Dear Designer Jeans,

The time has come dear jeans. You will be sorely missed. I can no longer fit into you. You know longer button up and lord knows i cant sit down with you on anymore. I have to move you to a bin for a while and hope that this wont change our relationship. You are my favorite thing to shop for. You are always there for me in time of need. You wont be gone forever though and I will take you out from time to time for inspiration for us to get back together. And we will be back together one day I promise you that. But this is goodbye for now. Thank you for being there through the years. My hiney will miss you.

Summer is HERE!

My first MOTHERS DAY(well almost) was awesome! Joe came home Thursday night and didnt have to leave until Monday afternoon! It was awesome to spend that much time with my husband! On Friday I presented him with a lovely list of my honey do's and boy did we work our butts off to get them done this weekend! I had him replant my garden in a different area this year and it is so PRETTY! I will take pics soon.

We also went to our pool and got tons of sun as I am trying to "brown dat belly" (this is what Joe always says=) We met our new neighbors and they brought us over dinner Saturday night in honor of Mothers Day! Here is a pic of Montana in the yard while we were working this weekend.... He HATES the heat but he sits out there as long as he can!

Belly OVERLOAD!

17 weeks!

18 WEEKS!! (start of my 5th MONTH!!!)

I am 18 weeks TODAY!!! AHHHHH!!!! Time is FLYING by!

Ok I am behind on updating belly pics.... so here they are! I am feeling GREAT! I actually LOVE being preggo right now and hopefully will feel like this until the time comes for this little one to come into this world!

The NEWEST update on Tator tot is I started feeling the twists turns kicks and punches! Everyday the little bugger is more and more active and it is awesome to feel and see.... Tator is actually rollin around as I type this!

May 20th is coming soon and cant wait to find out the sex! Stay tuned!

Erik Grad

So I flew to ATL last Wednesday to meet my mom and grandma there and we met up with my Aunt and headed to Eriks Graduation in good ol' Chattanooga. I am so glad we all got to go to be a support for my lil brother especially since his accident there. I am very proud of him and can wait to see what his future has to offer! At the ceremony he received two awards, one being MOST DETERMINED in which he most def deserved!

The next day we headed back to Atlanta and my Aunt took me to this FABULOUS fabric store downtown.... and OMG HOLY fabric! We were in there for hours rummaging through the entire store! We came up with two different themes for the bedding, window treatments, etc. pending on if its a girl or boy. I cant wait to find out.... only four more weeks!!!

Oh one more thing I wanted to say.... Congrats to Erik for landing a job right away! He is going to be working outside D.C. and starts Tuesday!

Can you find Erik!
Go Eggypoo!

At din the night before

Feesh

This one is for you honey! Joe said to me the other day that I dont give him any shotouts on this blog. So heres to you babe! We try to make it to the beach as often as we can and Joe usually fishes while I sit and I used to drink beer but now I EAT!=) We luv the beach and cant wait to bring Tator Tot here!

Cradle

Whoah... It has been a busy couple of weeks.... My parents and sisters were down for a week and I also took a trip to ATL to see my lil bro graduate from lineman school. Now Joe and I are preparing for his finals which are coming up in the beginning of May.

I had my 15 week appointment today! No ultrasound=( but i did get to hear the healthy heartbeat! I also had to get my blood drawn again and I am getting much better about this. The lady that did it was awesome at it this time! I have already gained a WHOPPING 4 pounds! I think I am going to watch what i eat from here on out.... The things that I eat are really healthy but it is the QUANTITY that I need to watch out for! For the most part I feel GREAT right now and lovin this 2nd trimester. Time is FLYING by!! I have definately POPPED a bit and will post a pic of that later.

Here are a few pics of my beautiful cradle that my mother bought me! We are going to start a tradition and pass ot down to all my siblings to use for theirs. Pics do not do this justice. My mom and I saw this in a baby boutique and just fell in love with it!

Four!
