House work!

David and I have been wanting to replace most of the appliances in our house since we moved in a little over 2 years ago. All of the aplliances look to be about as old as the house (over 100 years old). We finally went out for a "date night" a few weeks ago and picked out all new appliances. They were delivered last week and have been slowly getting installed. It feels like we're a bunch of kids in a candy store.

We also had the newly built stairs and landing stained. We still have a big list of things to get done in this house, but this has definitely been a great start. Now I can finally start painting all of the rooms on the first floor, hopefully before this baby arrives!

I'm back!

Our laptop completely crashed on us about 2 weeks ago. We were back and forth on the phone with HP for what seemed like years, but were finally able to get them to take the laptop back for repairs. Their service was amazing. Everything was shipped overnight free of charge to us and we were physically without our laptop for about 4 days. The new and improved laptop arrived just shy of 1 hour ago.

I felt so lost without it. I hate depending on my phone for all of my internet activity. It's just not the same. Anyway, I have lots of catching up to do on many things!

Taxes Done!

I completed our federal and state taxes using Turbo Tax. So simple, easy, and cheap. They're done, now bring on the refund! I can't wait to purchase paint and put a dent in our "to do list" before this baby arrives. Thank you Turbo Tax, see you next year!

23+ weeks

I will be 24 weeks on Friday. I feel great! I've found the energy to get back into my running and sometimes walking routine. I've been trying to get the kids outside in the jogging stroller as much as possible. It feels great to get out and move about. I miss running like I was before finding out that I was pregnant. I hope to get right back into my old routine after I deliver and am cleared by my OB.

This pregnancy seems to be going so slowly for me, but I am definitely not complaining about it. I seem to get more and more nervous/anxious about labor and delivery with each pregnancy. I am petrified of full term status with this pregnancy.

Although, I am very excited and ready to complete my family. I thought I would be sad about this being my last pregnancy and maybe it won't hit me until after delivery, but I'm looking forward to it as of right now. I'm ready to enjoy watching them grow and mature. I'm ready to enjoy and spend as much time with them as possible.

Random picture!

I love this picture of Logan, it makes me giggle everytime that I look at it. We recently purchased a laptop for Lily because she has been receiving homework assignments that require the internet (we only have an iPad, 2 iPhones, and non functioning PC in the house). She loves playing with the webcam and Logan falls right into her traps. They're just so cute and loveable. They keep me entertained and full of life. I love them!

Big time slacker here

I haven't blogged in over a year. Awful, I know. Things have been beyond crazy and busy around here between the 3 kids, David and my work schedules, school activities, after school activities, etc. It's been NUTS around here I tell ya!

I have been waking up on my own every single morning around 4-5 am for no darn reason. You'd think being 23+ weeks pregnant, that it's because I had to pee or am uncomfortable. NOPE, none of the above. It's insane and by 6 pm every single night, I'm ready to crash from pure exhaustion. Anyways, this morning when I stumbled downstairs at 4:15 am, I started browsing the internet and came across my neglected blog. It's been so long that I was forced to 'recreate' my blog. So, here I am starting over from scratch.

Hopefully, I'll be able to keep up with it now that I have a functioning computer and all of the time in the wee hours of the morning to do so. Now, I'm off to catch up on years of blog posts that I'm behind on. TTYL!

Why can't I just win the lottery?!

If it's not one thing, it's always another. Our list of need to replace items is getting longer and longer. A washer and dryer have been up there for a few weeks now. Now we can add a dishwasher, refridgerator, and computer. The holidays have hurt our pockets big time shortly after my maternity leave. We have some major catching up to do and have been working our butts off to get there. It's just frustrating when we start working towards one thing and then something else comes along with it. Overtime is forbidden at my job. David's job offers it about once a month, if that. We've cut back on things and started budgeting big time. We are determined to get back on track like we were before Lincoln arrived. It's just going to take some time, patience, and hard work!
