Jonah's First Hunting Trip






The DH and I went hunting with his buddies. I had a blast and apparently Jonah did too because he was going crazy the whole time! He's worn out though been pretty lazy and quiet today :)



A few pics up above.

28 weeks, 2 days


Everyone still can't believe how small I am but I feel huge lol :)

6 weeks later a post!






























I'm back and with pictures galore!


Sorry it's been a while. I've been super busy the past 6 weeks. We finally got the nursery furniture and it's basically done. I still want to buy pictures frames and wall decor but if we brought Jonah home tomorrow it would be functional. My best friend had her little boy Robert Matthew last Tuesday. He is beautiful and I am so excited for them! It kind of freaked me out though and made me realize that in less than 3 months I will have an infant of my own!


We also had Jonah's 3D/4D last Tuesday and the little stinker had his face in my uterus most of the time but we got a few good shots. He looks just like his daddy :) I can't wait to see him outside the womb though. I'm getting more impatient each day. I'm really looking forward to January because I start childbirth classes and I have my shower. Every day it gets more exciting!

23 weeks and the nursery is painted!

I'm 23 weeks and 2 days today! Another week down! It seems like time is flying and I'm really trying not to rush my pregnancy away but I love seeing the weeks move by quickly!  Yesterday my mom and I painted the nursery while Alam is out of town.  I figured this would be best since my mom is an excellent painter and he might have freaked out about the color.  It is very green but I love it and it matches the bedding perfectly.  If you are curious what color it is "asparagus" by Behr.  It looks sooo good.  Now I'm just itching even more to get the furniture.  I'm such a nut I just stare at the room during the day.  It literally glows compared to the rest of our neutral house.  I can't wait for Alam to see it and hopefully love it as much a I do :)

Election Day

Voting today was odd.  I wasn't just voting for my usual concerns or my own political views but for the views of my son.  The first time I voted wasn't really that important to me because I just had me to worry about.  This year was definitely different.  I thought about where my family will be next year and how each presidential candidate would affect our lives.  I voted for Jonah's future today and not only my own.  It made me proud and it also made me emotional.  I hope that no matter who is elected that God guides them to lead our country into something better and all that America is supposed to be.

I am so overwhelmed.



















I've been in BRU a thousand times in the past 4 months and still somehow I was completely overwhelmed when Alam and I went to register yesterday.  He was in a trance and I could see the panic in his face!  He was like "we have to buy all this for the baby?"  I think all he could see was dollar signs everywhere haha.  We looked at nursery furniture and pretty much decided on a collection.  Then we started the registry but really just added big items such as the stroller, carseat, swing, play yard, etc.  I told him I would take care of the rest either by adding online or bringing a friend back to the store.  All in all it was a short but productive trip.  I'm just glad to have at least started the registry now I can finish it.  I am still completely overwhelmed by what I need! I hope my shower is a great one!
