Now You're My Whole Life

How Far Along: 38 weeks & 3 Days   Sleep: YES! Much better this week. I haven't been getting up as much through the night!  This Week: It's been a ton of fun and very productive! Since I was later blogging last week, I only have a couple of days to catch up on. Saturday was awesome. It was Kayla (my SIL) and Will's wedding. We had a blast at the rehearsal and lingerie shower on Friday. Kayla got some cute things! Saturday am we went to one of my favorite places...The White House Salon and I got to see my gal Carrie! She was a rockstar as always and hooked me up with awesome hair and makeup. Kris and McCall were there to make us all look our best as well. Kayla was a knockout!!    The wedding was perfect. Details are what I love and they were full of them from the initials on each bridesmaids bouquet, handmade hangers by Kayla, sweet program fans with pictures of parents and grandparents on their wedding day, and the ...

37 weeks pregnant! Wow! How Far Along: 37 weeks & 4 Days   Sleep: Still loading up on my rest. It's not my typical schedule since I wake up around 4, then again around 6 am, and then fall asleep around 10 am. Crazy! Although, I am trying to get in as much now to prepare myself for sweet Vann! This Week: It has been a good/tough week and a busy weekend! The one coming up is full of excitement as well! Ryan and I got in a date night with Ashley and Drew! It was so good to see them. I helped host a great mixer on Friday night. Saturday was jam packed. I got another basket of fruit and veggies from Bountiful Basket early around 8 am, then headed for my last dress fitting for Kayla and Will's wedding. James Douglas' first birthday party was next. He was so happy on his big day. Malorie did a great job planning. Next, it was off to McKenzie and Sean's baby shower with yummy food and fun games. Ryan sent me a picture and it made me so e...

I am 9 months pregnant. Before I got pregnant I thought that pregnancy was ONLY 9 months! Wrong...10 months! How Far Along: 36 weeks & 3 Days   Sleep: It's going! The past two days have been better! Lyla likes to walk in our room around 5:30 am (since I used to get up for work at that time) and tries to wake me up. This morning she put her nose to my back and huffed it on me. What in the world?! Needless to say, I got up and let her outside. She's so sweet I can't get mad, but 5:30 when I didn't fall asleep until after midnight...ugh! Guess I better get used to it! Best Moment This Week: I loved that it was pretty relaxed. We had a cookout with friends, got my dress fitted for Kayla's wedding (have to go back one more time to make sure the hem is right), and enjoyed an awesome baby shower with some of my closest friends! I have held a couple of mixers for my AdvoCare team as well. Yesterday we had our 36 week appointment! The...

It's Friday, so I am linking up with some sweet ladies to share what's on our mind!  ~ONE~ I had a great shopping trip and lunch with my sis. Glad she was off of work and I got out of the house. I think the combo of rain+getting ready for baby+more rain was the culprit! We had fun looking at baby clothes and such! Carter's was having a great sale, so I stocked up on some larger sizes. Who knows how big our boy will be! **I had to get his first holiday onesie!** ~TWO~ Tonight we are headed to a cookout. I always get nervous about what to bring, but this time I am bringing two of my favorites: watermelon and banana pudding. It's not just any banana pudding either, it's Paula Deen's yummy recipe. ~THREE~ The nursery is nearly done, but still has some things that I am stressing over to get done. I think I am the only one worried about it! Ryan's words to me last night..."we have diapers, a place for him to sleep, and milk...

Walking by faith is hard. unsettling. awkward. laborous. unpleasant. challenging. rewarding. beneficial. merciful. humbling. and what God asks us to do every minute. Trust Him and His plan. "The LORD will work out his plans for my life—for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me." Psalm 138:8 (NLT) Have you ever asked God for something, he delivered, and you just weren't sure where to go? That's the fork in the road that I am staring at and making decisions about. He came along beside me, lifted me up, and allowed what I've asked for. Great! Thank you GOD! So, now I have to step on faith and make a decision where you don't always see a clear path. The what-ifs cloud our judgment, they enable us to doubt, and cause a game of worrying that is agonizing. Right now I am seeing this path that is laid out and turn to the left and see another. Both are wonderful options, but one is what I have asked God for cont...

Yesterday was 35 weeks! HOLY COW! Vann will be here soon! How Far Along: 35 weeks & 2 Days   Sleep: I am doing well. I have gotten used to waking up every so often to roll myself over. I CAN'T WAIT to sleep on my tummy and back again! This sleeping on my side is for the birds...the way my belly pulls on my back can't be good! Poor Ryan has not been sleeping well...I hate when I wake up and he's still awake. I can fall asleep so quick and easy, and he has to lay there forever. It makes me feel awful for him and even more terrible that I can fall right back into dreamland.    Best Moment This Week: There have been lots! I loved that Ryan was off for a long 4 day weekend! The 4th was fun! Dad came over and painted more of Vann's room. We enjoyed celebrating my Papa's 87th birthday and having cake and ice cream that Nannie made.  Ryan and I had a movie date as well since it was icky weather!      {Not done yet, but closer...
