Drake's Head-bob

So there is no audio, but if you watch for a few seconds you will be able to see Drake bobbing his head. He is so cute.

Milestones

Drake is 7 months.

Drake is now flow-blown crawling...no more of that tummy scoot thing. He has gotten really fast.

He can catch the cat, which is not a good thing. The cat doesn't love that he pulls her tail, he has gotten a scratch or two, ouch.

He is doing a head bob thing, I'm not sure what else to call it. He moves his head side to side...so darling. I am trying to get a video because I can't describe it.

He successfully can pull himself up, and stay standing. He has even gotten brave enough to move from furniture to furniture. It wont be long before he is walking. But first he has to master walking on his feet, not his toes. He is still really wobbly.

I love my little baby, but he is turning into a toddler before my eyes. I am not sure how I feel about that.

5th Month

Done with the 4th MONTH! Wow this is moving quickly. I am already 18 weeks.

I had a midwife apt on the 15th, we set up a full ultrasound for the 12th of august. That will be a nice birthday present for Oakley, lol, jk ;D It took us about five minutes to find the heartbeat, that scared me, but the baby is lower than she thought so we were lookin in the wrong place. The heartbeat was strong and in the high 150 range.

She was a little worried because I have actually lost weight, but she is glad it isn't because I am sick, it is because I am trying to eat healthy.

The baby has started moving enough to where I can feel the wiggles and kicks. Kade was actually able to feel the baby move a couple of weeks ago. I had a hard time knowing what it was with Drake started moving. I don't think I identified the feeling until I was past 20 weeks. This time around I felt the baby really early, like 11 or 12 weeks. Once you know the feeling, it is hard to forget.

Progress

When we purchased our home, it was a beauty...okay, maybe not. I stumbled upon pictures that the relaters took of the house before we purchased it. I never remembered to take pictures before we started remolding.

Sometimes I look at my house and get frustrated or discouraged because I feel like we haven't made much progress lately. When I visit people with nice houses I am always jealous. I know that we could have purchased a nice house, but we wouldn't have gotten the sq footage that we have. The only thing I was bummed about was we didn't get a chance to work on the house before we moved in, not our fault, therefor progress is slower and I live in a construction zone.

I am grateful to have a roof over my head. And I am happy that we own our home and can make it as beautiful as we wish.

Anyway, when I stumbled upon these pictures, I realized we have made a lot more progress than I thought. So, thank you everyone for your love and help. Kade, thanks so much for constantly working on stuff for me. Now I am hoping for paint before the next baby arrives... ;D

YEP same room, a little different angel. WOW, can you say difference. The once dreary room is now brighter, and looks cleaner. I love how different it is.

First Date

I probably posted something similar to this last year, oh well. Two years ago today, I went on a first date with my wonderful husband. It was an eventful day. I had a blast. We got together around 10AM, I was late. We ended up going four-wheeling and later that night watching a movie. We even ate dinner with Kade's parents. I think I got back home around midnight. I remember not wanting to ever go on another date, because I didn't want to waist my time on a guy who wasn't interested in me. Turns out he was interested in me, he just hadn't gotten over the awkward returned missionary phase. I love you honey, thanks so much for having the guts to text me and ask me on a date :D

Pictures from my phone. 2 years ago.

Pics

Just so you know...I have been blogging so much due to my husband being away, this is the way I show him what is going on in our life's. Even if he has only been gone 3 days.

#1 worst thing about MY pregnancies

Don't think I complain all the time....I have just been a bit on the negative lately. I will blame that on the pregnancy too.

I LoVe, love, LOVE, being pregnant. I love all the little kicks, and all the things you learn about your baby's growing body. I love knowing every day is one day closer to my bundle. But I have some not so wonderful pregnancy symptoms.

Top 5 things I hate about pregnancy.

5. Morning sickness...it doesn't last long, and I only get nauseous.

4. Forgetting everything, like my dad's birthday. SHH don't tell.

3. Being so tired all the time.

2. Clumsiness, I knock everything over. I have bruises currently on my knees from falling.

1. I CANT GO TO SLEEP! I will sleep forever once I am asleep. But when night comes and the baby is in his crib, I am up all hours of the night. I need sleep, but can't make myself go to BED.

Then there are other things like getting fat and retaining water...but who wants to hear about that :D
