6 1/2 months

I feel like my stomach is getting HUGE. You can totally tell I am pregnant. The last month has been ok. I have started sleeping a little better the past week. The baby is kicking like crazy and my stomach looks like there is an alien in it when he moves around. I feel like my stomach is getting bigger then it did with Emmy! I am gaining plenty of weight now days and wish it would slow down a little bit! I had a hard time gaining weight the first 20 weeks but I am gaining 1-2 pounds a week now :( I am about ready for pregnancy to be over! Too bad I have 14 weeks left :(

We had a little photo shoot and Emmy thought she was SO HOT :) She loves posing:) So thats why there are random pictures on this blog.

Ready To Cry!

I am ready to start crying. I feel like I have no idea what I am doing. Emmy turns 3 in January. That means the preschool search is on! We went to the aquarium today and I was talking to some other moms about it. Most of their kids are born in September or November where as Emmy was not born until January. Alot of the cut offs are September 1st but there are a few that will take kids if they are born before December 1st. I have found 2 schools that will take Emmy. 1 school is WAY EXPENSIVE and the other has me on a waiting list. I am so frustrated because I feel like she is ready to get out and start learning from someone other then me. I also feel like she should go because all of her friends are going and I would hate to have her not learn things when they are. I know she is ready! Cross your fingers that she will get into the one that has her on a waiting list!

Birthday dinner #3 at The Cheesecake Factory. Thanks Tori and Lisa!

Emmy's new ADORABLE kitchen! I love it as much as she does :) Yesterday we went to Sugarhouse Park and fed the ducks.
Daddy and Emmy lounging at my 4th birthday dinner :)
Happy Birthday to us! We were born on the EXACT same day just 4 years apart.

Happy Birthday Bud!

Hanging out with my sisters.

Congrats Emily! Only 4 weeks left!

This weekend was packed with fun except for Friday night. I was cleaning like a mad woman because I had a baby shower at my house the following day. Cleaning when I am pregnant is horrible! I notice every little thing and HAVE to get it done. Anyway, I started getting contractions every 6 min. After about 3 hours I called my Dr and he said go into labor and delivery. I didn't think they were bad enough to go in so I laid down and had Matt clean. Sure enough they were gone the next morning and everything was fine. The moral of the story is I need a cleaning lady :) ha ha jk.

Saturday my friend Randi and I threw our good friend Emily a shower. She is having a little girl in 4 weeks! I can believe how fast time flies! She was the first one other then Matt to know I was pregnant and I remember her only being about 12 weeks. Now she is due in a month! Congrats Emily I am so excited for you guys!!! While I was having the shower Matt took Emmy swimming. When they got home we had a nice relaxing evening at home. There is nothing better then hanging out with my little family on a Saturday night.

Sunday my dad and his girlfriend had us over for my 4th birthday dinner. I totally got spoiled this year. Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so great! My best friends in the world Tori and Lisa also took me to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory last week. Can you say YUMMY?? Thanks guys I love you!

Yesterday I took Emmy to see the ducks at Sugarhouse park with my grandma. She loved them and is not scared at all. She likes to hold the food and let the ducks eat right out of her hands instead of throwing the bread. I just love her!!!! After the park we went and got an ice cream cone. She was so excited that we got her own and that is was pink and purple.

We also FINALLY got Emmy a play kitchen last week. I was looking to get her one for her birthday in January but the one I wanted was out of stock. After numerous months of looking I found a lady on KSL who had a brand new one for a GREAT price!Emmy loves it and can not get enough of it. I love watching her play :) She is such a girly girl!

Tomorrow we are getting a new freezer. I am so excited! I don't know why I am blogging about this but lately I have had such a strong feeling of the need for food storage. I have always felt so overwhelmed even thinking about starting a food storage supply but the past couple of months things have come so easy for me. I am a FREAK about bargain shopping. When I see a good deal on something we eat I buy a few extra of the items and store them. I can not believe how much food storage we have already gotten. I am so glad we have finally decided to commit ourselves to this. Wish us luck!

I am sorry to all of you who actually read long, all over the place, pointless post :)

Zoo Day

Off to the zoo! The kids with the monkey! The monkey love them!

