This Unfamiliar Road

Well, I can definitely say that produce shopping has become a lot more interesting. Every time I'm at the grocery store, I find myself wandering around picking up different fruits to see how big Junebug is this week! 16 Weeks stats: Size: Avocado New Developments: Junebug can hear us, and can even be startled by loud...

I have a confession to make: I have not been feeling the Christmas spirit this year. I think the biggest bah-humbug was the looming fact that I had to work on Christmas Day. I am such a traditional holiday person, and I just couldn't excited about the big day knowing that I wouldn't be able to spend time with my family....

Bring on the maternity clothes! I am starting to get 'that look' when I'm out and about now-is she pregnant or just chubby around the middle? Nobody is brave enough to ask-yet! 14 week stats: Size: Lemon (although my uterus is easily double that size, thus the baby bump) New Developments: Sucking on his/her thumb (getting...

The bump has appeared and I am gaining some of my energy back. My biggest challenge lately is working 2 days in a row (basically 26 hours packed in!) and trying to be productive on my next day off. Usually my day off involves a lot of napping and relaxing, and Ben has been amazing through it all! On his day off, he spent...

One of the first home projects we knew we had to tackle was the landscaping, especially in the front yard. Our home was a foreclosure and had not been empty long, but it seems they just ignored the flower beds. We knew some major cleaning, reshaping and re-mulching was in order. We decided not to plant any flowers...

We went for our 12 week ultrasound yesterday and it was so exciting to get to see Junebug again! Before we got started, she said "There is a 1/100 chance I might be able to determine the gender today-do you want to know?" Tempting, but we stuck to our plan and said, "NO!" A lot has changed in the 4 weeks since...

Ben and I are thrilled to announce that we will become a family of 3 in June! I cannot describe the amount of love and support we have received from family and friends. The questions have been pouring in, so I thought I would take advantage of our blog to answer them all at once! When are you due/How many weeks are you?...

The day finally arrived! As usual, I was a terrible photographer. I think I was more focused on making sure things went smoothly...my # 1 duty as a Matron of Honor. After rehearsal on Friday (11/4), we enjoyed dinner at Ray's Killer Creek. The food was fabulous and we enjoyed the company even more. I'm not sure we slept...

Christa and I recently had the opportunity to live out a dream we have had since the 5th grade! OK, it sounds crazy...but we all remember the band Hanson, right? Yes, the ones with that hit single MmmBop. Well, Christa and I were completely obsessed with these boys when we were 10. We knew every word to every song and...

A few days after our move, I just couldn't stand it anymore-I had to go visit those babies! Mac & Paisley were almost 6 weeks old and the sweetest babies ever! I took night duty on Monday night (Jordan didn't argue at all!) and really enjoyed helping Ashley through the night and the next day! Nap time! (they are...

I have had lots of family & friends asking to see pictures of the new house! These are the pictures I took during our inspection, and now that we actually own the place, I feel ok sharing them now! Down the road, I would love to take a picture of each room as we work on it as a before & after. For now, here is...
