Happy!!

Friday, we found out that our Little Apple, is a girl! I'm so excited!! Paul is over the moon. Already buying dolls, and little dresses. And I just can't stop smiling.



These little shoes, I just couldn't pass them up. I found them at Old Navy for $2!! They are a little big. A size 18 months. But our little girl will have some adorable shoes to wear! Something about this news, makes this all real. I mean really "real." In just a few months, we'll meet our daughter! ♥E

Baby Boy or Baby Girl?

We find out on Friday, whether we are having a baby boy or a baby girl. I'm going nuts here! But I'm also relieved, that Paul is not traveling as much right now. Thank goodness for the summer break, in the schedule. It's really allowed him, to be a big part of this pregnancy. And so hands on!

Paul has been able to go to all of my appointments. Thank goodness! I wasn't sure if that was going to happen or not. Because, my due date is on a Friday, the doctor wanted to see me on Fridays. I'm not sure if that's common place. But that's what's been going on around here.

Back to all the gender talk. We're not pulling for a boy or a girl. We just want a healthy, and happy Little Apple. Secretly, I'm not sure what to do with a little boy. I have sisters. I've never really been around little boys. But I can just imagine Paul with a little boy. Following his daddy around. Wearing jeans and a John Deere t-shirt. Trying to be tough.

But a little girl. I could dress her up. I'm thinking about all the cute dresses, shoes, and hairbows. Oh, and I know what to expect of little girls. And I have so many nursery ideas. Even a few names that I like. But either way, we're going to love our little bundle of joy!



Just for kicks, I went looking for cute baby items. This little tie is so cute! So is that hat. I'd definitely buy one of each. If we're having a little boy!



And these tutus, oh, they are so adorable! I'd definitely order the entire outfit. Yes, definitely on my list, if our Little Apple is a girl!

Now I'm going to count down the hours, until my next appointment. On Friday. It seems so far away. What am I going to do until then? Dream about all the possibilities. Pray for a healthy baby. And enjoy every moment, of this pregnancy. ♥E

Sunflowers

There are fields and fields of sunflowers out here. Paul and I went for a drive this morning. Every color, every size you can imagine! It makes me want to grow a bunch at home. They just make me smile. For as far as you can see, there were sunflowers. It was beautiful! ♥E

Texas Sized Fun!

We got to my in-laws yesterday. And already, we're having so much fun. Last night, I told Paul how lucky he was. I just can't imagine growing up out here. It must have been a blast!



Today, my MIL and I are baking a lot. Paul and my FIL had some work stuff to do. So we're just holding down the house for them. :) We've made all sorts of berry pies. They smell so good. And tonight, we're having some Texas BBQ. I seriously can't wait!

But it's nice to come out here. There's not a whole lot to do. But be close to your loved ones, and nature. I'm really enjoying myself! Do you think I can convince Paul to move out here? ♥E

Urban Rain Giveaway

My Cakies is hosting a giveaway for $25 to Urban Rain. Look at how precious this jewelry is! If you hurry up, you can enter too! Good Luck! ♥E

Apron and DVD Giveaway

I'm in love with this little apron! Look at all the veggies. I wish I could find dish towels like these. They really are so sweet.

Anyway, you can win an apron or a DVD from Megan at Crochet Every Day. It's a super cute blog! I just wish I could crochet. But I do read it every day. Her projects are so adorable. And they are inspiring me to learn how to crochet. ♥E

It's Monday...

I just can't believe how tired I am. But we're back home. And today is Paul's day off. I'm not going to lie, we slept until noon! Yes, I said noon. I can't believe it. But we were so tired from our trip to Texas.

It's a little crazy that we came back home. I'm sure J would have let us stay. And just head from the job to my in-laws. But we really needed to come home and rest up! We're heading out to visit my in-laws this week. And I'm really excited!



Everything just seems so much more laid back. That's the thing about living in rural areas. Having a working farm. It's an amazing thing to go back to. And I can't wait to start cooking with my mother-in-law. She makes the yummiest things ever! Let's just say that my 80-20 week isn't going to work out on this trip. I'm not going to worry about calories or working out. I'll deal with that when we get home.

But my tummy is growling. I'm pretty sure I should get up and go make us some lunch. Oh, and start the day. Why do we have so much laundry. I really have to start my Monday... ♥E

Veggie Tote

Isn't this the cutest little lunch bag? I kind of wish that I still worked. That way I could buy it. You can find it here, for $19. There are 2 other styles. But the tomato is my favorite. I really do wish I had a good reason to buy this cute bag. But when would I use it? ♥E

Love 'Em!

I just love this episode of GH! Luke and Tracy are such a cute and unexpected couple. This has to be one of the best scenes on GH in a long time! Early in this episode when Luke tells Tracy, "I want you anyway I can get you," it made me smile. It was so typical of of Luke.

But this scene it was so sweet. I really did enjoy it. You know, until Tracy got sick. I've been watching GH since I was 13 or so. It has always been one of my favorite shows. Now if I could just catch up. How did I get this far behind? ♥E

Rubber Band Updo

I think this is such a cute hairstyle! But I would definitely use dark rubber bands. I don't want the rubber bands to stick out like that. And with the weather being so hot, and humid. Yes humid in the desert, I've been wearing my hair up. This is such a cute hairstyle. I'm going to be trying this tomorrow morning. ♥E
