Kriseal Kreations

Well Kriseal Kreations is finally starting up. First, let me explain the name Kriseal is a combination of Chris and Racheal. I replaced CH with K and the end of my name EAL= KRISEAL.

I first started with Colton's Baby Wreath and Kriseal Kreations was then created. Chris has been so supportive and excited for this new adventure.

Each wreath is created with two different styles of fabric. The wreaths that I have recently created have been made with fleece fabric. The prices for the wreaths are $35 for a wreath with two types of fabric and no add-ons. The price for a wreath with add-ons its $40. Colton's wreath is a example of a wreath with add-ons.

Here are the two newest wreaths. A Baby Girl Wreath and a BAMA wreath. The Baby Girl Wreath has add-onsl without the name. The Bama wreath has no add-ons.



Bama wreath is made of these two types of fabric.

 I can do any colors or any theme. You can messages me on facebook and give your theme, colors, and if you would like any add-ons. I also have another Baby Girl Wreath coming soon. 

Not To Much Longer

Tomorrow we will have 4 more weeks until Mr. Colton arrives unless he comes early. We are getting more and more excited. This past weekend Chris and I went to St. Vincent's to have our labor and delivery class. It was a pretty long day. We were there from 8:30 to 4:00. Lets just say we had tons of bathroom breaks. The funniest thing that happened was that another lady in the class has the same due date as I do and has the same doctor as I do. The only thing different is that she is having a girl. We both enjoyed learning everything because we feel better prepared. Afterwards we went to BabiesRus and got Colton's pack-n-play and put it up in our bedroom. I can't wait to wake up and see my little man in there. For my project this week I'm planning on making the wreath that will hang on the door when Colton arrives. I'm so excited I'm going to make a feather wreath with the safari theme. Hopefully it will turn out good. :)

I had my maternity pictures take and they turned out great! Beth Goggins did a wonderful job!!! I already have some of them hanging in the house. I also had my baby shower and Mr. Colton was very blessed that day. My Mom and Dad has redone my sister's old room and now it's Colton's nursery. They painted the walls, put new flooring down, and went and got him a baby bed. Lets just say they are very very excited as well. My Mom said my Dad will get home from work and just go and look in the room. She asked him what he was looking at and told him Colton wasn't in there yet. I love how excited they both are!

So far I've only gained 21 lbs, but since I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow that number might change. I haven't got any stretch marks on my belly mostly because I soak myself in the Palmer's lotion. the only thing that bothers me is my belly button piercing. If I could go back and change anything I would have never got my belly button pierced because my skin is so thin it has actually made two little stretch marks might where my piercing is. Overall, I would say I've had a great pregnancy. In the beginning it was a little rough with the morning sickness and then I had really bad heartburn, but once I got control over both of those problems I have been blessed with a great pregnancy. I give all the glory to the Lord.

4D Ultrasound of Baby Colton

This morning we had our 4D Ultrasound done and got to see our sweet little boy again. We were so excited to see how much he had changed and what features he had of ours. He was laying on his stomach facing down. The lady had to shake my belly to get him to turn over. The lady said he was weighing in around 3.5lbs, so far. She also said he had a good bit of hair already too. Here are some more pictures that we got.

Getting Ready For Mr. Colton

This past Wednesday I went with my Mom, Nana, and Aunt Darlene to look at some baby stuff. We went to BabiesRus and I saw a three piece bed set on sale. I was so excited because we have been looking and looking for some furniture for Colton's room, but I didn't want to spend to much money. They had one piece at the store and the other two I had to order. Friday morning after I had just got out of the shower a truck pulls up at my house, now I wasn't thinking it would be the UPS man because they said the furniture wouldn't come in until next week. I threw on some clothes and went outside to see the UPS man putting two big boxes on the porch. I couldn't believe that the furniture had already came in. I was SOOOOO excited!!!! So once Chris got home Friday we started putting the combo unit together. I knew it was going to be a little hard because it had a lot of pieces. It took all night to put that thing together. Once we got up Saturday we started putting the 5 drawer dresser together and the crib. Around 1:00 we finally had everything put together, so we went to Wal-Mart to get a mattress.

