It's A Record!

So I put 3 new posts on today so make sure you scroll down to see all the awesomeness. After all, phenomenon's like this don't happen every day!

Valentine's Day Fun

So better late than never... ( Seems like I should have that cross-stitched somewhere, I say it so much!)

Aubrey was very excited about a few Valentine's activities we did this year. She helped pick out a treat for Daddy and got a new pink cup with hearts on it for her. We made heart sugar cookies ( which never made it to the frosting stage by the way) and had a great time getting messy, eating WAY too much raw dough, and pretty much covering the kitchen and ourselves with flour! A good time was had by all...and the cookies were pretty yummy too!

Little Boy Blue

Well we took on the task of painting the office this weekend with "cool sky" for baby boy. It turned out really nice actually, I'm really glad we did it, because it made the room feel a lot larger and more open.

Steve and I had a great time working together, laughing at my 8 month belly trying to fit into my painting clothes, and just enjoying each other's company. The job went by quickly and we've decided after painting our whole house upon moving in last year, we definitely have gotten better at this whole painting business. We used a primer-paint in one paint this time and it actually worked really well and saved us a coat, so that was nice. Thankfully we've gotten better at estimating how much paint we need too... ( anyone need 10 gallons of roasted almond?)

Aubrey and Daddy prepping the room. I put up the blue tape during the day and Aubrey came in and said, " It's bootiful mommy! It's my favorite!"

Being silly...

Me and my girl
She was soooo happy to help. We had a little roller and she was pleased as punch to roll a bit of paint on "all by herself". The trick was getting her to stop...

This picture is posted to show you I'm not vain! Me in all my early morning, pre-shower, paint clothes wearin', pregnancy glory : ) My sweet little Aubrey rolling her roller while I worked the "mommy" roller.

We don't believe in silly child labor laws in this house...

Reaching "high like the sky" as she said.

Proud of a job well done : )

34 Weeks Pregnant

So believe it or not I took a pic this week and got it up in a timely manner! Shocking, isn't it?Yay for me... anyway. We are entering the "red zone" now it feels like. 6 weeks 'til D-day and it's sure coming fast.

We spent the weekend painting our office for our little man. It turned out really good and I'm excited to start putting together the nursery. Ok, maybe excited isn't exactly the word I'm looking for....I'm anxious to have everything in order, but definitely not thrilled about trying to find a place for all the millions of "misc" items that have found a home in our office for the past year and half.

I'm getting TONS of braxton-hicks and let me tell you...they are not painless like all the books say they are. I don't remember having this many with Aubrey, but they say that are more frequent, intense, and noticeable with subsequent pregnancies. Either way, not my favorite. Heartburn had also returned, but hopefully that means the little guy ( according to old wive's tales at least) is growing some curly locks in time for his grand entrance into the world. : )

I was looking at March's calendar and all I have to say is I better end up having him in April ( if I can pencil him in : ), or I'm going to have to hire an assistant to get all the things done!! ( FYI, in one of my many lovely daydreams I pretend I can hire a lovely assistant that runs my errands, does returns, grocery shops, occasionally occupies Aubrey so I can nap, and cooks gourmet meals nightly!) Sigh...if only : )

No, I really do love keeping busy and I love being a momma, but I guess if someone out there is really dying to be my assistant, I definitely be up for giving it a go! : )
