It's me. I'm here. :) It has been one lazy day for me. Mr. B has been....less than cordial these past 3 days, but today is looking up. I haven't had any major meltdowns yet:) He didn't pee his bed last night so that is exciting! Woke me up at 4ish to go pee...well not really...4 is my usual pee hour..lol. Yesterday we bought him half of his big boy bed. Very exciting! I was able to get a new twin mattress and box spring for $109. Woo-hoo! Now we just need his frame. I'm thinking we will go to deseret because they seem to have the cheapest new beds around....and quality. And we need to buy a new crib mattress for new baby because 1) I would like her to have a new bed 2) I flipped it over the other day and it feels like the springs are coming up....whoops! It's had a good run though...3 1/2 years surviving B, and his parents occasionally sitting on it:) Anyway...

Ksl.com is turning into my new best friend. I was able to get a brand new changing table for $80 and it matches pretty well with our crib. I'm going to try and get my glider/rocker from there also because those puppies aren't cheap new. Like...200+. What else....I'll try for a dresser too, but those pretty well match up price wise...for a decent one. Wow I'm rambling today. :)

I have a Dr's appt tomorrow. Just a general check up. According to my scale I have lost 2 lbs so we will see hwta the devil scale at their office says! I'm pretty sure I feel her moving around and I think she must be big enough by now...because I can feel my belly at diff points and there's a distinct hard area that seems 'babyish'. So that's cool. :) Guess I will put up a pic. So till the next time I feel like babbling....

a tribute

I want this post to show my undying affection to my hard working husband whom I never see because he is in Maui. :) I appreciate all he does for our family. I'm proud of him for completing 4 years worth of college and having his journeymans license in Utah and Hawaii. He does a great job. I am grateful tht he has endless amounts of patience with me. I just love him. :) AND his sweet overalls:)




His sexy beard he decided not to shave this trip...till he flies home:)




what he does at work...mass amounts of talent right there! It took me 40 minutes to wire up a phone jack exactly the same as it was! lol...granted I am half retarded right now...but still. This crap is meticulous! And I want you to know Matt that I love you and am proud of you and you being an electrian! So till then,

Meg

Spring!

Whew...that's all I can say this afternoon! And I think I will also let the pictures do the talking. I had my handy manny sister in law over today and she helped.....no I helped her redo my front garden stuff:) I was a little useless. :) She is the hardest woman worker I have seen in a long time. Wow. Anyway....here are some before pics...and of course...after pics. Enjoy:)

Just because he's cute I threw this one in too:)

Copy-R

So, here's how this game works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift/treat from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and paste like I did).Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back andanticipate the arrival of your gift! (But don't feel like if you comment that you have to do this. If you want to try it out, just let me know in the comments and I will hook you up.)

lol...yes I copied and pasted. :) One alteration...I'm not as handy as some so I won't say that it will be handmade:) And here's some new pictures from my to handsome fellas. :)

New baby

Above...scary skeleton face:)


Side shot. Sorry it's blurry. She was moving all over the place!

we're having.....

I know...I have no self control when it comes to surprises! I had my Dr.'s appointment today. We had an ultrasound. And it appears that we are having a wiggly, squigly, Girl!

Can you believe it?!?!?!!? I can't. B told us the hwole time we were having a "sister". The Dr was about 90% sure. But she didn't want to say 100% because the baby was moving all over the place! Hands in the way, feet in the way. Moving all over the place. So now for names.....no idea. I'll upload the pics at some point. So till then,

Meg

fat picture

Well...I guess this will be the start of my pregnancy photos. I am 15 wks and 5 days pregnant today. Matt took this of me this morning. enjoy...I guess:)

long over due

I'm going to put up some pictures of before and after on our carpets.....








Yes how exciting I know. Not much new going on here. I went and bought some maternity pants yesterday. I really dont like them. They make me feel like they're falling off my butt. On top of the lack of not showing. This pregnancy is driving me crazy. I just feel like a fatty. But that's the story of my life I guess. I'm certainly not one of those women that can have kids and six weeks after birth fit into my jeans again. So how do I fix it? Start now and after the baby's born turn into a workout-a-holic. ANYWAY.

Matt comes home in 2 days!!!!!! Woo-hoo! B and I are very excited. Ok. I'm done for now. Till then,

Meg

lol

Well I'm at it again. I went to the shelter today to look at a springer that needs rescuing. Not sur ehow many know...but we are a pet free home at the moment. Our momentary thought of moving to Hawaii (before we had no money) had us finding new homes for them. I swore to Matt that we weren't getting another dog because it was pointless. and this doesn't technically count as it's a rescue. I haven't made up my mind yet if I am going to jump in and foster him or not. Talked to the man in charge and he of course left it up to me.

In other news, my pregnancy has been going good. I find I have more energy, so I use it and obviously use to much because I tire myself right out. I thought it would be fun to walk to my in-laws from my house. It's only a 7 minute ride...or about 4 miles? I made it 3/4 of the way before I was getting really pooped. It felt good though. The only thing that has been annoying lately is my ligament pulls. I don't sleep as sound anymore and I've rolled over in bed and felt like someone has stabbed me. No fun. My appt is on the 9th. We have an ultrasound with the option of seeing what the sex is. Still not sure if we'll find out.

Hmmm...other than that not much new. I have read a book my sister in law let me borrow. It was pretty good. You know it touches something when you can't stop bawling! lol..what a loser! I'm in the middle of the second book now. Not quite a tear jerker but still interesting. Ok...enough babbling. Hope everyone is well. Love you all,

Meg
