B.O.B.'s Room!!!!

We did it! Only 7 1/2 weeks until we're due, but we finally painted B.O.B.'s room. Jay, Tara, Scotty, and I spent the afternoon working on the room. The majority of the painting is done. We LOVE the primary colors. We still have some touch ups to do and we want to add some critters (ladybugs, frogs, turtles, dragonflys, etc.), but the big stuff is done. It didn't take near as long as I thought it was going to. The furniture is going back in the room tonight and we'll move it again later if we need too!!! The roof of the barn is white right now, but we are going to paint that little area black and add some half shutter type coverings over the lower half of the windows and put valances on the top!

Lisa and Dylan!!

Lisa and Dylan came over tonight and we exchanged Christmas gifts. Here are some pics of Dylan opening his.

After presents, we made some extra chocolatey hot chocolate and snuggled in to watch some t.v. Here's a cute pic of Lisa and Dylan.

Merry Christmas!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful week. My mom and Larry came into town last Sat. Monday, we exchanged gifts among the five of us and had our Christmas dinner. After that, we went to John and Sharon's to celebrate Christmas with John's side of the family. We all made out like bandits, even B.O.B. My mom and Larry headed to Michigan for my great aunt's funeral. They came back on Thurs. and headed back to Arkansas on Fri. Yesterday, we went to Eureka and celebrated Christmas with my Dad and Pennye. It was another wonderful Christmas dinner and gift exchange. I have had a good week!!! Here are a couple of pictures of Scotty and me after church today. The one with Milo is kind of blurry and we tried,
but couldn't get him to look at the camera.
Oh well.

Crazy week!!!

This has been a whirlwind of a week for me. On Wed., my grandfather passed away in Michigan. He would have turned 95 this Feb. My dad, step-mom, Jay and Stevie went to Michigan for the funeral services. I stayed home because my tailbone has been bothering me and I wasn't sure I could handle the 8 1/2hr car ride (1 way). Then today, my mom and Larry headed up to celebrate Christmas and my mother got the phone call this am that her Aunt had passed away this morning. My mom and Larry are headed to Michigan on Tues. to be there for the services for her Aunt on Wed. Hopefully things will be brightening up for the holidays.

Tonight, we went to dinner with Tara and her brother Reese. We came back to the house and exchanged gifts amongst us, missing Jay of course. He said he wanted us to do it tonight though because Tara has to work for the next 3 nights and my mom won't get to see her this trip otherwise. Here is the most recent prego belly shot of ME though. I had mom take it tonight in front of our Christmas tree!!

Busy Weekend!!

Saturday was a busy day at our house. Scotty, Brian, John and Jay put together all of B.O.B.'s furniture. It looks really good. The room (walls) is still bare. Scotty and I are debating over the walls and what exactly we are going to do. The painting will probably happen in Jan. Scotty was going to put up some lights around the roof of the house, but the weather spoiled that. He then had to go to work for a little while. I don't have any pictures to show yet of the furniture, but I will put some up this week. Sat. I spent the whole day baking cookies. Yummy!!!!!

Thanksgiving!!! And much more!!

After going to my dad's on Thanksgiving Day, I had to work 12 hours, but Fri. morning we headed down to Arkansas to spend the weekend with my mom and Larry. Fri. night, Jodie and her daughter, Kailyn, came over to hang out and then my bud Desiree stopped by to say hi!! Here are some pics of us girls. Oh, by the way, I'm the prego one in the middle!! Ha-ha!!

Last Wed., I had 2 teeth pulled on the right side of my mouth. So, I've kind of had a rough week. I am hoping that I am finally on the road to recovery. I had a lot more pain than I thought I would. It has hurt more than when I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth surgically removed!!!

This weekend, we had dinner with Jay, Tara, and her brother, Reese. We went to the Outback because B.O.B. and I were craving a baked sweet potato. It was fabulous!!!

Scotty and I then went Christmas shopping. We actually got a lot accomplished this weekend. Today, the tree went up. I even wrapped some of the many presents we bought in the last 2 days. Here is an updated pic of me and B.O.B. though. I am 27 weeks and 3 days here. I can really feel a lot of movement. B.O.B. did not enjoy it went I had my teeth pulled. I could feel he/she squirming all over the place trying to figure out what all the stress was about. We are doing pretty good though. I saw the Doc. on Sat. morning to take my glucose test (results still pending). I actually lost 2 lbs in the last 3 weeks, so the Doc actually told me to EAT MORE!! He told me that he doesn't get to say that too often. Oh well. I'm trying!!

Belly Shot!!

OK everyone. Here is a belly shot of me & B.O.B. from Sat. Nov 17th. There is actually a baby in there I promise. I feel lots of kicks and movement through out the day. I am actually 25 weeks and 3 days here. I will take more pictures and post them as things continue to progress!
