20 weeks pregnant

I made it!! I'm half way though this pregnancy. It's so crazy to think that baby will be here in this world in 5 months. I'm not going to lie I'm a little sad that this is the last time I will be pregnant but I'm very glad that we are able to have one more! I'm all about having a big family! More to LOVE!!!

I'm feel pretty well. Someday I have lots of energy and I love cooking and cleaning but most of them time I'm really tired. I'm really showing now because I have people asking me when I'm due.
Matthew talks about he new baby that is coming! Its so exciting for him! I think he is going to be a big help!! Brooklynn talks about baby I think just because Matthew talks about it but it's cute she would kiss my belly! I feel so lucky to have two wonderful little ones and so excited to bring one more into our family!!
Most know but we aren't finding out the sex of the baby this time around. It has been really hard because that means I can't do any kind of shopping for new baby clothes which we are in need of because we sold all newborn and 3 months clothing. It's also really hard because baby's room is going to be a tan color until we know the sex of the baby and then we will paint the bottom half of the wall pink or blue!

In the long run I think it will be fun to find out at the very end and calling family and friends and telling them the sex of the little one!! What a fun surprise for everyone!

Here is the picture David took of me today. I'm almost 21 weeks in the picture but It's close enough!!



BOY OR GIRL That is the qustion?!?!

Painting Bird houses for our birds outside

The kids and I went to the craft store to get stuff so they could paint bird houses. They really enjoyed painting them. Brooklynn loved it so much she started to yell at me when I had to clean her up. It was so crazy how much she loved this. Matthew is not much of a art kid but he really enjoyed doing this too! It was so much fun watching them enjoy this! Our next project is painting flower pots and putting herds into them!! They are so excited!

By the way they got there balloon hats at the new fred meyers by our house that just opened up! They had really fun clowns there and the kids got these! Brooklynn hated the clown so much she wouldn't look at them at all but she loved her elmo hat! Matthew thought the clowns were so cool!! He thinks they are there every time we go now! :)

Spring Time

We had a nice weekend a few weeks ago and we thought It would be fun to get Matthew and Brooklynn some water toys. David came a cross this slip and slide. Matthew just loved this thing! It was so cute to watch him!
The best part was David showing Matthew had to do it! I didn't get a picture of David trying it out but It was sure funny!!!

My 28th Birthday

Wow what a good birthday I had! I feel so very blessed! We started the morning off with a breakfast and then headed down to pike place market! This is my favorite place of all times! Matthew saw a guy who makes fun balloons so we went over there and asked for a baseball bat but he couldn't make one so he made Matthew a sword! We walked over to the chocolate store and I got a chocolate marshmallow and Matthew picked out a marshmallow with  MandM's on it! He was in heaven even though he couldn't eat it all. We headed back to pike place and I got to get my flowers before we heading back to the car to drop our things off and head to Red Robin for lunch! We all had a really good time walking around looking at all the different things!
After we got home and rested for a little while David and I went out to dinner at  Palisade. Wow this place was amazing! Everything we had was so good! We even got two desserts and they both were so yummy! Sweet are my weakness right now :). I had the best time with just David and I. We was so nice to have adult time without kids yelling! Thank you to my mother in law Judy for watching the kids for us so we could enjoy us time!!
I have a few pictures from our day. I forgot my camera at dinner so no pictures of the pretty place.

Thank You to my amazing husband for making my birthday so special! I truly feel so very blessed with how you make me feel so important! I love this man so much! Thank You God for bring him into my life! God truly knew that I need this man in my life! Big Blessing!

Old and New! David got me the new keurig coffee maker! I'm in love with it! They also got me a new movie and CD and a bigger water tumbler from starbucks!

Every time we go to Pike Place we get these yummy fruit stick things. They are to dye for! We could eat them all!

Ingredients:

Pot Roast 2 or 3 pounds
3 cubes beef bullion
3Tbsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
1 can beef broth for liquid
1  cup shredded carrots ( I didnt do this but you can)

Directions:
1. Cut roast into fist size chunks and place in crock pot 2. Mix beef broth, bullion cubes, garlic, cayenne pepper, cumin, oregano, and pepper together. Once mixed together, pour evenly over roast.3. Sprinkle shredded carrots throughout the crock pot 4. Cook in crock pot on high for 3-4 hours then switch to low until ready to eat. The longer you cook it the more tender it will get.Enjoy!

I know it dosen't look so good by this picture but trust me it's really yummy!

17 weeks

I hit 17 weeks on May 1st! I'm getting so close to half way done in the pregnancy. It's so crazy how fast it's going. I'm sad that it's going so fast because this will be our last :*(.

I'm feeling good but besides being tired all the time. I think it's because I'm trying to keep up with the other two I have running around. Whew!

We saw the doctor yesterday and baby is growing well! Heart rate was at 145!! I feel so blessed every time I hear that little heartbeat!

On May 14th we will be doing EKG on baby to keep track of his/hers heartbeat. We will have them done every one to two weeks. Whew that's a lot of ultrasounds but I'm excited to see the baby a lot more! We could also find out the sex of the baby this day but we are going to hold off and wait until baby is born. It's really going to be so hard to wait but It's going to be so much fun to find out at the end and then tell all our friends and family! I'm hoping with all the ultrasounds that they can keep it from us :)!

Baby and mommy at 17 weeks!
