A very special day! It's a.....???

Today was the day! It was the day to get our gender ultrasound. I remember at my last appointment making this appointment and thinking it was SO far away. And now, before I knew it, it was here. For weeks prior I had been having dreams about this ultrasound and also seeing our baby. I was SO anxious to know what it was! I was starting to stress because we haven't bought anything and I am a planner so I hate procrastinating with big exciting stuff like this. I wanted to seriously start thinking of names and just everything that goes with that specific gender.

Last night and today I had a ton of emotions. I was mainly just SO so so excited to know what this baby was. I wanted to know if I was gonna have a boy, hopefully a mama's boy, a gentleman one day, a sweet caring boy that was strong, a boy that loved to rough house with his dad and play with cars, trucks, and in the dirt, a dad one day too. Or a girl, hopefully a daddy's girl, a sweet, but sassy little thing, someone that will love playing with her dolls and playing dress up, someone I'm gonna have to share my bathroom with later in life, a girl to hopefully some day become a mom of her own. All these things were running through my head of what Caleb and I will be raising.

Going through infertility and always thinking of future life things, I ALWAYS pictured us with a girl. I always wanted a girl. I truly didn't care what the the gender was as I am just so blessed and grateful to be here in these shoes today, but deep down, I have ALWAYS wanted a little girl. It's not my fault that they make way cute girl stuff and need to expand the boy clothes department. haha! So in the past, me and Caleb talked about how we wanted to go about this day. Did we want the tech to just tell us? Do a huge gender reveal party? Do something between just us? I honestly didn't care how we were told. Caleb voted we had the tech put a card of whatever the gender was in an envelope and then have us two open it together. Just us, so we could soak in the moment and just have it be special. And that's what we did. I liked the idea.

Last night I was looking on pinterest and saw all these cute ways to make a cute envelope and have it look all crafty and cute. The craftyness in me wanted it to be that way, but after like 4 failed attempts at making a stupid envelope, I found one I had in my drawer and just printed out the boy or girl page and glued it on pink and blue paper. I didn't love at all how it looked but decided it was late, and really, the stinkin envelope didn't matter.

I couldn't sleep at all last night. I was up pretty much every hour tossing and turning. I tell you, this was worse than me as a kid on Christmas eve. I was just SO excited and couldn't contain myself! After a restless night, I finally woke up this morning. I took my time getting ready and kinda just hung around the house. I was kinda emotional too! I was weepy just thinking about how special this day was going to be. I never thought I would get to ever have this moment, so I wanted to soak in every moment and love it all! It was finally time to go to the doctors appointment. The drive down was great as usual. Me and Caleb always have fun on car rides. Long or short. We made it to our 2:15 appointment on the dot. We got called back pretty quick. Weight and blood pressure was checked. Still no weight gain. I was down I think like 3 pounds and I'm back up 1. So still 2 pounds under my pre pregnancy weight. After that, we got called back to the ultrasound room. Eeeek! We went in and I gave the tech my silly envelope and told her we wanted it to be a surprise and to not tell us/show us what it was. They put the jelly stuff on my belly and bam, there was the baby! Oh my gosh. I was just smiling ear to ear in awe. It was amazing how much it had grown in 10 short weeks. It was amazing! She showed us a little bit of everything. It was even sucking it's cute little hand for a bit. I could have watched it all day long! These pictures are some that didn't get printed. 

Looking right at us

Side shot.

I'm honestly not sure what this one is. I'm thinking head with legs scrunched up.

Arms on the top and belly

I THINK this one is the feet crossed. Not sure.

and a cute little profile shot. 

The little stinker was being SO camera shy! It's feet were crossed and was sitting right on them so the tech seriously could not get a good view. The whole time I was thinking that this would happen to me. I paid 25 dollars to get this scan and now we can't even tell. haha I was gonna be SO dissapointed if she couldn't tell. The tech was jiggling the machine thing on my belly a lot trying to get it to spread it's legs. And nothing. haha A lady came in the room and said her next appointment was there. So I kinda thought that I would have to wait. The tech said she was going to get the other ultrasound tech while she went and did her other appointment really quick. So two other lady's came in and were trying to get different angles to have this baby spread it's legs. I even drank a little caffeine to maybe help get this baby moving a bit more before I came to my appointment. The tech said she was going to maybe have me get up and walk around for a bit to see if it'd move. After 40 min, baby finally cooperated and spread eagle for the techs. I was just laying there with my head turned and Caleb's head turned for a long time! haha. Oh man. They printed off some pictures, and put the gender card in my envelope along with the gender scan pictures. Whew! I was actually nervous! Took 3 techs and a long time for this baby to move it's legs! haha after that, we met with my doctor and talked for like 2 min. He checked the heartbeat which was I think he said 161. So higher than last time. Good strong heartbeat! Everything looked great and we scheduled our next appointment which is the big hour long anatomy scan. I'm excited to see that one too! We hopped in the car and decided we'd go get food, then go home to open the envelope. We ended up going to Chili's for an early dinner. 

