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!

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 ;)

Coming Into the Third Trimester

That whole cute idea I had, the one with the weekly chalk boards (of which I think I nailed every week with Landon's pregnancy and came in strong with Odessa's pregnancy given I was sick the whole) has completely gone by the wayside. I have no idea where my time goes. Some of these days with a three and a half year old and a week shy of a one year old seem like bedtime will never come. But the weeks, the months, and now the year have flown by.

I can't even say we're busy with anything exciting. Just busy with keeping those precious being out of danger and keeping smiles on their faces. They can drive me crazy but I sure do love them!!

I feel like I blinked and am coming into the third trimester. This pregnancy hasn't been as easy as Landon's but has been SO much better than Odessa's. I don't feel sick as long as I remember to take my diclegis. I am tired but still manage to get through the day on a whopping one serving of caffeine... amazing! I miss my wine like crazy but soon enough I'll be partaking in wine drinking obsession soon enough. 

So much is happening in the next couple of weeks/months. Odessa will be ONE in ONE week!!! WHAT?!?! I'm pretty sure I had her like four months ago. The party is just about done being prepped for and I can't wait to share pictures from her day!

And I promise I'll try and post as many updates as I can in these last few months before we are officially a family of five!
