Zoo Day

This week we went to the zoo.. It was a great day.
Our zoo has a water park, so most of the morning was spent there. :)

After the water park I put her hair up in a ponytail :)

We also got to feed the giraffes but my camera acted up so I didn't get any pix of her feeding them. :/

Her favorite animals :)

Easter outfit

I spent a long time looking around for the perfect Easter dress for my sweet girl. I LOVE LOVE Bishop dresses, so I knew I wanted that, plus I wanted something w/ purple b/c she didn't have a purple one. I found a beautiful one on Ebay, made her a matching hairbow (a new line I'm creating for the shop) and I thought she looked beautiful, truly my little angel. :)

My sweet angel

Her pretty new bow. Soon coming to BOWquet :)

25 weeks

Here I am on Easter Sunday, 24. 3 weeks. I feel so huge all of a sudden, I feel like she has taken over my entire belly. lol But that's ok, that's what she's suppose to do :) I have been eating more and more, I always feel hungry. lol I'm trying to watch my carbs intake, to avoid gestational diabetes.. I'll be tested again in about 4 weeks or so. Baby sister is moving around a lot lately. I think she finally move up, she had been sitting so low for so long. I love watching my belly move as she moves. :) I've been getting her clothes ready, I've taken out all of big sister's clothes and gone through it and I've bought baby a few things. I need more newborn stuff, so I'm been on shopping mode. lol

My cravings have not changed. Still love Moe's, cheese, chocolate and coke :) I ALWAYS crave chocolate. I never did w/ my first daughter...lol I actually have chocolate cake sitting on my kitchen counter, constantly calling my name. :) It's SO good, I love cake. Not much has changed. I think I've been on nesting mode these past few days, so my house is actually staying clean. :) I love it!

We're working on getting the girls room ready. Right now we're finishing up redoing our bedroom, then we'll focus our attention on the girls room and also turning the sunroom into the playroom. So excited!!

Wordless Wednesday

bedroom make over

My husband and I have been redoing our room for the past year. Last year I bought my comforter set and curtains. About 2 months ago we painted the room a chocolate brown. Then the hunt began for new furniture. We've had our furniture for 6 years, my husband had it before that in his old room, his stepdad had it before that. So it was 30+ years old and falling apart. Anyways, after months of searching, we finally found the set we liked, from Ikea. We spent our Easter Sunday putting it all together, it looks so awesome! I still have to get stuff to decorate the room, and we're still waiting on the 2nd dresser. Once all that is put up, I'll post more pictures. :) This morning was the first time in a long time that I made up my bed. :) it looks so pretty.

24 Weeks

Today I am 24 weeks.. This pregnancy is flying! This week I've felt much better.. Migraines have subsided. I still get them, but it's not as bad as it has been. I've had a lot of good days, and it's awesome! I'm focusing on my toddler spending extra time with her and making sure she gets out of the house more.

On Sunday night I looked at my reflection and it seemed like my belly just grew in a matter of minutes. I looked bigger that night than I did in the morning. Kinda freaky. lol I'm showing a lot quicker this time than the first pregnancy. It's all good. I just hope I don't get overly huge. I've been eating whatever I want, and lately I've needed more food than before. So I'm trying to eat more, but stay on the healthier side. I am a junk food lover, my addiction is cheetos. But I don't buy them anymore, b/c when they're in my pantry, I eat an entire bag in 24 hours. lol

My cravings have been the same, cheetos, Moe's, cheese, chocolate, coke... Anything sweet and junky. haha SO as you can see it's hard to eat healthy when I don't crave it. Though I have been craving apples lately, which I made sure we have at home.
I had gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy, I was diagnosed at 32 weeks... So this time, I've already been tested and passed. I'll be tested again at 28 weeks and I"m praying I pass and that I can be GD free this time around. My eating habits do not help, so I really need to watch what I eat. I even turned down chocolate chip ice cream last night. lol

Baby sister is moving a lot lately. She is a puncher. She rarely kicks, but man does she love to punch her mommy. My daughter is still very "patiently" awaiting her sister's arrival. Anytime she sees a picture of a baby or sees a baby she asks if that's her baby sister. lol It's so sweet. I know she'll love her baby sister when she does get here.

Here I am at 23 weeks 4 days. :)
