Halloween 2011

This year I was so excited for Halloween because we had a new baby and EVERY excuse to dress up!!

Now, I instantly knew what Eric and Seth were going to be but I had a really hard time deciding how I would fit into the equation!

These were my inspiration!

And here we are :D

I made my entire costume and came up with Eric and Seths also!

Me and Toadette

Eric and Seth

Seth and I

Eric and I

We didnt do a whole lot, we went to lunch at Red Robin, took Seth to the doctor, watched movies and football and handed out candy! A great first halloween for Seth if you ask me, I cant wait for next year!!!!

Pumpkin Carving!

So I figured I should try and keep up with this blog now that Seth is here! I am going to try my hardest and one of these days, Ill fill you in on the last 8 weeks! Yes thats right, Seth is 8 weeks old already! Time is flying by and it really needs to slow way way down. We carved pumpkins tonight and it was so much fun! Here are a few pics :)

ENJOY!!

Seth staring at the lights like usual!

Clearly pissed about this pumpkin carving nonsense!

10 things...

I woke up today in a really really crappy mood...and I was being super grumpy! So grumpy, that I was in fact going to write a post on things that are annoying to me right now...

BUT

I decided to try and make a positive out of a negative and do a post on:

There! 10 things that make me happy, now I feel better and I hope your having a better day than me!

Behold the baby bump!

I am now 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant! Crazy how time flies and how fast its going!

I've managed to loose almost 30 POUNDS (which im trying to gain weight but am having a hard time!)

So if you knew me before you will see i've lost weight but my tummy is HUGE!

My great grandma told my mom that God told her to pray for two babies

so maybe its twins lol!!!!

What to eat, what to eat?!? So many choices!

OK NOT REALLY!!!

I have been pregnant for almost 12 WEEKS now, can you believe it?!? I can't! so I can because I have had to joy of the most amazing morning sickness ever (note the sarcasm please!!!!)

So awesome in fact that I have managed to loose 22 whole pounds which have my midwives concerned so now Im at the doctors every week until I out a few back on.

Thank you baby! 

Since I am so sick due to the fact that everything grosses me out, I am down to a handful of things that I can manage to eat without throwing up! Making progress slowly lol! So here they are in no order:

CEREAL WITH MILK!!! 

My favorites these days are Capn Crunch and honey bunches of oats. I eat cereal every morning for breakfast and usually one other time of the day.

J-E-L-L-O!

Now this isnt my first choice but I keep it down so I eat it, DAILY!

MINI BAGELS with CREAM CHEESE

I could eat these all day long...THE END

POP TARTS!

I have hated pop tarts my entire life, I used to only eat my sisters crust because she loved the middle, now though, I cant get enough but dont worry Ive only eaten one box

YOGURT

Raspberry to be exact, it takes me a while to get through one thing but I manage.

I have never had a hard time with food until now and it literally takes every bone in my body to eat on a daily basis. I am blogging about this purely so I can remember it when my child is older. I am hoping that things start getting better soon so I can be more healthy for the growing baby inside me!

Maternity Clothes...

While I am only 10 weeks pregnant and have lost probably close to 15 pounds from being so sick all the time, my pants seem to have gotten to where they dont fit. I have noticed this for the past week or so but figured it was way WAY to soon to buy maternity clothes.

After some serious research (ok not that serious) I learned that every body is different and some people show sooner than others. I think the fact that I already have a some what fluffy stomach, it has started to turn more round lol! I figured that it would be a breeze to find something,

but boy was I SO wrong!!!!!

I was surprised at how many places dont carry maternity clothes in store at least around here! (thanks Sears and JC Penneys!) I found a pair at target but of course when I go back to buy them they werent there! Just my luck! I begged Eric to drive me to the next town over and we got super lucky at OLD NAVY!!!! Not only did they only have one pair in my size but it was also military discount day! THank goodness!

So from here I ask you,

Where have you had the most luck with Maternity clothes and how far along were you when you made the switch?

