The things daddy's do!!

Thank you Hobby Lobby!

Right now my windows are covered with blankets or sheets. Not kidding. My wonderful mother-in-law is making us black out shades to remedy our situation and I am so, so grateful. Now I am on the hunt for fabric. Once a month Joanne's fabric sends out a 40% off coupon.. but I have exhausted those resources and my eyes are now on Hobby Lobby. Well.. this week you can print off a 40% off coupon (usually 25%) from their website. Lucky for me, the fabric I want for Moses' room is there and tomorrow I am going to go snatch some up! If you're in need of anything, HERE is where you can print off the coupon!

29 Weeks!

I am not a huge fan of pictures.. while pregnant.. but here ya go, eat your heart out! Barefoot and pregnant, go figure!

I had another ultrasound today and everything is looking fabulous. Thankfully the placenta moved far away from the danger zone so there is no need to talk about a c-section. Hallelujah. Right now Baby Girl is 2lbs 12oz and looking good.. although from the size of my belly you'd think she was twice that size! Time is flying, she will be here before we know it!

Question.. how is it even possible that this child is in the 20th percentile for weight?? Sorry, doc, I just don't think so!! Ha!

Hello Third Trimester!

Can you believe it?! This pregnancy is flying by! I can hardly believe that in 3 short months we will be welcoming our sweet little girl into this world - it will be here before we know it. In many ways it is a blessing that the first half of pregnancy is so rough for me. I think it makes these last months so much sweeter. I relish all these baby movements and now that I know what it is like to have a newborn I am relishing my sleep, too! And while I do still get sick every now and again.. Moses thinks it's hilarious. He follows me everywhere.. so if I need to get sick it's not long until he is in the bathroom too - CRACKING UP. Yep, if Mom is heaving Moses is laughing. How wrong is that?!

I have been busy prepping this place - our garage is organized, the pantry has been rearranged and we have cleared out the nursery in preparation for decorating. Now I just need to actually decorate (and furnish!) her room and stock up the freezer and I think we will be as ready as we can possibly be.

I have also been talking with Moses about his little sister.. but he so doesn't get it. I'll keep trying!

A baby, Mama? But I am your baby!

Is it ready, Mama??

Month of Meals.. Round Two!

Last month's meal planning turned out to be such a hit! One shopping trip and 4.5 hours of cooking (thanks to all the help from my mother-in-law!) equaled 31 days of meal planned bliss. Really, it made my life so much easier! Now, here comes round two! I am changing it up a bit this month because I wanted some healthier options. The casseroles were delicious, but not very easy on my already expanding waist line! I had a few meals left over from last month, so I threw them into the mix, and my mother in law gave us some steaks and chicken breasts she bought. Here is what this month looks like, and where possible I linked the recipe!
