More Halloween Fun!

Happy Halloween From Our Little Monkey!

Think Pink!

I had to get my blog all ready for Emma's debut! All I can do is think pink!

I will definitely have my laptop at the hospital with me giving updates and posting pictures. I am so excited, I can't stand it. It finally feels real! It better, right, it's happening in a week.

My Super Cute Husband!

My kids and husband surprised me tonight with this fun bassinet! It is the cutest thing ever. They even went to the craft store to find the perfect ribbon to put around it. So thoughtful!

2 Signs That My Baby Is Turning Into A Little Boy!

1. He can now open the refrigerator. Can you imagine the messes I have been cleaning up lately! Keep in mind, he is faster than I am nowadays so there is a lot of me chasing him around the kitchen mad. It's quite hilarious.

2. He can open the front door and escape. He runs directly to our next door neighbors house as fast as he can. They have 3 boys next door and I think he's trying to get out of this house filled with girls and get to the boys!

If he doesn't put me into labor in the next week and a half it will be a miracle.

2 Weeks To Go!

(This is the best picture you're gonna get when a 7 year old is my photographer)


I only have 2 weeks until my scheduled C-section. I am so anxious and excited! I have been having a lot of contractions and not feeling super well so I have made sure my hospital bag is packed. Donevan keeps telling me I need to get off of facebook and get back to my blog. I will try. Once Emma is here, maybe I'll have more to post.

Feeling Blessed!

Today, during Donevan's lunch break we went to a local tile store to pick out the tile for our basement bathroom. We stopped by Wendy's drive through to get a quick bite to eat on the way. As we sat at a red light, there was a man standing there with a sign in the freezing cold. The sign said, "Vietnam Veteran Homeless". Donevan rolled down the window and gave him his unopened Burger and French Fries. We sat there waiting for the light to turn green as this man ate his food. He couldn't shovel it in fast enough. He was literally starving. It's easy in this selfish, spoiled world that we live in to take for granted how blessed we really are. What color tile I am about to purchase for my basement is so petty compared to some of the trials that others are going through right now. I am so grateful for everything that I have and I hope I can always remember the importance of giving and serving others.

3 Weeks

It's a good thing I only have 3 weeks to go because the only pair of jeans I have that still fit are becoming more snug! Yikes! I am hoping that the rest of OCt. goes by quickly. I have a lot of things I want to accomplish before this baby comes. So I am going to post my to do list to help give me the motivation to get it all done.

To Do
~Clean and organize pantry
~Clean out junk drawer in the kitchen
~Mud room cabinets organized
~Mud room lockers cleaned out
~Go through DJ's clothes (get winter stuff out and put away summer stuff)
~Go through my closet and get rid of things that I haven't worn in ages
~Cars cleaned out

Our basement continues to progress. Our texture is getting finished up today and then our trim will start. That will take about 2 weeks. We are doing some cute/fun trim stuff in the kids rooms that I am excited about. I will post pics later for sure. Our tile for the bath and laundry closet is being layed this week. Then our paint and carpet and we're done. Hopefully the last few weeks of this project go smoothly, I can't wait for it to be done. The thought of my house doubling in size makes me so anxious. I can't wait for the kids to have their own closets. No more sharing. We will have so much more storage space. Most of all, I am excited for a place for my kids and their friends to play when they come over. Yeah!!!!
