10 Weeks To Go!

I am 30 weeks this week, yea!  I am more and more miserable by the day but hey, it is just a part of it.  I am very blessed that God chose me to carry this precious boy and to be his Mommy.  We have been working very hard on the nursery this past week, so hopefully I can show some sneak peak pictures next week.  As for now, here is my humongous belly.

30weeks

I do not even have words for it anymore!  On a good note, I was able to pick up my awesome diaper bag yesterday.  I am so excited because a friend was able to get it through a girl she knows at cost instead of spending an outrageous amount on it. Kalencom Jackie O

Last night we celebrated Jarred's birthday.  Jacob and I made him a cake (well, Jacob got bored with it and ran off) and waited on him to get home.  He had no idea I bought him anything for his birthday so to say he was surprised at what he got is an understatement.     IMG_3496  IMG_3498IMG_3500

I do not get a smile like that out of him very often!

My poor excuse for a cake (well the cake was good, the writing, not so much).

I am glad he had a happy birthday.  I even let him off the hook on painting last night.  Happy Thursday!

To my wonderful husband-

Today you are 29, wow I can not believe that we are already in our late twenties!  I can remember like it was yesterday when you and I were just a bunch of teenagers being young and in love, now here we are growing closer each year with our beautiful family.  Thank you for being such a wonderful husband and father.  Jacob loves his daddy more than life itself and follows your every move.  I am so proud to call you my husband and the father of my children.  I can not wait to celebrate MANY more birthdays with you! 

I love you!!

Weekend Recap

We had a pretty busy weekend that came and went.  Friday night I had GNO at Amy's house.  It was a fun time had by all, we called it a night pretty early though.  Jarred went hunting with his buddies since it was opening weekend so I was able to go home to a nice quite house.  I got a great night's sleep and went for a much needed massage on Saturday morning. 

The massage was wonderful but went by way too fast.  It put me in a very relaxed mood.  After my massage, I did a little shopping for Christmas (I am trying to be done in case Baby Colyn decides to come early) and then picked up Jacob to go watch the Bama game with my parents.  Here is my little man in his Bama gear that Trina handed down to us.

Sunday I helped with Amy's baby tea.  Morgan was generous enough to have it at her house, even though she is due in two weeks!  Everything turned out so nice.  We did primary colors because Amy and Mark are not finding out what they are having.  We are all so excited about the big surprise.  Here are a few pictures from the festivities.

29 Weeks

I am getting closer and closer!  This week has been pretty busy, we started working on the nursery last night.  I can not wait to get it finished so I can show it off.  Here is my weekly belly picture.

29weeks

Jarred told me the other night that he did not think my stomach could stretch any more, but oh how it amazes me to see these pictures every week and realize that it can in fact continue to stretch.  I finally got a really nice complement (other than the sweet comments y'all leave me) from a girl on Tuesday, she told me I was the cutest pregnant person she had ever seen.  That made me week!

I meant to share the sweet little elephant that I had made for Colyn last week.  Rachel has a shop on etsy,  Little Tumblebees.  She makes the cutest baby items.  I emailed her about doing my little elephant in the same fabric as my crib and she was sweet enough to do it.  So, here is a little sneak peak at what my fabric is going to be for the nursery and my cute little elephant that Rachel made.

Sorry the poor quality, it was on my cell phone.  And in case it looks pink, it's not.  Check out Rachel's shop for all her cute items.  I hope you all have a great Thursday!

I Love Fall

We had a pretty low key weekend.  Jarred's buddies came up to watch football on Saturday and we went to church yesterday.  It finally stopped raining long enough for us to go buy the mums and hay belles I have been wanting.  Jarred was able to cut the grass and we got our front porch decorated for Fall.  Oh how I love Fall!

Jacob decided he wanted to pull the hay out!

He had to ring the door bell.

28 Weeks

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and of course it was very uneventful.  Although, Dr. Benton did ask where my belly came from.  Okay, I get it I am huge!  She measured me, listened to the heartbeat and sent me on my way.  She did say that my iron was low so I have to start taking iron pills again, which I kind of figured since I have been munching on ice a lot lately.  I go back in three weeks then I start every two.  It is getting closer.  Here is my belly picture for the week.

28weeks

I have started my nesting phase I believe.  I am picking up and cleaning every night now.  I can not sit still anymore, I feel like I need everything to be organized.  Last night I worked on Jacob and Colyn's wreaths.  They are almost done, just need letters for their names.  I also organized Jacob's closet and got his winter clothes washed and ready to be worn.  I am hoping to have Jarred and his buddy paint the nursery next weekend, we shall see.  I hope y'all have a great Thursday!
