Embracing Pregnancy

We are now at week 25, soon to be entering into my 7th month, WOW! I can't believe it. As you can see there is absolutely no doubt that I really do have a little one in there, although these days it isn't looking so little. I am trying to embrace, uhm, accept all of the, shall I say "side effects" of pregnancy including but not limited to lets call it poofiness syndrome? Yeah, I am there. No matter what I do, walk every day, eat nothing but salads for dinner with absolutely no sweets for an entire week, my body continues to swell. But I keep reminding myself, this happens to every woman, right!? Oh yeah, let's not forget perpetual peeing. Yes, you all know what I'm talking about. Every time I get up from a sitting position, all of a sudden there it is. Oh well, just one more reminder that there is something big happening. You like the picture of me and my little buddy. I decided the picture was too cute to not publish even though it took a great amount of courage for me to bare all of my poofiness to the world!




Well Chad and I are enjoying working on the nursery together. My mom said the colors reminded her of teddy bears. So I thought that would be a good theme. It's going to be browns, blues and creams. It will be pretty modern looking, no cartoon animals or things of that nature, more little boy. Stephanie and I had a great time going to Target to register for my upcoming baby showers. Yes, I said baby showers. I am having two. It was so much fun aiming that little scanner gun at all of the things in which will hopefully become mine. It really is amazing to see all of the gadgets and things that we just have to have to keep our little ones happy, entertained, you know. Well, until next time...By the way, if you would like to see an image up close, simply click on the picture for it to become full size.

6 Months And Counting!

I can't believe it's been that long already. I feel so blessed that I have been able to enjoy the process as much as I have. I pray that the rest of the pregnancy goes just as well. As you can see from the pictures we had a fun 4th of July weekend. My mom and I spent Friday at Yellow Bay on Flathead Lake and Chad joined us later that afternoon. It was a perfect day to be on the Lake. It was so relaxing to just lay and soak up the sun.




We joined the rest of the fam at Justin & Stephanie's for fireworks later that evening. Wyatt was absolutely mezmorized by the fireworks. Uncle Chad had a great time with him. Wyatt didn't quite get the concept of the sparkler, he of course thought it was a candle and insisted on trying to blow it out! Tyler is back from school so we are planning on having a great summer this year. Chad and I are taking lots of day trips to the woods/lake since we are unable to camp. We are really trying to take advantage of the time we have on the weekends to enjoy the nice weather. Well, enjoy the pics and I hope to hear from you all soon.
