22 Weeks

At 22 weeks pregnant I am having a hard time finding pictures I even remotely care for of myself anymore. Going into this pregnancy I really wanted to take pictures along the way for the little one to see his mommy grow with him. Well now I can not stand to look at me pictures. I got Josh to take this pic after church today to report my progress.

Now days the little one is moving like never before. He kicks all day long. I feel it most when lying in bed at night and everything is calm. He seems really energetic which would not be after me but more like his dad. Yesterday we went to books a million and got him a baby book so that I can work on it before he gets here. I am so excited about the baby book because I love looking at mine and I am sure I will compare it to our baby’s progress one day.

The house is coming along so well! The painters started painting Friday which looked awesome! It is looking like we may get in by Thanksgiving. Well that’s what we are shooting for anyway. The rain has slowed the progress down on the outside and will continue to until it really dries up. We are so thankful the forecast for next week has no rain in it (well as of today anyway). It will be so nice to see some sun !!!

ETSY Sale!!!

I am now offering buy any two pieces of already low priced jewelry from my shop receive the third free!! Read my shop announcements for details. I am doing this for two reasons...Mainly because I just do not have time to create new things like I should because I am so focused on becoming a new mom and we are still building the new house. Both of these things take so much of my time and thoughts I just don't have time to worry about the jewelry right now. Next reason is because if I find I do have time to still create new jewelry after the baby is born I would want to start fresh with new styles and colors. Check out the new lower prices. I hope you find something you Love! Have a great day (even though it just keeps raining and raining)!

My Sweet Baby Boy!!

Yesterday was such a special day for us! My husband, mother-n-law and I went to my doctor to find out the sex of our baby. The lady took us back to the room to do the ultra sound and she could not get the baby to get in the position where we could tell what it is. Finally after she bothered it enough it moved and she said...it's a boy!! He is absolutely Perfect!!! He had the hiccups the whole time we watched him. He also yawned several times so Big. We were so excited she actually got the yawns on the DVD to show family. It made everything so much more real to be able to see my baby moving and doing so many things all by himself. I am posting a couple of the pictures we got of him. The first one is him laying the most still he was the whole time we watched. He was such a mover! The second picture is him moving his hand over his face. He seemed to like his hands around his face. Now I have to get serious about decorating his room in the new house. I pretty much have everything picked out I just have to OK it with the hubby and get it ordered.

Sunday's Weigh in

This weekend I had to make do without my hubby. :( He and his brother entered in a two day fishing tournament. Saturday they were fishing at Guntersville, AL and Sunday they were at Chickamauga, TN. This was the same tournament that they won a brand new Skeeter bass boat last year! Whoo hoo!! Oh and they came so close this year. I was for sure we would be going to pick up a new boat again because they were leading the tournament the first day but with no big bites on Sunday they fell to fourth place. Oh well better luck next time guys! Josh fishes in October on Clarks Hill on the South Carolina/Georgia border with first prize being a brand new truck and boat! So we are keeping our fingers crossed for that one!

His parents and I drove up to Chattanooga on Sunday to watch the final weigh in. I am so glad we did because we had a good time!
















Here they are getting their fish out taking them to be weighed in
























Josh took the fish up to be weighed and tell the crowd what bait they used to catch them















I asked them for a picture after they got their check.

Saturday Shopping

Today my good friend Krissa and I went shopping in Cookeville. We had such a good time looking around the stores and eating lunch. She also took me to her custom home still being constructed. It was beautiful! My husband also went fishing at Chickamauga Lake today. He brought home some pics of some fish he caught and was very proud of. I am putting the one he calls a "toad". This is fisherman's term for Big. Ha!!

Maternity Cloths

I am so excited I am finally to the point to where I look pregnant and not like I just over done it on the Donuts. I am to the point that where I can barely where my normal shirts anymore and pants are almost non existent. My sister-n-law Bethany gave me a bundle of her maternity cloths from the boys. They are fitting me perfectly which is awesome. Did everyone know that maternity cloths are soooo expensive? I was shocked and disappointed. I Love Love Love new cloths but as expensive as these are I will only be able to get a few since I wont be wearing them long. Here are a few pieces I found on the web that I like. My fav place so far is Old Navy. It has nice things for a pretty good price.

Making Progress

The house is moving along now so fast! Josh is keeping things lined up so that it is never setting without someone working on it. We want to move in as quick as possible because Hello its our new house but mainly we just have to be in before the baby comes. Well I know that will happen but I really want to be settled and feel good about it when the baby comes home. Well I was just excited and wanted to post a couple of pics of the amazing progress. Josh has become a regular old contractor! Ha!
