6 months preggo....and counting....


pregnancy update---
I will be 25 weeks tomorrow. -this picture was taken last week-
When I went to the doctor last week he said:
*both babies heart rates are still good.
*i was only 24 weeks but my belly is measuring 33 weeks!!! (oh boy!)
*it's good that I'm done working because the braxton hicks I've been experiencing means i need to rest.
* I now need to visit the doctor every 2 weeks instead of 4.
* SO far so good:)
Now that I am a stay at home wife and baby incubator I have been:
*cleaning the house--I gave myself a room or two to do everyday, that way I don't over work myself but everything stays clean.
*I've been working on organising projects. I got the laundry room/ where i put all my craft stuff, done last week. This weeks project is Kitchen drawers.
*I placed my first Avon order! I'm glad that I have customers and I'm glad that I'm able to bring in a little bit of money now that I'm a home maker... plus the discounted makeup is awesome!
*I've also had a lot of appointments and have kept busy. Today I took Chuck to get his shots, tomorrow I have a dentist appointment, Wednesday I have a meeting with my insurance, etc, etc.... Trying to get all the loose ends tied before these babies.
Kole has been such an awesome husband. He really takes such good care of me. He's been cleaning all the kitty litter stuff since we found out we were pregnant. Now he's taken over the vacuuming because it's hard on my belly. He always is making sure I'm comfortable. And he's also been cooking dinner a couple times a week, even though he's worked all day, and even though I've been at home all day, just because I look tired (which I usually am). I love you honey! Thank you for all that you do!
This past weekend Kole and I went to kanab to visit with his grandma and to hang out with Danielle, Kris and the kids. Saturday we went to a football game, our cousin Liz's baby shower..later the boys helped Danielle's sister move into her new house while Danielle and her mom unpacked and decorated and Danielle's sister taught me how to can dilly-beans. It was a fun busy day. It was good to visit with grandma Ramsay, Danielle's family, and Kole's mom. The only downer of the weekend was getting the news that my grandma Elaine passed away yesterday, she's struggled with alzheimer's disease for a very long time. Even though we all knew it was coming it is still very hard. I'm glad that she was able to live a long life (87 years) have 7 kids, lots of grand kids, and even more great-grand children. I'm also glad that she will be able to be with my grandpa who passed away over a decade ago. Love you grandma.

just a little bonding time

So now that I'm off work and on "limited mobility" as my doctor calls it-(which is basically: if you feel tired then rest and don't over work your self cuz it's not good for babies) I've been able to spend more time with this little guy.
He has recently started sitting on me like this. Probably because every time he climbs on my belly I push him off, But I like to think it's because he's bonding with his human brothers who are about to over run this house in a few months.... :)

Lately I Like


Lately I Like:.....

*how every night my husband puts his hand on my belly until he can feel both babies. And how every time he gets close enough for them to hear him talk, they wiggle around like crazy!!!





* baby books!!!! These ones are from my awesome boss and girls from my office. On Monday they took me out for lunch and gave me these for my last week of work. I am so grateful for all these people and the opportunity I got to work with all of them. I'm gonna miss seeing you all on a weekly basis.












* my cats new obsession with this random barbie head they found in the kids toy box we have for when our nieces and nephews come visit. They both pack this thing around like it's the best toy ever!! ... I don't get it...but it's funny any way!











*that at our last ultra sound appointment the pictures she printed out for us were more 'boy part' pictures. Because she said "everyone loves to see these" hahaha



*banana flavored tootsie roll pops!!! At my friends wedding reception they had a bunch of these and I fell in LOVE!! They mix my 3 favorite things... banana flavored candy, tootsie rolls, and suckers.










* a fridge, freezer, and pantry full of groceries!!




*labor day sales!!! I love this time of year! We went and bought a couch set today. We've been saving for a while.. we got a killer deal and we'll get them in the next couple weeks. I'm super EXCITED!!!


Things I'm not liking so much lately....
-the smell of garages.... yuck! it is not making my pregnant belly or gag reflex happy.
-that last week was my last at work:(
-having to pay for groceries when you haven't gone in a month.
-using the bathroom 5,732 times a day(and night)!
-the way Dexter season 4 ended... I mean What in the HECK!?!?
