30 weeks!

This may be the last picture you see. I'm getting more and more self conscious of taking pictures the bigger I get. Hopefully we only have about 8 weeks left. I know he'll come when he's ready, but I've been letting him know for months now that his mommy would really appreciate him coming at about 38 weeks. I'm already really uncomfortable and despite the exhaustion, I'm having a really hard time sleeping. Well, I get to sleep fine, but if I wake up which is inevitable due to Cason sitting on my bladder, I can not get back to sleep. This is why I am up at 5:30 Monday morning writing this post. Anyways, I go to the dr this week and then I see them every 2 weeks from here on out so hopefully that will make the next 8-10 weeks go by pretty quickly!

It seems like God always provides you with exactly what you need.
Let the tough times bring you together instead of tear you apart.
Sometimes I have to do something for myself to make me the best mom and wife I can be.
There are some things I just can't control and I can't dwell on them.
Money isn't everything and it's not what makes me happy.
To tell my husband how much I appreciate him and praise him for those small things he does.
I love my child more than anything, but I'm not happy being a stay at home mom and I shouldn't feel guilty for wanting to pursue a career that makes me happy.

Hey! I look like you mom!

Hayden today brought me a soccer ball that he was trying to put up his shirt. I guess he wanted to have a preggo belly like me. He then grabbed the camera off the table and brought it to me. He sees daddy taking pictures of my belly and he wanted a belly picture too. Sometimes I'm amazed at this personality Hayden has developed. He's so funny!

Here he is posing for me!



Another story from today. He has this piano and the batteries are dead. So today he had it flipped over and he kept trying to bring me a fork to unscrew the battery thing on the bottom. It was actually quite frustrating because I was trying to explain to him that I could open it with the fork..that I needed a screwdriver and he was just going to have to wait until daddy came home. He finally stopped, but he did not forget about it. Josh came home for lunch today and as soon as he walked in the door he walked over to the piano with the fork and was saying dada. I just can't believe how smart he's gotten! First of all to know that it wasn't working because it needed new batteries and then to know where the batteries go. I don't know where he learns these things from, but it truly amazes me!

27 week belly picture!

Please excuse how rough I look. For some reason, I always looked exhausted in pictures while I'm pregnant. I only have 13 weeks left. I'm secretly hoping maybe it will only be more like 11, since Hayden was 2 weeks early! I'm so tired of being pregnant and I'm ready to meet my other little man!

25 week picture!

Here's the 25 week picture I said I was going to post in one of my recent threads! Josh is making fun of me for how much my belly has grown over the last few weeks. Some days I seriously wake up and think it grew over night!

Twilight Series!

I finally got up to date and started reading these books. I have heard people go on and on about this series and thought to myself there is no way I am going to enjoy a book about a vampire. Well, I went to my parents a couple weeks ago and my brother had the first 2 since he had to read them for school last year. I brought them home with me just thinking I would read them if I got bored and had nothing else to do. Well, I started reading the first one and haven't been able to put them down. I finished New Moon yesterday, so Josh and I went to Barnes and Noble so I could get the third one, Eclipse.

The 4th comes out on August 2nd and I'm so excited!! I'm sure I'll be finished with the 3rd by then. Josh has been calling me a nerd, but I don't care. If you have read these books you probably understand the excitement! So on August 2nd I will be at Barnes and Noble to get Breaking Dawn!

Only 15 more weeks left....

I'm 25 weeks today! I've got 15 more weeks, which seems like such a long time from now. Yesterday, we moved Hayden's crib and dresser into Cason's room and got it all set up. (Hayden has new furniture) I've been going through all of Hayden's clothes to see which one's Cason can wear, so there are piles of clothes all over his room that I have to put away, which I will probably do today. I've got to wash them too, but will probably wait until October or I'll just have to wash them again. I feel like I'm already going through the nesting stage..wanting to get everything done. I'm just so ready for him to be here, but a little nervous as well about having 2 little ones at home.

Anyways, Josh took a new picture. I have finally really popped. Even one of the nurses noticed last week. We had been in there 2 weeks earlier and then had an appointment last Monday. She had made a comment the 1st time of how I looked so small, well last Monday she let me know that I definitely had a belly now. I had gained 3 lbs also in 2 weeks. I asked Josh if he thought Cason had gained 3 lbs?! Haha! He had only gained 1/2 lb. :( The picture is on my other computer so I will post that later.
