Deal with the Devil...errr my Husband

So YEARS ago, I made a deal with my husband. It sounded like this.

"Honey, I need a new house, if we get a new house we can talk about getting you a hunting dog, AS LONG AS the house has a fenced in yard & kennel for the dog OUTSIDE."

So, we moved into our dream house on May 14th, 2010.

By Mid-June we had a swing set for the babies.

By Mid-July we had a fence.

I thought this was all great! Life was good.

By Late-July we had a dog kennel. Whoa we move fast, right?

By Late-August we HAVE A DOG. Holy s*it! Oh & did I mention that by Late-September we will have a new baby?

To have to explain why I have a constant headache and am getting cold sores would be pitiful. I think we all know where they are coming from.

So this 'Dog' is very cute. She is a puppy. Everyone loves a puppy! Her name is Kimber & she is 7 weeks old. During all this I am also in FULL BLOWN pre-baby nesting. FULL BLOWN. And there are dog toys, dog kennels/crates, dogs, dog hair (which I also requested a new steam vac & Dyson Pet Vac to take care - and my husband happily obliged).

Other than the stress of the timing of all this...she has been a great little pup. And isn't she cute?!

9 Weeks & Counting!

We are 9 weeks pre-new-baby! And can not wait! I am feeling great...except for I currently lost my ankles again today...if you see my ankles running around having fun w/out me, please steer them back in my direction! And perhaps explain to them.....KANKLES ARE NOT CUTE! My blood pressure has been great (LOW) this time around, so I am hoping this swelling isn't a pre-cursor to high blood pressure induced bed-rest! That was a very lame month of my life.

We have ultrasound #4 next week, which I am so thrilled about!!! We never got to see Olivia at this stage in my tummy! The docs have also been so hit & miss (probably due to all the ultrasound readings) w/ our due date - we are on #3 that it will be nice to get a better date from the measurements next week!

I have been busily getting my house ready/nesting/whatever you call it for baby! Which means SOON I will post some 'real' pics of our lives in our new home! Until recently it hasn't been 'our home' with 'our stuff'. But we are getting close!

Here are a few pics of our fun summer!

Bathtime fun! Jacuzzi's & Bubbles!


Fishing w/ Daddy...or eating snacks while Daddy fishes!


So thirsty!

Filling up her pool!
