*The best muffin I've ever had*

We went to DD this morning, and I ate WAY too much! I have done so well not eating too much so far during this pregnancy( 17.5weeks, and gained 3 lbs so far). SO, I overate a little today. But I did stay at the gym a little longer tonight to make up for it..... a little =) I didn't realize how many calories I really ate, until I just looked it up. I mean, just the muffin would have been fine(using up my 300 extra for the day), but Luke tortured me and asked me if I wanted a donut after. Seriously I have had no appetite so far, but no I wake up STARVING every morning. And around 10 PM every night, I am starving again. I have a feeling the weight will be a little more when I got back for the 20 week visit!

Half-way= 20 weeks.

20 week visit= October 5th!

First is the ultrasound to measure all the body parts & organs to make sure the baby is healthy and growing correctly. And on a side note, we also get to {hopefully} see if we will have another crazy, boy or a baby girl! After the US, we head over to my Dr. to do the normal-- pee in a cup,check weight,check blood pressure, and have a 2 minute appointment. The pre-natal appointments are always SO short. I love counting down the weeks, and then it's over in 2 minutes, unless I have questions. My Dr. would sit in as long as we needed or wanted to talk. Everything has been normal so far, so they have been quick!

We do have names for a boy or girl, and a bedding picked out for a girl. We had planned on me making the quilt/comforter for either the boy or girl, and we had been several times looking at fabrics. But I saw one I absolutely LOVED, showed it to Luke, and he agreed.

It. Is. Beautiful.

If it is a boy,we still plan on me making a valance and comforter, and we will match some sheets and bumpers.

Here are two songs that I really enjoy listening to right now!

   

Labor day weekend =)

This weekend was spent away from Luke because he had to work. And yes, retail stores are open on Labor Day, so he worked Monday too. But, it's alright because tomorrow and Thursday when everyone is getting ready for work, he will be sleeping in, and we will enjoy family time for 2 days!

We headed to Louisville Friday afternoon, so we could head to the UL UK game Saturday with the family. No, Louisville didn't win. But it was actually a great game to watch, and there were a lot of improvements from the hole Krapthorpe left the program in. It will be a long season, and a while to rebuild, but it definitely looked better in the 2nd half!

I'm not quite sure how it's possible to sleep through half of a college football game! But this is how Landon spent his first college game--out of the womb. This game 2 years ago, Landon was in my belly at about 6 months!

After the game, we headed down to the farm. We swam at the swimming area at the lake Sunday after church, ate lunch, laid out, napped, and headed back to swim at some one's house off their docks in the evening. Sunday was great. Monday morning we ate breakfast, hung out in the front yard while Elyssa and Landon played in the sprinkler and splash pad. We headed back to the dock to swim for a few hours. Landon had a great time, but after a while started yelling and crying BYE BYE, so we headed back to eat lunch, pack, and head home.

This video is from when Landon was 13 months old =)

13For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

Psalm 139:13-14

I've been thinking about this 2nd baby that we are bringing into the world, and how many plans are already being made for it. I've been thinking about how many prayers have already been said for it before it even existed. I'm so happy for a Creator who is fearfully and wonderfully making this special blessing for us! I'm so thankful He chose us to be the parents to this baby.

I've also been trying to figure out how I can think any other child is as AWESOME as Landon =) I love him. A. Lot.

A few things. . .

{Some new Pumas}

My pink Nike shocks and my other pink shoes have been worn out , and have grass stains on them from cutting it. That only leaves me with my running shoes--which are for running and working out.

{maternity skinny jeans}

I was looking at websites ( a pea in the pod, pickles and ice cream...), and i can't believe people will pay the same amount of $ for a double stroller as they will for a pair of jeans they will wear for like 6 months! So, Motherhood Maternity $34 skinny jeans will work for me. But this picture is of the jeans that were close to $200. And yes, my regular jeans still fit me perfectly fine for now =) But i know it will happen sooner or later!

{pink terry hoodie}

I need something pink to cover the belly.To match the shoes.

My birthday is in about 20 days if you feel like spending some money. =)

Ah Lord God! It is you who made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. (Jeremiah 32:17)

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.(Matthew 17:20)
