Its been awhile, we should do this again sometime!

WOW! I can't believe how long it has been since I jotted down all my daily activities!
A little update!
The floors are new and the painting is almost done!
We have sold out all of the store's inventory to a new store opening called Blue Owl Vintage!!! So I am now just a housewife! I couldn't be happier I've made all the bedding, pillows, curtains for Hadley's room!!! Yes we are having a boy and I'm getting HUGE!!! Not much longer to go though!!!
So I'm just laying on the couch watching Secret Lives of Women, Mistresses. These ladies are so pathetic, I never understand why women get involved on any level with married men they are just setting themselves up for disappointment! I'm trying to get up the energy to take a shower and go to the grocery store. I have lots of baking to do before our dinner party at Jason and Cylisa's tonight. I love that about being married! We have gone from each of us having our own little group of friends to sharing the same friends (mostly couples) that we can do things together. Although it was nice at our couple's shower for Ryan to have all his old friends there!
I've been on a mission to find a great lipstick and eyeliner for deliver day, now I know this sounds stupid and vain but you put on an extra 25 pounds and you'll be looking for something to make you feel just a little prettier! I FINALLY found an eyeliner I like, just still needing a great lipstick!
Ryan and I started our birthing classes last Saturday and we went in there thinking we are so prepared; we are just wasting a Saturday WRONG!!!! The teacher is nice however, she is one of those anti drug breathe through the pain kinda people so right off the bat I feel like I'm a horrible person for drugging my baby with zofran and benadryl! Then she plays us this video, mind you she did NOT tell us this video would cover an actual delivery she just told us it would be over your third trimester. So we are watching it and all of a sudden on this huge projector screen here comes a baby crowning. Ryan said he had never seen me so white, I honestly think I stopped breathing. I'm not stupid I know how babies come out, but to see a vag stretched to those proportions and a baby just ripping its way out was more than I can handle. Needless to say I'm now freaked out!!!
My MIL and I went shopping yesterday (I can last a few hours then I'm in need of a long nap!) and I found a bunch of cute jogging suits on sell at New York and Company (always been one of my fav stores!) for $15 bucks so I went a little crazy! I've been lucky so far that I haven't had to buy a lot of maternity clothes, I'm mainly all belly!
I don't know how many women come up to me to solicit their unwanted advice and or opinions over being pregnant during the summer and how miserable I am going to be. Honestly though it hasn't been that bad. I am a little anemic so naturally I'm usually cold (point for me!), also I have all winter to hide under sweatshirts to get my figure back in time for summer (ten points for me!!!).
All the preparations for Hadley's room are almost done!!! I hate the whole hurry up and wait thing that comes with pregnancy! We just want him here so bad!!! We are going to look at baby Halloween costumes this weekend I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Tomorrow night we are going to see Glenn Beck at The Majestic. I'm not to excited but Ryan is so I'll put on my game face!
Okay, I'm off to shower then to the store and its time to make dessert!!!

The Joys of being 6 weeks pregnant!

Ok so we have finally told everyone that we are PREGNANT!!!
Of course our parents are thrilled! Ryan so far has been alot calmer than I. The day after we found out I started freaking out. I mean its really scary when you think about the long term of this! 18 guaranteed years of constanly having someone depend on you every moment of every day. Ryan on the other hand was over the moon and already looking at baby clothes! But now we are on the same page we both just can't wait for September 29th to get here!!! Last Thursday Debbie and I got to see the baby, I was having some problems and they rushed us in for an emergancy sonogram. Everything is fine now and he/she has the fastest little hearbeat. Its truely amazing! We are turning the store over to Amy in June, so that I can be a stay at home mommy! I'm sad but excited, we had our run and it did good for us and now its time to move on!! I'm currently working on planning Kendra's baby shower. We had a minor problem with invitations but now we are back on track!!

Snow Day

I LOVE IT WHEN IT SNOWS! It makes everything perfect! Bear and I went for a walk this morning in the snow it would have been way more romantic if Ryan was there but oh well Bear is good enough! Tonight is Cary Grant movie night! I love that Ryan gets the humor in his movies! So it'll just be us, the fireplace, and Cary Grant!

I'm in the middle of planning my sister's baby shower. Its so much fun! I have found everything that I want to do for mine and am having to think outside the box for hers. Her nursery is bumble bee's so I'm at a lost. I always want to go way girly! But we've all agreed on tulip centerpieces and lots of tulling!

Other than that I'm loosing my patience with the speed of project hardwood floors. But I'm not going to complain!

ITS SNOWING AGAIN!!!! I'm beyond happy!

Limbo

I can't believe how crazy this year is so far. We've had on offer on our store that's worth taking a closer look at. The person who wants to buy it is so sweet and promises she'll keep it along the same lines as what it already is. I'm not sure what we are going to do. This has been our whole life for the last few years. Although it would be nice to be a stay at home mom (still pending). I'm starting to resent everyone who tells me it just happens. I'm becoming narcissistic over this. Time to chill out! We had a girl's shopping trip yesterday with the sissy and mom in laws. We need our own reality show! People on the outside just don't seam to understand when we say one of us looks like a bitch its a good thing and the way sales people gawk at our bluntness about unflattering clothes is hilarious. Amy wore a top from the store and was complimented on it by almost every sales person. That did cheer me up! Well I'm off to finish reading my book!

busy busy busy

I can't believe its already into January. I have to start taking down my Christmas Decor at the store!!! I am however, very proud that Ryan and I had all of our decorations at home down after new years, like respectable neighbors lol! Speaking of neighbors, my neighbors dog was put down yesterday. I feel so awful for them, they had her for fifteen years! I can't imagine what Ryan and I would do without our Care Bear. I'm backing in the creative flow making more purses, and working on a really kick ass screen! I went to Hobby Lobby the other day and got "homey" decor for the house! We are starting on our floors this week! I'm so excited to have our house coming along! It's sad that we are going to sell it but I'll be glad to be in a neighborhood with people our age who are starting families! Well time to get back to house work!!!
