Pregnancy...

and


I've never been the biggest fan of strawberries.. Yeah, I'd eat them here and there.. I've never hated them.. Just never LOVED them...

Welll... Pregnancy has made me want both of these two things all the time. Seriously. I'll sit and eat a whole container on my own. I just love the fresh juice-ness of them. And if you add it with the taste of yummy lemonade.. Perfect! And lucky for me... This craving has come when Strawberries are getting cheaper and cheaper. (good thing i'm having a summer baby!!!)

And on a different note... I'm having a bad pain day.. (on these days i'm suppose to do as little as possible.) So, we are having a frozen pizza (the cute individual size ones.. i cut it in half for the girls and it's perfect) And we decided on strawberries and carrots with dip to go with it. And I feel like a proud mom... Hannah's carrots and strawberries are all gone, and now i'm having to "force" her to eat the pizza :-D! I'm very grateful that the girls have this random idea that eating veggies is fun and cool! I hope they never learn differently!

The dresses...

I'm in a rush, so i'll have to edit the post later.. but this is what my girl's dresses look like.

(keep in mind, they're like my 4 and 5 things ever sewn.)

A few of my favorite things...

I know I've complained, due to the fact i've ALWAYS wanted a boy.... But there are some really fun things that are pretty special about girls:

1. Doing nails. My little girls love getting their nails done.. They lay out and make sure that I don't forget their toes. And they love the bright pink nail polish

2. Doing their hair. I love how excited and interested the girls are in this. They love being able to pick out the cute clips for their hair, and tell me how they want me to do it.

3. Making dresses. I'm currently working on cute summer dresses for them. I HOPE to have them done so they can wear on Sunday. Yes, this will probably make for a LATE saturday night for me :-D

4. The coolest thing about girls.. Is they can also play like boys. They can wrestle with Daddy, play with toy cars, and love playing outdoors, just like little boys can... but they also get to do the above mentioned things.

5. They can wear any color in the rainbow... Whereas boys normally don't get away with pink and purple.

Yes, we're having a fun little girly day. I'm excited for little Abby to get here.. I know the girls are going to have so much fun dressing her up with me! She's going to have two very good examples of cuteness to follow.


Side Note: The doctor's office just called. It is now officially on the calendar. July 21st. c-section at 7:30... We have to be at the hospital at 5:30.. man that's early.. But... Maybe there will be a chance we don't have to have a c-section..... doubtfully. but still. As my mom and sister pointed out.. They won't be able to be in the room if it is... Usually only one other person is allowed... the first birth without them.. no fun.

Strawberry Lemonade and Pie.

This morning I woke up, and that's what sounds good to me. That's what I really want! Sadly, I looked in my kitchen and don't have all the ingredients for either.. But man, don't they both sound good. Like Lemon Merguine Pie.. MMMMMmm!

Seriously, I'm thinking I'm going to need to head to the grocery store for at LEAST the strawberry lemonade, i've been craving it for way to long!

BYE!

A better picture of the girls' gymnastics outfits... (stolen from Grandma and Grandpa)

Gymnastics.

So, Today was the first day....... It was sooooooooo much fun. Luckily Oma was there. AND she brought her camera too.. It was hard to take pictures because it was very parent involved.. Like cheering them on, and telling them good job. So Oma was able to snap a few pictures! We had a GREAT time.. And I honestly got the biggest "soccer-mom" high out of it. Needless to say, I wanted to sign them up for every class they could ever take.. but refrained..

If you know me at all.. (or my mom) we kind of like to do things to the extreme.. We got all excited and took a shopping trip, to try and find the perfect outfit for the girls. After trying to find some at Kmart.. And then calling local sports clothing stores.. Decided to give Goodwill a chance.. Maybe they would have what we were looking for.. And of course they did! We found the perfect outfits for the girls. I even went to the Dollar store and bought the girls a water bottle each. (and decorated it while they were sleeping..) Yes.. Every other kids was dressed in normal clothing... But mine (have a crazy mom and oma) were lucky enough to have special gymnastics outfits!!! Enjoy the pics!

Waiting for our turn.

waiting (but you can see the cute outfits better)

Emily and Hannah after class.. They didn't want to sit still!

Emily asks as we were putting her shoes on "can we do another class?!?!" she was so excited. I got to inform her she gets to take 7 more classes! Yes, these are the moments I LOVE being a mom!

Good News, Bad News.

*************INTERUPT THIS POST*********************
I was writing the contents below and then realized.. today is my last day of triple digit days left in my pregnancy! Yes, Today I have 100 days left. Hopefully the last 100 days will go by as fast as the previous 100.. but leave time for me to get stuff done! Isn't that EXCITING?!?! 100 days seems like so much.. but 99 seems so much less.

**********BACK TO YOUR NORMAL VIEWING POST*********


So.. We're thinking that moving to Idaho is not going to happen this August. Some IMPORTANT things aren't working out as best as we hoped. There is still a chance, but not a very big one.
Bryan will still be going to school this fall.. just not at ISU. :-D He'll just finish completing his transfer degree at WCC. We think this is bad news.. We were really hoping that it would all work out... (though a lot of family will be reading this thinks it's really good news :-D)

The good news? Since we still have the money saved up, we'll be able to spend a little on a family vacation.. Which is MUCH needed. We're still planning on saving most the money we have saved up (we've learned having am emergency fund is helps us have a lot more financial peace... it's sure does take a huge burden off of things) But a little fun money to have some family time... We just need to figure out what to do for vacation.. I'm not sure I'm up for going to far... But just a week or so with family-stress-free-full-of-fun time. Any suggestions?
