Spring has sprung!



What a great weekend!! The weather was beautiful!

Friday night we went to a Club Crawl! It was a lot of fun! Our friends Roger and Tricia invited us. We we to the three country clubs in Rockford for drinks (water for me!) and appetizers! A bus took us to each place! It was a really nice time!

Saturday we were up early and enjoying the weather! Had to head to Lowe's. I think we are there each weekend! Got some things to do yard work! As we were leaving I noticed some of our flowers are coming up! (picture above) It rained a little on Saturday afternoon so we decided to move inside and do work! We started getting rid of the wallpaper in our hallway! It is the last of the wallpaper in our house!! :) Brian is finishing it up right now! We will probably paint next weekend! Axle and Atlas are such big helpers with all the home projects! We usually end up missing a few things and find Axle chewing on them in the yard!
We have a baby shower today for a couple that is due with their first baby in just a few weeks! We are moving right along too....the picture above was taken saturday. I am 23 weeks today! We had a Dr's appt last week and everything was looking great!!

Happy Easter!














I hope everyone had a nice Easter! Brian and I went to my parents house for the weekend and had a great time! We both had half days on Friday so it was nice to get there earlier than we normally do!

Little Baby G got her first Easter gifts!! She got a basket with all sorts of cute things in it! A few dresses, a stuffed pink bunny and some toys! This little girl is already very spoiled! She also got a few other gifts from friends: her first pair of Crocs (bright pink), her first Purdue t-shirt, and a super cute "Life is Good" onesie and blanket.

I felt what has probably been her biggest kick this weekend. It came at about 3am when I was on one of my many trips to the restroom! It actually scared me at first since it was stronger than all the others! I must have woke her up for once!

Hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter weekend!

Happy Friday!


Happy Friday!! I love Friday's!! Brian and I both work a half day today and then we are heading to my parents for Easter weekend!

I love that the weather is getting nicer! I played with the dogs outside for awhile yesterday afternoon! I even noticed some of my flowers are starting to sprout! I then got excited for the tulips in our backyard....then quickly remembered that Axle dug those up last fall! So I guess those won't be popping up this year!

We had a great time at dinner last night! Another couple that joined us are expecting their first baby ( a boy) in about 9 weeks!! It was fun to sit and talk with her about everything we are going through...and then drive our husbands home! :)

We had a great week!Brian finally got to feel Baby G kick! She is usually active more in the morning.....we need to work on that! :) We go back to the Dr next Wednesday! The million dollar question at the moment is "Do you have a name picked out?".....No, we don't! We probably won't pick one out until we see her!

I hope everyone has a great weekend and a wonderful Easter! It looks like the weather is going to be nice! I sure hope so! I don't want anymore snow!

Happy birthday to Brian!! I gave him his gifts last night and he liked all of them!! Especially his new pair of Chaco's! He's mildly obsessed with these flip-flops! :) He also really like his Grill Master cookbook! He loves to grill in the summer!

We are going to dinner tonight at one of his favorite restaurants, Five Forks. He will probably get the crab cakes! He swears they are the best!!

Axle and Atlas-




Here are our two doggies...

Welcome!!




Welcome to my blog!! With family and friends spreading from the Atlantic to the Pacific I thought this would be the best way to keep everyone up to date!! I will try and update this as much as possible!

We found out early December we would become parents in 2009...August 16th is the due date! Brian and I are absolutely thrilled and can't wait to meet our little girl!!! Yes, we found out "It's a Girl!!" on St. Patricks Day! I had a feeling from the beginning it was a girl! Brian is so cute and said he is starting the wedding fund right now!! He is going to be such a great dad!

I think our dogs will have somewhat of an adjustment come August! We have two dogs-

Atlas, who is our 6 year old Corgi and Axle, who is our 10 month old black Lab! Atlas is such a good big brother but definetly doesn't love sharing the attention! Axle on the other hand....well he is a handful! I think he is really prepping us to become parents! We pretty much have the house already babyproofed due to his curious nature! They are both going to be such good helpers when the baby arrives!! :)
