to the couch. I go back in Friday for a blood pressure check and I am hoping I will just be headed in to the hospital instead! We shall see! :)</div>

Well as you might have noticed I missed a week! Week 38 came and went and to be honest it was the most difficult yet. So I find it fitting that there is no 38 week picture to commemorate, but now I am coming back with week 39, which might be the very best week I've had yet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday was my birthday. 26 years old. My mom posted this picture of me from by original birth day June 4, 1987<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5PPwGB1SeZPume40wDIvnyDvzLlUtfCNd-dREG3IZUkW0elAs1sVqK1vuZyeJsoVmrlaThic6ZcLwhsO4yjuzrErk2Nf9gikVSMQzDorE0VrmbEqBveB4mHVGbq-hxkXN5TSkbCJeFM0/s1600/963938_10151613902471743_1527323078_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5PPwGB1SeZPume40wDIvnyDvzLlUtfCNd-dREG3IZUkW0elAs1sVqK1vuZyeJsoVmrlaThic6ZcLwhsO4yjuzrErk2Nf9gikVSMQzDorE0VrmbEqBveB4mHVGbq-hxkXN5TSkbCJeFM0/s400/963938_10151613902471743_1527323078_o.jpg" width="271" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being this pregnant on my birthday has certainly given me some perspective. In previous years I feel like my birthdays have been more about how you celebrate another amazing year to come--heavy on the celebration...and light on the reflection of the day of my birth. That day really gets lost in the mix! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that I am eagerly awaiting the birth day of my sweet little girl it gives me a new found appreciation for all that my mom went through and the anticipation that surrounds when a child will make their arrival into this world. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I certainly don't think I will have another birthday where I don't thank my mother for carrying me for 9 months! </div>

I am BEYOND excited for this blog post! We have been working towards on all the final touches for the nursery and now we are ready to go! </div>

Now for the part I am most excited to share...Emmeline's nursery! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This labor of love has been the most exciting decorating project I have ever worked on! There is something about her nursery that just relaxes you the moment you walk in. Not to be cheesy but I think the word I am looking for is enchanting...maybe its just me (of course I love it) but maybe you will agree! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From the get go I knew I wanted a vintage inspired nursery and I wanted it to be very feminine. After all like mother like daughter I hope Emmy Grace will love all things girly! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before I start taking all the credit for this nursery I have to say that Brett has really been the one who has taken the lead! I may have picked fabrics and ordered bedding online but Brett is the one who painted the nursery multiple times, installed chandeliers, built cribs, re-wired lighting, the nursery is perfect because Brett wanted it that way for Emmy Grace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok....so now that I have gotten all sentimental lets get down to the details! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the overall view when you walk in the room! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The paint color is Sherwin Williams, Knitting Needles....not the first color we tried but it ended up being the perfect fit!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went with <i><b><a href="http://www.rhbabyandchild.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=rhbc_prod395050&categoryId=rhbc_cat353128" target="_blank">Restoration Hardware Baby's Frayed Ruffle Collection</a></b></i> for the bedding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We wanted something in a light vintage pink and this was the perfect fit. The fabric is linen with a frayed ruffle edge.</div>

The crib might be my absolute favorite piece of furniture. Instead of going for a traditional wood crib we loved this gorgeous iron crib. We found this crib at the Plaid Rabbit in Green Hills, <b><i><a href="https://www.brattdecor.com/products/venetian_iron_crib_antique_white_by_Bratt_Decor.cfm?ship_from=2&cat_id=1&sub_id=2" target="_blank">Bratt Decor</a></i></b> has the most beautiful cribs! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After finding the perfect crib we decided that mixing and matching different antique pieces of furniture would be a better fit for the style of the nursery than going with all one set of furniture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We looked and looked for bookshelves and I actually found this piece at an antique store in Franklin, Kentucky. It is a vintage china hutch and we had it refinished in an antique white. </div>

The best spot in the whole nursery is sitting in the glider! My mom gave this beautiful <i><b><a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/grand-comfort-rocker-and-ottoman/?pkey=bslipcovered-upholstered-chairs&" target="_blank">Pottery Barn Glider</a></b></i> as her gift to Emmeline!

