Cutter's Halloween Nails

Yes I painted the dogs nails orange for Halloween. I know poor boy!!!

Girl Bedding

Well after getting a quote for custom bedding and seeing the price, I walked into a baby store and finally found my girl bedding! I love it and it still has some patchwork in it.

I don't have a picture of the boy bedding, but it is made by CoCaLo and is called Round Up or Round Em'Up!

New Diaper Bag!!!

Since Cliff was gone hunting in Arkansas for the week I decided to go visit my mom and she ended up taking off a day from work so we could go look at baby stuff! We actually ended up going to Tyler and invited my grandmama to go with us to Storkland there. We had a fabulous lunch at Potpourri and then went to Storkland. Mom said she would go ahead and buy my bag for me and we got to the register and my grandmama got for me instead! I absolutely love it! its a Kalencom, so its laminate, and then comes with a changing pad, insulated bottle holder and laminate bag to hold miscellaneous baby items! Basically this is my new purse!!! I can't wait to use it!!!

Between 20 and 21 weeks

Woohoo for the half-way mark!!! I went to the doctor on October 14 and everything was looking great. Still strong heartbeat, my blood pressure was great and I even lost weight this visit!!! I was super stoked! My next visit is November 1 and Dr. Pierce will decide then if I am far enough along to his satisfaction to go ahead and schedule a sonogram so I can finally know the gender of my little butterbean! Cliff and I are getting very anxious!!! Ready to plan and decorate the nursery!!!

Curly hair!!! Heading out for Kandice's birthday dinner!

Garage Cleaning ... Part 1

Well the garage was getting on my nerves and stuff kept piling up, so I took time to clean. I organized all of my cleaning stuff and backup products on the shelf... Cleaned the entire garage with the shop vac and even mopped the garage with Pine Sol. Yes... I think I am now officially categorized as on OCD cleaner!!! However, the garage is sparkling and clean. Part 2 is yet to happen, but this is more of Cliff's organization and I will have it all out of whack if I even try to begin the process there!

Joe T's for Birthday

Birthday dinner with Cliff at Joe T's!!! This was last minute, so don't pay too close attention to my hair! :)

Birthday love

I told Cliff not to do anything for my birthday this year, since we still had doctor bills to pay for his surgery on his hand and the fact of having to have my OB paid in full in December. Then the root canal definitely topped it off. But low and behold, he always goes the extra mile to show he cares!

Day of fun for my birthday

So since Cliff was working nights on my actual birthday and all days around we decided to spend a day going to lunch and to the movies. That all changed with the root canal and pain I was having, but we made up the day and finally went and saw Social Network! Loved the movie!!! We walked around the mall and just enjoyed the day together since it had been close to 2 weeks with the new shift!

Root Canal.. OH NO!

So the pain started in August and was just on and off. It would hurt a few days, then stop. I went to the dentist for a checkup and x-rays didn't show a thing back in August. Well the day after my birthday the pain intensified!!! Called the dentist and made another appointment. X-rays taken again and nothing still. So the dentist decided to smooth one side of my mouth out to maybe correct the bite a little. I was on Tylenol while there since the pain got bad before I got in, so didn't feel much. 5:30 hit that evening and I was in complete tears. I was freaking out knowing that my blood pressure and stress levels were thru the roof, Cliff was working nights, and I was just in complete pain. I went to Walmart for Ambesol and that didn't do a thing for the next 14 hours. Nor did the Tylenol. So I was awake all night with an ice pack on my face since I thought it was swelling. It was Wednesday by now and I called the doctor first thing. Went in and they noticed that my sinus cavities were inflammed, just like my cheek and its was filled with infection. So I was placed on an antibiotic and got some Tylenol 3 for pain! Both pregnancy safe!

So I waited until the following Monday and went in bright and early (7:30 am) Monday morning to downtown Fort Worth for a possible root canal. Low and behold that procedure was performed! It was smooth and easy, even though I was scared to death. I even brought Cliff with me and I never do that! Dr. Torgenson was a dream come true. Her staff was great and my mouth was soon to be pain free!!! Here I am 2 weeks later and feeling much better! I will go back in January, once the insurance covers more again and get a crown on that tooth!

Busy bee... 18 weeks along

As usual, I have been busy!!! Not sure where my time has escaped too! Well the deer lease is a big part of it, but I have enjoyed every minute hanging out with Cliffy and helping him a little, even though most is mutual support! He had lots of work to do as usual this year and then in addition to moving his stand and it falling over in a storm one moved. Extra time was definitely vested there.

I am feeling great!!! I can't complain overall, though I still have the right to complain a little! My hips have really been hurting lately, but its completely normal. But wow, I never experienced growing pains growing up, but now I definitely have gotten the privilege of having them later in life!

I'm craving lots of sweet, fruits and Mexican food lately. The sweets parts i could do without, but what can I say.

I go back on October 14th for another appointment and may find out that day or within 2 weeks of the appointment to what I am having! Cliff and I are getting very anxious!!!

Today is also my 29th birthday and I am incredibly blessing with an amazing husband, parents, in laws, family and friends!!! I'm not doing much since Cliff is working nights and sleeping during the day, but just the sweet message and cards have meant so much this year as I grow another year older. I can't wait to celebrate my 30th next year with my little doll!!!

Hope everyone has a blessed week and day! XOXO~~~
