Bertha

While waiting to have my ultrasound done, we wandered into a arcade.

Which had this game...

speechless.

And it's for sale.

Feed Big Bertha could be yours.
And when you throw food in her mouth...her belly gets bigger. Bonus.

Caterpillars

We read a story and they made their very own caterpillars.
Ayden and his best friend had so much fun.

1 & nesting

(this picture is in honor of Halloween & my love for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups)


Well friends I am at a 1!!! Eeeee!

Without going into all the specifics...I'm pretty sure you know what the 1 means.


Which is... we are well on our way to brining our beautiful boy into this world!


I don't think I could be anymore excited!!!



Ps...

I've been nesting like a mad woman!

If you feel like organizing, come over and keep me company!

A safe place

35 weeks pregnant...
and life has really made a drastic shift in our family.

Right now, my ever ballooning body and tired mind is carrying a pretty heavy load.
I have my family on my shoulders, determined to make it through this rough spot.

I believe every family goes through these times.
Times where your partner needs your shoulder to lean on, to be their rock.
Where you see them vulnerable and open.
In need of so much love and understanding.
A safe place.

When I said my vows before my husband, before God...that is what I promised.

"In sickness and in health...
To love and to cherish..."

I question my strength though, but would never say that to him.
I am not the strongest person in the world.
I would be the squirrel in the forest full of bears.

But this squirrel will do everything in her power not to let anything happen to her family.

Top 5

(fffound)

1) Ayden told his dad last night to "warm him up" instead of "tuck me in."



2) Brandon gave me a huge hug this morning because he had a dream that I cut off my hands and fed them to his turtle.

He asked me never to do that...

and I promised.



3) My husband came home with a new Bible for Brandon and decided we are going to do a family Bible study every night.

I don't think I could have loved him anymore at that moment.

He's pretty amazing!



4) Found the perfect pair of boots at Ross for $16!

Fall please come soon...



5) Finished all my "projects" for Lucas!



Now we just need Lucas to get here!
