Wedding

Celebrating these two this weekend.

Wishing them all the happiness in the world.

And a marriage with as much fun as the one I have been blessed to have.

Lately...

Lately, we've been preparing for B's arrival.
Only 10 and a half weeks left!

Lately, we've made some tasty suppers with friends.
Specifically breakfast for supper - I made my grandma's chocolate gravy for the first time on my own and it was DELICIOUS!

 Lately, I've been goofing off with my nephew and teaching him how to take iPhone selfies.

Lately, I may have received this text during the week after our weekend visit where said nephew had taken some awesome shots all on his own - and immediately told his mom, "Ashley showed me" when he was asked about these photos. Way to throw me under the bus, buddy. Haha.

 Lately, my chihuahua has taken my Snoogle pregnancy pillow as his own.

 Lately, we've had fun hanging with family in town and Matt has enjoyed playing with his cousin, C.

 Lately, we (I) budgeted in a splurge item for baby B - a pink pettiskirt.

 Lately, I may have put said pettiskirt on Stevie. She may have gotten a little sassy.

Lately life has been pretty good.

Baby B

As you can tell from my elephant/peanut ticker on the blog, I am starting my third trimester this week! Less than 3 months until I can meet and hold my sweet baby girl!

This pregnancy has gone very well - for which I am very thankful. Any scares have ended up being minor. Everyday I can feel her kicking and dancing around in my belly and I love every second.

I've started a baby/pregnancy blog that I'm keeping private for B's sake. There's a link to it at the top of the page in the blog menu bar. If you'd like to subscribe, just leave a comment on this blog with your email address and I'll send you the invite. Don't be shy if you want to follow. I am not keeping it private because I don't like sharing her, I'm only keeping it private because I don't want photos of her or information about her to show up on Google search engines, etc. for strangers to see and use/copy my stuff.

Plus, with the eternal lifetime of things on the internet - I would hate for her to apply for a job someday and that employer pull up photos of her from when she was 6 mos old and her mom blogged about that time she put a rock up her nose. (I'll also start being very cautious about what I post of my nephews on this public blog, too. Protecting their privacy, present and future, is just as important to me as B's.)

So for her sake I feel better keeping her shenanigans (and those of her parents) limited to a small audience.

Here I am in my 27 week glory:
