Bedding Dilemma

I am having a dilemma and need EVERYONE's input!!! So, please please please leave me a comment with your opinion!

I absolutely, 100%, cannot decide on Olivia's bedding.  I know I'm most likely having it made since all of the sets I like are ridiculously expensive (I guess that means I have good taste?)  Here are some of the sets I like the style of, and I'm wanting to replicate any or some of them or pieces of each for her bedding.  Keep in mind, her bed is off-white or "Ivory" for you color snobs out there.  The bedskirt won't show a whole lot, but I want it to be extra long and ruffley so it will flow out the bottom.  I also love BIG BULKY bows as the ties...Like photo 2&3.  I also can't decide if I like the pink/green floral motif of the first 3 or if I like the simplicity of the last 3. Her walls are light grey and the trim in her room is stark white.

3 Times Better with just ONE Letter!

So sorry for my long weekend hiatus!  I was having entirely too much fun to sit down and take a few minutes to blog :)  This weekend was a blast from the past! Literally! OU TriDelta celebrated it's 100th year on campus with a weekend full of sisterly celebration.  A little cheesy, maybe.  A lot fun, duh.

On Friday night Dillon and I trucked on down to our old stomping grounds in good 'ol Norman for the TriDelt social at 747.  For those of you who are familiar or ran around in a fraternity/sorority around the time it opened and got popular (2004-2007), it is also fondly referred to as "Club Poison".  I'm sure many of my readers can vouch that it's almost always a good time!

Anyway, on Friday night I was pleasantly surprised by two of my best college friends making their way up from Texas!  We had some serious fun in college and we had a blast laughing and telling our "remember when..." stories.  After the social, a group from my pledge class and our husbands (and soon to be husbands) all went to dinner at Iron Starr BBQ.  It's amazing all the new and cool things that have gone up in Norman since we left only a short 3 years ago.  We had a nice long dinner, again laughing and telling stories and at times wishing we were still in college!

Saturday was a "girls" day and I went to La Luna for a pledge class reunion lunch.  The food was great but the conversation was even better.  I'm pretty sure I scared away a few of the girls from ever having children--I think Charlee literally broke out in hives at the mention of pregnancy :)  After lunch, we went back the house and saw all the new decorating that had been done and looked at all our old rooms.  We were laughing at the thought of renting the house out for a Spring Break and all moving back in for just a week--what a reality show that would be!!  Best vacation ever.

Overall, it was a great weekend and I got to see some of the most influential girls of my college years.  I love you all and can't wait to get together again!!

Here are some "remember when" pictures that are priceless:

Beyond Blessed

I am truly amazed everyday at all the blessings in my life.  I mentioned last week that I had started a Bible Study.  I have a feeling you will all get to hear just how much it is changing my life since I will likely blog about it as I realize all the different things I'm learning.  This week's main lesson is to focus on the positive in your life and FAST the negative.  It's totally and completely a challenge, let me tell you.  But, boy oh boy does it truly help you realize your blessings!!!  Here is a quick paraphrase from my homework this week-- I literally laughed out loud.

"Lord!  I'm tired of cleaning up this kitchen, but I'm doing this for You and in Your name.  I praise you for my family who made this mess at mealtime and for a physical body that can still clean." -- The Frazzled Female, by Cindi Wood

This literally sums up my life, which is probably why I laughed so hard.

 So, ponder this:  When someone gives you a gift, do you say "That's nice, now how much do I owe you?" NOOOO.  You say, "Thank you".  As Christians, God has given us a gift- Salvation. But often we feel obligated to try to work our way to God and DO all the things the he would say is "right"---instead, challenge yourself to just be grateful. We should respond to God with gratitude, praise, and be joyful for the gift He has given us!

Happy Praising!

Sweet Olivia Kate

We went to the doctor today for a check-up.  This time I didn't get any orders to have my blood drawn--praise the Lord!  Everything checked out perfect, a little heartbeat at 145bpm that was a little hard to catch on the heartbeat monitor since she was squirming and kicking so much there was a lot of big "thumps" and little "thumps" to try to distinguish from.

I am 19 weeks and 2 days today, and I have gained a total of NINE (9) pounds.  I'm actually quite proud of myself! I found my weight tracker from my pregnancy with Kenwood...I don't have anything recorded for 19 weeks, but I have a 24 weeks @ 18lb gain....which tripled by the time he was born, uh oh.  So, as long as I don't gain 11lbs in a month, hopefully I'll be better on track with my weight this go 'round!

