Couldnt resist!

This is the armoir... but eventually the doors will have his/her initials

My BEAUTIFUL crib!

I have a friend that had twins and she introduced me to the most beautiful cribs I have ever seen by far! Here is the website http://www.brattdecor.com/

I knew as soon as I got pregnant that I would be on the hunt for certain bratt decor furniture for my nursery! I cant justify spending $1000 plus on a crib and then another $2000 for an armoir so I have been stalking craigslist since the day I found out I was having this bundle of joy! AND LOW AND BEHOLD I have already purchased my crib, changing table, and armoir! yeyyyy!! Thanks to my mom living near Chicago we have acquired all three things through craigslist! They are BRAND new too! Now we have to figure out how to get them down here but we have plenty of time as I am still not even finished with my first trimester! Thanks for your help mom!

I am still on the hunt for one more thing by bratt decor which is the cradle (u can see it on the website)! My mom and I saw it for the first time in a baby boutique and it is TDF! Will post more pics once I get it all here! I am so excited!

This is what Montana did to our chair when Mommy and Daddy told him he is going to be a BIG brother!!

Yes it is true!! Joe and I are expecting a little one on October 12th! I am about 7 weeks along and feeling great! We are really excited for our little pumpkin to arrive and have had fun pondering about the joys of parenthood. We went to the doctor last week and we saw a healthy heartbeat!

My birthday was last weekend and I flew to Chicago to celebrate with my mom, sisters, my Aunt Di, and my cousin Chrissy! It was fun though I caught a small cold. I had a fear of getting sick on the plane but everything went fine.

Fish on!

Well we are officially Floridians! My dad has been "shopping" for a boat for quite some time and we finally got one!! It even came equipped with a life jacket for Montana! Dad flew down last weekend and we had a blast breaking "her" in! Though I wont be going out in the gulf again unless the waves are 0-1!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to make tons of memories and catch a lot of BIG fish! Fish on Fish on!

Christmas party!

We flew to Chilly Chicago for a few days in December for a Christmas Party with his company! All I could say is that I was very cold and Joe and I didnt even bring jackets! It was fun to be in a city again though especially around Christmas time! Here are a few pics....

This group is AcRock! They were part of the entertainment which was awesome!
Me and my handsome hub!

Yes it was cold!

Turkey day!

Thanksgiving was awesome as The Wales were Hosts to my parents and sisters! I was ready to hang out with family especially since I had been bed ridden for so long after my surgery! I was ready to get my mind off things and we had a ton of fun! I was glad my parents got a break from that frigid weather in Chicago and we actually ate Thanksgiving day outside! My mom was a hige help with decorating my house for Christmas!

So havent Blogged for a while!!! I try not to be pegged as one of "those" bloggers but here I am blogging and havent blogged since Halloween!! The holidays were crazy and fun at the same time... Joe and I stayed home for the first time ever! We were doubting it up until the last minute and we actually really enjoyed it! Though there were a few moments of weird silence... We def missed the Rodabaugh tradition but loved not doing all the traveling!
