Quality Time

Lately B and I have been spending as much time with Aiden as possible. We both took off Friday and spent the day with him.

We went to the zoo Friday morning. Aiden wanted to see the elephants, sea lion show, and lions. We went straight to the elephants and sea lion show. He loved them both and of course I was too caught up on watching him that I didn't snap hardly any pictures. This year the zoo added another exhibit with a splash pad and Aiden was in heaven. I had to snap a few quick pictures. Oh fyi we don't just carry around swim trunks, someone gave us a warning to bring them.After the zoo we headed to the mall, my idea of course. But I promised Aiden we would do something a little fun at the mall and boy was he excited to do the Spider Jump.

After the mall we went to stay with my grandmother for the night and spend time with her before the family reunion on Sat. Aiden loves staying with her anytime possible so he talked all day about going to her house. When we got there she had her rollers in. She has worn these same rollers since I was a little girl and she put us all in them atleast once. So of course Aiden had to have his turn. :) Sat and Sun were just as much fun as Friday but of course no pictures. :)

So our family loves Sushi. We have a great Japanese place in town that we visit often. Aiden has decided lately he wants to master the chopsticks. So we started with the kiddy chopsticks and he did quite well I believe. What do you think?
You can spare me the reasons on eating raw fish while pregnant, I know and I don't do it! :)

BLOG HELP PLEASEE

Can any of you blog geniuses out there help me with what is up with the spacing and bold letters on my post?? I can't figure it out. I've tried everything. Also I would like to know how to make an individual listing for each of my family member on the far left hand bar, any help as to how??

23 week update

23 Weeks Total Weight Gain: not sure I want to know

Maternity Clothes: YES

Gender: still a girl I suppose

Movements: All the time. She kicks so hard it makes me sick sometimes. She is most active in the afternoon and at night.

Sleep: I wake up about 3-4 times a night.

Cravings: this past week it has been Chicken Rotel (which I ate last night and today for lunch)

Best Moment This Week: Getting her some new clothes.

As fun as it has been buying clothes for her, it has been equally as sad getting rid of Aiden's clothes. Until this weekend, I had not sold one single thing of Aiden's. I had NO idea I had this many clothes for him from newborn- 2T but my goodness its alot. This is a picture of Ansley's bedroom floor filled with Aiden's too small clothes. They are from one side of the room, to the other. The boxes are still what was unboxed.

If you know anyone needing boys clothes newborn-2T, send them my way. We can't finish Ansley's room until this floor is cleaned out!

July 4th weekend

We had a great weekend. We have done the same thing the past 3 years. We spent Saturday at my moms with my family and cousins. Then Sunday and Monday in Brandons home town visiting friends and family.My mom had the waterslide at her house and it was so much fun for the kids.

Aiden learned to play a little ladder golf and was actually good!

We went swimming and Aiden was so proud of himself for "remembering" how to jump off the diving board. He loved it!

happy Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL MOM!!!

Thanks for being the best mom, gram, and friend! LOVE YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF MY BEST FRIEND, BETH!!!

We have been best friends for 10 years now. Love you!!

*Beth is pregnant in the pic above which is why I added one from 5 years ago too!*

21 weeks

21-22 weeks

I'm actually closer to 22 weeks than 21, sorry! *I have a horrible sinus infection so sorry about the horrible pic!*

Total Weight Gain: 10 lbs. YIKES!!!

Maternity Clothes: Yes mostly.

Gender: GIRL- I asked for another ultrasound and the doc said the tech felt confident so there wasn't any reason for me to have another. We may go to a local ultrasound clinic and just pay for an ultrasound so Aiden can see her too (good excuse huh?).

Movements: I've actually been able to see it this week. She went crazy during the fireworks this weekend!

Sleep: Not good at all, mainly because of this horrible sinus infection I have.

Cravings: Nothing specific, I will just eat anything.

Stretch Marks: It's becoming more evident that I do have new stretch marks.

Best Moment this week: Seeing her move.

I have really grown this week as you can tell. Today Aiden went to the doctor with me and was SO excited to hear Ansley's heartbeat. Her heartbeat is still in the 160's, it was 161 today. My belly is measuring exactly on schedule!
