Buggs and More Fun!

As promised the completed room pictures have been posted!! Please note the walls are VERY bare, please send bug (grasshopper) artwork!! It took nearly two weeks but oh what a time we've had doing it :) Two of my bff's from highschool (DJ and Latatious) painted the room for me while I stayed in the well ventilated garage painting the bookshelf and toy trunk. The room started as a dusty dirty rose but turned to a nice cream with a blue top boarder and green bottom boarder to match the furniture. The changing table I chose to be red to give the room more primary colors and plus it went with his bedding. The grasshopper you see in the middle of his bed is the one David and I found on our trip to New Orleans. At the current moment his name is Bright Eyes. Freyja helped me wash down the crib today and then daddy built it for us. Granmama came over and helped move the final piece of furniture into the room so now next week I can focus on getting all the "first year" stuff into his room and giving Freyja back her room which is currently so packed we had to dig a path to/from her bed! Freyja also test drove the crib today to make sure it and Mr. Bright Eyes were suitable for baby brother to sleep on and with.

Today we went swimming for the first time this year. She dove right in like a pro and started back up swimming like a fish! I had to get her new wings today since her old ones were (a) lost and (b) too small anyway :) Plus she needed a noodle to help paddle around. The water was definitely chilly but not enough to keep us out. Even Star went for a quick swim with us! She hates for us to be in the pool without her! As you can tell from the pix I definitely need to dig out the ol' pregnancy bathing suit because Jax just about popped the seams on this one today! We're headed back to the pool again tomorrow, Bugg just can't get enough!! I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of that pool this summer :)

Thats it for now, I really just wanted to say the pix are posted so make sure to check out the Picasa albums (Room Renovation and Freyja Rose 33months) for the latest! Enjoy :)

Bunny Tales

Well this weekend was FAR from boring I am pleased to announce! Saturday started as normal...alarm goes off at 5am I stumble to the shower and then somehow make it to work while still half asleep. 10am comes and 200kids RUSH into Winn Dixie for the egg hunt! But shortly before that I happen to glance out at the crowd and what do I see? A cute little blondie cuddled close to her ruggedly handsome daddy I am proud (most of the time) to call my hubby! Tears of course rush to this pregnant mothers eyes as I swell with pride over the fact that (1) daddy brought her to see mommy AND the Easter bunny at work and (2) because their mine dammit!! Well...work grinds to a halt FINALLY at 2pm and I come home to my adorable daddy/daughter duo and as I'm changing from uniform to comfy close I look down and find.....OMG'sh I'M PREGNANT!!! Seriously! Between the time I left for work and the time I got home Jaxon rotated and popped my belly right on out there for the world to see! So I'm now dressed and LOOKING pregnant as I make my way down the hallway I glance out the back door and notice theres new chairs on the patio!! The Easter Bunny made an early visit before our party!! I show hubby the NEW & IMPROVED belly, which he's just as shocked as I am, and then we get ready for our gumbo party with the four women (non-related) my life would be incomplete without.  Saturday night kicked off with Wendy, Latatious, DJ and all their better/other halfs and offspring crowding into my house for a night of laughter, good food and tons of fun! Pix are in the Picasa album if you care to look :)

Sunday was another "why oh why does 5am come sooooooo early" day...After work I headed to mom and dad vh's and hid a bunch of eggs in the yard for my Bugg then came home and while daddy was playing distractor, the Easter Bunny snuck in and dropped off a basket of goodies for Freyja. We are STILL playing tea party and her gator egg is in water now so in 24-48hrs we'll have a pet alligator :) Ok...yeah....a little sponge one! Then we headed to Opa and Granmama's to find eggs and gorge ourselves on an Easter lunch! Easter pix are of course in the Picasa albums as well (32month album)

Today....why oh why does 7am come soooooooo early??? I dropped Bugg off at Opa's and headed for my monthly well mommy/grasshopper check up. Jaxon hated the doppler (heartbeat listener thingy) and kicked it everytime the Dr would find a good spot to try and listen. I have gained 4lbs, all bp and other junk are normal, I'm measuring right at 23wks (right on schedule) and doc says as long as we keep up the good work he should pop out on his own and us not have to worry about preclampsia and all that other fun crap Freyja and I went through. Now Bugg and I are curled up on the couch watching cartoons til its at least 70 outside (around noon) to head outside and play for the day. Tonight is "girls night" at Wendy's. It sucks that Latatious is sooooooo far away (New Jersey) that we can't do this more often but at least when she's home we can get together and have a blast!

So thats all the news on the front this time around. Will blog again later this month as I'm sure something else exciting will need to be immortalized in typeface as well!
