Happy Monday!

September 24, 2012

What a jam-packed, productive weekend!  I think my nesting instincts have definitely kicked in because I have all sorts of projects around house that I’m loving checking off my list!  Of course, some projects aren’t planned but have to get taken care of anyway – like a broken faucet!

What did we do over the past few days?

We read new books…thanks GJ!

We saw some old friends…

We hung out with some new friends…

We played in the dirt before church…

We went to Lowe’s…

and also Bed, Bath & Beyond where we came home with a treat for Maxwell…

We played dress-up.  Maxwell pretended to be a fireman…

and Robert pretended to be a plumber!  He replaced our kitchen faucet all by himself.  Way to go Robert!

Of course, he had a good helper!

We had a great weekend overall and loved the cooler temps!  The only downside is a little cold that Maxwell seems to have come down with – some coughing and a runny nose.  Let’s hope it moves on through quickly.

We got a lot of good stuff done for BBB2’s room. It’s really coming along and I’m feeling much better about that.  We’re just waiting on the twin bed that we ordered to come in and then we’ll be all set.  Good thing because we’re at 4 weeks and counting!

Hope you all had a great weekend too!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

1 month to go!

September 21, 2012

Here we are…1 month until the due date!  Yes, I originally had my due date as October 23rd but my doctor has always had it as October 21st.  At this point, I’m going with the closer date!  And if he wants to come even sooner than that, be my guest little guy!  I personally think October 15th is a great date – right, Susu?

The best word to describe me right now is uncomfortable.  and perhaps a little whiny and cranky.  🙂  My ankles are swollen, my clothes don’t fit and blah blah blah.  All that said, I’m still feeling good and keeping up (mostly) with Maxwell.  Just don’t ask me to bend over and pick up his toys!  🙂  I think my workouts with a trainer 3 mornings a week are making a big difference.  They’re keeping me strong and giving me energy.  Thanks Kathleen! I might not like all those push-ups, planks, squats and sliders but I know they’re good for me!  Just like last time, I plan to work out all the way up to the end if possible.  We’ll see!

Here I am in all my 35 week glory headed to workout at 7am…

If I could wear workout clothes every day I would…and, let’s get serious, I kinda do!  So stretchy and comfy!  It’s funny, I have all these cute cotton maternity dresses from last time that I haven’t worn at all this time.  I guess it’s because they’re not too practical when I’m constantly kneeling down to deal with Maxwell?  I don’t know but I do have a pair of jeans and few tanks that are my uniform right now.

Let’s hope they make it another month!

For now, I’m just going to soak up these next 4.5 (or less!) weeks with this smiley guy…

Have a great weekend!

MBB

September 19, 2012

Just some cute pics of my cute boy…

He’s growing leaps and bounds every day, communicating more and making life so fun.  I must say, I’m going to miss it being just me and him in about 5 weeks.  I know BBB#2 is going to be perfect as well but…Maxwell will always be my first baby.

I guess the only thing better than getting to love on Maxwell is getting to love on Maxwell AND his baby brother!  🙂

A birthday post!

September 18, 2012

Does everyone know what today is?  Oh yes, it’s GJ’s BIRTHDAY!!!!  Happy Birthday GJ (or DD as Maxwell has been calling her lately)!  No Aspen this year, but with all the traveling from FL to AL to AR you’ve been doing, something tells me you’re happy to just be at home today!

You’ve been carrying the weight of the world (well, at least the weight of most of our family!) on your shoulders and we want you to know how much we appreciate all that you do (really, really appreciate it!) and how much we LOVE you!  I simply don’t know what we would do without you.

As a little reminder of your birthday wishes in the past, check out 2010 and 2011.  For this year, Maxwell once again wanted to send you some happy birthday wishes…

 Hmmm, I can’t wait to give GJ a big hug for her birthday!

Unfortunately you don’t get to see her in person today, buddy.

Whaaaat?  That’s not a nice thing to say Momma.

I know buddy.  I wish we could see her too.  But, we’ll see her in just about 5 weeks when your baby brother is born.  Until then, let’s show her the great birthday sign.

Fine.  Here you go.

Oh, come on bud.  Let’s show GJ how much we love her and how excited we are that it’s her birthday!

Alright, Momma.  You’re right…how’s this?

Much better!  Now, how about a big smile?

You got it!  Cheese!

Oh boy, GJ’s gonna love that!  Can you give me an even bigger smile?

Anything for GJ!  Cheeeeeeeeeese!

Now that’s a big smile!  Ok, how about a cheer for her birthday?

Hip Hip Hooray!

Hip Hip Hooray!!!

Hooray for GJ indeed!!  Happy Birthday, GJ!  Hope it’s a GREAT day!

We love you!
