Happy Father's Day!

Had a great day celebrating with my Dad and the Soon-To-Be Daddy! I am very blessed to have two great men in my life! I'm sure the baby will feel the same! I got JD the baby's first books! They are all about Daddy! I'm so excited to stand outside the baby's room one day and listen to JD reading to our child! So excited for those memories to begin!! I had to also throw in a book for Grandpa. It is all about the farm and tractors....that will be my Dad's job....teaching my child all about the farm! (I saw him practicing reading it to himself...he is excited)









Today was an experience of what is to come: JD kept throwing out that today was his day! I had asked him early this morning to iron a shirt while I fixed my hair. He replied in a not so happy tone, "It's Father's Day!" I was mad for about two minutes....but when he came back with the ironed shirt...I got over it! He did tell me next year that he wants to enjoy his Father's Day on a golf outing with his friends. I said that is fine...he just has to take the baby, I mean that is the reason he gets to celebrate Father's Day...right?!

Happy Anniversary

JD planned a great anniversary outing. The outing was supposed to be a surprise but JD must have thought that I wouldn't be doing any cleaning and he left the tickets out on the dresser. I will admit that I usually do try to ruin surprises but I promise this time was a total accident!

So the first stop was a Reds game! I haven't been in such a long time and I really do enjoy Reds games, especially Skyline Chili Dogs! We also enjoyed the fireworks show after the game.







The best part of the evening though was my true surprise gift! I had no clue that JD had went to Fine Threads. Now here is a moment for me to be honest....I knew the gift was from Fine Threads because they always wrap the gifts for JD! So i'm thinking oh, no I hadn't told Mrs. Brawner anything that I had wanted (which is usually what I do...she is the best at pointing JD in the right direction). But JD really did awesome....he got me a Vera Bradly diaper bag!! Which is in my favorite pattern!! It could go for either a boy or a girl!! I am so excited and love it!! Thanks JD!







What a great 6 years and I am sure the best are yet to come! I am truly blessed!

Brack

I had my first lunch date with Brack (he was in my class this past year) and his mom. It was so fun. I cannot believe how much older Brack looks just in the short time we have been apart…..gosh, they do grow up fast! (It could be his new really cool haircut too)


I have to share this quick story that I will always remember about Brack: My class was all sitting on the carpet area and I was talking to them about leaving after lunch and that they would have a substitute coming for the afternoon.(I was probably doing a lot of bribing and begging for them all to be nice and to please be good) The whole class was quiet and one student asks, "Where are you going?" Before I could come up with a response Brack shouts out, "I know where she is going! She is having a BABY!" It was great....if only I could describe what the other kids faces looked like!! He was right, I did have a doctor's appointment!!

The last day of school Brack had told me that we needed to have a meeting with his mom. He said that maybe we could all meet at El Nopal in Carrollton. He then went on to tell me that he had a surprise for me! I kept trying to get it out of him the rest of the day but he kept it a secret!


Today when we met he gave me a blanket that he had helped his mom and grandma make for the baby! So sweet!!

On the way home I pictured my child and meeting up with his/her teacher. I know I am rushing things but I am just so excited for those moments to happen! I plan to spoil my child's teacher just as Brack and his mom have spoiled me!







P.S. Brack put in his guess….he thinks it is a BOY!


Thanks Brack!

Baby Field

At our last appointment we got to see Baby Field! The little stinker kept its arms in front of its face the whole time! So no good ultrasound pics of the face. (This baby better not be trying to tell me that it is like its daddy and not photogenic....I will not be happy) JD announced to the nurse that it was already acting stubborn like me....I don't mind that! I guess the baby thinks that since we are keeping the gender a surprise, everything should be a surprise! I can't wait to see its sweet face in October!

The baby is doing great and the heartbeat sounds wonderful! I have gained 13 pounds, so I need to do a little better in that area. I am going to try to start walking each morning, yes hold me accountable and ask me how that is going when you see me!

Well, I had to take the video off because Auntie Hoops and the rest of the family couldn't focus on the mouth and they were trying to figure out the gender....wait until October people!