19weeks 2days (it amazes me how much this belly grew in 2 weeks!)

We also had an ultrasound today!  We FOR SURE 99.999999% (no ultrasound is 100%) that we are having a sweet little girl!!!  Now, it is time to buy some fun stuff!!! Yipppeeeee  I have been waiting since we actually found out because we found out pretty early in this pregnancy and I wanted to be POSITIVE...even though Mother's Intuition is usually right on.

Olivia Kate

We can't wait to meet her in 2011!!! YAY!

My husband

For those of you who are not lucky enough to be married to my husband, here is a short run-down of last night.

After he cleaned Kenwood up after his dinner, they proceeded to the living room for a dance party. Dillon did one of his infamous "Dillon moves" where he jumped as high as he could while spinning in the air. Kenwood thought it was hilarious, and lets face it-so did I. But what was even better was when Daddy stopped spinning and he was so dizzy he couldn't stand up. Haha I have TWO little boys for sure!!!

Then, the sweetest sound in the world is hearing my sweet husband singing "his version" of Jesus Loves Me to get our little angel to sleep. "His version" is some sort of rap/lullaby that goes something like "Jesus Loves Kenwood....Jesus Loves my Kenwood..." At our house, we can hear through the master bedroom wall into the nursery so I'm not sure he knew I could hear him! But nevertheless, the sound was music to my ears.

Thank you God for the best husband who, coincidentally, is also the most wonderful father. I am one blessed girl.

Fall TV

It's really pretty sad how excited I get when all the TV shows start their premieres!! It's a sign that fall is here and Dillon and I will have plenty to watch when Kenwood goes down for the night!

On our watch list this week--and most of the season:

Mondays: Nothing I'm too excited about, we'll probably watch the pilot of Chase tonight and see how that goes. I used to watch Gossip Girl, but I'm bored with it.
Tuesdays: Biggest Loser & Parenthood (Both are definitely in our top 5 favorite shows (right now)!)
Wednesdays:  Modern Family (FOR SURE) & we'll be trying Better With You this season as well
Thursdays:  Grey's Anatomy & we'll try My Generation
Friday-Sunday: Football-duh, people.
Sunday Night: DEXTER!!!!!!! Whoooo hooooo

Etsy Purchase

I ended up buying the bobby pins I blogged about the other day.  I bought a different set though, aren't they cute?  I figured they were more neutral that I wouldn't have to worry about coordinating with whatever I'm wearing.  Now that my hair is long and stringy it's in a pony tail with my bangs pulled back the majority of the time.  Yay for cute bobby pins!

Nursery Furniture

After searching for awhile, I think Dillon and I have finally decided on a furniture set for Olivia.  We go back for another ultrasound on September 23, so I'm just waiting for the confirmation that she is STILL a girl and didn't grow a little "wee-wee" as Kenwood would call it.  So, if all goes as planned and we still have a little girl, her bedroom furniture will likely be this:

We will probably just do the hutch/dresser combo, crib and maybe the nightstand

The great thing about this set is it is VERY similar to Kenwood's furniture so they will coordinate well but also be completely different in the gender scale.  If that makes any sense.  

This is the furniture Kenwood has now:

His hutch has more shelving than this shows, but we LOVE it because it displays all the sentimental things he got as a baby.  (Dillon's old baseball glove, some sports memorbila, the football everyone signed when they came to the hospital, etc)  I'm really wanting Olivia to have a hutch like Kenwood's to display the things she gets too.


The good thing about both of these sets is that they are "convertible" cribs, which means they convert to a toddler bed (which Kenwood is in now) and then they convert into full beds.  So, we will be set on kid furniture for at least several more years!

Food for Thought

I started a new MOMs Bible Study at Crossings Church on Monday.  I'm really pretty excited about it! It's called "The Frazzled Female". So, basically I have high hopes that God grabbed my attention with this little title and my life will be enriched in the next few weeks.  I willingly admit, Bible Study can be a chore- it shouldn't be and I wish I could honestly say that I look forward to doing the "homework" but it's something I usually drag out.  It's definitely part of my faith that I need to work on, because I do always feel fulfilled after finishing a lesson-I just don't always feel like I have the time. 

