YaY fOr ShOwErS!i!

I had my shower today and it was sooo much fun! Thanks everyone and I got SOOOOO much great CUTE stuff! I love it all! I'm so thankful to have such great friends and family! My Aunt Shirley made this cute diaper cake! I love it! I don't have too many pictures so I will try to get some of my fun presents so everyone can see! Thanks again!

i'm gonna be a mommy...

I went to the doctor yesterday. First of all, he had jammed his finger playing basketball so he had to use his left hand. Wasn't quite as skilled and I thought I was going to die! :) But I lived in case you were wondering! He said that not much has changed... which is fine. He could tell that his head was in the right place and he gave me a bishops score of 8. He aked how I felt about being started and I told him he is the dr and he should tell me what to do. So if I haven't gone by Tuesday night then I'm to check into the hospital at 9pm and they are going to start me (39 weeks) So more than likely my baby will be born Wednesday January 21st. :) So cute huh?! I'm trying not to think about it, but what else can you honestly think about?? :) So that is the latest! Hope everyone is doing swell!!!

kind of an update

Hi there! I hope everyone is doing lovely... and here is the scoop in my life. Jade's grandfather in Oregon passed away and his funeral is Friday. I went to the dr on Monday and asked him if I could travel that far and he thought I would be fine and checked everything out and said i'm looking good. Then he decided he'd better measure me just to make sure. Well, you all know how they measure ya, kinda not fun and as he is in there he makes the comment, "oh wow...". Seriously??? Then he said that I am dilated to a 2 1/2 and i'm 80% thinned. Scariness! So he told me he would let me go to Oregon if I wanted to have my baby there. Needless to say, I'm a scaredy cat and I stayed home, and Jade is now 12 hours away from me... I have been feeling ok. Lots of pressure and my back is pretty achey but I'm doing good. My luck is that it will still be another month before anything goes on... so i'm just kind of hanging out. Trying not to think about stuff.

Remember this yucky mess??

And this one?
Well here is my final... not quite finished. I'm gonna finish the window and hang more cute stuff but for the most part, this is it!

And for all of you dying to know... :) I ended up going with a Chicco stroller! I have heard nothing but good about them and couldn't get my mind off of it. My darling mother bought it for me and I know it was way more than she wanted to spend but she told me that safety is more important so thanks mom! I love you and I can't wait to see my little monster in this bad boy!

Also, any wagers on what color of hair he is going to have???

satin sheets

I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas! I know that I did!!! Jade bought me a new video camera that I LOVE!! He also got me some great sweaters and a foot spa and a whole bunch of little things! He did great! My parents gave us a rocking chair! It is so comfy cozy!! Jades parents gave us all sorts of fun things along with money so that we can go shopping! How exciting! I'm so sad that it is all over, but it was a great Christmas!

Well, I guess that countdown is officially on. Yesterday was the 28th of December and I am supposedly due the 28th of January. (just lost my stomach but i'm ok!) I can't believe how fast time has flown by. I'm so excited but in no means does that mean I feel the teensiest bit ready:)

***Just a note for anyone pregnant: I read somewhere that Satin sheets are a must, and I admit, I bought some & seriously... I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. It is so easy to turn over in bed and so much nicer to just slide right out when I wake up my whole 5 times in the middle of the night! Jade is having a hard time getting use to them, but I think it is more for the fact that they are cheetah print than the smooth satin feel! :)

Viva!

Well we made it home from Vegas and what a wonderful time was had! :)

This is my cute crazy husband and my fav cousin Louie!

Jade and Louie roped in the #13. They had to rope on Wednesday and they caught all 3 so then they had to sit around all week and wait to rope one more time on Saturday! How scary! They were 7th high call and ended winning 4th place!! Which is fabulous! Here is the catcher! They both won $25,000!!!!I'm not one for hunting or deer heads hanging on the wall or any of that sorts but this deer is so crazy, I thought I'd show you!
This is the Putters (Connie and Danny)! They are so much fun and we are so glad that they came with us! Vegas wouldn't be the same without them and they are such good troopers!

Here is mom and Connie sitting at the arena where we spent every morning except for Sunday!

Louie and Chels after the big win!

The hubs and me!

I feel bad, I have hardly any pictures of our trip but we did have a great time! We went shopping to all of the Cowboy Christmas' and had I known Jade was gonna win me some money I woulda bought a lot more stuff! :) I'm glad to be home and away from the smokey smell of casino's. We walked alot and I got soo tired a few days but everyone took great care of me and it was so much fun!!!

I'm so proud of Jade and Louie and thankful for the blessings that we receive! We are so lucky! And in case anyone was wondering... I didn't gamble once!! (Jade did plenty for the both of us:))

Well, officially 6 more weeks supposedly until this little angel of mine arrives. I'm hoping for an angel anyways which means I want him to be more like me than his dad :) but we will see what happens! Starting to get nervous for being a mommy but I'm just grateful I have family close and a great husband!

CATCHUP!

Good grief! I have been horrible with my camera lately and don't have many pics so just thought I'd throw a few random ones on! This is the snowman I made at Super Saturday! I love it, and wish I would have ordered more!!
My crib finally came! Sherydon helped me put it together. I don't have a mattress yet so I just threw some stuff in to make it look not so lonely.

I made a fleece blanket for my little guy and this is an upclose of the embroidered puppies on it! SOOOO cute!

Sher took this pic the other day when my kittens were all tryin to sleep on me.

My kittens are leaving me tonight... I am so sad but my house is starting to smell like a cat so I'm glad at the same time. I know they'll be taken care of so it is all good! Maui is doing great and she is going to spend the week with Kitty in mom's garage. I think they're excited to spend some time together and now that Maui is all fixed up we don't have to worry about more kittens! :)

We are leaving for Vegas in the morning and I'm so excited! :) Hope we come home with lots and lots and lots of money!! Hope everyone is doing great!
