34 weeks.

Well just 38 days or less until Miss Analyn will be here!!! I'm so anxious and so excited to meet her but at the same time trying to not rush things and just enjoy this last month because it may very well be my last pregnancy.

We had another perfect check up this week. The doctor really has to chase her around to get her heartbeat, she may be a tad feisty;)

Her room is coming together still need to do a few things but at least her crib is up and ready!

Hudson is starting to talk more and more about his baby sissy. He was sitting in my lap and I said "ya know momma will have to hold sissy a lot when she gets here" he said "oh momma you no hold her". Ha! So anxious to see how he reacts to her.

33 weeks!

Just six weeks left until we meet our baby girl!!! My Motherinlaw and Sisterinlaw threw us a baby shower yesterday. It was all girl pink pink pink!! Still weird to see all the pink bows frills & tutus right now since I spend my days picking up trains and trucks!

We invited close friends and family. It was so nice to just sit and visit and good food of course:) Analyn got so many cute things!! This girl has a full closet now! I still need to get odds and ends and stock up on diapers. But other than that we may be all ready for her arrival!

Date night.

Brandon's parents asked to keep Hudson for a few hours last night so we decided to run around kid free!! We stopped at sweetbay for hot chocolate & coffee then ran to several stores looking for home decor. Because at 32 weeks pregnant I have decided to redo my entire living room!!!

I'm feeling very crazy at this point simply because I still have to finish Hudson's big boy room and start on Analyn's nursery! Less than 7 weeks!!! That's enough time to redo half my house right?!?

For the living room I am greatly stepping out of my comfort zone. I LOVE all things red but we are doing blues & greens! I sold everything in our living room except a chair & our tables so right now it is very bare! We got a few things accomplished last night: rugs are ordered, two chairs are being made(B had to have a recliner & I hate them so we compromised & got one made that doesn't look like one;)), bought a cute frame for family pics, and my most favorite find these cute pillows that will sit in our two chairs!

31 weeks!

Can't believe I am a little over 31 weeks now! In a way I feel like I have been pregnant forever but at the same time I feel like it has flown by and I have no time left before she arrives!

Cravings: spinach dip & pita chips. This is a new like for me hated spinach dip before!
3 musketeers bars! Horrible I know but I NEED them!;) I love Brandon a little more each time he brings me one home after work:)
Ice water with crushed ice. Pretty sure I consume way over my needed water intake for the day. But still must have a coke here & there!

Weight gain: I haven't really kept track but pretty sure I will end up weighing way more this pregnancy than the last!! I have NO WILLPOWER. Doesn't matter how full I am if something pops in my head I must eat it!

Maternity clothes: I've had a rough time with clothes. Maternity pants won't stay up on me because my waist is still small since she is curled up in a ball in my rib cage! And my regular jeans button but not comfortable. And me & the Bella band are not friends!!! She has failed me every time I've tried to wear it. Once in Walmart! So if you see me in the same pair of jeggings day after day this is why.

MOPS

This past Wednesday Michelle Duggar was our guest speaker at MOPS. I have never watched her show really knew nothing about the lady other than all my friends said she was super mom!

Let me just say I LOVE HER!!! She was such an inspiration on every level! I left there knowing I was going to make some changes! She just radiates Godliness. So thankful to have heard her speak. Now I still don't know how she handles that many kids but she does it with grace!

When I mentioned to our steering team about asking her to speak I just thought people would enjoy her because of the show (she's Arkansas royalty ya know;)). I never imagined she would touch my life in the way she did. She def gained a new fan in me:)

Changes.

We have started the room changing process! We moved Kinley upstairs into what she calls her "teen loft". We had her some cute furniture painted a fun aqua color and some new chevron bedding. Just need some curtains made and maybe something for the walls and its complete! She asked for a mini fridge?! I quickly said NO to that bc I would never see her if she didn't have to come down for food! Lol

Hudson is staying in his same room but we got him new furniture which included a full size bed. He looks so big yet tiny in that big bed! We are doing a train room for him. The transition from crib to big boy bed was great the first couple weeks but this past week has been challenging! He has got up several times in the night wanting me to come in his bed. Once I woke up at 8 in the morning in his bed and don't remember going in there at all!! He got up at 3 am once came to my bed and said "hey momma wanna play choo choo's?" Umm no son I don't!!! Hoping this waking up junk passes quickly because this momma highly values her sleep:)

Analyn's room is next on my to do list. We have the crib and dresser up and that's about it. Gotta get going just a tad over two months left!!:)

Christmas 2012

Can't believe Christmas has already came and gone!! Seems like the holiday season flew by this year.

We had a great time celebrating with our friends and family. Hudson's favorite thing to do was look at Christmas lights. Kinely's is the same as last year snuggled up with hot chocolate watching elf as many times as we will watch it with her. She got a nasty virus her first day out of school! But thankfully she kicked it before all of our get togethers. The kids enjoyed opening their gifts although Hudson still doesn't quite grasp it;) when he got up this morning and saw his train table and said "oh wow a train table still here!" Looking forward to next Christmas when we will have another sweet baby to celebrate with!!!
