Before and After...Bedroom

Room #2, the bedroom...this is the only before I have (again, before the old owners moved out)...

And after!

Favorite Fridays....favorite celeb couple that didn't make it!

Well obviously...

oh, people you know I am kidding! I'm pretty sure everyone in America saw that one coming.

No, these were faves...

I'm sure they will be alot of people's picks because they were just so darn cute! I'm really not feeling the new guy she has either.

Oh well, she's pretty cute with anybody! 

Bumpdate...12 weeks!

How far along? 12 weeks

Weight gain? Amazing, still none!

 

Maternity clothes? Not yet! I like my loose clothes though.

Stretch marks? Not yet, thank goodness

Sleep? Starting to get more difficult...much more difficult

Best moment of the week? Well, I want to document this so I will tell my worst and best moment...Sunday, I woke up and was bleeding and cramping. To be on the safe side, we went to the ER. Well, I should have never told them the pain wasn't great. We waited FOREVER. People were continually being brought in and taken back before me. I was sooo angry. Well, they eventually came to get me for an ultrasound. I saw the little BB jumping ALL around. It amazed me how active it was. For some reason they didn't let Tom back there so he didn't get to see it :(. Well, that put my mind at rest some...after waiting for another two hours in the waiting room (still hadn't been taken back), we left. I made an appointment first thing Monday morning with my OB. Turns out I had a tear near my placenta. They put me on bedrest the past two days to make sure it healed quickly. At the OB however, I also got to see the BB and he/she was again moving all around. Amazing!

Have you told friends/family? Family, friends, cashiers, pretty much anyone that will listen

Movement? I thought so but the ultrasound technician said it was too early and was probably just gas :)

Food cravings? Nothing, really

Anything make you sick? Nothing right now

Showing yet? I don't think so

Gender prediction? Tom thinks a girl, mom thinks a boy...I'm just not sure yet!

Labor signs? Nothing this week

Belly button in or out? in

Wedding rings? Still on

Happy or moody? Much happier, although bed rest isn't as much fun as it sounds!

House Update

I had to share some before/after pics of our den. We have a living room and a den so this room is more of our "cozy" area.

I only really have one before pic: (this is before the old owners moved out)

And AFTER:

This is the mudroom off of the den.

One room down...lots to go!

Graduation party

In May, Tom had two nephews that graduated, one from 8th grade and one from high school. His sister, Marta, had a huge party to celebrate!

Her backyard was set up so beautiful!

In the front, there was a live band (you can see tent they were under to the right).

In the front, there was also a volleyball net set up.

Cara and Polly enjoying the air conditioner inside...

Tom and Elliott sweating outside....

It was a great party!

Show Us Your Life...Engagement Story

So, Kelly's Korner is doing engagement stories...I was definitely one of those girls who knew it was coming. We had been talkig about it for a while. However, I THOUGHT he had no where near enough money to purchase a ring yet....I was wrong :).

It was Friday, March 6, 2009. We work at the same place so I went down to his office to see what he was doing right after work. He wasn't there? What? He never leaves without telling me first? His boss, who NEVER really talks to me, informs me that he sent him out on a shop (he's a pricing manager so he has to "shop" our competition)...well, ok, why didn't he tell me? oh well.

I get to my house and he is there...very nervously there. He tells me he has a surprise, we are going downtown for the night. Our friend Melody is taking care of our pets so to pack a bag. I KNEW it then; this was sooo unlike him, especially the nervous part.

We went to the Madison Hotel downtown. We went on the rooftop and he proposed on one knee at sunset. It was perfect. Turns out, EVERYONE already knew.

We wanted to go to good restaurant to celebrate but he hadn't been able to make reservations because he didn't know our timeline...so we ended up eating at TGI Fridays...ha!...that was ok, I just stared at my ring most of the time anyway! :)

It was a perfect engagement!

Thoughtless Thursday...new car!

Sold this:

Getting this:

Woohoo!
