24 Hours and 24 Weeks

In 24 short hours

we will walking into the airport

for a much needed vacy

5 whole days with salt water and sand

it makes me teary eyed just thinking about it

that's how excited I am!!

Even more exciting/scary

We are half way there and 24 weeks already!

Our little angel will be here before we know it.

Preparations are coming along

slowly but surely.

I"m hoping this little vacation will help

boost us into the final stretch and get everything done by September!

That's my goal...

have the nursery done and Christmas shopping done!

Not likely the way it looks right now.

Wish me luck!

I guess I should start keep track of the crazy questions.
I promise a bump picture when I return from paradise.

How far along? 24 weeks and 3 days (but who's counting)

Total weight gain/loss: 16 lbs - for the first time ever they moved that notch over to 150...ekkkk

Maternity clothes? Pretty much everything, I'm squeeze myself into a few t-shirts and dresses

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: flipping around a lot but can't complain too much, baby and I are not on the same schedule.

Best moment this week: tomorrow will be the best day of the week, lounging on the island with my Mr.

Have you told family and friends: Yes, everyone knows including strangers

Miss Anything? Having a refreshing cocktail at the beach!

Movement: Yes and I love it!

Food cravings: All carbs, I could live on bread alone.  All dairy.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still having a hard time with meat.

Happy or Moody most of the time: A little of both.  Work has been a little crazy so I'm getting annoyed very easily.

Looking forward to: Relaxing with my Mr. and returning home refreshed to get the final preparations for our little girl.

Checking things off!

It's such a good feeling when you

check something off your list!

We have officially 

booked our 

babymoon/birthday vacay/last 'just us' vacation

before the arrival of our baby girl!

Middle of July

I'm super excited

to spend 5 entire days enjoying 

sun, beach, and a whole lot of relaxation!

Now on to the next task...

Getting back in the groove and joining a fun link up!

So looking forward to a quiet weekend

laying around the pool, reading through magazines, 

and to start planning our little girls room!

4: Non Alcholic Champagne/Wine

I'm shocked at how much I miss it,
I'm not a big drinker but miss my evening glass of wine.

5: Summer Travels

Super pumped to have several upcoming trips in the works!

More to share next week!

It's Official!

We are so thrilled to announce....

The Mr. and I will be welcoming a baby girl this Fall.  

We feel so blessed, god is good!!

May Showers??

 

 

April's showers have not yet brought May flowers?

Instead we have had May showers, storms, and hail?

What is going on with the wacky weather of 2014?

My body, wardrobe, and Hendrix are confused?

In other news I feel like I am getting back on track this week.

For starters I've hired a maid and she starts today!!

(Angels are singing and Hendrix is wagging his tail)

We've been very busy bees in our bungalow lately.

Getting the yard cleaned up and then destroyed again by the storms.

We've been looking for a new car!  Very exciting.

Picking out paint colors for our bedroom

I'm ready for a change

And a great trip to our nations capital last weekend.

Here are some photos of our trip...

Next on the list is planning wedding showers

and our summer trip...

hint, hint

 

I can not wait!

Is it you Spring?

Is Spring really here?  I'm scared to say it out loud.

It was a beautiful spring weekend.   

So nice not having to wear a sweater or jacket all weekend!  

I was a bit under the weather thanks to the seasonal pollen 

but managed to fit in a pretty nice little weekend.

I napped in the sun, did a little cleaning, 

watched some b-ball, did a little more napping, 

and spend a nice Sunday with my little brother.

It was pretty perfect Sunday!  

 Little brother and I had lunch, 

walked around to the farmers market, 

did some shopping, 

and treated him to his very first pedicure.   

I think he enjoyed it too!   

Then we finished it off with dinner with the parents.

Today my Dad and Brother are at the Masters for day 1 of practice rounds.   

I’m so excited for them and they could not have asked for a better day!

Have a great week!

Spring Please!

 

Well it’s been awhile.  Truthfully I haven’t been that busy, just a little lazy.

I am so over this cold, crappy weather.  

 Hopefully today will be the end and springtime will finally appear.

My energy has been a little low lately.   

I hope to get back to blogging, cleaning house, and getting organized for the warmer months to come.

I have lots to share but just have to commit to sharing.  

 So that one day I can look back and remember all we’ve done in our little bungalow.