It's Christmas Time

Christmas is finally here. I love Christmas and have been getting ready since Thanksgiving it feels like. My radio station in my car has been on the Christmas station since Thanksgiving. I love listening to the music and singing to Colton. :) I know it might seem funny, but I think Colton loves Christmas too because when I put the Christmas music on and start singing he starts moving all around. Our Christmas tree has actually been up since before Thanksgiving. When our niece Lilly comes over she loves when we turn the Christmas lights on. She gets all excited and says "Pretty Tree." It has been so hard not to buy tons of stuff for Colton for Christmas when I'm out shopping. I have bought a couple of things though.

My belly is getting bigger, which means Mr. Colton is growing like crazy. Its so amazing watching my belly move more and more. I haven't been sleeping very good, but at least I can stay at home and relax. I can't wait for Colton to be here, so that next Christmas we can watch Christmas movies together. I was watching one of the old Christmas movies the other night, the one where the characters are clay-like and Chris started making fun of me. I told him it reminded me of growing up and always watching the old Christmas movies together with my family. I can't wait to make special memories like this of our own. Putting out cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeers. I can't wait!

Here is a video of my belly moving. Look close at the very beginning, to the left side near my belly button.

Lots of Moving

Sunday morning was the first time Chris and I got to see my belly jump. Little Colton Allen was moving all over and Chris didn't have to worry about putting his hand on my belly because he was able to see Colton make my belly jump. It was one of the most amazing moments. I just started laughing, so hard. The kicks are getting stronger each day. I'll be sitting in class and Colton will start moving all around in my belly. I have to try my hardest to not laugh out loud. Sometimes I can put my hand on my belly and feel him move from the bottom of my belly to the top of my belly. He likes to stay in the right side of my belly. It almost feels like he is trying to get to my back.

I'm 23 weeks and for the most part I feel great, but sometimes I do feel miserable when it comes to my belly feeling so tight or sorry I know this might be a little bit to much info, but when my breast feel like they are about to bust out of my bra. I just bought two new Victoria Secret bras and I should have got one bigger than the other. I just can't believe I'm having to think about buying a D size bra. WOW! I feel miserable just thinking about it. What am I going to do when my milk comes in?

Friday, December 3rd Chris and I got to meet our second niece, Jayden Cooper Caudle. We actually got there a few minutes before Kayla had to start pushing, so we waited in the waiting room. We were only there for no more than 30 minutes and it was time to go see little Jayden. She has lots beautiful black hair and her eyes were wide open. She has her Daddy's feet. After we left that night Chris said he couldn't wait to see little Colton now. We just can't wait to see what he will look like. It's so exciting thinking about our little boy. I almost cry everytime I think about it.

A Couple Days In Paradise

Daddy's Hands

For Thanksgiving this year Chris and I were able to get away and go to the beach. We finally got to the room Wednesday night and went right to bed once we got in the room. Thursday morning we got up and had breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, which was amazing. I had blueberry pancakes that were huge!! The weather was absolutely amazing. I didn't take any shorts with me, so after we got done eating we went to Wal-Mart and got me some shorts. We came back to the hotel and went and walked the beach and laid out for a little while.

Later that day we had Thanksgiving dinner at the hotel and then went and watched the movie Burlesque. Right before the movie started Colton started dancing in my belly. Chris was able to feel him again and he said the kicks were getting stronger. The movie was one of the best movies I have watched lately. I wanted to get up and start dancing with the movie. :) What made it even better is that Chris loved the movie too. The movie made me miss dancing sooo bad. I 'm still able to teach dance, but I sure can't do what I could last year. Who knows I might pull a Cher and bring it back come recital time. :)



Momma and Colton

Friday we woke up and had a great breakfast again. We went and did a little bit of shopping before the Bama game. The weather was great again. It was in the upper 70s. We ended up watching the game in the room and got a pizza. Saturday and Sunday the weather got cold and windy. The first half of Saturday we did nothing, but lay around in the room and watch t.v. Later that day we were able to take some pictures on the beach. 

 It was great to spend some quality time with my Hubby. The number one thing I enjoyed to most is just laughing about crazy stuff the whole time we were there. I think we spent most of the time just laughing at each other.