He was playing with the new tablets that they got. I didn't get any other pictures of us at dinner though :( Must say though, him in that shirt is lookin fine! ;)

After dinner we came home so we could open this envelope! I had waited SO long for this moment! We sat on the couch, and I opened the envelope. I was nervous! Most everyone has said they think it's a girl. Both me and Caleb felt from day one it was a girl. Only the last week have I seriously not really felt like it was a girl. I was wishy washy on both! So I seriously did not know. Caleb at the last second said, "I think it's a boy!" haha WHAT!? for weeks you've been saying girl. I opened the envelope and then basically on the count of three turned over the card. 

It's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!! I nearly bawled. I knew it! I SO knew it! I was SO so freaking happy. Caleb was so excited too. He didn't care what it was. All my dreams are coming true! The tech put in 3 pictures of the sex. Looks like a girl to me! But, I honestly can't tell on those things. I usually can tell if it's a boy and I don't see boy stuff so I'd say it's a girl! haha 

Everyone had been texting me telling them to let them know the second I did. After me and Caleb had our special moment. I sent the picture of us holding the "its a girl!" card out to all our family. I then posted it on Instagram and Facebook. It's been so fun having people be just as involved or excited as we are. My MIL is very happy it's a girl. She has almost 11 grandson's and only 2 granddaughter's and those two live clear across the states over by D.C. So I am happy that she will have a little girl that lives here to spoil. We could not be more thrilled, more excited, and grateful that this baby GIRL of ours is healthy and ours! I've just been feeling awesome all day. Might possibly be one of the greatest days ever. I'm tickled and just giddy about it all! 

7 Weeks 6 days on the first strip of pictures. Today, 17 weeks 5 days on the middle strip of pictures, and then the gender pictures on the right. All proudly hanging on my fridge. We're having a girl! Bring on the bows, tutu's. dress up, dolls, and all girl things. We cannot wait! I'm ready to go shopping! ;)

17 Weeks, Tucker, Date Night

I am 17 weeks today! Baby is about 5 inches long and about the size of an onion. I can definitely tell that it's getting bigger. I obviously am getting this big belly, plus I can just feel it on the inside. I can't sit up as quickly, or move certain ways without it being almost tender feeling. So, growing baby is a good thing. I still feel overall better than I did. I still have days, and moments where I just do not feel well. I know if I overdo it, (like I did today), it is worse. So I try to be as low key as possible and just not have a lot on my plate. I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable. I am a HUGE belly sleeper so as I'm stirring in the night I usually end up waking up because It's just too uncomfortable to lay directly on my stomach. :( Makes me sad. Speaking of sleep, I still sleep LONG hours at night. I sometimes don't sleep great throughout the night but you can count on me sleeping for anywhere between 11-14 hours a night. Kinda embarrassing. My hips are getting sore. Sometimes feels like they're just stretching and other days its like they're sore from being worked out. Which, lets be real, I haven't worked out. Lazy pants, I know. Sciatic nerve pain....may be the death of me. SO uncomfortable and super painful at times. My back hurts. Some days more than others. Today, I noticed more than other days like stretching pains in my belly. Nothing horrible yet, but I would get kind of a sharp pain randomly and I think it's round ligament pain? Overall, I'm still feeling pretty good, but now definitely starting to notice the growing belly along with stretching pains all over. I sound like a complainer every post. That's not my intentions. I just want to write everything down so I can look back on it all and compare someday. I am feeling this baby move a lot more! It has been so far the best thing yet. It's stronger than little flutters or bubbles, it's like actual movement and I soooommetimes will get a strongish kick or jab or something. It's super exciting. I can't wait till Caleb can feel it from the outside. That is if he will, he get's kinda weirded out by that so we will see. Foods are still the same. I still can't stomach certain things and it depends on the day. I still have been eating 1-2 bowls of cereal daily. Pepsi for some reason has tasted SUPER great. I never really cared for pepsi before so that's weird. I rarely drink pop anymore let alone caffeine, so I don't drink them often. Usually only if I have a headache or something. Which I had a headache for 5 days in a row this last week. They seem to have lightened up some thank goodness. And, I'm not entirely sure since we don't own a scale, but I think I am still down weight if not still losing. My face to me seems a little slimmer. Who knows, Maybe I've gained all this weight and have no idea. I will know Monday because that is the day we find out if this baby is a HE or a SHE! Eeeek! I can't wait!! I am SO ready to start buying things and just to start planning on whether we will have a daughter, or a son. Either one, I can't wait. 5 days! Anyways, that's it for this week's baby update. Here's a belly shot.

