Camera dump.

We are having a lot of quiet nights these days because about half the time during the work week, Mallory has quit taking a nap during the day and she passes out for the night as soon as we get home.  I told Patrick that it is like the calm before the storm because I am pretty sure there won't be any more quiet nights for us in about 7 more weeks for years to come. 

Today is one of those days, where Mallory is out for the night so I decided to get off my lazy butt and blog for a change!  I just realized that I have not uploaded any pictures to my computer this year from my camera and I've only taken about 50 pictures so far.  That is unlike me and I must do better. 

Here are a few of the pictures that I have taken over the last two months-

One Sunday after church...this was such a cute dress on Mallory, however she wasn't feeling having her picture made.

Mallory's furniture (our old bedroom furniture) finally arrived with its new paint job.  I love it, now I just need to add the finishing touches to her room.

Her bedding, which I also love.  A pillow sham is missing because I had taken it to match up some paint for a project I am working on to go over her bed.

Hadley's room...still pretty bare but she has the necessities.

Our foyer which needs help.  This area has stumped me more so than any other in the house.  I just can't decide what to do with this space.  I do have a large mirror above the table now, but I'm still not loving it.  Suggestions?!

The future Mr. & Mrs. Andrews at a dinner to celebrate their engagement :)

My two loves at the engagement dinner.

Happy Valentine's Day!

This was the day Mallory had her Valentines party at school.

We have had the warmest winter ever in NC, so we've taken advantage and played outside after work.  Seriously, I think I may have worn a coat about 5 times so far this year, its been nice!

She is dangerous in this thing...two months after Christmas and she still can't drive too well but she loves it!

Showing off!

 

31 weeks

Size of baby:

Your baby's the size of a pineapple!


She's about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long and weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds this month. She's getting so big, she's probably crowding your lungs - - YEP!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gender: All girl!  & she now has some clothes in her closet finally!  She will have a ton once I bring in Mallory's baby stuff, but she has accumulated a few of her own things now too.  I bought her and Mallory their first coordinating dresses last week. 




Maternity Clothes: Yes, most definitely.  I am now in those clothes that you look at at the beginning of pregnancy and think, 'Wow, I'll NEVER be that big!' Ha! 




Weight Gain: 30 pounds.  YIKES!




Movement: Lots of movement :)




Sleep: I am almost scared to say this because I don't want to jinx myself, but sleep is fabulous.  For some weird reason, I don't even have to get up in the middle of the night to pee anymore!  Also, I got the snoogle body pillow after reading a ton of 5 star reviews on it and it is my new BFF.  Perfect support for the back and belly.  I highly recommend. 




Symptoms: Some heartburn, but not nearly as bad as it was with Mallory.  Braxton Hicks and a little swelling.  I can still wear my rings and all my normal shoes so I'm not complaining.  Yet. 





What I miss: Wine, sushi and not carrying around an extra 30 pounds!




Cravings: Urmm, girl scout cookies??  As well as brownies and still Dr Pepper.




What I am looking forward to: I've started the bi-weekly doctor appointments, which means the end is near! 
 
 

& here is my 31 week belly pic.  So glad my phone hides my face...it's as big as my belly! :)
