Birthday Get Away

I wasn't planning on making a post about our weekend but I decided after I uploaded my pictures I wanted to :)

Ryan and I went downtown and spent the night in the marriott on Saturday for my birthday. We got a room on the 18th floor and the view was beautiful! I have always known how pretty Minnesota is, but seeing it from that view at night was gorgeous. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures I got:

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday! Me and my little man are about to eat some lunch :) Love love ♥

Hello Long lost friends

Wow I can't believe it has been almost a MONTH since I have been on my blog. It has been over a month since we moved into our new home. I only have 10 weeks left in this pregnancy, Joshua is almost 15 months, and I am 22!! Time is just flying by lately.

Our last month has been pretty uneventful, Joshua has been sick for about 3 weeks (FOREVER) so we haven't been getting out and doing much. He finally seems to be getting over it. The last couple days has been only a runny nose and little cough, much better than the fever and icky tummy with the cough and runny nose. I can handle this :)

My birthday was on Friday, and my wonderful husband took me downtown and we stayed in the Marriott for the night and pretended we were rich! My awesome parents took Joshua for the night, so it was just me and Ryan (oh yeah and this boy in my belly that NEVER stops moving). We had a nice dinner at the hotel on Friday night and then just walked through the skyway's a little bit, stopped at a super cute old fashioned candy store and went back to our room and watched a movie. A lot of relaxing happened for this mommy and I LOVED IT! We went out to breakfast Saturday morning, and on the way it was snowing a little, and as we were getting on the highway we spun out a little and crashed into a guard rail. Messed up the front of the truck a little bit, but nothing to serious. It will definitely be a nice chunk of changed to get it fixed tho :( no one was hurt and thats the most important part!

Today we are headed to ryan's parents house for lunch, then to my parents house for my birthday dinner. This is gonna be the best birthday weekend ever because I don't have to cook once! Yay for awesome families :)

I hope everyone is doing wonderful, we finally have the internet at home so I will be on more often updating you all on my oh so exciting life :) I hope to be on tomorrow with a few pictures. It has been too long! Love Love ♥

Just a little MIA

Sorry I haven't been on much, we moved into our new house last Saturday and we don't have any internet yet. We are gonna wait until we pay our first mortgage to get cable, internet, etc. Just to make sure we have all of our finances figured out right. I feel so responsible :)

The move went really well! We got everything moved from Ryan's parents house to our new house in two trips, with 4 vehicles. It went a lot faster than I thought it was going to. Thanks goodness for big families! Now we are in the process of making this townhouse our very first home (that isn't military housing or a rental). I only have about 3-4 boxes left so I think I am doing pretty good unpacking.

I am getting into that "nesting" stage of my pregnancy so it is time to start preparing for this little boy! I feel like I have been pregnant forever. And EEK! (don't tell anyone) I am already in the maternity pants I wore when I was 8 months pregnant with Joshua!! I am barely 6 1/2 months. I feel like a whale already and I have so much longer to go. We are looking for a bassinet, hopefully we can find a great deal on one. I don't want to have two cribs! Joshua will be in a toddler bed within 4-5 months of the baby being born so hopefully a bassinet will work until then.

Well I have so many errands to run, Ryan is working overnights until he is allowed to be on his ankle again (WEDNESDAY!!) so me and Joshie are on our own for the day while he sleeps. I hope everyone is having a great Monday! I will hopefully be back in the next few days with some pictures. I forgot my camera at home today :( have a great week bloggy friends! Love Love ♥

What a week!

Wow this last week has flown by, but is endless all at the same time!

Ryan's surgery was last Wednesday, he is still on the crutches and they want him to be off his ankle for 3 more weeks! I highly doubt that is going to happen, he is a very strong willed man. He started physical therapy and is getting really dizzy every time he has to do the exercises they gave him. The therapists said that it looks like his ankle has the potential for getting infected (Ugh) so we need to watch it closely and if it gets infected then he has to go back in. Pray it stays healthy so he doesn't have to have it reopened and rinsed out.

We are closing on our house next Friday!! I am so excited. We plan on moving the 22nd, at least getting a huge amount of moving done. Hopefully Ryan's work schedule will let us :)

I have been going non-stop the last week, chasing Joshua around, taking care of Ryan and starting to pack up a little. I think I may have over done it, because I woke up this morning with a horribly sore back and not feeling well at all. Today I am going to take it easy (as much as these guys will let me) and hopefully feel better tomorrow!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far Love Love ♥

Week 22

I saw this on a blogger friends (fearfully.wonderfully) page and thought it would be cool to try out :)

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 22 Weeks today
Size of baby: about 1 lb and 14 inches long
Total Weight Gained: 6 lbs
Maternity Clothes: I have been wearing maternity pants for a couple weeks now. I don't own a single maternity shirt. I didn't wear one the whole time I was pregnant with Josh. This is the only time its ok to have a belly, I'm gonna show it off!
Gender: Baby boy #2 is on the way
Movement: This child never stops moving. I feel him pretty much 24 hours a day. Every once in a while he will give me a break, but not very often!
Sleep: I have been sleeping pretty good the last couple nights actually. Having trouble falling asleep, but Ryan is working overnights so I'm pretty sure its the sleeping alone that's causing that. I love my pregnancy pillow!!
What I miss: Energy! My poor little Joshua is getting more and more independent, mostly because I don't have the energy to do everything he wants.
Cravings: Nothing really. Cheese popcorn every once in a while, salad Dr. Pepper are always good :)
How I'm Feeling: Good! No headaches this week, I am finally over this sinus infection so I am feeling wonderful!
Best Moment this week: When Ryan felt little boy move for the first time. He is moving so much!

And now the picture:

Me @ 22 weeks