For you formed my inward parts, you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I
praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works,
my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being
made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my
unformed substance, in your book were written every one of them, the days that
were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.</div>

A keepsake box was another must for the nursery.

Emmeline or Emmy Grace as we have been calling her for short is kicking and squirming at full force these days! We are winding down our second trimester by taking a trip to NYC this weekend! Our last getaway before we stick close to home for the third trimester! I will definitely post pictures of NYC and hopefully our almost completed nursery soon! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Little girl is getting bigger and bigger! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And while she is growing and moving around so much more it has been impossible for us not to become attached to a name for her! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I fell in love with this name a while back and we have had it on the short list. It became the winner right after we found out we were having a little girl! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Back before we knew girl or boy I was walking through a small little children's shop in Goodlettsville called Lizards and Lace. At the time I was predicting a boy so I didn't spend much time in the little girls section. I did come across one little blankie and I have no idea how it didn't hit me that this was a sign that I was definitely having a little girl! In this little shop the ONLY monogrammed item in the store had our little girls name on it and it is not a common or ordinary name by any means! The day after our gender reveal party I decided I had to have this little blankie and it was meant to be! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we have chosen our sweet little girls name...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Emmeline Grace Mansfield</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a picture of the blankie I found:</div>

Wow already 22 weeks! Soon to be 23 on Saturday! I know everyone says time passes slowly the second half of the pregnancy but I'm not feeling it yet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the excitement of picking names, and this week nursery designing are making this half of the pregnancy by far the most exciting! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO here is my 22 week picture with baby girl! </div>

The most exciting development is our little girl wiggling a way and kicking up a storm! There is no better feeling than our little girl kicking away in side of me! We thought it would be forever before Brett go to feel her kick but literally every time he puts his hand on my belly she is kicking away at him!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that's all for now!! Brett and I are doing some serious work on baby girls nursery this weekend so lots of details to come! </div>

WOW. For the past week Brett and I have been in our own little world dreaming, thinking, praying for our little girl all the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Only a little over a week after finding out we are expecting a little girl it is hard for me to imagine that I ever thought that she was a boy! It is too funny how she feels all girl now! </div>

Now I am overcome with joy and excitement about what our little girl's future will hold! All I can think about are the sweet memories to come, playing with American girl dolls, shopping for her prom dress, wedding dress, and watching her walk down the aisle. So many special moments ahead with our little girl. Lets just hope that once she gets here time starts moving very slowly :)</div>

A baby bump...or not a baby bump... that is the question....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has seriously been the theme to this week! I am finally have the beginnings of a baby bump but only friends and family who know me know that there is a baby in there! Walking around in public when I notice someone looking at my belly I know they are either thinking she's pregnant, or she needs to suck in that tummy! I will let you be the judge! :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So Brett and I finally took pictures of our little baby bump last night! You may or may not be able to see it, to me it feels like my bump just popped up over night!!</div>

It has certainly been a while since I have utilized my blog! It has been a very eventful year and a half since the last time I posted! We recently announced we have a little one on the way, so I decided there is no time like the present to start posting again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little disclaimer first though....since I began telling friends and family that I was pregnant I of course..have gotten LOADS of tips, advice, commentary, etc. I have had many requests that I don't have an "alien baby" pregnancy calendar on my Facebook and that I don't use my ultrasound pic as my profile picture. I am in agreement with these but I still wanted a way to share with my family and friends who do want to keep up with the pregnancy and not be shocked if they didn't see me for two months and my belly doubled in size over night! Sooooo with that being said, here is your disclaimer...do not read on if you don't want to see ultrasound pictures, pictures of my baby bump, and of course comparisons between the size of my baby and fruit, etc. Because its all going to be here because Brett and I are just plain EXCITED! And I want to share this experience with the people that I love and don't get to see every day! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So lets start back at the beginning of our 3.5 month little journey here! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Back in the beginning of October we were about 30 minutes away from boarding a plane to Raleigh to spend a much awaited weekend with our best friends at the beach in North Carolina. Nothing other than gut instincts made me take a pregnancy test that morning, I really just felt like I should take one before that weekend. So I went for it while Brett was out running errands and much to my surprise it turned out positive! It really does hit you all at once, the weight of that moment. The future, how your life will change, how it from that moment wasn't just about me anymore. I didn't have time to think of an eloquent or original was to tell Brett, I just did it the old fashioned way and showed him the test.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was really a WOW moment for us, I think we both just said wow back and forth until it was time to grab our bags and get in the car. Being the over eager person that I am, I called the OBGYN on the way to the airport and booked my first 8 week appointment....less than 30 minutes after finding out! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we proceeded with our weekend, all the while trying to act like nothing new was going on with us while around the people who know us best! It was an amazing weekend with friends and slowly but surely as the weekend went on we really wrapped our heads around the fact that we were going to be parents and this was going to be the most exciting ride of our lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is Brett and I on Allen's boat on our way to dinner! </div>

