19 weeks left!

So I am starting to freak...only 19 weeks left, it seems long but boy the first part of my pregnancy just flew by! Since our house is on the market I can't start doing things in the nursery. Unfortunately, I have been going baby shopping to make up for that. I can get such great winter deals for the baby for next fall/winter right now. I have been to Belk's, Gymboree, Gap, Childrens Place, Tj Maxx and of course Target, which I have purchased some type of clothing for "the baby". Ryan is about to kill me but it is my only way of preparing....I can't go in the nursery and paint or start to decorate. I am a planner so this is driving me CRAZY! We have thought about taking our house off the market, it is so stressful, I keep it spotless 24/7...I am literally making the beds with my family still in them! So, it probably would be some what tight if we stayed here but my mental state would be a lot better. Kiley can go in with Emma Grace (that was why we got bunk beds) and I can start preparing for this sooner than later arrival. Plus I really LOVE my house, it is just the way I want it(except the master bedroom, looks like the day we moved in) and the house we were looking at is new construction so there would so much work to make it mine, with a newborn and the 2 girls I could do it but it would just be a lot on my plate. So, now that I have vented I actually feel a lot better! I just need to remember God is in control and he might not answer on our time but he is never late!

It's a BOY!!!

I am so excited!!!!!!! It's a BOY!!!!!!!! I think all along I wanted a boy because I knew it was our last but I didn't want to be ungrateful and as long as it was healthy I was happy, but let me tell you when they said boy I was overwhelmed with excitement and joy! Ryan was overly joyful! He has always wanted a son. So thank you God for a healthy baby and a boy!

The Big Day!

So tommorow I find out what I am having.....I can't wait!!! I haven't been this excited about something in a LONG time! I go back and forth with boy or girl constantly. I thought for sure girl, until they did an ultra-sound at 12 weeks and thought they saw "something". I was still very doubtful because the babies sex organs are not suppost to develop enough to be able to tell until later on...so I guess we will see. I can't wait to shop. I stop at every store in the baby section and pickup blue and then pink and then yellow and then put it all back because I know it's better to just wait then have to return all this stuff. I am such a planner and I think that is why I need to know and want to start picking stuff up when I see a good deal. Well, I will let you know!

15 weeks Prego!





Well, I am cured!!!! I feel 180% better, I mean I still am a little nauseous but I can actually leave my bed!!! Yippee!!! I can't believe how the time has flown by, I need more of it. I will be 4 months on Monday. Only 5 more to go, that scares me. My life will be BUSY, I mean right now the girls are playing together and I can basically do whatever needs to be done. Still, I can't wait to hold a newborn.....oh, I just can't wait!

Cheerleading, Kiley's new sport!


Well, this season Kiley decided she wanted to "try" cheerleading, I didn't think she would like it because she never really liked dance class. Well, I was wrong, she loves it. All I can say is "GO KILEY!"!

Emma Grace


Well, last weekend we went to Blakeney to eat at Chili's. It occurred to me that Sweet ans Sassy was in the shopping center and I promised the girls a visit in the past and since I am finally feeling good and we were right there we would check it out and "talk" about getting their ear's pierced (this will be Kiley's 4th attempt). So we walk in, the smell of bubble gum is in the air, there are feathers and sparkles and girly stuff EVERYWHERE! Hannah Montana is on the tv screens and I am starting to feel bad for Ryan when he starts singing along....okay, he is definitely the father of girls! So anyways I ask Kiley if she is ready and of course the answer would be "no, maybe when I turn 6 or 7 or 8..." Emma Grace on the other hand is already in the chair picking out her earrings. Emma Grace went through with it. She did cry a little but then she looked in the mirror and realized she had earrings, and since she is SOOOO girly the pain for her was well worth it. Kiley was fine walking out with no holes in her ears. She says she wants to have her Birthday party there and maybe then she will get her ears pierce with all her friends there for emotional support, I doubt it.

Christmas




We had a great Christmas. The girls got everything they asked for and more. I got way more than I needed. And Ryan being so easy to please he got what I thought he needed since he said he didn't want anything. Kiley got her Webkinz and Emma Grace got plenty of dress up gear since she really thinks she is a princess. We had another wonderful Christmas and just think next year we will have one more blessing to add to the joyfulness of this time of year.
