We had some preview pictures from this weekend posted and oh my gosh I am in love! I feel so puffy already, but having Easton to include in these made it so sweet and special. ♥ 

This was the look he gave as he shook his head yes to having a girlfriend...when the photographer asked what his girlfriends name was, he replied, "Emerson" 

 I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and he said he would see me back in 2 weeks and he was going to do an ultrasound...um what? I know an ultrasound is not normal this late in the game...so he said that I have not gained any weight over my last 3 appointments and he needs to make sure that Emerson is growing and putting on weight like she should. I am so worried now. It is going to be a long 2 weeks :( Has anyone had an experience like this??

busy busy

Goodness! The last few days have been slammed with a lot on the schedule, but we have had so much fun! Thursday Drake's mom and step dad got in town. That evening we went and did one more 4d ultrasound. It was exciting as always :) I can't believe the next time we see Emerson she will be here in our arms! 

Friday at work, my co-workers threw me a shower. It was really nice and they had all of my students there too :) These are my TV Production kids...

And this is my CBSA class with my awesome assistants who I rely on so much! It was so sweet and special to have all of my kids there, my administrators came down with gifts and my mom came by as well as Drake and his mom and Jeff with Easton on their way out to play for the day :) 

While Easton was there they started the presents and he was excited to help open them. I assumed he would be excited for a few and then not care about the baby girl stuff or possibly even ask if there was a present for him...but he was SO into opening for his sister and genuinely excited for the things he was opening for her. It was so sweet! So that evening I went ahead and busted out his big brother gift from Emerson...he has been playing his new Sonic game anytime he gets a chance :) 

Saturday we hung around the house, Easton rode his bike to the library, Drake and Jeff worked on our barn doors, jumped on the trampoline and then got ready for our couple's baby shower. 

 It was a nice, laid back evening with good food family and friends. 

 I am very appreciative for everything we received for Emerson the last few days and there are only a couple things left on the to-do list before she comes. PS-it is still so surreal that I will have another baby in 2 months or less!

Today we went to the park before Babcia and Grandad headed back home. Easton really enjoyed having them around this weekend! 

We still have maternity pictures left this evening and then time to get ready for another week! xoxo

short and sweet

*Our 3 day weekend was great! We ate pizza and vegged out at home Friday night

 *Saturday I went to Kim's baby shower and then returned home to Red Lobster waiting for me and some Valentines goodies from my boys. ♥ 

*Yesterday we played at the park with friends

*Pre t-ball started tonight! Easton will be on the pirates this year. :) 

*Have a good week! 

Happy Hump Day! Time continues to fly by! The weekends, the workdays, everything seems to be moving faster than usual these days. Last week I had the dreaded glucose test. I have grown up so much in 4 years, my mom didn't have to go with me this time haha I found out I passed, so that was good news. I am really liking my doctor this time around and still hopeful for a vbac. 

 This weekend we went to the Home Depot workshop, Easton made a Valentines mail box that he will get to put to use this Friday at school :) I also had a beach photo shoot that evening, so anytime I get to hang at the beach is a plus! 

Sunday we enjoyed church, lunch with the family and playing at the park. It was a good day ♥ 

I hope everyone is having a good week! Exciting things coming up these next couple weeks with showers, Drake's mom and step-dad visiting, our maternity photo shoot...yay! 

Weekend

We had a good weekend! It went WAY too fast of course! But, Easton was invited to Madison's birthday party yesterday at Sam's Fun City, so we spent most of our day there. Easton had a blast! 

Other than that we got groceries and went to the park today along with hanging some things in the nursery. I am 28 weeks now. So crazy! Easton came up to my belly the other day and said, "Hey Emerson!" and kissed it. ♥ It was so sweet. I told him he could talk to her more and he told me, "She said she wants to come out and play Jurassic Park with me." haha 

Have a good week! xoxo

bump and birthdays

My bump at 27 weeks ♥ 

 Easton popped in for one :) He seems to be getting more excited about having a sister. I can't wait to see them together!

Today was cold, so we were in town playing at the bounce house place, came home and Rose and Georgia stopped by and then we went to Jenn and Ronnie's for Ronnie's birthday. Easton had fun playing with all the kids :) Oh...and we are signed up for t-ball again. Oh boy. :) 

Happy to still have one more day before back to work! 

3 day weekend

 Awesome weekend with lunch downtown, LOTS of bike riding, playing at the park, jumping on the trampoline and enjoying beautiful weather and hanging out with my boys. 4 day work week this week. yay! ♥ 

running around and reading

Just a quick post of a few things we have been up to lately. Overall with it being dark and colder when we get home, the winter seems to feel less eventful, but we try and do some random fun inside things throughout the busy weeks. Easton had some money saved up from helping around the house and decided he wanted to go to the "ice cream store" and get an ice cream with some of his money. We had a nice little date while daddy was at work ♥ 

Over the weekends, we continue to slowly get some things marked off of the to-do list for Emerson. We did our registry last week-that was fun :) And got this wood dresser and painted it grey and added some new knobs. 

 We also went in town and played at the park and shot some hoops :) 

 Add in a trip to Chuckie Cheese after work yesterday and it's been a good few weeks. 

BUT the reason I am most excited to post today is this right here...I am a proud momma! Easton's teacher talked about starting to work on sight words with him and my mom told her that we had already been working on some at home...so the next day I sent in a book that focuses on sight words that Easton likes to read before bed so that he could read it to her, and she was amazed. She asked if I could send in another book the next day so that she could have him read to the class! She sent me this picture...and as soon as I opened it on my phone, I started to cry. It immediately took me back to Easton starting school last year and he could only say a handful of words, then he starts talking more, initiating conversations, and now here he was reading an entire book by himself to his class. God is good! 

I had to share ♥  Happy Friday eve!! 

New Year!

Happy 2016! We had a good weekend before it was back to reality today. Luckily, today was a planning day, so it gets me back into my routine without walking right back into all of my kids being there. I was able to get a lot of planning done and things organized. I'm ready to take on the second semester...well at least some of it until maternity leave starts! Ahhhh! 

{Here we are NYE just hanging at the house ♥ }

 The cold weather finally rolled in after hot, humid cloudy weather for our entire break! It made it that much harder today as I was stuck in my classroom and the sun is shining for the first time in 2 weeks. Blah

 Over the weekend we went to the Home Depot workshop...I'm pretty sure we will continue to be regulars there. It's free and Easton loves it. He made a spinning box this month. 

 Since we were all ready for the day, once we left there we headed downtown for a while. 

We ate lunch and walked around the farmer's market together. 

 We also got to see Emerson again this weekend! ♥ She was moving around like crazy! Opening her mouth, trying to stick her hands in there and of course except for a few shots, she was blocking her face with her hands for the most part. Easton was actually into it this time and it was so exciting. 

I think that's it for now. Have a good week! xoxo