Emmy posing:)

Mommy and Emmy!

Emmy loves the boys! She is always holding their hands, hugging and kissing them

Loving the giraffes.

Getting ready for our train ride. YEAH!

Today was a long day at the zoo! We went with our playgroup. Emmy LOVES the zoo. It is her 2nd time in 3 weeks. She really likes all the animals. I cant believe how big my little girl is getting! Thanks to everyone who went with us today. We had a blast!

Announcement

I FINALLY GOT A NEW CAMERA!!!! TOMORROW WILL BE A GREAT DAY AT THE ZOO WITH LOTS OF PICTURES!

Life Lately

So I still have not gotten a new camera and it is driving me CRAZY! I have missed so many great things and I feel like Emmy is growing so fast. She has been potty trained for about 2 months now and has done really great the past 2 weeks. She says the funniest things and is picking up so much. Her new thing is " Mom this is dilishious" she means delicious and she is so funny when she says it. She LOVES playing with her friends and asks me everyday to see them. She thinks if she says " I share my toys" then I will let her play. We have been working on sharing and she is doing much better! Her hair is WILD! I cant believe I have a 2 year old with a blond Afro! She is getting so big and I really need to get a new camera so I can take pictures!!!

Matt has not been working as much lately and it is so nice to have him home at a decent hour! We have been trying to get out and do some fun things as a family the past few weeks and it has been so much fun! We went to the zoo a few weeks ago and Emmy LOVED it! Still to this day she talks about it! We also went swimming at the Lehi pool and I think Matt and Emmy were in heaven! On Saturday we went to Wheeler Farm and let Emmy ride the pony. They are so fun to be with! I NEED A CAMERA!

My birthday was a blast! Matt took the day off and we did some shopping. I was so excited because we went to Gap and they were having 25% off the clearance stuff. I got Emmy and the baby some cute clothes! Today we had a birthday dinner at my moms house. We ate dinner and opened presents. It was a blast!Thank you to all of you who made my birthday so special!

Pregnancy has been so hard this time around. I loved being pregnant with Emmy and this time I have been in so much pain. I finally gained weight! In fact I am scared to go to my Dr. appointment on Wednesday because I am pretty sure I have gained 6+ pounds this month instead of the recommended 4. Oh well life goes on! Sleeping has been a Bi&%h lately! I am sorry I don't know how else to explain it! I literally sleep 2 hours a night because I am so uncomfortable! I don't know how I am going to make it another 3 1/2 months!!! The other night I was laying in my bed tossing and turning. My stomach was bothering me and I truly convinced myself that I had the Swine Flu and was going to die from it. I AM CRAZY!!! First of all I know all there is to know about the stupid flu going around and I really don't have anything to be worried about. Second I was not even sick!!!! I AM LOSING MY MIND! I feel so bad for Matt because I don't even want to be touched and all of you who know my husband knows he LOVES cuddling at night. I guess I just need to be grateful and embrace pregnancy like I did last time!

Well there is our life lately in a wrap! Sorry no pictures hopefully we will order a camera soon!

Oh Baby!

2o weeks and counting!

Pregnancy has been ok so far. I get braxton hicks contractions ALL the time. They bumped my due date up a few days!!! I wish I felt as good as I did last time! I still have not gotten back to my pre-pregnancy weight from my morning sickness and I feel achy all the time. I don't know how I am going to carry this baby another 20 weeks! I am going to be the most annoying pregnant person at 30+ weeks! Matt can feel the baby moving when he touches my tummy and loves it.

We got the baby bedding and painted the walls. I love it! I will post pictures as soon as I get all the accessories up. Emmy loves her baby brothers room she sits there and says " baby Kyson's room" she loves showing people, folding his clothes and playing in there. She is getting so big!

Noting new is going on at the Crowley house. I got some flowers and planted them in my window boxes and in my flower beds! I love summer!!! Poor Emmy has been sick with a cold so we are visiting the Dr today to make sure she does not have a ear infection. Matt has been great and things are finally slowing down at work. Now he gets to study for the GMAT and finish the basement. He is a busy boy! Life is good today.
