the past couple weeks

Category: baby | April 12th, 2012


(umm…is it too early to start showing?? bc i am.) ;)
unfortunately the majority of my days (and nights) have been spent laying down…on the floor, on the couch, on the bed, on top of tons of toys because i don’t have the energy to move them. ;) let’s just say this baby, as tiny as it is, is wearing me out!! man. not to mention the lovely morning sickness that has kicked in full force. if you followed this blog when i was pregnant with P then you might remember how bad i had it with her too, not to mention how long (19 weeks!) i am hoping it’s not as bad this time around. we shall see! miss P and the mister have been troopers when it comes with dealing with me and my “lack of energy”…especially when it comes to food. ha. chick fil a has been very helpful lately.

well i’m officially 8 weeks today. :) i debated on when to announce this baby. usually you wait until you hear/see the first heartbeat but being with a midwife again there aren’t any ultrasounds to hear the heartbeat that early. around 10-12 weeks is when she can pick it up via doppler. clearly i couldn’t wait that long to spread the good news. but i trust God and know there’s a baby in there….otherwise something is really wrong with my body! ;)

it feels so good to be able to talk about what’s going on in my life now! hopefully i don’t scare off any readers with this new obsession. ;) i plan on doing another “belly series” with this baby. i like being able to look back at my growing belly and see what was going on at the time (because if i didn’t have those notes then i wouldn’t have been able to remember that much). but i won’t start until 12 weeks like last time. get excited! ;)

1st Easter egg hunt!

Category: baby, everyday | April 2nd, 2012


our neighborhood hosted it’s annual Easter egg hunt on saturday at the park and of course we had to go to it this year. last year she was too tiny to enjoy it but this year i knew she’d love it. we might have practiced around the house in the morning to get ready. ;)






she did great! better than i thought too. she had fun with all her friends, pet real bunnies (one was named penelope!) and jumped/sat while everyone else jumped around her in the mini bounce house. she wasn’t a fan of the Easter bunny (i don’t blame her!)….so didn’t get a chance to get a good photo. lol.







we had fun hanging with our friends too. (miss you K&H!!) other than the egg hunt it was a pretty lazy (much needed lazy) day with the fam. i even took a nap when P did. been so tired lately. we have another egg hunt at church this sunday…she’s going to be pro by then. :)

miss you katy!

so you know when you find an amazing person who becomes your best friend over just a few months and your daughters are only a couple months a part and are besties too (of course)…..and then they have to get up and move across the country. sigh. yea that happened to me this past week. my sweet, sweet friend katy had to move (the mister got a promotion) and officially moved out of their house which was 5 minutes away from us…..that is a big deal considering we live out in the sticks. i’m not going to get all sappy on y’all but just wanted to give a shout out to my friend and tell her i love her and miss her already!!….even though it hasn’t kicked in yet that she’s really gone. i’m just glad we have our mad texting skills still. i don’t know what i’d do without that. here’s just a “few” photos of the girls together. clearly i take more photos of them then of katy and i. ;)



this was their first play date. too cute!




their first chickfila date together.



i realized i don’t have many recent photos of them together…almost all of the ones above are before they could walk so it was easier. ;)

already looking forward to the next time y’all come to visit!!! xox
