28 weeks and the garden is in!

28 Weeks

Momma and her big boy

Well 28 weeks!  It's hard to believe how fast time has gone by.  In as little as 10-14 weeks the baby will be here! Still feeling pretty good.  I am having a hard time sleeping here and there, but for the most start still can't complain. 

We finally got our veggies in the ground.  We got the fence up first...

Mapped out our rows...

Then got to planting!

 

Getting their first watering.

Momma Lute out there 6 months pregnant but loving every minute of it.

 

Plant your rows straight and long.

Last but not least a hammock to lay and enjoy.

27 Weeks time for some tunes and sheep

So we are officially in our 3rd trimester!  Time is flying.  It seems like only yesterday we found out we were pregnant.  Still for the most part feeling pretty good.  I am having some trouble sleeping here and there but I guess that is just getting me ready for no sleep with the baby.  The baby is kicking and rolling like crazy.  All day long the baby lets me know it's there.  I am feeling more like it's a girl right now.  Only reason I say that is that when the baby is kicking like crazy, Dale puts his hand on my belly and it stops.  That tells me daddy's little girl.  Dale decided to try some tunes to calm the baby. 

Real sexy right!?

Blackbeard of course had to get in on the action

While we should have been at our Bradly birth classes, some things hold higher precedence!  First weekend in May is Maryland Sheep and Wool!!!  While I really don't need any yarn or wool, there were a few things we had in mind to get.  We finally purchased a Sheep Incognito piece.  Now that we have a room worthy of one we picked up a piece.  It will be here in about 2-3 weeks.  The piece we got features a sheep laying on a moon.  We liked this piece because it had the blues and yellows that we love in her work and in a way it said babies room, which eventually my studio will morph into.  We also got a small piece of framed art with sheep and a black kitty on his back.  A small stuffed black sheep for the baby was a must!  Only yarn we got was a mossy green to make a new hat for Dale.  Only bad thing about this show is it made me want my sheep even more!

This was the first chance for the bellies to meet!  Maria is two weeks behind me.  Brynn is 3 weeks behind Maria.  And Meaghan is Due December I believe.  DON'T DRINK THE WATER :-)

Cutie!

Yes she is spinning the fur right off the bunny!  Love this!  Makes me want a bunny :-)

Loved the coloring of this guy.

These little guys were just born that morning at Sheep and Wool!  So tiny!

Vaca and 24 weeks

24 weeks!  And let me tell you this child is kicking like crazy!

So far we have had a great pregnancy.  The baby kicks a lot so I take that as a good sign.

We recently were able to get away and spend a few days in Florida visiting Dales Sister.

I could not wait to put my butt in a bikini on the beach.  The sun felt wonderful!

This is the Jupiter Lighthouse.  We did walk all the way to the top.  I made it without losing my breath.

Before and After Renovations

Since I spent the evening cleaning the upstairs, I figured it was time to take pictures for the before and afters. These pictures really show how much a difference the construction made. Mark and my sexy husband did an amazing job! I love the rooms :-)

A few new storage solutions. Gotta love Ikea!

My favorite addition. A space for me to work and sew in.

My own little retreat area, for now :-) This will eventually have to turn into a baby room.

My second favorite spot. The window bench is also a storage bench for all the garb.

Gardening and baby kicks!

We finally are doing a vegetable garden! I got the seeds all planted today.

Our fruitless plum tree looks amazing right now!

This is the rest of the veggies. Six total in all.

Meanwhile; Dale is getting started on tilling a spot for our future garden.

We hit a exciting milestone yesterday. Dale was finally able to feel the baby moving. Not only could we feel it but you could see it as well. We were both mesmerized watching my belly jump here and there. Loved it!

Dale decided it was time for music for the baby. Whats the first thing he plays? "Roll me bully boys" from the new Robin Hood. Go figure!

Oh yes and the daffodils look amazing as well!

19 Weeks!

So we are 19 weeks now, almost halfway there. So far all is good. I am feeling pretty big already. I have a feeling I am going to be a, as we call it in my family, "Two ton Tessi". For the most part I feel OK though. Sleep has been a little funky so I am a bit tired now and then. Some days I have the energy and some I don't. Today, I don't LOL.

I'm super excited that we were able to book a trip down to Florida to see Dale's sister. I am counting down the days to that! We have never meet. So I am excited to finally meet her and I am excited to put my butt in a bikini on a beach for a few days. My body and skin desperately need some sun. So at the very least I have something to look forward to for a few days, that is keeping me somewhat perky.

I am dancing in a show tomorrow night, belly and all :-) I am excited as I miss dancing. I just hope I can make it through the 8 minute song I picked out to do! Anyway, nothing else excited at the moment. Here are our 19 week pictures.

Blackbeard was getting jealous no one was taking his picture. That's my boy!
