Not so Happy Easter

This was the face I got when trying to take Easter pictures.....He was beyond exhausted! Oh well, at least he had a good morning at Church and liked his cute outfit!

Spring has sprung

I'm loving this weather. It is a little hotter than usual this time of year, but I'll take anything over snow, even the pollen that comes with it! We've (Hubby) put the screen in the front door and we leave windows open all day! It's bliss! Our house gets a lot of wind, so we get a great breeze and can go without the A/C for a little longer - um, this year, we might need to cut it on sooner than later with baby on the way - just saying!

Gigi and Pop came in for Easter and we had a great weekend playing with LH and shopping! We orderd the crib!!! It is coming from Walmart and shipping to the store so we didn't have any costs associated with that - woohoo! It will be here before the end of April!!! I was shocked fully expecting it to be here in 6-8 weeks or something. SO, now we gotta get a move on the dresser and really get our ducks in a row. We looked for bedding, but I still can't find anything that I like, which will put me back at making it (aka - MIL making it)!! I will help measure and cut fabric - she will sew! I will post a pic of what I found at Joann's last week. I am still on the lookout for another color (hopefully orange) that I can accent with.

Hubby and I had a date night while Gigi and Pop kept LH overnight! We had a great dinner at Olive Garden (used a gift card too - so double wow!) and we stayed out too late - around 8:30! HAHA! We ran some errands on my quest for an outdoor umbrella with no luck! We then laid around on the couch watching TV and just talking. It was nice but we were so exhausted.

We enjoyed a great Easter lunch with both sides of grandparents and my brother. I hope to get a picture posted of our sweet family soon....Hubby and I were happy, LH notsomuch. It was way past his naptime and he was done. He had a full belly and was not interested in wearing his cute outfit any longer! Oh well, I'm sure I'll dress him in it again, so maybe I'll get a good pic then!

We are getting stuff done around the house. This weekend we will put shelves up in the basement and clean out the dresser in the baby's room. Hopefully we can start prepping it to be painted and maybe find some new drawer pulls!

I'm also hoping the weather will be fairly nice and we can spend some time outside again!!!

I have plenty....promise

And I'll fill you in after this beautiful weekend.

It is just way to pretty out there to spend too much time on the computer!!!

Happy Easter and enjoy this weekend with family and friends!

All Dyed Up

We had such a great spring evening last night. We grilled out hot dogs, ate on the deck, then dyed eggs! LH and I had our hands covered in blues, greens, and purples! It was all worth it when you hear him say "Mommy, I love hanging out with you!" Awwwww. Melt my heart. Here are the pics from our egg adventure.

Our happy little family!
Helping me pick the color!

That little egg holder really doesn't work!

18 weeks

It's starting to pop! I've felt more pregnant in the last few days but I know it will just get bigger and bigger!!! Not the best photo, but I needed to take one!!!! Without me "emphasizing" the belly, its not that noticable yet if you didn't know to really look for it, so that is nice, but I'm sure that will all be changing soon!

The Pressure

To please all of you!!!!

I am so giddy when I notice I have a few more followers on my page! Really, the littlest things just make me smile! I've always been that way! I get super excited over the tiniest thing that most people look over. It is quite comical to some!

But, with that, the pressure is ON!! I want to make sure that I am still on my A game on this blog and not to let you down.

We shall see. I'm sure with the added stress and hormonal changes ahead, I can come up with plenty to entertain! Thanks for the support!

Early bird gets the worm

This bird would rather have some sleep - sometimes!

I am still not sleeping well. I fall asleep great, but end up waking up and tossing and turning. This past Saturday, I was up at 5. Since it wasn't the middle of the night, I got up and was productive. I emptied the dishwasher, did 2 loads of laundry, caught up on dvr, let the dogs out and fed them, and did some online browsing - the cribs and such from mom!

LH was up by 7 and we ate breakfast and got ready for the day. Hubby was up around 8 and then we all got ready to go to a friend's house for an Easter Egg Hunt! I felt so accomplished by 8 am - it was great! I tried to take a nap that afternoon only to toss and turn some more, so up I was again. We had dinner plans and left LH with a sitter! It was a really good day.

Sunday morning we were all up before 6:15 and had breakfast and dishes done before 7! Since we had some time before Church, I convinced Hubby that the "spare/junk/office/nursery" room needed to be worked on! We got all the maternity clothes packed up and ready to return to their owners, toys and junk cleaned out and put back where it belongs, and you can see the floor again. We have to keep it this way!!! If we don't, the poor baby will get lost in there!!! All that is left is to clean out his closet and the dresser housing all the office supplies and such, which will be moved downstairs with the desk! We also had time to get the basement pieced back together. It isn't done yet, but a few shelves and some more pictures, and we are done.

This all made me feel so much better. My anxiety level has decreased immensely now that the room is clutter free and ready for whatever baby needs.