Next time Ill be taking a trip to Fort Collins where there are plenty of place to buy maternity clothes!

a mini MONJE....

WELL PART OF THE REASON I HAVE BEEN M.I.A IS THANKS TO THE LITTLE CRITTER INSIDE ME!! THATS RIGHT PEOPLE, WE ARE GOING TO BE PARENTS AND HAVE OUR OWN LITTLE BABY AT THE END OF AUGUST EARLY SEPTEMBER AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.

 I HAVE BEEN SUPER SUPER SICK AND IT HAS MADE LIFE KIND OF TOUGH. WE HAD OUR FIRST ULTRASOUND TODAY AND IT WAS SO AWESOME TO SEE THE LITTLE HEART GOING A MILLION MILES A MINUTE AND THE LITTLE BABY.

SO, IM ALREDY TAKING A POLL, 

BOY OR GIRL?!?!?!

AND PLEASE PRAY AND SEND US GOOD THOUGHTS THAT THINGS CONTINUE TO GO WELL FOR THE BABY AND THE NEXT 3 WEEKS FLY BY SO IM IN MY 2ND TRIMESTER!!

Finally!!!!!

WELL FRIENDS,

TODAY ERIC AND I CLOSED ON OUR VERY FIRST HOME!!!!

I COULDNT BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT IT AND ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS HAPPENING!

SO IT ALSO MEANS I WONT HAVE MY COMPUTER UP AND RUNNING UNTIL WEDNESDAY.

THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT I CANT WAIT TO POST PICTURES!!!

A little prayer please

Now I know Im slacking on my blog big time but Ive been busy,

any way, Please please please say a prayer for Eric and I as we continue our home buying journey as we are almost done but we have gotten to a bump in the road that could make or break buying all together.

So please a prayer fingers crossed whatever it is you believe in! Thank you and I promise to blog soon!!

Letters To Random

Dear House,

Thank you for passing the inspection today with only minor problems so that we can still move along in the buying process! I love you so much and I cant wait to make you our own.

Dear VA (Veterans Administration),

Please please please hurry up with the appraisal process so we can move along and close on our house. Im dying to get out of where I'm living and I'm patiently waiting the best that I can.

Dear Husband,

Thank you for all you do and supporting me during this time of me not working. You are so funny and know how to always make me laugh. I don't know where I would be without you.

Dear Roommate, who shall remain nameless but is not related to me or my husband,

Why must you insist on being so rude?!?! I have been nothing but nice to you but you insist on being disrespectful and not to mention you keep stealing my tampons. I understand it shouldn't be a big deal but to me it is. And maybe if you were nicer I wouldn't care. I pray for you all the time that you will get nicer but I dont think its working.

Dear Liz's DISGUSTING chocolate chip cookies (which are in fact not disgusting),

Thank you for being so disgusting because I am now asked to bake them all the time. And I am pretty sure I've made like 10 batches since Liz gave me the recipe.

Dear Banner Health,

Thank you for hiring me yesterday and I am so excited to start working and I cant wait for the next few weeks to pass by. I will be the best employee ever!

Dear Self,

I am so proud of you for enrolling in college and finding a job. You are going to be a busy girl here soon enough and it will be awesome.

Love Always and Forever,

Kaylee

Day nine!

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most

Well this was easy...its of course my momma! With out her I wouldnt be who I am at all. I love her with all of my being and miss being so far away from her more than words can explain. I am so lucky to have a mother who is always there for me no matter what time of day or night. Shes not afraid to put me in my place when she knows I'm wrong. I love how close she and Eric are and its so great that he turns to her as well. I am so much like my mother its crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way! love you mom!!

Day EIGHT!!!

Day 8- A picture that makes you laugh.

Liz and I back in the college days before husbands and in her case babies!

Day 7...

Day 07 - A picture that shows your true self.

Well this one was a little hard for me because I don't think that one picture can show my true self so I added a few!

Happiest being a sister

Being SiLlY!!
