Thankful on Thursday

1)  Being 18 weeks pregnant today...so excited and thrilled to meet our baby boy in December :)  Belly is growing and mommy is happy about it!!

2)  My wonderful hubby....while I am super excited to meet our baby boy, I still worry (mainly because I can't feel him yet) and have moments of "please be growing, please be growing!" and through it all he keeps smiling, rubbing my back and telling me he loves US all the time!!

3) Great pool time with Kbarbs, Tim (briefly since he was getting burnt from the shade and pavement), Lindsay, Ptown, Iya (swimming so much) and Avery!!

4)  Leo for cuddling with me every morning after TJ leaves for work and for being so excited when I finally wake up and talk to him!!

5) This time next week, We'll be with my parents enjoying some family time!!  I CANNOT WAIT!!!!  So wish they were closer, but seeing the whales is pretty impressive!

6) Some relief from the heat headed our way this weekend...did I mention that it will be a high of 70 at my parents...so excited!!!

7)  Clearing out the room that will become the baby's nursery :)

8)  My mom for agreeing to stay with us and watch the baby for a few months while I go back to work...she's the BEST!!!

Revealing Thankful on Thursday

We have lots to be thankful for this Thursday so I won't keep you in suspense!!

1)  I think it is only normal that I have been a little worried this pregnancy due to my past...my hubby likes to joke that I'm crazy (partly true).  That being said, I have been feeling lots of pressure lately and on Monday had very light and minimal spotting (twice).  So what did I do...freak out!!  Went to the doctor who didn't see anything wrong and heard a healthy and strong heartbeat, but ordered an ultrasound this week to check out the baby and my cervix (especially given my past).  Here is a happy, healthy and measuring 4 days ahead Baby Y :) The baby is looking at us and that is the left hand waving!!  We got to see the head, spine, kidney's, arms, hands, legs, feet and heart beating away!  Everything on Baby and Mommy looks great!

Baby Y at 16 weeks

2)  It gets better....I know your asking how....seriously though....we found out today that Baby Y is a bouncing baby BOY :)

Thanks Ashley for the idea of how to tell our parents and siblings via  Skype :)  That is the smile of a non-crazy happy pregnant woman!!

3)  My amazing husband for putting up with my worrying, crying and constantly asking him if my belly and boobs look bigger (not that he minds that much).  He is going to be a wonderful daddy and I am blessed to be married to such a wonderful man.

4)  Ashley....for your never ending support and for keeping me calm on Monday!!  So thankful we are friends!!

5) My wonderful mother who continues to always listen to me and for always putting a positive spin on everything!  I only hope to be half the mom she is!   You are amazing mom and I love you!!

6)  Spending time with Allison and Ben this weekend!!!!

7)  Air conditioning....seriously it is disgusting outside!!

8)  Leo...my little furry boy!!  He always makes me laugh and cuddles at just the right times.  Here is a video of him playing with the sprinkler in our backyard!!  Isn't he the cutest thing ever??

 

9) Only three more weeks until we visit my parents in WA!!!

Until next time....thanks for all your support, enjoy and stay cool :)

Happy Anniversary

Today is our third wedding anniversary....where did the three years go??  I'm one of those people who truly believes and knows that I married the love of my life and my best friend.  I cannot wait to spend many more years together.  I actually look forward to getting old and wrinkly with my hubby!  I love, love, love, love him!  Together we make a perfect match!  I think this sums TJ and I up:
"YOU ARE THE Peanut to my Butter, Twinkle to my Eye, Shake to my Bake, Blue in my Sky, Sprinkles on my Sundae, Flip to my Flop, Bumble to my Bee, Jewel on my Crown, Milk to my Shake, Spring in my Step, Beat of my Heart, Love of my Life."
Here are some of my favorite Wedding Pictures :)

A year ago today....

A year ago today, TJ and I found out we were pregnant with our first baby thanks to Shady Grove.  While it did not end as expected, it is still a day I will never forget and a day I will remember with happiness.  My sister and nephew, Erik, were here to make the day extra special.

We are still continuing on our quest to become parents and start a family......we continue to wish that all our hopes and dreams of starting a family will come true in the near future...we just keep believing :)

Thankful on Thursday

I feel like this has been the longest week ever!!!

1) I am super thankful that I got to spend my entire spring break with my hubby and Leo.  We had so much fun together...it was much needed!!

2) A very exciting possible job opportunity for the hubby...fingers crossed :)

3) A clean house...so I didn't have to work on Monday (no worries, I worked the Saturday before spring break) and I was a cleaning machine!!!  I cleaned the floors, bathrooms, windows, baseboards and did all the laundry!!  I love having a clean house :)  I also made candles in the crock pot in between my cleaning...pictures coming soon!

4) A very supportive boss who didn't blink an eye when I left for an hour on Wednesday to go to the doctor (sinus infection and laryngitis) and then take off today to rest my vocal cords.  I do sound like a mouse half the time and raspy the other half but my nose is feeling much better.  I actually slept last night so that is a positive!!  Two thumbs down for Zpack though...rips my stomach apart!!

5)  My mom for always being there to listen and always sending me positive emails to keep my hope alive.

6) Leo....right now he is playing with his tongue...he keeps sticking it out and trying to lick invisible air....it's super cute.  He loves having TJ home during the day!!

7)  Happy and healthy babies for several friends :)

8) TJ....he is just amazing and I love him more and more each day. 

9)  Friends, both old and new...I feel blessed and am thankful for each and every one of you :)

Fabulous Friday

Let me start off by saying that the lack of posts this week are due to Spring Break and the fact that is has been super fabulous!  TJ resigned from his job, for so many reasons, and his last day was the Friday before Spring Break.  This is the first time since I've been working in Education that I've been able to spend my Spring Break with my hubby!! And.....he was happy and stress free!!  I worked on Saturday and we spent the afternoon with Ashley and Ace.  We did some couponing on Sunday and had dinner with Sandy and Jimmy (I don't know what I ate but I rocked hoopla with some wicked guesses!!)  We took Leo camping for a few days, stayed in our PJ's all day on Wednesday and then TJ spoiled me on my birthday.  It's days like these that remind me of how lucky, thankful and happy I am to be married to my best friend.  The best part was waking up, looking over at TJ only to see him smiling back at me and then having Leo wag his tail because we was so happy we were both up :)

Still excited for 4 more days of spring break......filled with a trip to visit TJ's friends on the farm, a visit to Grandma and Grandpa Y and to see baby Avery :)

Here is one of my favorite pictures from our camping trip....we attempted to get all our feet/paws in it.... (I can't figure out how to flip it....you get the point!!)

Until next time........
