25 weeks and the first snow

I had a dr. appt this week. Nothing really new to report. Everything looks good still. Can't believe how fast time is going.

Marley has been asking if it's Christmas yet and when it's going to snow and why it hasn't snowed yet.  I found a chocolate calendar to help her see when it's almost Christmas. She loves it!

That day was a trumpet. 

We finally had our first snow last night. Not a lot at all, but Marley absolutely freaked when she saw it.

Addicted to Pinterest

I've heard everyone talking about Pinterest but never really got it. I finally decided to join and see what all the hype is about. I AM ADDICTED!! There are so many things on there. From recipes to hair bows to organization ideas. I read a blog called Young House Love and they occasionally have Pinterest challenges. They ask their readers to actually do one of the things they have "pinned" Their challenge is what really gave me the push to join. I didn't participate when they had their challenge, but I did decide to do one of my pinned items.

Under my kitchen sink is DISGUSTING!! There is no bottom to the cabinet so everything sits on the concrete floor. Last summer the pipes backed up so the floor is gross, and the wall back there is nasty too. Anyways, I decided my first task would be to utilize my space better. I saw this idea on pinterest and had to give it a shot.

Here's my cabinet. See it's nasty!

After I installed my $3 towel bar from K-Mart

GENIUS! 

There ya have it. Basically it's a $3 towel bar and then you hang spray bottles from it. It took me about 20 minutes, but probably half that time was spent trying to fit comfortably under there to nail the bar up. (My belly is getting in the way a lot more lately)

My goal is to do at least one thing that I pin a week. Next up is an awesome bib for Baby Corn! I will definitely be back with an update on that!

Thanksgiving and 23 weeks

We had a great thanksgiving with both of our families. Here's a few photos.

Mike and the kids playing legos. 

Crazy kids. 

Mike and Marley playing her new keyboard. 

Marley and Mike's dad (aka the grandpa with hair) playing Don't break the ice.

Also last Wednesday marked week number 23!  I decided to do a little comparison this week.

22 weeks and SANTA!

I am currently 22 weeks pregnant. So far I've gained about 15 pounds. I feel pretty good all the time. Though today while at the hardware store I did have to run outside to get some fresh air cause I felt like I was going to pass out. Little boy is kicking away every night.

 I have a little buddy in this picture. Marley just had to get in there at the last second.  Marley has said for months that she hates dresses =(  I had at least 10 dresses that my mom had bought her, I either sold them or gave them back to my mom because Marley refused to wear them.  Well, when Marley said she wanted to go see Santa, I told her she had to wear a dress. She gladly agreed to wear it. After she put it on she even said she likes dresses now.  I know she'll wake up tomorrow and say she hates them again, but for a few hours it was nice to have a little fancy girl in a dress!

That's a Marley original pose

She told Santa she wants a yo-yo for Christmas. Afterwards she told me that Santa is cool.
