I want to win

Loving this site! http://www.mamacheaps.com/
I'm a little bummed that I just missed the Hersey park ticket by $2.11. (An offer Giant had when you spent $40 in participating products) can you believe I was that close?? I guess that's what happens when you shop w/o a calculator w/ 2 crazy kids!! Actually I'm surprised one of the many things snuck into the cart weren't the right products!! LOL

Hopefully I'll win the sun & earth giveaway...if not me- then YOU!!!

ME time

So this weekend was a hit!! For me anyway!! It sure wasn't anything spectacular to the average person I suppose but it's enough to make me happy. It's the little things people, the little things!
I got a few hours of all alone ME TIME!! Yes I said HOURS!! If I could dance I would have been...maybe I should have, who would have seen me??
The hubster took the kids to his cousins annual 4th celebration. I passed it up, the other option of being alone surely surpassed it! When they walked out the door I looked around at my incredibly messy house and for just one split second thought about cleaning it, then I believe I may have come to my senses! Screw that!! I grabbed my keys and went for dinner & a pedicure!
Now how is it that when I'm out alone not looking for any conversation, just wanting to be left to ponder life's mysteries, I get caught up blabbing away with any old stranger?? The women next to me insisted she had the greatest, never wrong, gender predictor....she just needed my thumbs. Whatever take a look lady! She for sure said BOY! Now it had me wondering, is that after she learned damn near my social security number (j/k) or could she really be right??? Will I have my little Jace?? I figure time will tell!
Funny thing is when I went for my dinner, the best general tso's chicken, the women said Whoa that's a boy belly there! WHAT? Are these people psychic?
Another hour or so of ME time followed the next day at prenatal yoga. I thought after the 3 flights of steps this better be good.....and it was! My car acting funky, being stuck in heat in the center of town sure was not fun, but we'll skip that part!
And now today finally the boys have managed to play nicely together for about 40 minutes....
the sun is out, the sun is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sun is a magical thing.

thinking pink???

Oh good God this not knowing crap is getting to me!! I've been such an emotional wreck lately I just wonder....could this be a GIRL??? I never got this emotional with the boys this late in pregnancy. With Matthew it was mostly the 1st trimester...ok all of the 1st trimester! With Marc I'll admit I had some rage issues (just a hint)- LOL. That does explain some things, the crazy little guy he is!! hehe

What is going on? I sure can't deal with this for another 3 months!

28 week appointment

Can you tell I think we're having a boy?? I just had to buy these!

Baby's little heartbeat sounded so cute once again!
My glucose test came back great, thank the good lord!

My weight is still ok, with 12 weeks left it looks like I won't top the 60 lb weight gain I had with Matthew. PHEW! The doc says "measuring slightly larger than average", but I totally ignored it- to me that means nothing. I measured HUGE with both boys & they weren't monsterous. If anything it's the length, we'll thank my hubby's genes for that one! Marc was 22in at birth & Matthew 20.5in (at 3 weeks early) maybe this babe will right between- we'll see.

hmm what else....my blood pressure was fine.....well of course it was- I left the kids at home!!

hehe

Father's Day

Here's the picture that the boys put in the "noisy" card.

Cabella's

Matt's 5th Father's Day!!! Amazingly the boys slept in...until 9AM!! Well Marc was up at 7 but I managed to get him to snuggle up with me in bed & fall back to dream land!! NICE!

We went out to breakfast (well technically brunch) , then off to Cabella's. We were there for 5 HOURS!!! Enjoyed lunner (lunch/dinner) there then headed out. We attempted Maggie Moo's for ice cream but it was super crowded so we went home instead. Matt picked up ice cream from the store- he found the blue bunny chocolate lovers for me!! He's a great husband and an even better Daddy!!!

Happy Father's Day!

13 weeks to go!!

27 weeks!!

