Graduating, Painting, and the Belly.
On Wednesday, these two sweet little goobers had their last day of preschool. Boy, did this year go by fast. So fast in fact that now I have a super big boy Kindergartner on my hands. A for reals Preschool Graduate...say it ain't so. Next year Noah gets to take the bus AND go to school 5 days a week...strange, exciting, and sad all at the same time. We took the … [Read more...]
Choose Joy
I'm sure many of you have heard of the lovely Ashley of Little Blue Boo and her battle with cancer, if not you can read all about her courageous fight here in her Cancer Chronicles series. I love Ashley, she is an amazing and strong woman and I pray for her every day. Her story has struck me to the core as she is my age and is also a momma to a little girl my Noah's age … [Read more...]

{The Elastic Band} Empire Waist Dress
So, I've been dying to make myself something fun to wear lately but being pregnant makes it hard to justify especially with only 5 weeks to go. But, this weekend I finally bit the bullet and made myself this little puppy: Oh-So-Darling! I figured it was the perfect thing to make because it could easily be worn after the baby comes and look just as cute cause of the … [Read more...]
33 Weeks Along…
Yuppers, that's right, I am 33 weeks preggo today. 7 weeks to go...really? It seems so far away yet so very close. Far away since 7 weeks really equals about 2 months, seriously...ok, now that seems faaaaar away. And so very close because I think we need a bit more time than that to get some projects done around our house. Yeah, it's pretty crazy around here, we've … [Read more...]
What the Whaaat??
Okay, two things...have you ever had Swedish Fish before? So, I have never had them until last week. Whaaat!? Yeah, that's right. Never.Had.Them. Until last week that is. Now, let's just say I'm addicted. I bought my second bag of them already...the big bag, the giant bag, the super-sized bag. Ughhh, I can't believe it. It's almost gone already. Ughhh. But now I … [Read more...]
27 weeks along…
Ok, here's me and the belly. 27 weeks and kicking right along. I'm getting the heart burn and indigestion now and loving every minute of it...or not. My hubs and I went through all the old week-by-week photos we took when I was preggers with Noah and Penelope last night. You know, trying to compare the bellies and face fat and figuring out if it's sitting high or … [Read more...]
Stretch Knit Pregnancy Band Tutorial
I recently bought a pair of jeans that I love...this is monumental because this doesn't happen very often for me. Me and jeans, well, let's just say we don't get along so well. It is so hard for me to find a pair I that I love. They are either, too short or too long, make my butt look weird, flare too much in the legs or not enough, blah, blah, blah...I am never … [Read more...]
And Poof…a Belly!
Finally! It's here!!! My belly has finally popped out to the world. I have been waiting it seems like forever for this to happen and now that it has I am thinking, 'what was I thinking?!?' Because with a belly comes: not being able to bend over, much less attention spent to the hair on my legs, uncomfortable sleeping positions, trouble getting in and out of cars, … [Read more...]

Today, my husband and I and these two little rugrats: Picture from this past Christmas, aren't their matching jammies cute? went to my 12-week midwife appointment early this morning to hear Bean III's heartbeat for the first time.

The Jig is Up
That's right, I'm spilling the beans. I just couldn't keep it in any longer. I'm not good with secrets, can you tell? So, how many of you figured it out from the picture? If you look closely at Penelope's shirt you'll see that it says "BIG Sister" not "LITTLE sister". Yup, that's right....I'm Pregnant! That is why I have been so very bad at posting lately...I … [Read more...]
