19 Weeks with Baby Number 4!

I promised myself at the beginning of this pregnancy that I would document it better. I have very few pictures of myself while pregnant with Billy, a handful while pregnant with Odessa and a bunch while I was pregnant with Landon. Each pregnancy that passes I have a decreased amount of time that I seem to focus on me, doing things that mean the most to me and capturing moments that go by so darn fast!

But this pregnancy will be different! A promise to myself and for me! 

The beginning of this pregnancy was rocky... I did not feel good at all and it was very reminiscent of my pregnancy with Odessa (which was horrible). Diclegis, zoforan, ginger ale and saltines brought me back to life. Now well into the second trimester I am feeling great! 

I noticed that little bump and thought now would be a good time to get those creative juices flowing and capture this time! 

Later this week I go in for my 20 week ultrasound. Can't wait to see this precious babe!

Baby Billy Turns One!

I skipped over a lot of what has been going on with our sweet family lately. I've said it once and I'll say it again but I swear I am going to be better about blogging. Starting with my sweet babies first birthday party! I'll post more about life lately soon, but for now here are some pictures from Baby Billy's Vintage Baseball themed First Birthday Party :)
Of course vintage baseball was the theme. We had our friends and family come wearing their teams clothing. It was a fabulous afternoon with hotdogs, hamburgers, peanuts, sunflower seeds and everything else baseball!
I can't believe my baby will be ONE tomorrow!

Miss O is 18 Months

Last but not least, in that one week that all my kids hit milestones, my sweet little girl turned 18 months.

I could go on forever about this little girl. She is at the age where you really really get to know what kind of personality they're going to have. This little girl is stubborn as all get out (no idea where she gets that from). She is set in her ways and there is no persuading her otherwise, except for maybe with food. She is becoming a total girly girl. She LOVES accessories. Bows, sunglasses and necklaces. As I write this I am thinking I need to get this girl a purse! She is beyond sweet when she wants to be. Kisses, hugs, cuddling and being so attentive to her brothers. She is the first to point something out if it is out of the norm. A door left open, a cupboard left unlocked is ran too followed by many "oh-oh's!" She is letting go of me more and more. I am so grateful for this as it truly makes my life easier but I honestly miss being her person and not just her person, but her only person. She loves her daddy! He leaves for work while she is still sleeping and when we go back into our room she goes to his side of the bed and says "dada?" She's also really good about going around the house and finding things that belong to her daddy then brings them to me screaming "daddddyyyyyy!" She adores both of her brothers. Landon is truly her best friend. I swear watching the two of them play together melts this mama's heart into a bazillion little pieces. She loves holding her baby brother. She'll climb up onto the couch and make noises and pat her lap until you give her the baby. I love watching her grow and explore. And just like every other time I sit and write anything, I'll say it again, but time is just going by way to damn fast.

A Vintage Baseball Themed Baby Shower

This weekend my mother-in-law threw me the cutest "Vintage Baseball Themed" baby shower brunch. It was very small and intimate and it was oh so special. We met at this adorable nursery that also has a cafe (with some of the yummiest food EVER!) and noshed on a delicious brunch. I was surprised with a touching-as-all-get-out book that included a letter or acronym of baby boys name from each of the women in my family. So incredibly special! And the cake was beyond cute!! and D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!

I can't believe we are just a few short weeks away from meeting our little guy. Still so much to do, pretty much everything! But hoping to get a lot of it done this week. I guess I'm still waiting on that burst of energy and my other two littles to lose some of theirs ;)
