looking back

I am constantly daydreaming about my baby! (Its kind of hard to not think about him when he is dancing inside my tummy all day) I want to know what he will look like and who he will grow up to be. KC and I have both felt the pressures of parenting in a world like this and had our sleepless nights thinking about how we can do whats best for our little guy. Today I just had to look back at some of our baby pictures to get a glimpse of what he might look like!

You asked for it!!

OK OK... Everyone has been begging me to post a picture of my belly and Ive been too scared to show you, but I figure, im only going to get bigger so I might as well post one now while there is still hope of getting a good angle that might slim me down a bit :) so here it is! I also cut my hair today so I thought i would show you all my transformation!



Heres to being huge for 7 more weeks!

and Heres what KC thinks about it...

Two to go!

My Sister Sadie had her baby on the 11th! Teague Emmerson Haynie... What a cutie! Its making me so nervous with each new baby that comes knowing that I only have 1 prego sister left to go in labor and then its MY TURN!! I think im freaking myself out. At this point it will be great to finally be done with pregnancy since I am about to pop, but the idea of Labor scares me SOOOO bad. I watch way too much "Babies, special delivery" on the discovery health channel. It always shows really complicated births, and its not helping, but I just can't get enough! I dont think its the pain I am afraid of, I think the two scariest things to me are

1-The epidural needle
2- That something will go wrong

I am trying to be as optimistic as possible, and prepare myself for the huge blessing I will be receiving in 7 weeks!!!

more babies to enjoy

I guess until I have my baby I am just going to have to keep posting pictures of my cute nieces and nephews... I finally met Audrey this weekend. She is the spitting image of Hillary as a baby.



And we all know how fun it is to take pictures of little Zander...

Water weight

Thats what it is right???.....................

Busy Christmas... can we have a vacation from our vacation?

This Christmas KC and I spent every second fixing something! We decided not to buy each other any Christmas presents, but to upgrade our home a little instead. It ended up being a lot more work than we ever imagined. Poor KC had to do most the work while his pregnant wife just pointed and gave input on where things should go :) Our baby room is coming along, and we decided to paint some stripes for our little guy. KC measured each stripe to make sure it was nothing less than a work of art! Im so glad I have such a hard working husband!
so far we have:
removed the countertops in the kitchen and guest bathroom
replaced them with GRANITE!!
replaced both sinks and fixtures
found a crack in the bathroom granite
had the bathroom granite replaced again
moved the exercise equipment downstairs
moved the office furniture to the east bedroom
moved the baby furniture to the west bedroom
painted the baby room
took apart the master bed
cleaned out the junk in the garage
took a huge truck load to the D.I.
sanded furniture
painted furniture
cleaned up all the dust from all the changes
realized the sink faucet is too tall
exchanged the sink faucet
realized the new sink faucet doesn't fit
replaced the bathroom mirror
...
and its still a work in progress!

we also managed to visit both families and attend extended family Christmas parties, host a birthday party and host a New Years get together all in the same 2 weeks, and tomorrow its back to work for KC...

can we have a vacation now?