Well, God has a sense of humor if I do say so myself.  I finally started my weekly lessons today (4 days later) and low and behold He is teaching about time and about being "too busy" for Him. WHOA.  It hit me like a ton of bricks! God? I know for sure you're speaking DIRECTLY to me now! 

If you get a chance read Luke 10: 38-42.  It's about two sisters who let Jesus into their home.  One sister rushes around the house, desperately getting things ready and preparing for her "guest" and the other sister stops everything and just sits at the feet of Jesus.  The 1st sister doesn't realize that in her desire to serve, she is actually neglecting her guest.  WOW.  It's so true.  Sometimes, I'm so busy doing things FOR Jesus that I forget to actually spend anytime WITH Him. 

God Bless.

The Fairy Fair Fair

I went overboard yesterday with the fried food at the fair!  I started the day off going with my mom for the shopping.  We ate a cinnamon roll for breakfast, I then proceeded to get a nice large cup of Dippin' Dots, a slice of Sammy's famous pizza for lunch, and then we topped off our afternoon food fest with potato curls and ketchup.  YUMMMMM.

After mom and I had our day-o-fun at the fair, I went to pick Kenwood up at Mother's Day Out.  He didn't nap-again-so we came home and both hit the snooze button until Dillon came home from work!

When Dillon got home, we loaded up the car with the stroller and plenty of water for our little munchkin and hit the road, BACK to the fair! Yes, I went TWICE yesterday.  Judge if you must.  First things first, we hit up the corn dog stand.  Kenwood LOVES corn dogs too so that was naturally the start to our night.  We walked around and shopped a little and then stopped for some more snacking- cheesy curly fries and a funnel cake.  Kenwood was in HEAVEN since we let him dig into the cheese fries and funnel cake all at once, he could not get the smile off of his face!

Kenwood finally got restless so we let him out of the stroller and put his leash on. HAHAHA. Yes, Leash. I think the correct term for it is "Harness" but nevertheless, we are the family who straps the little animal backpack to our kid and walks him around at the fair. I'm sorry, but it was seriously the BEST thing that ever happened to us! Kenwood could run full speed and in every which direction and we were not chaotically chasing after him or in constant worry that some crazy weirdo (lets face it, we're at the fair) would snatch up our cute little love bug.  So, yes. We leashed our kid. And no, I'm not sorry about it.

I think Kenwood's favorite part was the petting zoo. Yes, we took him to the disease infested nasty petting zoo.  But, he loved it. Thank goodness for my purse full of hand sanitizer!

Morning Laughs

Our little guy says some funny things when he wakes up in the morning. I woke up to him playing in his room singing "nooo, nooo, no!"

I opened his door and he sits up in bed an looks at me with a very confused look and proceeds to ask,

Kenwood: "Where da dog?"
Me: "He's outside."
Kenwood: "Where Daddy?"
Me: "He's at work but he'll be back."
Kenwood: "Where da HORSE?"
Me: "hahahahaha um we don't have a horse baby."

Healthy eating, Healthy child....it's harder than it sounds!

I broke down today and ordered a Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks. SUPER unhealthy and SUPER caffeinated-which is apparently a "no-no" in pregnancy.  I just couldn't resist myself.  I look forward to them all year long.  But, don't worry I have a nice stock of Caffeine-Free Diet Coke and Cherry 7-Up with Antioxidants in the fridge, so I'll try not to indulge too much!

We had playgroup today, which I desperately look forward to every week.  Our hostess with the mostess of course had yummy sandwiches and fresh fruit and chips for us to all enjoy.  The food is definitely a treat especially for the fact that the majority of us are pregnant!  Thanks Luci for all you do!

Anyways, we all get in our gossip and talks at playgroup and one topic that came up today was working out.  I literally cannot say those 2 words together without cringing. I HATE working out.  I had every intention this pregnancy to follow my BabyFit tracker. But, I have yet to actually start it.  For those of you who don't know about BabyFit, it's a subsidary of Spark People.  I am a HUGE believer in Spark People because I know from experience it actually works if you follow it.  BabyFit is just a version for pre-natal and post-natal diet and exercise specifically tailored for women that are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or just had a baby.  I'm hoping my self-discipline will start back up and I can start my "healthy weight-gain" soon.  Weight gain. UGHHHH.  Why would I want to work out if it's not to lose weight? Health nuts. Arg. Maybe I'll start after the State Fair ends....preggers over here wants to enjoy some deep-fried funnel cakes and corn dogs! Yum-O!!! Well, here's to trying! (I'm toasting with my Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte for all you haters)

