What's going on at our house?

So much has been happening around us. Last week we took Cooper to go see Elmo live with some friends of ours. We had a blast and even got to do the meet and greet before the show. I was afraid that he would freak out and cry when he met them but instead he just stared wide eyed and was cautious but seemed to enjoy them :) He LOVED the show. Here are some pics of us at the show. I think he had a blast.

Cooper with Grandma and Grandpa!

This past weekend we went to visit my parents. Cooper loves his Grandma and Grandpa. We had a great time with them. We spent most of Saturday searching for a dresser for Blakely's room. We finally found one, it was the complete opposite of what I had in mind for her nursery but when we saw it we fell in love. I can't wait to get the room done so I can share everything with you guys. Its just killing me holding out.
I have a shower April 9th and after that shower I fully intend on sharing the nursery with everyone.
Here are a few quick sneak peaks to hold you over though :)




Tonight we got Cooper's haircut, he got a big boy haircut. My husband used to get his haircut in a faux hawk and we thought it would be fun to give Cooper one this time. He can wear it down or we can spike it. Either way, here it is... The Rooster!
Here is a pic of my husband with his "Rooster" also.
After the hair appointment we went home and hung out and I took a 30 week picture.
I can't hardly believe I'm 30 weeks now. CRAZY.
I'm feeling really good minus all the discomfort at the end of the day. I think I'm doing really well. I'm eating those Russell Stover Maple Cream Eggs like they are going out of stock, this can't be healthy for the baby or for myself but oh well. THEY ARE AMAZING.

I also am adding a pic from last week that I took at 29 weeks.


That's about all we've been up to. We have some busy weeks ahead of us. I'm looking forward to all the fun family and friend time.

I just had to share this one. I love this boy so much! :)

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.
