39 1/2 weeks

...and still no baby!

However, I still have a lot of work to do and try to finish up so it's kind of a good thing.

I went to the doctor today. All my stats are still the same. Doc said not to worry because I guess I'm pretty far along (internally) for this only being my first pregnancy? But I've been this far along for 3 weeks now... lol. Doc said time to do some jumping jacks! ;)

If all goes as planned....ha.... Steve and I will try our hardest to have this baby come on Monday (baby's due date). So Sunday will be filled with spicy food, red raspberry tea, chocolate shakes, lots of walks with Tovi and everything else you can think of that promotes labor! Then Monday we will deliver and find out if this precious child of ours is a boy or girl. It's going to go as planned right? Right!
These last few weeks have been the LONGEST weeks ever just because of the anticipation, but in reality they have flown by because I can't believe in a few short days I'll be 40 weeks along. Whew!

Well this past weekend the ladies in our couples small group had a breakfast baby shower for me! They were all so incredibly sweet and generous to my little peanut. I feel so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful group of young married couples. The support and friendship we have come to know is amazing, and we love doing life with all of them! God is so good!

The diaper cake Val and Resa made for the table! So cute! :)

Such a great group of ladies!

Also weeks are going quickly because I am busy with work! Bumper Krop. is booming yet again :) and we are just trying to finish up some big websites we are working on before baby comes. We are hoping to double our goal from last year earnings and it looks like we are on the right track already!! Praise God yet again! :)

Week Update

- I got to take some adorable photos of my friend/business-partner-in-crime's family.

Perfect family of FOUR! :)

Elliot being tickled by dad aka Justin

Baby Charlie @ 1 week and 5 days old! 

Side note: there were way too many adorable photos of baby Charlie (and the whole family for that matter) to post. It was my first time photographing a little baby, and it was so much fun!

- I clocked in at 30 weeks prego.

- My Mother and bff/sis CJ hosted a baby shower for me!

Lotto tickets with diaper pins to scratch off, and thank you for coming gifts!

Steve's baby cradle that his Uncle Bob made in '85!

So many gifts! Baby B is already one loved baby! So blessed!

Also Carol made the baby's bedding and gave it to us at the shower!!! It's amazing, and I feel so honored that she wanted to help me with making it. I LOVE it!

Action Shot! :)

- Nursery is painted completely thanks to my mother in law and hubby! The trim, crown, doors, closet, everything! Next is steam cleaning the carpet on Friday, finding paint that will work for the side table, sanding the dresser down and staining, and then adding all the decor!!! Here is a sneak of the room...

Tovi loves the baby's room :)

- Bumper Krop. got 2 new gigs this week!  One gig we sent in a proposal about 3 weeks ago, and was just waiting to hear back... and the second gig came out of left field and we are so happy that we get to help this company out with a new website. We feel very blessed that God is providing so many opportunities for our company to grow and still be able to be at home with our babies (well right now just my fur baby, but soon enough).

- Last but not least... Christmas is just a little more than 2 weeks away. That is NUTS! I am very excited, and still have quite a bit of Christmas shopping to do! :) Oh have I mentioned that time is flying by us? I think that might be theme of 2011. Or does it go by even quicker when you have kids? Oh goodness!!

Bumper Krop. Update

We have been on the up and up and couldn't be happier! God is surely blessing our business and we owe it all to Him.

One of our first 'offical' Bumper Krop. clients is a dear friend of ours, Ms. Allie Coyle. She is so sweet and easy going, not to mention talented!! Basically the perfect client in our eyes! She is starting to pick up her photography business once she moves to Kansas City (tear - we are going to miss her so much!) and that is where Bumper Krop. comes in. BK is designing a new logo, blog stamp and is going to design and build out a new website. We are so excited to be working with Allie Colye Photography! Check out her new logo and blog stamp below:

Indeed!
The Lord has blessed our little company tremendously thus far, and I couldn't be more thankful. I am just over the moon! Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes, they mean more than you know. I really feel so lucky that God has placed an amazing friend/partner/co-owner to work with (Jen you are awesome)! Truly everything happens for a reason and God is in complete control.

We are currently working with three clients so we don't have time to work on our own brand/identity..... but we do have ourselves a logo.

Ladies and Gents' I introduce the simple yet sweet, Bumper Krop. logo.
(However we will be inverting the color to white, but for your viewing pleasure it is featured in brown.)

And  it will paired up with this lil fella...

And there my friends.... is the start of something beautiful!

Mail Call

Bumper Krop. can now check off the list - a P.O. Box.

There are quite a few more things that have been accomplished, but I'm waiting to share until the bucket is full.

Until then... keys will have to do.

Bumper Krop

So the story goes a little like this....

• Meredith got a job at a Real Estate Marketing Firm.
• She was introduced to some awesome co-workers and become great friends with said co-workers.
• She then left this job to pursue what she really loves doing.
• New friends also leave to pursue other career options.
• Jen now stays home with her adorable little boy.
• Meredith and Jen pull their brains together and alas.... Bumper Krop.

{logo coming soon}

Who?      Jen Miller and Meredith Bach
What?    Creative web design and branding.
Why?      We want to grow and harvest our own crop. (Bring on the babies!) Bumper Krop is going to let us grow our own families while doing the things we love. 
Huh?       Because we want to be able to stay at home to raise our kids and provide for our harvest.




So look forward to the sprout of this new endeavor that we are taking on!
