Nation's Nest: December 2014
http://nationsnest.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. Tis the season to be merry . or is it tis the season to be BUSY? This weekend was full of a lot of hustle and bustle but I tried my best to stay merry and not too busy. Friday night Chris shocked me by asking for chick fil a for dinner. To say I was excited would be an understatement! We probably haven't enjoyed chick fil a together for over a year and a half! I made a quick Starbucks stop, had my Christmas music playing, and to top it all off it started snowing! Because a grou...

Nation's Nest: 7 Months
http://nationsnest.blogspot.com/2015/08/7-months.html
Friday, August 14, 2015. Amelia Ryan, you are 7 months old! And boy did this last month fly by way too fast! Since turning 6 months, it seems that you have changed so much! You are now sitting up on your own all the time - though we still stay close by because sometimes you look like you could fall over, "Timber! You are eating so well now. You have tried all sorts of combinations of baby food and don't seem to be all that picky! Maybe you will be your daddy's little vegan buddy after all! Blessed to be ...

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Better late than never, right? Amelia Ryan, you are 5 months old! It seems that you've grown by leaps and bounds in the past month. You are now so alert and aware of everything around you and I can see your little brain working so hard to figure it all out! Your favorite person to watch is still your BFF, Lucy. But now you have started to do more than watch.when Lucy is close, you now like to reach out and touch her! You have started eating baby food this month! This month we cele...

Nation's Nest: Anniversary Weekend & Weird Art
http://nationsnest.blogspot.com/2015/08/anniversary-weekend-weird-art.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Anniversary Weekend and Weird Art. This past week marked mine and Chris's 4 year anniversary. I really don't feel like it has been 4 years - I keep thinking that must be wrong! But apparently it's true, we have been married for 4 years - wow! It feels like just yesterday I was planning the wedding. Long story short, we paid over $100 for a meal and the only thing I liked was the free treat they gave us with our bill. Cotton candy! Yeah Super dooper weird. Okay, now this is just w...

Nation's Nest: Blank Canvas
http://nationsnest.blogspot.com/2015/07/blank-canvas.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. I need help decorating my new office. When I first moved into it, the walls were covered with art left by my predecessor. And you know what they say about art - - it is in the eye of the beholder, and all that. Well, let's just say, it wasn't my taste! So I have cleared the walls and now sit it a blank white box. I need some color! Where are some good places to look for reasonably-priced pieces of art? Everything I've seen looks like it was made for a beach house! Blessed to be ...

Nation's Nest: January 2015
http://nationsnest.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Introducing Amelia Ryan Nation. Amelia Ryan Nation arrived at 4:53pm on Tuesday, January 13th. She weighed 6 lbs 8 oz and was 19.25 inches long. Amelia is such a good baby! Chris and I are so in love with everything about her. She fills our hearts with so much joy! We spend all of our time staring at her in wonderment. Even Lucy can't get enough of her! I'll have to follow up with Amelia's birth story when I have more time to write. This mama had a pretty rough time! When I wen...

Nation's Nest: Here We Go
http://nationsnest.blogspot.com/2015/05/here-we-go.html
Friday, May 22, 2015. Thanks for everyone's 2 cents on my hair dilemma! I love how y'all think I'm actually brave enough to go as short as that first picture. We'll see what ends up happening. I am going to wait a week or two to see if the feelings to cut my hair have passed or if I'm still feeling the urge! I have a tendency to flip flop on matters of the hair. (as you have probably noticed! I can't wait to get my hands on that little bundle of joy! Hope she sleeps the whole way! Speaking of singing to ...

Nation's Nest: May 2015
http://nationsnest.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2015. On a Bloggy Binge. I know I am not the only one out there who has the occasional binge - though mine usually comes in the form of a Friday Night Lights or Grey's Anatomy marathon on Netflix. There is just something comforting about vegging out and getting sucked into a different world for a few hours, whether it is in the OR's of Seattle Grace or on the football fields of Dillon, Texas. Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can't lose. Am I spelling it wrong? 1 Chris turned 31 two days ago. ...

Nation's Nest: August 2014
http://nationsnest.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 28, 2014. With only 2 weeks to go before we can find out the gender, I am waiting on pins and needles! So in the meantime, I have been looking up all of those old wives tales gender predictors and here are the results. Take them or leave them - I guess we'll see how accurate they are before too long! Chinese Gender Predictor = GIRL. Carrying Low = BOY. Baby's Heartbeat 140 BPM = GIRL. Morning Sickness = GIRL. Warmer Feet = GIRL. Looks like most of the signs are pointing to GIRL. She is r...

Nation's Nest: October 2014
http://nationsnest.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Happy Friday and Happy Halloween from me and Amelia Ryan! I purposely cut off my head in this picture because no matter how many times I tried to smile pretty, my face looks all swollen and my eyes and nose are puffed up and I basically look like a monster. Pretty scary stuff actually so maybe it is Halloween-appropriate! Oh and I almost forgot - me and Chris watched Hocus Pocus last night, so that makes it officially Halloween, right? Hope you have a great Halloween! A few week...