Preliminary Ideas for Dreaming

Here are some preliminary decor ideas I'd like to use in the new house-that is, if we ever get a new house. Which means we actually have to sell our house.  So, here's to dreaming:

I think an oversized frame with a magnetic chalkboard would be great in the kitchen or by a mud bench. I'm in love with chalkboards lately- I have no idea why.  I like this, only much bigger :)  I'm thinking somewhere around a 24x30 size.

I totally stole this picture from another blog I follow (hope is the thing with feathers) but I stole it because I liked the gingham black and white curtain paired with the burlap tieback.  Very vintagy and darling. We have very rustic furniture (lots of dark leathers and dark woods), so I think some fabric choices along these lines would really add a touch of charm or "country elegance" if you will. 

I think these would be darling if we had a jack and jill bathroom for the kiddos. I would frame one on each vanity "side".  I have this image in my head of having blue and pink towels with just plain white everything else (rugs, shower curtain, etc) and each of their "sides" being very girly or boyish.  Hey, a girl can dream right?!

It's not so much that I like the LOOK of these, but I like the concept behind them.  This could be a fun idea for a play area or even just a few thoughts for me to jot down on the chalkboard I like so much :)

Etsy Addicts Anonymous

As most of you know, I have an uncanny obsession with Etsy.  I totally wish you could just buy a gift card for the whole Etsy.com and use it with any seller--I would ask for one for every birthday and Christmas, hands down.  My new Etsy obsession: Mom necklaces. Judge my cheesiness if you must.

You can find these here for my birthday, Dillon ;) 

UnderHerCharm

I'm also really liking the embellished bobby pins I've been seeing lately.  I have at least one bobby pin in my hair every day to hold back my annoying little whimsy hairs.  I really like these and I don't think they are too "little girly" for me to wear.  At least it will make those drabby bobby pins a little cuter :)

Bobby Pins

I am anxiously awaiting the SALE of our house so I can start fantasizing about house decor and such. I'll give you a sneak peak of some preliminary ideas in my next post.

Diaper Dilemma

It is a hassle every single day to change my crazy active toddler's diaper!  It is seriously a fight every time.  Thankfully, I have mastered putting a diaper on a moving toddler.  But, I'm anxiously awaiting the days of newborn diaper changes when they just sit there and can't move.  I hope this isn't a pre-cursor to how awful my life is going to be when we start potty training.  Oh bless. So, to any of you who have tips or tricks on how to keep your toddler still and preferably not screaming during an entire diaper change, it would be much appreciated!

Stroller Search

We have been very busy lately with trying to sell our house, trying to keep our house clean in order to sell it, trying to prepare ourselves for another little munchkin, and trying to relish in our time with our sweet Kenwood until baby sister gets here!  But, on the subject of preparing for the life of a family of FOUR, I have been desperately searching and researching double strollers (funny, I still have time to shop!). Here is the one I think I've decided on:

Schwinn Turismo Double Stroller

I think I've decided on this for a few reasons:

1.  I like the side-by-side vs. tandem because I know Kenwood will HATE the tandem since he's awfully nosey :)

2. I needed a double stroller that I could attach a carseat to--alot of them have a carseat adapter that comes seperately running anywhere around $50-$150, ummmm no thanks! 

3.  I LOVE that the kids and the parents get cup holders- alot of the "joggers" don't offer this.

4. Looks like good storage space underneath and I like the double canopy vs. one large canopy that covers both seats.

5. It's a jogger. I love love love my Jeep Jogger (that is desperately worn to pieces) even though I don't really JOG persay--I still like the single swivel wheel and it's really sturdy. 

6. It's not the most expensive!! It's about $100 cheaper than the other 2 I was thinking about (which make you buy a carseat adapter on top of that)

So, it looks like this Schwinn Turismo is the winner! YAY!

