One of my cucumbers! It is over a foot long and still not ready to be picked!

Cucumber plant, peas plant, and parseley in between them.

My baby peas are sprouting!

Tomato plants, basil, rosemary, and cilantro!

Ok so this is Momma tomato plant that is just out of control! I planted her first and then the babies later (notice the size difference)

Garden

We have gotten a TON of rain in the past week. If anyone knows me knows that I LOVE the rain! It actually rained on the day I found out I was pregnant and the day of my first ultrasound and it was pouring last week on the way to the 19 week ultrasound! In a weird way it brings me a sense of PEACE.....

With all of this rain coming my Garden is GROWING! I took pics this morning! Pretty soon I am going to have so many cucumbers and tomatoes than I know what to do with.... here are some pics!

Scarlet Christine!!!

This is the 20 week shot people! Please excuse the MATERNITY bathing suit top! They are all ugly but had to get one since I am always outside and well it is comfortable!

I went for a 19 week ultrasound last week and we found out that we are expecting a little girl! I KNEW it was a girl since day one.... i guess it is the mommas "instinct" kicking in. We are very excited! We are going to name her Scarlet Christine Wales. She is up all the time and starting to pack a punch behind those kicks and punches. She looked awesome during the ultrasound! I actually was scared that she was going to be sleeping at the appt and we wouldnt be able to find out what the sex was. So on the way to the docs I drank a SMALL frap from the ol starbucks...hehe.... That is the first one I have had since being preggo... And the doctor commented on how she was the MOST active baby ever! My doc had jusst gotten a new ultrasound machine in and it was awesome!! The pics though did not come out well of her so I am not going to post them. Sorry!=)

I gained 3 more pounds.... I was pleased with that I guess. I have been feeling great other than when Scarlet decides to be a flamethrower for the day. So I have been trying to document what I eat. i HATE heartburn and besides that I am only 20 weeks!!!! HALFWAY there!!!!!!

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!

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

Can you tell we are bro and sis?