Lindsey, Me, Amy, and Berk---having the time of our lives! Talk about hard to keep a secret from your best friends on a weekend like that!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Brett and I returned home and the first thing we did after getting home from the airport was go out and buy a bunch of baby books! I knew I needed to read up on the dos and donts! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That next week I had a blood test done to confirm the pregnancy and we finally let ourselves feel as excited as we truly were! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This picture below was taken after the doctors appointment! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we waited a week or so and then came to the conclusion we could not wait until 12 weeks to tell our parents, so we gave them the news early at about 6 1/2 weeks because we could not keep it to ourselves! They were thrilled and it was a relief to finally have people to talk to about the baby! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next came our 8 week appointment where we got to see our little bit in person (or as we referred to the baby as blueberry--that was the size the baby was before our appointment). The baby was healthy and had an amazingly strong heartbeat!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The time passed fasted after our 8 week appointment, now that we knew the baby was healthy and growing as it should be! In the weeks that followed we told our siblings and immediate family which was probably the most fun part! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally the long awaited 12 week appointment was here and we had a very healthy baby with a strong heartbeat! We finished up telling all of our best friends and then FINALLY made the announcement public last Monday with Baby Mansfield's stocking! </div>

Bittersweet. The only way to describe my feelings about my last day tomorrow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Six years ago I left my family and friends in Birmingham, Alabama to attend UT. I knew it would be a hard transition but I had always wanted to follow in my dad's footsteps and go to UT and I was determined to make it happen.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here I am standing outside of Presidential Court after my parents moved me in. Giving my mom the classic please hurry and take my picture this is embarrassing look.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My potluck roomate never showed up so I was flying solo the first several weeks at school.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cheesy. Yes I know...but nonetheless I think wise words coming from a younger, less mature version of myself.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The next four years did not dissapoint. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In put it well in my Miss Homecoming statement, <i>"four years later and I am speechless.

</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The best years of my life so far have been spent at UT. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I literally walk by the spot where I met my husband everyday!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And tomorrow, I have to leave. My first job just happened to be my dream job, so it is hard to have to leave after only one year.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But I am not sure it will make it any easier to leave tomorrow.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I work with such amazing students everyday and I get to be a part of their experience with them, and in a way it makes me feel like I have never left. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I know after tomorrow I have to leave and in a way let it all go. I will still have the memories but it will no longer be part of my day to day life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Its a little scary to be honest. If you think about it, I have barely had a change of scenery in the past six years. So leaving UT and Panhellenic tomorrow will be leaving the shelter and comfort of whats familiar and taking a leap into the unknown.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not knowing where Brett and I will be or what we will be doing a year from now is sort of alarming, but at the same time sort of liberating. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tomorrow may be the end of a chapter and the end of my time at my Alma Mater, but it is also the beginning of something new. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The picture of the fireplace was painted by our very own Cameron Foltz! She is amazing! The painting was her idea and it is actually a portrait of a hand holding a bouquet of flowers that represent every chapter we have in Panhellenic! If you come up to 201 we actually have a key that will tell you which flower is yours! She is amazing and it is my favorite part of the room! </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sorry for the delay in posting this recipe from last Thursday! Brett and I got a new puppy this weekend so it has been a busy week! I am blogging about her next! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This recipe was really the best low fat pasta dish I have ever made! It has some extra ingredients to give it more flavor in place of things in traditional fettuccine alfredo like heavy whipping cream! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So lets get started! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 1: Before you begin prepping your ingredients, bring water to boil in a large pan to cook your pasta in! Add a teaspoon of salt to the water! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