Stupid People

I am sitting here on Kenwood's Mother's Day Out day trying not to judge the stupid people that stole my purse right out of my unlocked car last night while we were at dinner.  Yes, I admit my own stupidity of leaving my purse in the car and not locking it. BUT, I would also like to point out that had I actually locked my car, they would have busted my window to get that stupid purse.  How do I know this? Because, another lady got broken into, and they bashed her window like a bunch of thugs.  Not judging. They obviously needed what was in there a whole lot more than us.  I sure hope they spent that $1 in my wallet on something worth it! Thankfully they didn't move fast enough to use my credit cards or write any checks before we got everything cancelled....who's the sucker now?

 But, what I'm really upset about is the fact that they took my son's favorite blankie.  The one he sleeps with EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT and drags around the house when he's ready to go "night, night".  So, in my midst of cancelling all my accounts and getting a new driver's license and trying desperately not to judge the poor people who obviously needed my son's warm blanket for they're night of homelessness on the street- I am scouring good 'ol Etsy to track down a blanket that is similar in fashion and texture to the old one. And, the God's of Etsy are looking down on us because I think I found just that, HERE.

His old blankie was chocolate swirl minky backed with a camo minky fabric and a blue satin ruffle around the edges.  This is the closest I could find:

It's identical except for our's had a blue ruffle around the edges- this just might work!!!! 

I also found a few more with the exact texture but different prints.  I'm thinking about changing up the design for our little guy, it'll still FEEL the same, right? I need help deciding, which is your favorite? (the original is still an option too!)

Writer's Block

I really didn't have a whole lot to write about today, but I've been trying to update my blog more regularly since I went on hiatus for so long-thanks for nothin', morning sickness.  Annoying to my readers, and frankly annoying to my sanity!  I started this blog because I've always loved to write.  With that said, I only like to write about things I WANT to write about, so I don't think I would've ever been very good at what my college education directed me to do-Journalism. BLAH for being "politically correct" all the time.  Which, I obviously am not.

I always got stuck with the most depressing subject matter. My high school English paper was on The Black Plague. Really? That in itself is just depressing. I also, at one point, did a biography paper on Judy Garland (Dorothy from Wizard of Oz), who had several suicide attempts and ended up dying of a drug overdose. Depressing. So, now that I am out of college with a Journalism degree and an MBA in "Leadership Development" (I honestly don't really even know what that means) I get to write about whatever the heck I want-and hopefully not too much of it is depressing! Today's subject matter is just me trying desperately to banish the writer's block for the day.

Belly Pics

This is really for my benefit because it's fun to keep track of a growing baby! It's something I wish I would've done when I was pregnant with Kenwood.  Anyways, here it goes! It doesn't look all that different with a month difference, but that could be a good thing! Happy 17 weeks to Miss Olivia today!

13 weeks

17 weeks

What a wonderful little holiday with my family! We went to the mall today for lunch, got Kenwood some new shoes for school, and got Dillon an extremely awesome "lake trash" swim suit--think neon yellow and zebra print. I am so lucky to have a husband that is not "too cool" to do fun stuff like wear crazy swim suits :)

We then proceeded to our "crib scouting" for Olivia. Leave it to us to fall in love with a set that we can't live without! We'll likely get it for her, but we'll be waiting until we move (and make sure she's still a girl at the next ultrasound!!! Ahhhhhhh)

We are gearing up to watch the Boise State v Virginia Tech game tonight. We should be nice and stuffed for some serious tv watching! What's on the menu tonight?

1) 2 filets grilled by my dearest husband. Marinated in some yummy Daddy Hinkles!
2) baked potatoes
3) corn on the cob, fresh from the shuck
4) fresh French bread loaded with butter (and parmesan cheese on my pieces!)

Bring on the pregnancy weight-I'm seriously eating like a mad woman these days. Slow 'er down Cara!

Sunday Funday

We had a very lazy little Sunday today!!! After a very eventful day-o-football yesterday I think Dillon and I were worn out! Kenwood must've played hard with his babysitter too because he did us all a little favor and slept in this morning!

We got up and did our normal weekend routine of watching cartoons in mommy and daddy's bed and then we went to church. We are so blessed that Kenwood LOVES to go to the church nursery! After church we made our debut at Mimi's Cafe for lunch--it was excellent! Neither of us had ever been there, so it was a nice change to "normal" BagelCafe (especially since we went there yesterday). Then we came home for Kenwood and preggo mommy to take a much needed nap while Dillon watched football. We took a trip to Marble Slab for a treat after naptime and came home and all watched Toy Story. It was a wonderfully lazy day with my precious boys!! I cherish the simple days we share together just as much as the eventful ones!!!

