Pregnancy Fun

So today was the dreaded 3 hour glucose test. My doctor's office told me that I needed to fast at least 8 hours before so I scheduled the earliest appointment which was at 8:45. The nurse told me to bring a snack because I could eat it as soon as they took my fasting blood and then drank the glucose drink. So I thought no big deal I can make it. Well...my bubble was burst by the lovely lab tech. She said there is absolutely no eating or drinking until the 3 hour test was completed! Seriously!!! Who in the world thinks it is a good idea to starve a pregnant women! I don't! Madison wasn't too happy about the whole process either. She was kicking something fierce this morning. IT HURT! I tried to explain to her I was not the one being mean and keeping her from nourishment, but she still took it out on me. So not fair! Honestly the 3 hours went by pretty quickly and it was nice to have time to somewhat relax. I did not enjoy sitting in uncomfortable waiting room chairs though. I think they should offer us pregnant ladies nicer accommodations when we have to camp out there that long. A bed, a couch, a recliner.... I don't know what they have against us. Oh well...I survived. Hopefully with our next child (if there is a next child) I won't have to partake in this lovely experience again! I won't know the results until later this week but let's hope everything turns out good and I won't have to do a special diet or anything. What kind of fun would I have then! I am suppose to be able to eat whatever I want now, right!?

V-Day

Ah, Valentine's Day, such a wonderful holiday when you have amazing loves like me!

This morning I told Cannon Happy Valentine's Day! He quickly replied, "Thanks! What did you get me!" Hmmm...I think he thinks if you say the word happy in front of a special day then he gets presents! Later this morning he told his Sunday School teacher that he had a birthday cake at home. (I purchased a small v-day cake from the store last night.) Let me tell you, that boy did not forget about the cake! He asked about it as soon as we picked him up from Sunday School. We went out to lunch and on the way home he fell asleep. Andrew carried him in and was laying him down and he woke up saying, "I want cake!" We had to reassure him he would get his piece of cake AFTER he took a nap. He wasn't too happy but we finally got him to sleep. First thing he wanted when he got up from his nap, CAKE! :) Silly boy.

Playin' in the SNOW!

We enjoyed the beautiful snow we received this week. Cannon looked out the window and thought we were in Colorado! He kept asking when we were going to go skiing. :) He had lots of fun making snow angels, a snowman, and mowing the snow! Now the snowman was NOT my doing. He and Aunt Rachel made this lovely pregnant snowwoman. I am not sure why they had to accentuate certain parts of her body, but all I can say is I am SOO glad that they built this in the backyard!! :)

Madison's Crib Bedding

This past weekend my Mother-in-law and I took a great risk! I got the crazy idea that I wanted to make Madison's crib bedding custom. So I picked out the fabric and the pattern, then hoped my MIL would be up for the challenge. I have to admit. I was a little nervous at first. I am very particular when it comes to my home decor and design ideas. This was one I was very excited about doing. So when it came to actually putting it together, I started to second guess myself. My thoughts of how am I going to tell Bequita that I don't like it or that it just isn't what I was imagining, etc. But I was shocked to find that it came out better than I dreamed it to be! I absolutely love it! It is perfect in every way. The most special part of it is that her bedding was made by her Nana and her momma. We spent the entire weekend from the time we got there on Friday until Sunday right before we left, working on every detail of her beautiful bedding. It was so fun to make it, although exhausting, and seeing the final product. I will be so sad the day she grows out of her crib and we have to put it away.





Excuse the make shift crib we have yet to order her crib!

3 Going on 13!

I don't know what is happening to my sweet little boy. Lately the things coming out of his mouth are so crazy that I think he must have been abducted or something. Or maybe he picked these up from the week in Oklahoma....hmmm. :) Here are a few of the recent phrases and conversations that have happened.

In the car:

Andrew: What the crap!

Cannon: What the crap!

Me and Andrew: (Shock and hysterical laughter)

Cannon: What's that crap doing!

Andrew: Cannon don't say that.

Cannon: What's up with that crap!

Me: (Crying because I am laughing so hard)


Sunday getting ready to leave for church:

I was sitting at the bar when Andrew says okay lets go. I continue to sit at the bar for a few second too long because Cannon says "Well are you coming or what!?"

One night at dinner:

Andrew was sharing his plate with Cannon. Cannon tells us he is thirsty so Andrew tried to give him a drink from his cup. Cannon say "No, I want my own one." Again, I didn't move fast enough for Cannon because he looks at me and say "Uh..Is that a problem!"

But despite all of his mouthy moments some of the words I have loved to hear the most from him are:

"Daddy, you're my best friend!"

"Mommy, you're my favorite girl!"

"That Madison Jane is a pretty girl!"


Awww... I love him.
