My name is Lexi, and I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Jef (yes he spells his name with one f...he's super cool). We started dating when we were 15 years old and somehow were able to conquer the challenges of high school drama and a long distance college relationship. During our last year of college, he finally proposed and made me the happiest girl alive. Next we graduated, I with a Communications degree, and Jef with a Business Marketing degree. And then had the most beautifully perfect shabby chic barn wedding in September of 2012 with 230 of our favorite people!

The night of our Rehearsal Dinner! |
Then...
On Christmas Eve morning, when I had been especially difficult to put up with, I missed my period. I took a test and two minutes later, BAM, I found out I was pregnant! After the initial shock wore off, we were SO excited to begin this journey. I know I was always meant to be a mom and this day my dreams were finally coming true.
I am totally inspired by the blog "Little Baby Garvin" and love Jessica's obsession with chalkboards because taking ordinary things, like a chalkboard, and making it beautiful with fun fonts and bright colors, is one of my favorite things to do. What better decoration to a party than a one-of-a-kind chalkboard?!? (In fact, it is a goal of mine by the end of the year to open my own Etsy Shop selling customized chalkboards). So I thought this blog would be a super fun way to document the combination of my pregnancy, what I experience on a daily/weekly basis, and my love of chalkboards! The name "Team Niedfeldt" (pronounced Need Felt) kind of caught on every time my husband and I felt like we did something awesome. Folded and hung up all of this week's clean laundry? High five. Team Niedfeldt. Put up our first Christmas Tree without it falling to the floor? High five. Team Niedfeldt. You get the point.