So this last week we got some bad news about my parent's dog. Long story short, my younger sister paid with her money two corgi puppies so she could breed them and sell the puppies. Well, as my brother was leaving for work he accidentally ran over Tucker. He ended up having to put him down because both my parents were gone and then he had to head straight for work. It was tragic and heartbreaking. I feel bad for obviously Tucker now no longer being here, but I feel especially bad for my sister and her losing her pet, for my brother and how bad he felt, and for Kristie's other dog Karli. She's lonely and confused. It was a complete accident. So, just sad, and not fun. If any of you know us knows just how many dogs we have lost. We literally end up losing a dog about every year due to all sorts of accidents. Most from getting run over, but some freak accidents that you don't even hear of, like a beaver trap killed our dog last year, years ago we had a dog die because it got into mouse poison in my dad's shop, just crazy things. So as my family was talking about how sad it was to have Tucker gone, I just said, I know it's sad for us, but I guarantee he is up in heaven playing with, (ehem..ready for this?) Maggie, Sadie, Lexie, Maddie, Mugsy, Chloe, Kelsey, Sebastian, another dog we had I can't even remember the name, and our bunnies Cocoa, and Petey, another bunny I can't remember the name of, and alll the countless stray cats that ended up being more like pets. I'm sure there are more dogs than that but that's off the top of my head. It's awful how many end up dieing. So, I think the plan is, that Kristie still wants to breed her corgi. So if anyone hears of a male purebread corgi for sale, let me know. RIP Tucker. You were obnoxious, yet so so cute. 

And lastly, me and Caleb got to go on a date last Saturday. It's been a LONG time since we've been dressed up and out for an actual date. I was feeling decent enough to go so we were outta here. We ended up going to see the new Jurassic World movie and then went to dinner. The movie theater was PACKED. Me and Caleb both had to sit by people. :( I'm pretty sure every seat was full. Even the awful seats clear in the front. I guess that's what we get for going on a Saturday afternoon to a movie that came out like the week before. We both liked the movie though! After the movie we went to Johnny Carinos. We both were kinda disappointed. Not really worth the money. I had only been there a couple times before and I remember it tasting better. Who knows. It was still GREAT to get out with Caleb and just be with each other. Love that boy.

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy father's day to all the amazing dads out there!

Happy father's day to my dad. He has been such a great example to me and has raised me to be the woman I am today. I am grateful for him, his love, his support, and his sense of humor. Love you dad!

Happy father's day to Caleb's dad. I don't have a picture of him but Caleb wouldn't be who he is if it weren't for his dad. I too appreciate him raising such a great son!

And lastly, happy father's day to my husband. This year is the first I am truly excited for father's day and allowing my Heavenly Father to bless us with this baby so that I can be a mom and Caleb can be a dad.

He's been an amazing papa to our pup Libbie and he loves her like she is a child.

The day we found out Caleb was going to be a dad I will remember forever and I cannot wait to see Caleb hold our baby. I know he will make one great dad and will be a total hoot to raise kids with. 

I'm grateful for these wonderful men in my life. 

16 Weeks!

I am 16 weeks today! It's going by way fast to be honest. This last week has overall been good! I am starting to feel much more human. I haven't thrown up in a week so I'd say that is good! I still have to be careful and not overdo it or else I will start feeling run down. But, I'm at least not laying in bed day after day just feeling yucky. So, I am grateful! Baby is about 4.5 inches long and about as big as an avocado. Yesterday I was starting to get nervous  because I hadn't felt much flutters for the past couple days. But as I was at my parents house just laying on the couch I got my first strongish kick or something from baby. It was reassuring and super exciting. I haven't felt anymore strong kicks since but still just soft little flutters. I know it's still early but I am looking forward to some more distinct kicks and jabs. I was at my sisters house and weighed myself and I apparently lost another pound. Which is weird because this belly is getting bigger and bigger. So since January I've lost 9 pounds and since being pregnant I've lost about 5. I guess you could just blame being sick? Idk. Hopefully it's fine and baby is still able to be healthy. Other than that, here's a belly bump picture.

