Update

Things are going good around our house. I threw my best friend a baby shower last weekend and that took a lot of preparation and planning as you all know.
It turned out really nice and we had a great time.
She is due April 21st and she is having a little girl named Bella. We can't meet sweet baby Bella.

Cooper has been good. I have completely missed a few of his monthly posts and I feel terrible. I'll definitely have to do a post all about him and what he's been up to lately very soon.

I'm feeling good, growing larger by the minute and getting more excited each day at the thought of our little addition to our family. I can't wait to meet my next love of my life.
However I would prefer if she would stay in until at least a few weeks around her due date :)

I think I even missed the Valentines post? So here are some pictures of V-day, and also some of my friends shower.

Our little Valentine!








Getting ready to go for a ride. He had his boots, his sippy and was comfortable and ready to go.

Haha, he got stuck under the gate. He scooted his skinny hiney underneath it and I told him not to but did he listen. NOPE. So I had to take a picture before I pulled him out like the hero that I am.Shannon's baby shower.
I found these puff balls on Martha Stewart's web page. I think they turned out really cute.



All the girls that threw the shower.

I feel bad.

Just a short post to say. That I'm feeling bad lately as a bloggy friend. I realized today just how bad I've gotten at letting my blog go for a few weeks and not reading others for a few weeks. Then I try to play catch up and comment and see how all my friends are and its back to busy every night and day and missing it all. Today my mom (who keeps up on some of the blogs I follow) asked me if I had read two recent posts by two of my longtime blogs that I follow. Of course I was missing from blog world this week so I said, "this week"??? She told me yes and then proceeded to tell me about some bad news on their blogs. At that moment I felt bad. Bad because I didn't see those posts at all and never even was able to leave a nice supportive comment for them. I know that my child and daily life has to come first but I wish I had more time to sit back and see what all my blog friends are doing each day. I do care. More than I probably should. I am a very faithful friend to my friends, so that automatically includes blog buddies. I do want you girls to know, that even if I don't send you a message when you post something important. I do pray each and every day and in my daily prayers I include you girls and your families. I pray that God will except my prayers for those friends of mine that I might have forgotten or was unable to pray for specifically. So if your one of my bloggy buddies that needs those special prayers and support just know I do care. I am thinking of you even if it is a week late.

I will be trying to use this week as yet another catch up week (yes I know broken record).
I will also put up a post about my past week. I am now 26 weeks prego. WOW!
Cooper fell yet again, damn near biting through his lip. I'm a nervous wreck because of this. My sweet angel boy is now 17 months old. I need to do a special post on him. The room is coming together. My best friend is having her baby shower in two weeks (I'm throwing with friends) and there is still so much to be done for that.
Life is great and busy. The weather's been gorg! I hope your all doing good :) Talk to you soon.

New ultrasound pics.

We went in for our 25 week check up.
Here are the new pics of sweet Blakely. We finally got a few of her face.

Our house

What's been going on at our household. SICKNESS! That's what.
This poor prego mama got the horrible throw up virus that's going around and let me just tell you, It was not fun. It all Started late Tuesday night. It lasted until yesterday when I had to go get help and fluids and some anti nausea meds to stop me from getting sick. Not a fun week for me. Today I'm trying to regain some strength and eat a little and just taking it easy. I have tons of blogs to catch up on and a post about my house I realize I never posted after I said I would weeks ago. A fellow blogger friend asked for some house pics. So I meant to post these weeks ago but I guess now will just have to do. So that's what this is. My house post.

Nothing too exciting though. We live in smaller 1400 sq foot starter home. The house needed new paint in every single room. Every door and floorboard needed to be repainted. The fireplace needed to be spruced up a lot. The whole house was outdated and in need of some style. We got married at the ripe young age of 20 and bought our house 3 months later. We weren't thinking ahead to children or anything really. I had no idea what I wanted out of my home. Now that we've been here 7-1/2 years, wow I can't believe its been that long. We intended on buying a new home before now but with the ivf and other things that came up we ended up staying here. One day we will build our dream home but for now we've made this little place our own. We have all the bedrooms filled now that we have baby number two on the way. I won't be including pics of her room. Not until its done. But I am posting all the rest. Its still a work in progress but here it is....

For starters our entryway..


Our living room. We have made lots of changes in our living room throughout the years. I am finally starting to feel like its coming together. I would love some crown molding along the ceiling in here and a few other things but we put in the wood floors and fixed the fireplace and repainted so its much better than what we started with.




The kitchen, as you can tell the kitchen needs new cabinets, counter tops and the list goes on. We just don't feel that putting more money into this house on these big projects is really worth it. So we will wait for the next house to get the kitchen of my dreams.


Coopy's room


The guest bathroom Aka Hubbies bathroom.

Our bedroom..
Ignore the colorful quilt on our bed, I took these pictures during the snowstorm and it was freezing outside so we had the extra quilt on our bed.

I didn't take any pictures of the master bath or the hallways, I got lazy.

Most of these pictures I took during the day on the snow days a few weeks ago. So the lighting isn't the best. But you get the point. Well welcome to our home. Small but cozy. :)

Week 25

I don't have a lot of time but I wanted to do a quick 25 week post.

I feel great, truly I'm feeling really good. Growing a ton, At least I feel like I am. Not a good thing probably....

We go to the doc on Friday and I will post again after that appointment and give you all an update. But for now a few pics from this week.

Try to ignore my get up. Its a snowy mess outside and I had to go to work today so I wore the trusty old snow boots. :)

Snow week/pictures!

What a big boy he is!




Petting his doggies. :)

Playing with the dog toys.
Playing with the dog toy basket....

Playing in the snow with Mom and Dad.




We had a busy week doing things in the house during our snow storm. Hopefully its over with for now. But they are saying more this week :(
