Who Knew

Who knew that growing a human being really is exhausting. I honestly do not think I have ever been so tired in my life - it seems the more I do, the slower I get. 11 weeks tops left till we get to meet our daughter, I am so excited! But in the meantime, honey,if you are reading this, I really am tired, not dramatic.

Have a wonderful weekend to everyone and if you are heading out to Mardi Gras, smoke some ciggies and have plenty of drinks in my honor - I love this weekend, how life is quickly changing.

For My Little Cowgirl - Yeehaw!

So ever since I stumbled upon these little socks last Spring, I have been just dying to buy them, they make them for boys too (cowboy boot) - of course they are always the first things to pop into my head when I think baby gift, but for some reason had never pulled the trigger - until now. Oh, and yes, they are a baby gift for my little girlie, is that wrong? Nah.

Anyway, I think they are a great start to the little cowgirl boots she is sure to have to stomp around the house in during her younger years - I have always imagined my kids running around in undies, cowboy boots and capes, screaming at the top of their lungs, just having the most fun in the world. So of course, this is step one - only I doubt she will be screaming with joy but really just to get the boob. Oh I just can't wait!

We had our 30 week check up two days ago and all went so well! As we waited to be called back, she was just kicking away, so much so that it caught Hicks' eye, so he proceeded to poke my belly and of course, she would kick back, right in the same spot. I can just hear it now, "Dad, get out of my room, you're not funny!" Anyway, it is really neat to not only feel her move and groove, but to see her little (probably not so little) personality develop. It is truly the most amazing experience having a little one growing inside your belly. Of course I do have my 'oh shit, what did we get ourselves into' moments, but those quickly pass as I look forward to all that is ahead of us.

Anywho, just wanted to share the cutie batootie sockies that she will be sporting for the next year, now all we need is a saddle for Cash - LOL!

New Leaf - Restart button

So today I have decided to hit my 'restart' button. I've been bored, almost lost for too long and as I approach my one year anniversary of being laid off, I find is time to do something more consistent and productive. Yes, according to my husband there are several things that I can be doing everyday, but for me, I don't always feel that way or at least I am just not in the mood. So I want to re-invite you to my blog, I promise to keep updates regularly and hopefully entertain you at the same time. With new baby on the way I am sure there will be plenty of stories, there already have been, but I want to share with you. So I am going to give myself a big welcome back pat on the back and cross my fingers this all works out. Little bits is kicking away inside my belly right now with total excitement over the idea - she is an active one, which really comes to no surprise.

I cannot wait to let you all back into our lives, with new baby, our crazy 110lb lap dog and all the other wonderful things we have been blessed with in our lives, the good, the bad & well the ugly - censored of course - no birth pictures here!

Hope you have a wonderful Monday and well - I will post soon, for now I am off to save our windows and what is left of our blinds from our dog trying to attack the mail man - life is good.
