Happy Thanksgiving

My Thanksgiving day... I woke up this morning to the sound of two dogs wrestling on the bed at 0630. I got up and prepared to put as many warm clothes on as possible to take them outside in the frigid Wisconsin morning temp of 20*. Luckily my Mom was already up and wanted to take them for me. I had some Cheerios with banana, a piece of toast, and some orange juice. Oh yeah and a frosted Christmas cookie from Piggly Wiggly... Good way to start a day of grazing. I helped make some corn bread and sausage stuffing, cut and cleaned celery to stuff with cheese, cut carrots, chopped onion and celery perfectly in a fine dice (Jared would be so proud), helped with the cherry pie by sampling the cherries, and peeled a million potatoes! I also celebrated my birthday with my parents. i got to open presents early, i now have pants that fit without using my hair tie to hold the button closed and i have shirts that are really made for pregnant women not just what is in style in size Large. Thanks Mom and Dad! I will be having cherry pie tonight for my birthday cake, i may just skip dinner and eat the pie and whip cream. Jared is in Texas celebrating with his family, we just missed each other on Thursday morning. I had planned to drive to Wisconsin with my Dad because i had the dogs and i didn't want to put them in the kennel and there was no way I was flying with them. Jared was suppose to be underway until the middle of December, but his boat was told to come in early. It just didn't workout this year for us to be together for Thanksgiving. We really miss him! The dogs will be very happy to see him, and so will I! Hopefully he doesn't mind a big belly hug. Happy Thanksgiving! I am Thankful that I have such a great family and such great support and love from all. Oh and very thankful for stretchy pants! I bet you all wish you had some maternity pants today.

Belly 23 Weeks

Thanks Elisa

Can You Find Chester??

My friend Elsia gave me two huge boxes of baby clothes, Chester decided it would make a good bed.

Target Practice

I would say that the scope was pretty much right on since I shot 3 almost in the same spot. Shooting the bulls eye is overrated anyway.

Sleep

I took this with my phone, but if my Dad had the camera there would have been quite a few of me just like this. Its just part of hunting.

Deer Season Wisconsin

Opening morning 1030 first deer of the season! Button buck, maybe more to come...

Sunday Morning Breakfast

I have to admit there were 4 pancakes but i had to test one out right away! I am getting ready for my Dad's breakfast's in Wisconsin, he really goes all out! 3 more days!

The Best Lotion Ever!

ST. Ives is really great anyway but this has become my favorite ever! It smells so good, not greasy, it's for your face but i use it all over, and best of all it is so cheap! Seriously go now and get it before i buy all of it.

So I Broke Down Just A Little

I had to get this before Mobile area stopped selling warm stuff... March is still cold here believe it or not so i wanted to get something to bring her home in. Oh and it had to have ears on it.

Folding Griddle

Officially Almost A MOM

We got this in the mail today, wedding present?? thanks Pamela Harrell! Jared's Mom always tells me that when you have a bunch of hungry kids that want pancakes or grilled cheese you have to have one of these! Well we have one now so a check in that box.

Sunday Morning After Church Treats

I love donuts! They might actually last me until later in the week... or maybe not. Did i mention they are diet? um yeah because they make a ton of diet donuts in the South...

Chester's New Winter Outfit

He is closing his eyes hoping that it is all a bad dream!

Cowboys vs. Packers

Our child will be so confused...

Jared Left For 30 Days...

Chester wishes that he can get packed up too, he knows when Jared or me are leaving and he will not get out of our stuff. Can't imagine what it will be like with a child!

She Isn't Very Shy

We were not even in the room 5 minutes and we already got the news, she didn't want to keep us guessing!

Little Baby Girl 20 Weeks

We went for our 20 week ultrasound today, IT'S A BABY GIRL!!!!

Today is the BIG Day!

So in a little under 2 hours we will find out what the sex of our baby is... I did not sleep at all last night, and i decided it would be fun to barf all my Mexican food up just before bed. I have a pretty big day today, not only do we have our 20 week ultasound but I have my advancement test for the Coast Guard at 1:00. Jared is making me some breakfast so I can start my day off right. I am having a bagel with some WI bacon, over hard egg, and cheese. YUM and a glass of choc. milk.
