25 weeks

Well, today I'm officially 25 weeks closer to having our baby Boy here! Here are some highlights and lows of months 5-6

Good things

*Most of the time I look pregnant and not just chubby

*I don't have to pee as often (but still all the time)

* You can see my belly move when the baby kicks (and others can feel him now)

*Things I love: Hot baths, breakfast sandwiches, Orange Juice, Laying down, fruit, sherbet, special K cereal, hamburgers and WATER, my winter boots

Bad Things

* Sometimes my hands are a little swollen

* I feel like I waddle

*My feet are sore

some random pictures

Darick and Jayne looking cute, Jayne is in this really cute stage (she's always cute) but she giggles and laughs and tells funny stories... and is just crazy, we love her!

Jayne hung out with Dampa and Gamma this weekend. She wanted nothing to do with Darick or me. It was really cute, every time Darick's dad left the room, Jayne would run around yelling "Dampa, are you?! C'mere" She wouldn't let them them out of her sight

Here's Jayne singing and dancing in the living room, she has some really sweet moves

Jayne got a little recliner, like a child size one, and Cindy likes so sleep in it. Normally it has a blanket or something there too, and Cindy just curls up in it. Cindy's pretty old, and we're going to be sad when she kicks it, she's such a sweet little dog

I'm not a dog person by any means, but who couldn't love that face?

Congrats Jared!!

Darick's step brother, Jared, graduated from BYU-Idaho today with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. We're so proud of him! Here are a few pictures from the big event

Pretty!!

Jayne was all dressed up for church today, she looked really cute! So we went outside to take some quick pictures. Our little girl is so big now!

She was getting kind of cold, and being really funny, making all kinds of cute faces

She's winking in this one, so funny!

City Mat Winner

Thanks for all the name suggestions! Some of them included some of my favorite names, and others were fun to read, but I don't think I'd use them... I'm more of a "traditional" names person. And thank you for all the comments! I love comments and was hoping to get 25 of them, I was shocked and excited to break 100...122 to be precise! Thanks again!! I know I spelled school wrong, totally my bad, I just mixed up my letters when I was sewing them on, I'll fix it before I mail it out.
So without anymore delay, the winner is comment number 32

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway... City Play Mat

Hello friends! I've always wanted to participate in the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day... and now I am! Make sure to check out the other bloggers having a giveaway too

OK so lets get to the goods... I'm having a baby boy in a few months, and I've already been thinking about boy gift ideas. Let me tell you, I have a very girly little girl, so it's quite a change of thinking. This play mat was my trial to see if I can do boy... I think it was a success! Made out of scrap fabric and felt, this little town could keep your little man entertained at church, in the car, at home, in a plane... I think just about anywhere. There are buildings, cars, trees, a boat, pond and roads to explore. All the pieces fit into a pocket on the back for easy storage!

To win this play mat all you have to do is leave a comment (please no "PICK MEs"), and if you feel so inclined share with me some Boy names, because I have no idea what we should name our little man. You have until Dec. 6th to enter, I'll announce the winner on the 7th... Oh please leave me someway to contact you, if I don't hear back from the winner by the 8th, I'll pick someone new. Sorry, no international shipping this time. I guess that's it...thanks for stopping by!

It's a....

BOY!! My appointment went well today, everything about or little man looks perfect so far. He's a little cuddle bug though. He was pretty much as far down as he could get, and was scrunched up into a tiny little ball. Every time the ultrasound tech tried to get him to move, he would get into a tighter ball, and put his chin to his chest. He was pretty much hiding his face. So here is a pregnancy picture, I'm 21 weeks.... YAY for BOYS!
