My lil lady's room tour!!!

So i have dreamt of the day to hear the words " IT'S A GIRL" i love my lil man sooooo much and am blessed beyond to have him in my world. But there's something about having a daughter too now i am double blessed to get to have one of each! I  had thought about what i would want if i ever had a girl and i was very particular on the decor of the room! I knew exactly what i did and didn't want! I've always loved lil ladybug themed stuff but lately everyone that sells ladybug themed room decor has all made the ladybugs to become pink or purple! LADY BUGS ARE NOT PURPLE PEOPLE :P SO i was on a mission to find stuff that was true bold RED AND BLACK! Welp there wasn't much out there lol. So i decided i refused to settle and started to build my own stuff piece by piece. Amazon was a lifesaver and actually had some cute ladybug decor and the rest i got my creative hat on and went to work!

I should have taken a before pic of the dresser/changing table combo but we got it cheap of Craiglist and it was just plain white with all sorts of different colored drawer knobs: So we transformed it into this:
Then I found these on Amazon :)



I had some of these flowered boxes hanging around so i sprayed them black and added the zebra and thus began the accenting in zebra print. Which i'm soooo glad i did i love the combo together! And these lil bugs are just rocks from the backyard that Carson and i painted lol :) 

I found all of the wall decals off Amazon as well the ladybugs and the vinyl writing that fits perfectly above her crib: 

We found an adorable black shelf at Ikea and some more fun outfits, booties, zebra blankie,ladybug twilight (early gifts from Grandma and Auntie) added some more cuteness to the room! The black crib looks so nice and clean with a plain bold red sheet and the little zebra blanket i found again off Amazon :) Along with her basic lamp that needed some style so i glued on some feather boa to it and it looks so much better now :)  

The curtains are basic and simple since i didn't want to overdue it on the zebra but they work great with the rest of the room and lil ladybug accents on the window trim :) 


I love pinterest!!!!!! I got this idea off of there :) Found the frame at goodwill, painted it, added ladybugs and sharpie to it and wrapped some clothing pins in zebra ribbon and bam! A cute way to display her ultrasound pictures which as she gets older i can trade out :) 
Next little project was a bow holder because i couldn't help myself i need to get her liking girly stuff right away. But i will just share the bottom part because the top shows the letter of her name and that i'm waiting to post online! 

So here are few more pictures of the room and i did a video too but it wouldn't upload so i will add that to my facebook. I love it sooooooo much. The only thing left to add is the changing pad which i have a solid black cover for and hopefully a black glider rocker that will go nice with her crib. I can't wait to see her in this room :) 




Hope you enjoyed the tour!!! I'm pretty stoked about it but then again i'm totally bias :)

A new addition at the Crouch Household

That's right you heard me a new addition and it's not another puppy! Carson's finally going to get to be a big brother. We found out beginning of November when i was around 4 weeks the test turned positive immediately and then i went right out the door to get a blood test to confirm and sure enough it was right!

So we thought about it and decided to make this fun and keep it our little secret as long as possible. It was super hard and several moments where i almost slipped. But we made it til Christmas Eve! Here's how the reveal went..... we were at my mom's and had just ate breakfast all together and let Carson and Ry open all there gifts up and then Jared and i snuck Carson away. We brought him in the other room explained to him that he was gonna be a big brother and mommy had a baby in her tummy. Then we put on a shirt that i made that says "I'm Going To BE A Big Brother" and we started to walk down the stairs telling everyone we had one more Christmas present that was for everyone :) They were all shocked! We got em good! There was hugs,tears of excitement, slaps of how dare you not tell us, and it was a great day. Here's some pics from the reveal:




He is beyond excited and asks me constantly about the baby and he says he's fine with a baby brother or a sister. We should get to find that out sometime in February!

This pregnancy has been the complete opposite of mine with Carson. I've unfortunately been hit with morning-all day-night sickness, headaches, mood swings, super sleepy, and all that fun stuff. I had none of that with Carson except the headaches in month 4 but ya this is a whole new experience but all worth it!

Babies due July 17th but if i go early again, we could very easily have ourselves a 4th of July baby!

Here is baby at around 8 weeks:


This year has a lot of fun new experiences for us and our lil family but i'm so ready for the journey/challenges/ and precious moments.


My tummy is doing that thing where i wake up just looking bloated and it goes bigger/smaller throughout the day then at night seems huge. Everyone told me you pop sooner with your 2nd and ummm ya i can confirm that's the case with me!
