19 Weeks!

Little baby G is 19, almost twenty weeks old. You would think babycenter.com would compare our precious little things to something cute or fun, but so far its been veggies and fruit. Don't get me wrong, food is good but when you're pregnant sometimes the last thing you need on your mind is food.

Baby weighs 8 1/2 oz. and measures 6 in. from head to bottom. Brain is growing rapidly, and all senses and booming! Some researchers say they can hear us talking, so they recommend reading, singing and talking to them from now on. Luckily I have a son that loves doing all those things so I can talk with them both at the same time. Who doesn't love multi-tasking?

This Friday, Justin and I are going to our doctors appointment. to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. We are so excited to find out, because this will be Jacks little buddy. It won't matter either way, its just so exciting to know that our family will be that much closer to being complete.

Its definitely going to be a stepping stone for us in this pregnancy, that's for sure. As soon as we know what gender it is, Justin will finally help me start picking names. He has told me many times that he is not going to think about stuff like that till we know what it is, and has stuck to it. When we were pregnant with Jack, we had a girl name we loved picked out, but then found out it was a boy. Now with this one I have said on occasion that I didn't like the girl name we had picked out anymore. So I think he got kind of discouraged when I said that. So maybe we might just have to take that name into account for this baby as well :)

Well, talk to you Friday after we find out what we are having. I will scan in some pictures too for the masses, if you would like to see how little baby G is doing.

Becoming Domesticated

I never thought I would be loving some of the things I do. For instance, last year for Mother's Day Justin got me a Kitchen aid Artisan Stand Mixer. Of course, he knew I didn't want just a regular color like white, black, or red, so he let me get online and find the perfect color. Burgundy!! It was between burgundy and a Green one. Burgundy won. It fit better with the decor in our house. Yes, I'm retarded but hey its looks fabulous.

Then for Valentine's Day this year, he got me a bread machine! Yeah now I can actually make my own bread! I have almost attempted making bread and rolls and such, but when I read the directions most of the recipes usually took 4-6 hours depending on the size and what type of bread you were making. That just turned me off to it all together. So, Justin figured that if I had a bread machine, I might just make some thing out of all those ingredients that are sitting in the house. To my surprise, I came home from church yesterday to find a bread machine on the dining table with a big bow on it.

Which brings me back to "becoming domesticated." I never thought that a would love gifts like these, but since I've had Jack, cooking is kind of an out for me so by having tons of awesome kitchen gadgets, I can release that tension while being at home. Plus it give me the chances to make some really great recipes!

Ask anyone... Creating weird but delicious food it what I do best!

Can't wait to see what's created next!

"just another manic monday"

Today has been a rainy day Monday. That about sums it up for the day. Waking up early to a grey sky somehow always ends the same. Stuck in the house, just Jack and I trying to find things to do so we don't go crazy. Watching a few movies just made us more tired and crazy, so I turned up our "Jukebox Tunes" and started to wake up. Jack loves music, so i figured this would get his mind off of not being able to go outside. Well, sure enough in worked. His dancing and "exersize" started. Then he just had to have lily join in the fun. So sadly, she let Jack drag her around the house like a rag doll, only to snap at him a few times.
With this baby in the belly, I could only join his fun for a bit. Then decided to finish a project I had started with my sister a few months ago. I will get some pictures up when its done, or maybe surprise you with some throughout the painting process. We'll see. Man, does being pregnant seem to drain your energy fast. With a two yr. old, energy is a must! Oh well, I guess he can wait a few more months till his little sibling pops out.
Then at about one o'clock Justin surprises us by coming home a few hours early from work? Sadly it's because he has been having bad cases of dizziness the past few days. So even though he is only home to get some rest and try to recover, we are glad he is home with us anyway. As soon and Jack saw daddy... His first words were "Cuddles!" Since its Jack bed time, he thought that since daddy was home he could get out of it by being so dang cute! Well he can read us like a book, because he got what he wanted, like with most things.
So by waking up to a crappy Monday, it somehow seemed to ease its way into an okay day so far. Now lets just hope it gets better or it at least stays this way till tomorrow morning.
