Happy Anniversary To Us!!!!

Three years ago today Chris and I got married! Sometimes it feels like longer then that and sometimes it doesn't. Chris and I celebrated last Saturday and Sunday. We went to Geneva, (where we had our reception), and went to all the cute stores, ate a really nice dinner and went to Riverside. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. On Sunday we went to a pumpkin farm in Barrington. We bought pumpkins, ate lunch and shopped at the farm. It was really nice and we cant wait to take our daughter there next September/October! So for today, Chris and I will have a nice dinner together and then watch some of our wedding DVD. Chris is getting my rings re-dipped too, (they haven't been touched since before the wedding and they need a good cleaning!). Well, Chris and I have a had a great 3 years of marriage and a total of 7 1/2 years together. We both cant wait for the next chapter in our lives...becoming parents!

OMG!...

I'm washing baby clothes for the first time and my belly button is popping out slowly! I feel like a turkey!

Also, I passed my 1 hour glucose test but my iron levels dropped again which means I have to take 2 iron pills!! bring on the constipation!! Haha!

Fall...

Today was a day to stay in and cuddle up on the couch with a blanket...I love it! To bad I was in a sugar coma for the whole day. I had my 1 hour glucose tolerant test this morning. I had to drink this orange drink that had 50 grams of sugar!! I went to my doctors appointment and got my blood drawn. I should get the results soon. Oh, its to check to see if I have gestational diabetes, if you didn't know that. Oh, and I lost a pound...weird. Anywho, I slept all day and now I want to go to bed. Nighty-Night!

In and Out...

So I am going to copy Butca on this...

Here are my Ins and Outs

of the week, (so far)...

IN~

Junk food, taking naps, hitting up some bomb-ass garage sales and getting good deals on nice stuff, the new fall tv shows that are coming back on, (The Office, Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Greys Anatomy...), getting our basement done, Fall and Halloween decorations, Halloween candy, the tree's turning colors, corn on the cob, celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary, painting the babies room, being lazy and sleeping in.

OUT~

Football on tv, Comcast internet, cleaning, doing the dishes, weather being above 80 degrees, my cats waking me up in the middle of the night, Chris not really listening to me when I talk, bills, the fact that we are growing out of this house, that I cant go to Halloween parties and dress up this year, gaining 5 pounds in one month, getting up to go pee about 3 times in the middle of night, the name Payton, (sorry Chris!), celebrities naming their kids crazy/stupid/strange/off-the-wall names, pumpkins costing $10, and this SHITTY ECONOMY!!!

So much is going on...

So besides having a baby, painting the nursery, decorating the nursery and everything else going on in our lives we have decided to get our basement fixed/done! We are having a hole re-drywalled, the cut-yourself-on-our-crazy-textured walls sanded and then smoothed out, priming all the walls, trim and doors and then lastly, (for now), painting of all the walls! We are getting it done the week of October 19Th. At least it will only take 5 days to finish! Now we need to look into getting the floors done, but those might have to wait till next spring or early summer! Uuuuhhhhhhgggggggggg...why cant it be January yet?

Here are some pic's of our cats.

This is Bailey...

Here is Bailey again on her 'big girl bed'. This is the extra guest bed we have in our office, (soon-to-be babies room), and Bailey loves sleeping on it. Its her bed and she's going to be sooo pissed when we take it out of the room tomorrow!!! I feel bad...

Here's Mocha being cute, even though she is a sneaky brat....

Here's Kaluah. I thought this pic was soooo funny. It looks like she's saying 'Cheeeeessssseeeee'!

Some new pictures...

Here's some new pic's of Chris putting together the changing table/dresser. The other pic's are of the babies room in the transitional phase. We have a lot of painting to do, (among other things!)...

This is some funny shit...