Only 13 weeks to go!! I really should get moving on some things! I have plans on going through some of Marc's old baby clothes just to take inventory of what I have & need. I got rid of so much stuff, so I'm hoping to get a shopping soon! I must start a list!! It's going to be tough buying gender neutral! Anyone who knows me knows I HATE anything with characters...precious moments, winnie the pooh, etc. It's fine for anyone else, but I can't do it!! I'm also not a big fan of ducks so I'm limited here! One thing I have to get within the next month is the car seat! And ahhemm husband of mine are you out there??? My ergo or beco is calling!!! LOL

no need for lip injections- lol

So last night Marc & I were snuggling up on his rocker. Silly Mommy got him all fired up while I cuddled & kissed his cute little self....his giggles were priceless!! Then all of a sudden he wham- head butts me right on the mouth!! (Now keep in mind my children are half polish, they've got heads of steel!) I was so shocked I just began to pretend to cry, really I could have- but I didn't want to scare him. He leans back, looking very sorry but only says "what?" I then whimper some more & tell him that it hurts. He gets this little look on his face, pauses briefly and yells out......
"MEATBALL"
He has me hysterically laughing, then he joins in....just what he wanted!! Little bugger!! See how early these boys learn the ropes!!
So needless to say no need for lip injections for me, my lips are nice & plump!!

that 70's picture

Awhile back I mentioned I had this picture of Marc that had me cracking up thinking how 70's it looks- here it is!!

It always makes me smile!! He looks a lot like me here!

(He's 12 months so it's a bit old! But I'm happy to share it!)

Matthew's preschool graduation 6/9

Matthew graduated preschool on Tuesday!! His teachers are thankful for all the little boys & girls. What they said about Matthew is that they are thankful for him "being so enthused about everything in preschool!" I can totally see him in the classroom with his big blue eyes saying "wow, snack!" or "yeah we get to paint!"

He had a really nice class & the teachers are super sweet, Matt & I are proud of how much he's grown socially & academically!! Way to go big boy!!

Pre-K starts the same week baby is due!! YIKES!!

Matthew's family party 6/6

Golf clubs from Grandpop!!

Grandmom Mimi & Aunt Bonnie in the back there!

Dig in Marc...it's one thing you do best!!

Yummy ice cream cake for my sweet little boy!

The wait is OVER for THE diaper!!

HERE IT IS!!

So I finally found a diaper I've been searching for!! If you cloth diaper you will understand the feeling of joy I have right now!! It's sad, I know....well maybe not! hehehee
Well anyhoo it's the Heather Ross VW bus print- AHHH I can't wait until it arrives!!
The print is retired & even before that it was a rare find at an expensive price! No need to worry I bought it at an amazingly fair price! LOL
It is blue, but so are most of the other diapers we have so this baby won't mind if he happens to be a she! Better believe I'll post a pic. once I rip open the package & drool over it!!

shhh don't tell

I'm so lazy!! Marc is fast asleep, poor little guy has a cold!! Matthew is at preschool, only 1 day left!! And here I sit!! I'm thinking hard about where to start on my long list of things to do.....that's a lot of work!! hehehe!!
Oh and of course I'm sipping away on my nice cold iced coffee from, where else, STARBUCKS!! I think once that's gone, or Marc wakes up- whichever comes first, I'll do something a little more productive!!

THE CAKE

Can't forget a picture of the cake!

It was as good as it looks!! :)

A big thank you to Michelle at Piccadelly Cafe!!

Matthew loved it!!

Matthew's 4th birthday party at Pool Wildlife Sanctuary

May 31st- Matthew's birthday celebration with his friends

24 week appointment last week

Well forgive me for forgetting about myself!! HEHE I had my 24 week appointment last Tuesday, May 26th. Marc & I got to hear the little heartbeat again and it sounded nice and strong! During our 45 minute wait we spilled a bag of goldfish, ripped a magazine & I perspired like a pig in the 10x10 room but that sound was worth it all!! The doctor mentioned my weight gain but compared the weight gain in my previous pregnancies & sort of let it roll!!