Just a little nervous with how big this belly is gonna get where it's this big at 16 weeks :/ Kinda hard to not compare to other prego's that's had smaller bumps unless their on their like 5th kid. 

Caleb has been working hard. He comes home from work to usually do more work of some kind. I feel bad that I'm not much help.:/

While he mows the lawn me and Libbie usually end up on the swing and enjoy the weather. It's weird looking down and seeing a more round plump belly. Ha

I started packing up some of our stuff the other day so our living room is a total mess. It's full of boxes, boxed up boxes, and is just a huge mess. No way to even make it look good. Part of the whole moving process I suppose. It's going to be a huge project.

And lastly,

Awkward, ugly selfie, but, my hair guys. UGH!!!! Why did I even attempt to go dark the last day of working!? I have had some hair drama for the last month and seriously not loving my hair at all. I put some blonde in the front to see if that would spunk it up a little more to my liking. I've colored it 4 times in the last month and I am to the point where I am seconds away of starting over with a pixie cut and PRAYING I can cut it myself. I cut my sisters hair the other day and it's so freaking cute and it makes me want to chop mine into a cute cut again. Plus I'd be able to go back to blonde because I would already be cutting off the friedness on the ends. I don't know. What do you think? Should I chop it? Keep it growing? It's so hot that I wear it up most days, plus I keep trying to curl it to see if I'll like it and I just don't! I like long hair curled but for some reason I just don't like it on me. So, any suggestions I would seriously love. Caleb just says, "do what you want, but I like it short" and really isn't much help. So, ladies, help! 

15 weeks and update!

Sorry that every post is a pregnancy update, but for myself, I totally want to keep this journey on record somewhere, so get used to a weekly pregnancy update! haha I am 15 weeks pregnancy today! Baby is about 4 inches long already and about the size of an apple! Just when I think I'm doing better I have a bad day with throwing up. Like today. I woke up at 5:30 this morning not feeling great and ended up getting up to throw up this morning. I THINK that today was my fault though. Since I had been feeling ok for the last few days I wanted to see how I would do with not taking my b6/unisom combo the night before and I honestly didn't think I would feel any different because I had felt so sick with throwing up in past weeks while taking that combo. But, I guess maybe it has helped me more than I realize. I don't know. So, tonight I will be taking those pills again and pray tomorrow is a better day with being able to get food down (having it taste good would be a bonus) and have it stay down. Other than today I really have felt decent the last couple days. Still not great, but so much better than I have. So when I woke up puking this morning I got bummed and worried because SOOO many people have said, "if you can get past 12-14 weeks I promise you'll feel SO much better!" yeaaahh right. 15 weeks and still puking! I still have hope it will ease some though. I'm praying anyways. My belly is definitely starting to become more belly. Family and people are starting to comment on it and of course my mom rubs my tummy every time I see her. I know people hate when people touch their bellies but I like it! Maybe I'm weird. But it's not squishy like it used to be and it feels more firm like an actual baby belly so I have nothing to hide. haha! I have mentioned in previous posts how I have had awful food aversions. It is slowly getting better and I am able to eat more and have it taste a little better going down, but I still have NO crazy cravings. Something a little frustrating is, before being pregnant, my favorite foods were mac and cheese, little caesers pizza, and for a snack, toast. I used to always say that I wish I didn't like such horrible for you foods but couldn't help what I liked and used to eat toast daily, pizza about once a week, and mac and cheese about once a week. Well, I still eat mac and cheese. Some days it tastes ok, others, it's hard to get even a quarter of it down. :( Toast, I CANNOT eat anymore. It tastes awful! Every time I make it thinking maybe it will start to taste good again, I take a bite and throw the rest away and barely can swallow the bite I have in my mouth. :( And pizza, same thing. I think I've had it three times since being pregnant, and all three times I barely ate a slice and just cannot eat it anymore. Same with their bread sticks they come with. :( Isn't that sad!? ugh. I hope to at least like pizza again because c'mon, parties and what not always include pizza and that would be sad, but probably a whole lot healthier for me If I never eat it again. And another thing, I used to like fruit before, but I hardly ate it. It kind of upset my belly a lot before. But now, I'm pretty sure I've eaten more fruit since being pregnant than I have in my whole life. Especially strawberries and grapes. mmm mmm yes. So, it is honestly bizarre that certain foods you used to love you now hate and some foods you didn't care for you now love. Super odd. Pregnancy does crazy things to your body! As for other baby news, I am feeling more flutters and more often. And I notice them while standing and doing my own thing sometimes. It's still subtle but It's awesome feeling it move. We get to find out the sex in just two and a half weeks and I CANNOT wait. I was talking to Caleb and we aren't really the types of families to have this big ol' gender reveal party so I figured if we do something to just keep it simple. Well, as I was thinking about it, the 4th of July is just 5 days after our ultrasound to find out. 4th of July is the day me and Caleb officially got engaged so I thought it would be fun to incorporate the gender reveal somehow on that day with or without family. So, ugh, If we can wait 5 more days, I think what we are going to do if it works out is buy both a pink and blue smoke bomb. Let the ultrasound lady wrap whatever gender our baby is of the smoke bomb in black paper, and then on the 4th light that and have that be our reveal. I don't know. Parts of me thinks it would be fun to make finding the gender out fun, and parts of me honestly doesn't care if we just have the ultrasound tech just tell us. I guess we will see and we still have a couple weeks to decide. If any of you have fun ideas for the 4th, let me know. I'm open to any and all suggestions! 

