This is my norm

Well I have been super busy lately trying to get my house unpacked. Ugh!! It is never ending. My mom brought up some more of our stuff today that she had been storing for us, so now the things I had unpacked and were making the home look homey, well now it looks like a disaster again. But it will be better soon. I have been working hard.

This weekend was fun, we went to Lake Texoma for a family reunion on my side. It was good to get to see everyone again. I haven’t been since before I got engaged, so everyone was able to meet my hubby and see my belly 🙂 Next year we will have a little 8 month old girl to bring along with us.

So now we are back and working hard again. BJ and I get to go to Olive Garden tonight with my dad and some people that are going to be visiting and speaking at our church. Pretty cool that we get to be a part of the welcoming committee 🙂 Plus, who could resist a meal at Olive Garden. We haven’t been eating out much lately because we are both on diets. BJ has lost over 30 lbs and I have lost 2 and not regained it, even though the baby is growing, so really I have probably lost more than that. My doctor will be so happy with me. I have gained 15 lbs total so far and I still have two more full months of some major growing time, so I am trying to watch what I eat and eat good foods for me and the princess.

Speaking of the princess, for those of you who haven’t put in your vote on the guessing game for weight, height and due date you should. DOn’t forget there is a prize involved 🙂 You already have one given, its a girl…so the rest should be easy right :)????

Well over the weekend we moved into our new home. It was a nice move since we only had to unload. Everything was still in the truck from when we moved out of our house in Waco. Plus we had more people helping us so it went pretty quickly. Now we are in the land of boxes and slowly but surely getting unpacked! I have a shower at my house on the 16 of July so I have to be done by then at least if not before. I will get some pictures up here as soon as I get my camera and computer hooked up. I am still using the computer at BJ’s parents’ house, so soon I will have mine set up at home.

Update on the baby name….it is official. We have a name 🙂 Bj finally agreed to solidify the name. So now we no for sure what our little princess will be called!! I can’t wait until all of you know too!!!

Well I am soooo so tired so I am going to lay down for a siesta.

Bye for now 🙂

Well I am back from my appointment and it went good. I can’t believe that I am already finished with my every-four-week appointments, now I go in three weeks for a lab and a shot and then every two weeks after that until the last month, then I go every week. WOW!! 3 more weeks and I will be in my THIRD TRIMESTER!!! I am so ready to have this little girl out to play with her. But, I have alot of preparations to do so I need all the time I can get.

Anyway, I measured perfectly and the heartbeat was excellent!! Now I just have to have my gestational diabetes test and my Rho Gham shot next time. Yuck.

Anyway, the carpet is coming today and I am excited because that is the last major thing and then they are going to clean the house and then we move in!!! Yippee.

Tonight I am hanging out with my friend deborah, because yesterday was her 22 birthday! Happy Day after your birthday deb!

Well ta ta, I am going to find me some lunch 🙂

Well we had an adventurous night last night. 8 counties in the power grid went down and had no power. Somewhere around 70,000 people!!! The electrical plant that controls all of them had a fire inside and so the power was out for about 4 hours. We all sat around a camping lantern and played cards after dinner, because it was dark and there was nothing else to do. THen we decided, because they said it could be up to 8 more hours before we all had power again, that we would hook up a backup generator for the refrigerators and freezer. Well all that work and it was on in about 10 minutes. 🙂 Oh well at least we didn’t have ruined food.

Today I have my 24 week appointment. I feel like I haven’t been to the doctor in forever! Then next time I have to have this big shot because I have negative blood and bj has positive. Yuck I hate hate hate shots!! But I’m excited because I love to hear the heartbeat. Its such a great sound. I’m afraid one time there going to listen and the little miss is going to say something. haha…she moves around so much it is amazing. Yesterday I was so sore from her kicking me the night before. Its amazing what a little 1 1/2 lb. babe can do to you.

Then tonight is Bj’s second basketball game for this summer league he is playing in. They won last week but it was sort of boring because bj didn’t play very much. So hopefully he will tonight so it will be more entertaining.

Only two more days until we move into the house!!! Whoo hoo. They finished painting the baby room and its so cute. I am going to have to get over there and take some after pictures now that everything is almost done. I can’t wait to fix it up.

Well have a wonderful day all!!!

Today is our 2 year anniversary!!! Wow, seems like just yesterday we were preparing for our wedding and here we are two years later preparing for the birth of our child. That’s amazing. Time flies when you’re having fun!!

Tonight we are going to Benihanna. I love that place and have been craving it for so long. So we have been waiting to go for our anniversary.

Well I am hard at work thinking up new ways to get customers for Mary Kay! Hope everyone has a swell day!!!

Well the house is just about finished….they have some touching up on the paint to do this week, get the house exterminated, lay the carpet and voila! We are moving on Saturday!!! I am so excited. The house has really taken a face lift. It is amazing how different it looks. Still very rustic, but livable 🙂 So if anyone is interested in helping move we are providing steaks and baked potatos afterward 🙂 YUM YUM!!!

I am now officially 6 months pregnant according to counting by weeks.
24 weeks=6months 🙂 Wow!!! Just a little longer to go and we’ll have a little princess on our hands. I am so excited.

I found out this weekend that we are having 2 more showers as well as one more that I already knew about. God is so wonderful to allow us to have such wonderful people in our lives. We are so incredibly blessed. So this week I registered for a few things at Target, because the babies rus is sort of far for our friends in Willis. I love picking out all the cute things for our little daughter. I am so excited about meeting her in just a few short months. Although I’ve been pregnant now for a while it still amazes me that we are actually having a real baby. I know it sounds silly but its true. It is truly a miracle, the gift of life and the process of life. I am amazed!!

Well, so many things to do today!!! Love you all and talk to you later!

Wow, last night the little miss was beating me up in there. I had to check for stretch marks this morning. Wowee…I was actually sore from it. SHe’s getting bigger and strong, which is a good thing, but wow, she has a hard kick!

I am trying to post some pictures of the house so you can all see how it is being transformed, but I haven’t got them all on the computer yet, so bear with me. These are the first few of before we even got to see it while the previous owners were in it. Pretty dark and dungeon-y.

This is in the living room…they are leaving the tv, which is cool..except ours looks exactly like it. Anyone want to buy a tv???

This is the kitchen….so gloomy! yuck!

Our state of the art garage 🙂

The circle driveway 🙂

My driveway…we live on a deadend…we are the end!

The new nursery- Barf!!! Not good for my princess…we will be making it beautiful!

The master bath….which has no bath…we are remodeling the whole structure of this room so it will look totally different and will include a bath 🙂

My new home office…again, so gloomy and like a dungeon.

Subject: The Mommy Test

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter.
She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her
mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.
“Why?” my daughter asked. “Because it’s been laying outside, you don’t
know where it’s been , it’s dirty and probably has germs,” I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and
asked, “Wow! How do you know all this stuff?” “Uh,” … I was thinking
quickly, “all moms know this stuff. It’s on the Mommy Test. You have
to know it, or they don’t let you be a Mommy.” We walked along in
silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new
information. “OH… I get it!” she beamed. “So if you don’t pass the
test you have to be the daddy.” “Exactly,” I replied back with a big
smile on my face and joy in my heart.

When you’re finished laughing, send this to a Mom.

All I can say is wow!! I can’t wait to be that size again 🙂 I feel like my body has become one other than my own. Now don’t get me wrong I love being pregnant, but WOWEEE!!!!
The first pic was me at 5 weeks and now me at 23 weeks. Go go Gadget Belly!
