Because we didn't already have enough on our plates with redoing the kitchen cabinets, we decided to build my garden at the same time too! It's a good thing Josh is a hard worker and likes to stay busy.
From the very first time that we looked at buying this house, we were excited because there was plenty of room to have a garden in the backyard. (maybe Josh wasn't excited, but I was :)
After 10 months of living here, we finally decided to get it done so I could plant some vegetables this season. I thought it would be a really easy process, but it was a little more involved than I planned. It all turned out perfectly though and Josh did a great job building everything and running the water lines.
He also bought me the orange tree I've been wanting for years!
I have two 4'x8' box gardens now. I'm excited for the plants to grow and start producing. We loved having the veggies out of the garden we did in Maricopa and missed it last year.
Our ficus trees froze and died so we also had to replace those with some Ash trees. I didn't get any pictures of them yet, but Josh did a great job with them as well :)
Here is a belly shot comparison from last pregnancy and this pregnancy at 30 weeks...... (I'm surprised to see these pics side by side because I Swear I'm bigger this time! but it doesn't look like it in these pictures)
Pregnant with Presley Pregnant with #2
I feel like my stomach muscles are stretched to the limit and I'm a lot more uncomfortable this pregnancy than last. I get wiped out walking through the grocery store and then start having braxton hicks contractions.
My favorite thing to eat this time around is In & Out burgers and fries! Oh my gosh I love them! I'm lucky that they are open 24 hours, and that Josh passes one on his way home from work at night. I usually crave them the most right around 10pm, so it works out nicely. lol
I can't believe we are only 10 weeks from my due date now!
I'm seriously considering my option of having a repeat c-section so we could actually be 9 weeks away since I can schedule that for 39 weeks.
Here is a comparison shot of my belly from 5 weeks ago and now...... maybe I'm angling the camera different because I'm further along in the picture on the right.
I'm sure you know I think my kid is awesome, especially because this whole blog is overloaded with pictures of her. But really, she IS! She is so fun :)
When I pull the camera out to take her picture she always starts going through her crazy faces..... here are just a couple from this string of pictures I took.
She sleeps through the night pretty dang good. But every once in a while she will wake up and Not want to be put back down. So we will read a few books and take a picture to send to daddy while he is still working.
On this night she was sad about a dream she had and has a little tear on her cheek.
Here is a little video clip of Josh playing the bagpipes a couple of weeks ago. He hasn't pulled them out in a couple of years so it was fun to see him play them again. The dogs weren't sure what was going on and they started howling in the background. (I'm sure the neighbors wondered what was going on too, lol)
My sister-in-law Bethany asked me to make her an apron for her wedding luncheon to wear over her dress. I kept putting off making it because I wasn't sure what I was going to do or how I wanted it to look. I spent a lot of time wandering around the fabric section of JoAnns trying to find something that would work with her wedding colors, that would also be pretty. I finally found some stuff that I thought would work and I put myself to work on it.
I was very pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. I was a little nervous at times because I didn't have a pattern, but in the end I got what I wanted.
We were able to go to Albuquerque for a couple of days for Josh's little sister's wedding. For some reason I didn't take any pictures of that! Hopefully we will get to see the professional ones soon though!
During the reception Presley was having a great time dancing and running around!
Here are a couple of short videos of her dancing.....
After all of the wedding festivities, Josh and I (& Presley) took a little vacation to Santa Fe New Mexico. During a golf tournament last year Josh had won a stay at this really nice resort so we obviously had to take advantage of it. We were very impressed by the place and had a good time together. Presley loved swimming in the indoor pool, even though it was still pretty chilly water.
We also ate at the yummy buffet a couple of times, and Presley LOVED that too!
She ate so much food, and before we could even give her a cookie she was laying her head on the table groaning, lol. It was super cute!
