5 on Friday

I have been severely neglecting my Blog. I apologize! It has been a hard month with Father's Day, the anniversary of Nonie's death on the 21st and the upcoming anniversary (6/30) of my Dad's death. Please hold with me and don't get too discouraged. Here is a 5 on Friday just for good measure!

1. My Mom and Tim are coming in this weekend. We are going to pick up mine and Kevin's new chest of drawers and dresser so that we can begin refinishing my baby furniture (which is what Kevin and I were using until we found bedroom furniture that we like) for the Bee. Our new Loveseat should be in any day now, so things are beginning to come together!
2. Davis' (our nephew) 6th birthday party is this Saturday as well. He is a Yankee Doodle baby, well I guess now he is a Yankee Doodle BOY, not a baby...sorry Davis, my mistake!
3. I have developed an aversion to poultry. Seriously, I can't even smell chicken without gagging. It is really strange. I guess I should be happy, besides constant potty breaks, I have not had any other pregnancy related issues.
4. My lunch didn't sit well, I am feeling kinda puney. I really just want to take a nap.
5. Since we have been short a piece of furniture in the living room after getting rid of the blue couch, I set up the portable hammock in our living room. I have to say, it is an eyesore, but it is great to pile up in the hammock with my pillow and down blanket (and the dogs) and watch some TV. I am going to miss it when we have to go back to having a grown up living room. Nellie will miss it too I think. She waits for someone, ANYONE to get in the hammock so that she can too. Silly girl...but SO cute!

TGIF! Ciao!

HILARIOUS!!!

There is a little girl who has an awesome Aunt who ordered some super cute burp cloths for her. Here are the latest "This Little Piggy" creation. I hope that baby girl...and her Mama and Aunt, like them!

HaPpY bIrThDaY cAnDi!!!!!!!!

Hard to believe that we are 28...hope you had a great B-day!

Our Little Snow Baby

I had my 12 week appointment today and we got to hear the bumblebee's little heartbeat. The "swish, swish" sound made it sound like he/she was snowskiing around in there. Any way, all is well with the Bee and I go back again on July 9 for another visit to check in with our little snow bunny. Ciao!

10 on Tuesday-on an actual Tuesday!

1. My birthday is Sunday. This is my last birthday as a “non-Mom.” I am excited that next year, my birthday will be celebrated with a new, sweet little face in the pictures. HOORAY!
2. We are having our families over for Sunday lunch for my birthday and then our friends over for dinner (and movies and a game of Clue…it is my birthday after all) Kevin hates board games, especially Clue but he plays it once a year for me…on my Birthday. Thanks Kev!
3. We are gearing up for a combined yard sale with my in-laws…gotta make room for the Bee. We are selling one of our couches (we had 3 when we got married since we each had a house of our own…we have sold one already and now the blue whale is going to the yard sale and my cranberry Pottery Barn couch is rejoining the living room instead of staying banished to the “man room”) and I am excited.
4. We want a recliner, but not a recliner that looks like a recliner. We found one and bought it at La-Z-Boy last week, but they called us yesterday and said that they didn’t offer the chair that we wanted in the fabric that we wanted. It was literally the ONLY fabric that I liked…crap…back to square one.
5. I HATE furniture shopping, I am really picky, and so is Kevin…unfortunately not about the same things.
6. Can’t find baby furniture that I like. All the stuff that I like is REALLY expensive. I do not want particle board furniture. Is it too much to ask for real wood furniture that doesn’t cost so much I have to sell plasma to pay for it?
7. We are also searching for patio furniture. We have found what we want in that department, but just have to decide if we want to spend the $$.
8. I miss hanging out with my friends. School has had me so busy, I haven’t had time.
9. I miss my family as well! I am going to be in Decatur next weekend (6/14) for Sarah’s dance recital. I am excited to get to spend some time with the fam that is not overshadowed by me thinking how much I have to get done for school.
10. I really need to post some pics to the ole’ blog. I will try to get that done this week.

CIAO!