We are so excited for Dillon to be off work tomorrow and for us to get a whole extra day with him! The plan is to go "crib scouting" for Olivia. We are going to try to hold off buying one until we move--if that day ever comes! Wish us luck!

BOYZ II MEN

A few weeks ago Dillon  and I went with some of our friends to the BOYZ II MEN concert. Yes, I know your jealous.  It was AMAZING.  And, I will go back every. single. time. they come to OKC. Here are some pics from the legendary concert:

 I got a rose from them. I thought I was pretty dang special :)

Thank you, Ramen Noodles.

I made Kenwood the EASIEST dinner tonight! I went to the grocery store and everything today, but I wasn't that hungry, Daddy wasn't home yet and I just wasn't in the mood to really COOK anything (shocking, I know-I HATE cooking)! So, thank you to my new spin on Ramen Noodles! At 29cents a pack, you really can't mess them up!

1) Put the noodles in a bowl full of water and microwaved for 3:30 minutes.
2) Drain noodles
3) Add a tiny amount of butter or margarine
4) Add seasoning as preferred-- I didn't use the package that it comes with b/c it's too high in sodium for a little guy, but he was content with just the buttery noodles!
5) You can chop and add just about any veggie to this too! YUM-O I added some canned carrots that were already chopped up, I think Kenwood picked those all out and ate them first since you can't see them in the picture!

VOILA, easiest, quickest little meal for my little guy tonight.  I think this would be a great option for those kiddos just starting into their more advanced foods also, if you cut the noodles up really good and small.  Kenwood LOVED it! We'll be doing this again soon!

Well, Hello Fall!

I'd like to think (and hope and pray) that this morning sickness foolishness is finally beginning to pass!! Yay!!! Either it's passed or I'm loving this beautiful weather so much that I'm beginning not to notice the nausea. In either case, I'm just glad I'm back to being productive!

I am really hoping this weather continues- we have been enjoying playing outside for longer than 15 minutes at a time!

We have also recently started nighttime "pajama rides" on the golf cart to get the last of the energy out of our little rascal before bedtime. It's been so nice enjoying and taking advantage of the beautiful weather as a family-especially now that I feel good!! Can't wait for all the fun we're gonna have this fall-our last full season as just the three of us! I am truly blessed with the boys (and little girl to be) in my life! God is so GOOD!

Boomer Sooner

I think one of the most defining things people can mention when they talk about Dillon and I is Oklahoma Football. Simply put- it is a religion, only third in line to our love for Christ and our family. We were both raised in very Sooner born and bred families. I'm not sure either of us really had much of a choice surrounding our indefinite love for Oklahoma football.

Dillon and I with my parents and his parents.  Big XII championship in San Antonio 2007

My dad was actually an OU football player as well as my Uncle Tommy(who admiredly played on the undefeated seasons under Wilkinson and holds a national championship ring). Needless to say, I was dressed in sooner gear immediately after my arrival into this glorious world :).

OU football is also probably a major role player in the reason Dillon and I fell in love. I think I was the first girl he actually let go to a game with him---and to his surprise I actually knew what was going on and didn't ask ONE question the whole game. I think he was impressed :) I even think he thanked my dad for teaching me the ins and outs of the game.

Our early days of OU football together

Coldest game EVER! Big XII 2004 in Kansas City

Last year was our first year in 6 seasons to miss a HOME game. But, our darling little Kenwood was for the first time in our lives a priority greater than football :)  I cannot wait to take him to his first OU football game--probably next year.  But, we have already started him on his Sooner love!

9 months pregnant with Kenwood at OU/TX 2008

We brought him home from the hospital on the day of the Big XII Championship--he and daddy were dressed in their gear :)  

OU Football Season 2009

Can't wait until Saturday!!! BOOMER!!!!

Donut Dates

We totally stole this idea from one of my best friends, Sara who coincidentally is the mom to one of Kenwood's best friends!!

Lately kenwood and I have been doing donut dates for breakfast. It's been so fun for both of us! It's been great for me to force myself up and out of the house--since my morning sickness is unfortunately lingering still---and I KNOW Kenwood loves it because he asks for "do-dos" every morning now.

It's so great for us to spend quality time together before baby sister gets here! I'm going to have to make time for us to still have our alone time together. I love this little rascal!
