Johnny's Nursery

We are ready to share, what we think is a pretty cool nursery for our Johnny! It's missing some wall decorations, but all in all....... its now put together enough to welcome Johnny any day now.

You've already seen all the construction we had to do to make this possible, now onto making it real.

Matt did all the grass along the bottom free hand. Very impressive!

Brenda was the master behind making the tree a reality

We helped.... I never knew I had a bit of an artist in me

A trillion thanks to my hostesses for putting on the best baby shower ever : Karen Rogers, Tanya Hall, Nicole Beeman, Sarah Frenzel and Brenda Stamey. Johnny is one lucky little guy! I cant wait to introduce him to everyone...

Some of the special touches to the shower that made it so perfect - Enjoy!



Very creative. Clothesline of tie-dyed onsies, bibs, ballons and mittens.

A Start to Johnny's Nursery

I wanted to share what we've started..... A new nursery for Johnny.

Matt has been amazing and hard at work finishing up this new room. We decided to turn the office next to our room into the nursery. Johnny will have the nicest room in the house once it's done. Sharing the construction photos now and the finish product later.

Coat closet out and new wall will be put in.

We found wood floors under the carpet, but needed some repairs.

Moving the hall doorway up, so Matt can fit better

All by himself, Matt made the floors look like new again

Repaired and sanded.....

BEAUTIFUL!!!

The floors are done, wall will be up this week and then onto painting. With the help of Brenda's artistic skills, we will be creating the perfect owl themed nursery.
 
We're now 32 weeks and counting. Still feeling amazing and starting to get a bit scared and all excited at the same time. We're learning so much at baby class. Almost too much:) Still able to do spin class twice a week and long walks in between. I feel lucky to feel this good still and hope for labor to be nice to all of us as well.

Cant wait for my baby shower at the end of August. Thanks to all my lady friends who are putting it on. We are very lucky to have such great support from our friends and family. Johnny will definitely be loved by the coolest people... Next, I will post some pics from this upcoming event. 

Loving our Seattle summer. Life is good.....

Fontaine's in Maine

Hey There!

We landed in Maine for a week of family fun and were able to spend some great times with friends and family from June 24th through July 4th. Enjoy our adventures below:

To start it all off, we went to camp, so Matt could take a swim in Great Pond. Camp (AKA Cabin on a Lake) has been in the family for over 40 years and was built by Matt's Pepere (French for Grandpa), Dad and Uncles.

Stands for Marc, Louie, Charlie and Wilfred

Matt went deep sea fishing with Ryan and got a 6 foot blue shark and some cod. The big tuna weren't biting that day, but all in all they had a great time.



A lobster feed at camp with family and friends. Baby Fontaine's first taste of lobster. I believe he liked it! I know we sure did.

28 fresh lobsters



Always a big group for a lobster feed.



Leftovers to have lobster rolls for the next 3 days.

Sue bringing in the jumbo whoopie pie for dessert

A nice visit with Andrew, Molly, and River Wilkie! Matt and River bonded a bit. Matt is going to be an amazing Dad.


Matt and River

We were able to get in 9 holes of golf with Nicole and Ryan. I got a birdie. YES!

Par 3, but I got a 2... I still got my golf skills while pregnant.



Guess who got to go strawberry picking? We did... Stevenson Strawberries had fields of strawberries to pick. Probably the best strawberries we've ever had.

Early morning fishing trip for Jenny, Matt and Ryan. Didnt catch much, but still a good time.

July 2nd was our baby shower at Camp. It was perfect. Special thanks to Sue, Nicole, Lisa, Jenny, and Sarah for making our 1st baby shower amazing. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Best Onesies Ever!

Go Maine Blackbears!

Matt's favorite book when he was a baby.

And then it came to an end. Had lunch in Portland with Sue. Until Next Time.......

And announcing the name of Baby Fontaine......

Johnny Marc Robert Fontaine

Still feeling great, but definitely getting bigger. Really have enjoyed being pregnant so far!

Next up, home improvements, Johnny's room and much much more... 28 weeks and counting now!
