8 weeks (almost)

Tomorrow my little bug will be 8 weeks old...Where did the time go? He is growing like a weed! He has brought alot of joy to our lives and a lot less sleep to my life. But I am totally ok with having less sleep he is soooo worth it! He usually sleeps 5-6hrs a night! He has found his voice and uses it alot weather it be crying or cooing! he is trying hard to giggle and it is really cute to watch! He smiles now when you smile or talk to him. He is a total mommas boy so far...but likes his daddy too! I don't have any pics on this computer so you will have to wait until my next update for pictures. He has his 2 month check next week and I will post his stats then with a picture!

Two weeks!

Two weeks ago today we welcomed Barrett James into the world! He was 9 pounds 12 ounces and was 20 inches long! He was born via c-section. Can't believe that he is 2 weeks old already. Not sure where the time goes.

Merry Christmas and God Bless you all!

Nic, Jen, Barrett, and Remi

Well, here we sit this morning entering our 37th week of pregnancy! So pretty much anytime now we could be embarking on this new chapter of our lives...Hard to imagin what our lives will be like with a little one here all the time...

During these last 37 weeks i have tried hard not to complain much, but there are times when i have and nic is always right there to try to make me feel better or do whatever task needs done that i am stuggling to do. He has helped more with daycare kids, cooked more, and not complained everytime he sits down and i ask for something...I am soooo lucky to have him even if we did fight this week and my nice hormones did ask him not so nicely to move out (the suddend mood changes really stink sometime!)

Nic, I love you and thank you for ALWAYS being there when i need you the most!!!

My first random dozen!

1. Candy corn: Your thoughts?
I like it...love it with peanuts the best!!!

2. Briefly, what was the first conversation you ever had with your spouse? (or best friend, if you're not married.) (Or someone significant, like your librarian.)
Well, that is probably something i will NEVER forget...Here is the convo...Me-Hey did you know that your name is spelled wrong? Nic-Well, there is no H in my name. Me- Oh so that means there is no K in nic? Great first convo don't ya think?

3. Could you ever become a vegetarian?
Maybe for lots of money...otherwise no

4. Have you ever dressed up your pet in a costume?
oh yes remi has a halloween costume...a bumble bee!




5. Name something about childhood that you miss (like Clark Bars, Teaberry Gum, Malibu Barbie, cracking fake eggs on people's heads with your fist and "It's the Great Pumpkin" airing only once a year).
Oh my...i miss no worries...and not having a care in the world!! No stress...

6. Have you ever won a trophy? If not, what do you deserve a trophy for?
I do have some for softball...

7. When do you think is the appropriate time to begin playing Christmas music each year?
If you ask the daycare kids we would listen to it all year long...nic and i will start in november...but i will also start decorating for chirstmas before thanksgiving this year just because well i am getting ready to have a baby!

8. What's your favorite board game? I like monopoly, life and trivial pursuit...

9. How do you feel about surprises (receiving, not giving)?
I like good surprises...flowers from nic just because are the best!!!

10. Is it easy for you to say, "I'm sorry?"
yeah. I am ok admitting when I am wrong or need to say sorry.

11. What is your favorite candle scent?
Apple Cider or anything cinnamion

12. October is traditionally "open house" time in public schools. If you had a literal open house in your home (like a reception) what light snacks would you serve visitors and what would you show them (as in art projects, graded papers) that would uniquely represent you?
Well i would serve candycorn and peanut mix, and cookies, with lemonaid and spiced cider. I would show them our new antique tables and the baby's room probably!

It truly is heaven sent!

In a few short weeks we will finally get to meet our little baby bug!!!! Nic and I are sooooo excited to finally meet the little bug that has been moving and growing inside of me...I can't believe just how fast time has gone...Can't wait for the changes that are coming our way!!!!

Gender...

What will the little bug be??? a boy??? or a girl??? I have never felt stongly either way...some days boy some days girl...really don't care what we have, just want healthy...Nic thinks boy....My mom is like me and goes back and fouth...my dad doesn't care...

Bithdate guesses....i am guessing the week of thanksgiving, nic guesses the week before as does our good friend cara, and my parents are saying sometime during my 37th week...which starts the 13th of november...yes that is a friday...

feel free to leave your guesses as well!!!

900days

WOW! 900 days that is alot! That is the amount of days that Nic and I have been married as of today! Where has the time gone? Look what we have to show for 900 days of marriage...we are still very much in love, we have a beautiful home, a wonderful dog, an angel baby watching over us at all times and only 65 days or less until we meet our new little bug who moves ALL the time.

I am soooo blessed to have nic in my life. I am not sure what i would do without him...God truly sent me my soul mate, though at the time I would have laughed had someone told me that I would marry Nic Lynch...He is the best husband i could ask for. I love him more today then I did 900 days ago and I will love him more in 900 days then I do right now.

picture is from my Cousin Catherines wedding this past weekend...I was a bridesmaid!
I love you babers! Your totally rock!!!!
