..

The last two weeks have been crazy. I had headaches one week and a horrible toothache the next. I ended up having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics I was given for the toothache. I ended up at the ER having an EKG, CT scan, and tons of blood drawn. Benadryl and steroids shots for the allergic reaction and sent home with a horrible rash on my face. After having all this happen I finally went and had a root canal done. Instant relief.

Here is a recap of the last 2 weeks in pictures. Even being in horrible pain I couldn't just sit at home especially considering I had Addison so I went other places and was miserable there but at least Addison had a good time.

Last Saturday we spent the day at my Aunt Bev's house. Then that afternoon went fishing with them.

She really is cute no matter what she is doing.

These were two completely different fishing trips and if it wasn't for Addison I would have passed on both.

Being 35 weeks pregnant and fishing really doesn't go together.

Addison and Allie.

I just had to share some pictures I got of Addison yesterday. Getting pictures of a three year old is usually an impossible task so if I get one good one I'm thrilled..

We have finally decided on the name Allie Peyton.

I have had such a hard time picking a name. I have people that seems to criticize everyname I pick but this time I refuse to let anyone change my mind.  Addison came up with it out of the blue one day. My great grandmother was named Alice she passed away two weeks before Addison was born. So Allie it is.. I loved her so much and just loved being around her. She didn't pick favorites and considering she has over 40 grandchildren and great grand that says alot. Addison would have been her 1st great great grandchild. I miss her so much especially around Easter each year its just not the same without her here. Words can't express how awesome she was. I have less than 6 weeks until Allie bug is here. I can't wait to see that little face. April 26th can not get here fast enough.

Changes.

Well since I've been slacking on blogger I think its time get caught up.

Thankfully I'm lame and don't do much so this wont take long..

We have been organizing like crazy my nesting instincts has definitely kicked in.

We bought Addison a big girl bed.

The baby's bedding came in. I was so not expecting it until April sometime.. It was such a surprise when we found it on our porch..

We bought us a new bedroom suite. I love it.

We picked out a baby name and totally changed it.

We had Ashtyn Leigh picked out but she just doesn't feel like an Ashtyn. Addison actually picked out the name we're gonna go with. I'm sure she will love one day that I let a 3 year old name her but its very cute and actually after my great grandmother so its a winner now only 6 weeks {or maybe less} to get decided on a middle name.

Lately..

So since I've slacked in blogging lately I thought I'd catch up..

Lately we've been doing as little as possible.

A little baking..

Addison has to be in the kitchen when I'm cooking.

A lot of organizing.

We had this huge toy box in the living room and I just wanted to put them all in storage containers to go in Addison's closet. We ended up with 9 containers. Thats after taken several containers to storage plus the 100 stuffed animals she had.

Brody has been coming up staying with us twice a week.

Of course Addison has been thrilled with that.

Visiting with the Grandparents at their store.

& of course doctor visits..

We went for a 3D ultrasound last week. For anyone who has never been pregnant the 3D ultrasound is what you pay $150.00 extra for so you can get that 1st little glimpse of what your baby will look like. Well, I got nothing but a picture of the top of her head, hand, & foot. After an hour of trying to get a picture of her sweet little face this is all I got but I've been staring at her little hand and foot for days.

{I think she has my arms and feet}

As of now we have Ashtyn Leigh picked out for her name. It possibly could change but I highly doubt it. The biggest thing on my mind right now is baby bedding. I'm in such a panic thinking I'm not going to get everything done in time. I have 11 weeks left until she arrives unless she decides to come early like Addison then it could be as soon as 5 weeks. Lets hope she waits the whole 11 out because we have so much to do.

I have this bedding picked out.
I love it. It's just so girly..

The girls will be sharing a room so I'm going crazy trying to match bedding.

I have this picked out for Addison's bed.

{Minus the blue sheets of course.}

I'm going to get her two pillows like this one.

I just love etsy..

I have white ruffled curtains picked out. I'm just trying to go as girly as possibly.

Thankfully I have pinterest and etsy to help me out with that..

I found this on etsy and I'm gonna try to duplicate it.

27 Weeks.

Hello Third Trimester.

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 27 Weeks.
Size of baby: An eggplant.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained less than 10.
Gender: It's a girl. Name we're working on. It will start with an A.
Maternity Clothes: All except for lounge wear.
Movement: She moves alot but every now and then she slows down enough to scare me to death.
Sleep: I toss and turn alot. I just can't get comfy.
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach.
Cravings: Nothing really.
Symptoms: Cramps galore. I have been cramping up for a week I went to doctor Wednesday and they put me on bed rest due to the cramping and some other symptoms until some test come back. Either I have some sort of stomach bug or could possibly be having contractions which could trigger premature labor so I'm hoping for the stomach bug but considering noone else in my house has been sick I'm really worried. If the test come back normal then I get to spend a day or night in the hospitial hooked up to machines. It just makes me so sad to think of having a baby at 27 weeks or even having to go in the hospital to stop labor until I'm further along and leaving my other baby at home. So I'm anxiously waiting for my phone to ring and everything be okay.. I'm beyond stressed.
Best Moment this week: Hearing her heart beat.

 

  

 

Twenty Twelve.

I have a feeling 2012 will be awesome.

Mainly because our family of three will become a family of four.

 I can't wait to see that sweet little face in April.

I usually don't make resolutions mainly because I usually don't go through with them but this year
I pretty much have no choice.

Get organized.

 I have so much to do before the baby comes. We have a room to be completely redone. We have to get Addison her big girl bed, change her bed back to a crib, organize her closet (this makes me cringe just thinking about it), paint her dresser & mirror [well this is on Daniel's to do list; I have more sense then to breath paint fumes while pregnant] get matching crib set & bedding, new rugs, curtains, & a new tv for the girls is defintely on that list.

At the moment I like this one. The top of course for baby and bottom for Addison's bed.

Find a new Church.

Our Church is over 45 minutes from our house so our goal this year is to find a Church closer to home. Its a chore getting three people ready in the morning and having to leave the house an hour early & soemtimes it just makes it impossible to make it places in time. The one we attend doesn't have an active nursery and I very much believe every Church should have them.

 So not only is our goal to find one but to get more involved.

Focus more on the ones that matter the most.

I usually have a pretty good sense on who to trust and who not to. Lately obviously I don't. I just think some people try way to hard sometimes to fit in. I joke around 75% of the time. Its just me. I just try to make people laugh cause I feel like they just need it. So to sum it up this last year I learned who I can & can't trust, I learned not everyone is as loyal as they seem, & people will do just about anything to fit in.

Plan out weekly meals..

I plan on cooking more & eating out less. I have seriously slacked when it comes to cooking. We eat out way more then we should. Sometimes its just easier then going to the grocery store with a 3 year old and trying to buy groceries for a week. I do plan on trying to cook at least 5 nights a week.

I need to make me one of these to put our weekly menu's on.

Take more pictures.

I plan on taking pictures everyday. I finally got a new camera. Mine was being held together with tape & to be honest it just sucked. Now with a better camera I'm more motivated to get it out and actually use it.

Thankfully the day it came in I had plenty of people to pose for me.

Ditch the social networking world.

I plan on becoming less involved in the social networking world. I have a facebook which I'm quite fond of. I wonder why I added some of the people on their but thankfully they have that clever little remove friend button. I deleted my twitter I feel like its useless and distracting. I do plan on blogging more at least once a week if possible.  

Realize..

This year I hope to learn that I can't fix everything{everyone} and that maybe somethings{people} are just meant to be broken..

I do pray for people but sometimes if they aren't willing to help themselves things just won't get any better.