As for other updates. Caleb is still working away. Bless his heart, he works all day, then comes home and does more work or mows the lawn or something. So grateful for him! I know how hard it is to put in long days of work and he does it every day and never complains. He's amazing!

Libbie is still just Libbie.

A full out glare because I wouldn't share my dinner. haha!

And Caleb had just gotten home from work and was completely out yet someone else though it was time to play. haha! She kills me. It's so obnoxious at the time but actually hilarious looking back.

Me? Other than just baking this baby, I have LOVED not having to work. I miss doing hair, but oh my goodness. I still am having a hard time with not feeling guilty while Caleb goes to work all day, but it has been SO much better being able to be sick and take care of myself and not have to worry about how i'm going to get through the next 9 hours standing on my feet all day. Bless those women's hearts that puke all while at work and just do what they have to do. I am VERY grateful and very blessed that Caleb works hard and can provide so I can stay home. I have worked for the past 9 years with really no breaks. And 6+ of those years I was also attending high school/hair school/dental assisting school. So, It's a little weird for me to not be working, but I have seriously enjoyed NOT. haha. I went and picked up my nephew and tiny little niece yesterday so that their mama could have a little break and do whatever she needed to do. We ended up coming back to my parent's house and had my sister and her little boy there too. It was such a nice day! I felt overall good, the weather was beautiful, the kids were enjoyable, and it was just a good day. We ended up flooding our lawn so we could play in the water with the nephews.

The kids loved it and so did we! And yes we have matching swimming suits and bad tan lines. It's cool!

I can't wait to have my own kids to do stuff like this with. Until then, I'm grateful for nephews to do it with. :) 

Caleb brought home a huge stack of boxes!

This picture doesn't do it justice and i'm sure we'll still need tons more. Now during my good feeling days, I can start boxing up our apartment. We still haven't found a house but I know we will have to move either way so I might as well get going while i'm not hugely pregnant and can do it stress free and on my own time. Moving is going to be a chore and I'm really not going to be much help when it comes to lifting and moving all these heavy boxes. :/ But, I CANNOT WAIT till we have our own place. 

After begging Caleb and complaining about being hot in our house he finally put in our window ac unit thing. I am in heaven! Caleb always says it's freezing and acts like it's -30 in our house while I'm laying in front of it feeling perfectly content. More pregnancy symptoms? haha I don't know. But it has cooled our basement down tremendously and it's been nice because it helped get rid of the musty smell our place had from that flood because there was no way of pushing any air through the place. So, our place smells a lot better, feels better, and I am much happier not having it be almost 80 in the house. 

Other than that, life if good! Even being sick, life is still going good. I love Caleb, our marriage rocks, we have a child on the way, we are house hunting, we are happy, and life is just going pretty good. I am grateful! 

14 Weeks!

Today marks 14 weeks pregnant! What!?! It's starting to go by faster and faster as time goes on!

