Where has time gone?

Can it really be true that today I went to check out preschools for my daughter? It seems like yesterday I was giving her a bottle and putting her down for a nap; now she is going to have a backpack and head to school. FREAKS. ME. OUT!

I want my little baby back...I want to be the center of her world....and now she is so big. I think that with time, I will learn to adjust to the change...and I know it is what is best for her. I loved the preschool, and the teacher seemed great! However, the transition from being with her all the time, to not might be harder on me than her.

My Life Now

My life has changed a little since the last time I posted! This is what my life looks like now...

We went from this.....

and added this little one....

my first born baby went from looking like this.....

to all grown up with this haircut!
Times have changed....and I welcome them!

Garrett joined our family on June 18th, and has been a delight ever since.

Life and Other Stuff...

Some of you might have been asking where have I been again? Well, being pregnant this time has been more than I can handle some days. It has been so different having a 3 yr. old at home with me all day, then when I worked full-time when I was pregnant with her. She pulls every ounce of energy from my day...which with the little one in my belly hasn't been very much.

Did I mention that we are having a BOY????? Yes, I said boy. In all honesty, I am a little terrified. I grew up in a family with all women, no fathers, grandfathers, brothers or uncles to be seen....seriously, my husband is the first man I ever spent a lot of time around.

How do you even potty train a boy? Oh well, I keep telling myself that I have years to figure it out. Not to mention, I have a husband that is a boy, to help out. We have been surrounded with baby blue, air planes, and all things boy around here. I have had 2 ultrasounds, and believe me...without question...this is a BOY.

With my last pregnancy, I had blood pressure issues at the end, and apparently they are worried about it again. My blood pressure has been ok during this pregnancy, so far, but they want to make sure. I have to go weekly until the end of my pregnancy...which will be until the middle of June...that is a long time to be going every week. I understand that I need to do what is best for the little guy in my tummy, so I will do what I am asked.

If you are reading this, that means you are still hanging with me, and for that I appreciate it! I promise to try to update on a more regular basis.

Christmas is here!

I am sorry I have been delayed in posting what a great SSS partner I had this year. This pregnancy induced exhaustion is killing me! My camera died not too long after my first (yes, I said first) package arrived, so I don't have pictures....so SORRY!!!!

The first package arrived, and it was truly adorable note cards with my name printed on them. They are ADORABLE!!!!! The card is hot pink and lettering is in black, one of my favorite color combos! A perfect gift and I was super excited about it! Then a few days ago, I got a second package..can you believe it?

The in my questionnaire, I mentioned that I would like to try the new Twilight Woods scent from Bath and Body Works. I tore into my package, and much to my surprise, I got a complete set of 3 from that line at B & B!!!!! I was so excited!

My SSS partner, you went way, way above and beyond this Christmas! If you have read my blog, you will know that this one will be rough...grieving and all. Just know that you helped make my holiday season much brighter!!!


Thanks again!

Happy *Late* Halloween!

I am sorry for having gone so long without posting. Although it is kinda nice to be missed! As some of you suspected, the exhaustion has hit in a hard way around here. That mixed with having a very vocal 2 1/2 year old, and it makes for long days! Thanks for dropping by and the comments of concern! I appreciate it!

I went to the Dr. for a 2nd appointment, and everything went really well. They did an ultra-sound and it is amazing that a little person the size of a blueberry already has a heart that beats 122 beats per minute! I could see it just beating away....amazing, God really knows what he is doing.

I am going to have to take an early Glucose test, as I have been constantly thirsty since I found out I was pregnant. I didn't have G. Diabetes with the Princess, but I was on the border. So, I am not going to be surprised if it comes back positive. I will just have to change some eating habits....but no one likes that!

I want to leave you with some adorable pictures of our Minnie Mouse! Hope you all had a great Trick or Treat!

1st Dr. Appt

Today is the first of many doctor's appointments to come. I am excited, but a little nervous to start this all over again.

It has been 3 years since I have been to see these doctors...and to know there is a baby growing inside me. I am relieved that after trying so hard for so long, it has finally happened. However, there is no turning back now. He or she is coming....
