Home Sweet Home
I realized the other night that I had completely spaced on putting up pics of our new place! The were really all taken when we first moved in, so things have come a little further (and become slightly messier, ha)... but at least you get the idea!

So distracted.
I've been super ADD recently. I just can't focus. And I finally take some time to update the ol' blog and get horribly distracted reading everyone else's blogs... suddenly its 10pm and I have to force myself to actually focus on the task at hand and update! Life has been BUSY! I guess I kind of like it that way, though as I get more and more pregnant I'm finding myself getting pretty exhausted at the end of every day.
Mother's day was beautiful and I woke up to a yummy breakfast and my gorgeous gift from my loves hanging on our lower patio:
Beautiful, right?! I am loving them! In fact, I'll take this opportunity to say that I am completely, 100% head over heels in love with our home. Not just the material part of our home, but everything we're building as a family here. I love being in the backyard with Matt at the barbecue, rose bushes all around, bougainvilleas in full bloom over the fountain, Kate playing on her trike... its almost unreal sometimes. Just when I think I could be complaining about something, God reminds me that I have more things to be thankful for than I can even count.
I dared to attempt snapping a good picture of Kate for my mom for M-day and after a few rounds of peek-a-boo and some silly noises, was able to get just one to have a float wrap made for her!
The float wrap is soooo cool and now I am trying to pick some photos to have a bunch made for the main wall in our living room. Part of me wants to wait until I have some photos of our new addition, but I can always add more later, right?
We're almost at 30 weeks pregnant now and it's time for the every-two-week doctor's appointments now. I remember that with Kate, that was when it became really real. They were keeping an eye on me- and it wouldn't be much longer. While a few weeks back I was totally gun-ho about starting the nursery, I have now done a 180. Oops. Guess I should've jumped on it while I had it in me. With everything else that has been going on, I just haven't gotten there yet. The paint is purchased and sitting in the garage, the sewing machine and fabric are on the table waiting for me to fire it up and the pieces of the mobile are ready to put together... just.need.motivation. It's been so perfect outside that it is so much more appealing to sit on the patio with my Matt and talk after Kate goes to bed, than to sit inside and sew.
Speaking of Matt, we got to take our first trip away this past week! In 2.5 years, we've never left Kate overnight. I've been gone, but he's been with her and vice versa, but never together. So we took our little escape to Dana Point on Monday & Tuesday and it was fabulous! We spent hours just sitting by the pool, napping and being toddler free. I'll be honest- we missed her a lot, but it was great to take some time to be husband & wife instead of mommy & daddy for a few days. It was a great reminder that we need to make date night a priority!
So all in all, things are busy- but in a good way! Next on the agenda: name this baby! Hmm... any suggestions? ;-)