I am officially in my second trimester which is super exciting. I actually think you technically hit 2nd trimester at 13.3 weeks. But, i'm not all that sure. And yes, baby is about the size of a lemon and 3.5 inches long. I have still been feeling...blah. Which is kind of disappointing because so many people told me i'd be feeling SO much better by now. I still have some rough times including throwing up. And seriously, that to me is so frustrating and exhausting. Throwing up makes my body ache and it's super frustrating when I put forth a lot of effort to get anything in me and then moments later it just all comes back up. And after I throw up, i'm really not in the mood to eat anything so I just have that empty awful feeling in my stomach. So that is definitely hard. Although I must say, over all, I THINK, and I don't want to jinx myself by saying this, but I THINK the sickness is easing up some especially throughout the day. I'm still nauseous every day and nights are still rough, but I think the days are getting a little better. I sure hope so. It's been a long almost 2 months of sickness. But on the plus side, I was up in the middle of the night last Sunday and as I was laying there I felt something I had never felt before! It startled me and felt kind of like carbonated bubbles popping or something. I wasn't sure if I had just felt the baby or not, but then about a minute later, I felt it again. It was in the same spot and I knew it wasn't a gas bubble or something. I knew for sure that it was the baby! Eeek! It was so cool! And ever since, usually only a couple times a day, and usually when I'm laying flat on my back, I will notice little flutters. I thought I was crazy because I had only heard of a few cases where people felt it so early and most people would say they didn't feel anything till at least 16 weeks. So feeling something at 13.4 weeks was super cool! The other night I was home alone and just laying on the couch, and I could feel flutters. I would poke my belly kinda where it was and I would feel more flutters. I honestly came to tears because it makes all this sickness/ pukeyness/ awful feeling a lot more worth it. I know I've said this before but I seriously thought I would NEVER get this opportunity so I am trying to cherish and soak up every moment that I can. I definitely won't miss being sick, but the flutters and whats to come is definitely something I will want to remember forever. Anyway, other than still being sick, and feeling flutters, I have had some AWFUL sciatic nerve pain. The last 3 days especially it's been in my right hip/butt and it's been very painful at times. It wakes me from my sleep and sometimes it's pinched just right to where I look ridiculous when I walk. I'm hoping that one leaves cause man, that hurts. Along with sciatica is some back pain. The usual. Also quite painful at times. It helps if I can move around like go on a walk or something to help loosen it up. No weight gain! In fact, my parent's scale says I've lost 7 pounds. The doctors scale says I have lost a couple pounds. Being sick hasn't helped and I'm honestly not too worried about it. The doctor said hopefully I can gain a little with this trimester. So, we shall see how that goes. I am still quite tired! And it seriously does not take much for me to feel completely wiped out. I hope I get no judgement here but I usually go to sleep by at least 10 and don't wake up till around 9 or 10 the next morning. Then I eat my breakfast in bed and lay there for another hour or two. I know. Talk about lazy. But, I am just tired! And I notice I am less sick when I get PLENTY of sleep and when I take my mornings way way slow. Other than that, I can feel a heavy feeling in my belly and there is for sure a little bump showing. I decided that I probably can't wear leggings and Caleb's shirts to things I actually need to dress up a little more for so I finally had a day I felt decent, met up with my sister, and went out to buy some maternity clothes and some new bras!! I cannot tell you how happy I am for those. haha And it was a successful trip. I bought a pair of capri's for summer, a pair of jeans, and then just some t shirts that actually fit and aren't so tight and uncomfortable. I'm sure I will pick up more shirts later especially when it gets colder but for now, this will at least get me started. 

Oh, and last thing,  first, something kind of funny, for memorial day weekend, my family had a weenie roast. Prior to that, the only thing that sounded good was hot dogs or potato soup in a bread bowl. Well, since that weenie roast I have had a hot dog every day since. Awful and kinda sick really, but, it has been probably one of the best things I've tasted since pregnant. And second, Caleb knew I had wanted potato soup in a bread bowl, and last time I made it, it turned out AWFUL so I didn't eat it. Last week he came home from work with potato soup that they get through his work. A WHOLE bag FULL. All I had to do was put it in the crockpot and add water. I bought rolls that would work for bread bowls, made the soup, and oh my goodness. I have had that every day since I made it too. Thanks for saving me dear! You da bomb!

And yes, more fruit. That hasn't left. Can't get enough fruit!

As for other news, my mom invited me to go see Cinderella with her yesterday. It was a lot of fun! Just the two of us. And we enjoyed the movie, so that's always a plus. ;) I was out at my parents and all my family was out. 

I stinkin love my nephews. So cute. We were blowing bubbles and playing with sidewalk chalk. I love being with my family. I love the yard and being with people that make me happy. It helps being in the country too. Can't get enough of it!
