Missing Our Little Lady

I haven't seen this cute little face in three days and I'm really starting to miss it.

Miss Adelyne has been at her Grandparents' house since Monday enjoying some special time with Gran and Pappa and giving her parents a little down time. 

So, you may be wondering, what does one do with almost a week to themselves? Well, I'll tell you what this momma did.

I've done some blogging and some jogging (ha! just kidding), quilting and crocheting,

Baby Pearl's quilt is coming along!

I've watched old 80's movies and enjoyed not having a schedule,

I've spent some time in the word and I've taken pictures of myself in the mirror that freak my hubby out,

I've been able to make dinner and get dressed without a little one tugging at my leg,

I've gone to Target at 9 pm with Matt because we could and

I've looked at this picture sent from parents multiple times.

But, I haven't been cleaning up baby doll stuff, fixing little girl's hair, kissing booboos, making little lunches, playing airplane up and down the hall or giving goodnight kisses and I'm really starting to miss those things. It's just a little too quiet around here. Even this morning, Matt said he expected Addy to pop out of a corner and say "You go to work today Dada?"

Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the break, who knew you could accomplish so much in four days, and I'm thankful that Addy has wonderful grandparents (on both sides) that she loves to spend time with and who treat her like their own child. But, I'm looking forward to seeing that sweet little smile in person tomorrow.

Life in the 505 just isn't quite as fun without our little lady.

What Addy Wore {Spring Edition}

There's nothing cuter than a little girl in a cute spring dress right? 

Matt and I have both been enjoying dressing Addy this spring season and we just keep finding more and more cute things!

So, I thought I'd do another "What Addy Wore" post while I still have control over what she wears and since I've got to do something with all these pictures.

You can check out what she wore last fall here.

Shirt: Target

Shorts: Kohl's (Handpicked by Matt)

Shades: Children's Place

Skirt: Handmade by Addy's Momma

Shirt: Hobby Lobby, Flowers Added by Addy's Momma

Same outfit, different hairstyle.

Bows: Target Clearance

Hat and Shades: Purchased at the Children's Place on a Daddy/Daughter outing

Shirt: Target

Skirt: Handmade by Addy's Momma

Headband: Handmade in the 505

Dress: An Easter Gift from Gran

Shirt: Target

Skirt: Babies R Us (She's been wearing this skirt for a year, the girl has no butt)

Shades: Children's Place

Having a little girl sure is fun and at almost 8 months pregnant, I'm feeling a little envious of her tiny figure and all the cute things she's able to wear. Maybe someday, we'll be able to share clothes?

30 Weeks

We're less than 10 weeks away from D-day!

As of Sunday, I'm 30 weeks prego and beginning to feel like it's crunch time as far as baby projects go. 10 weeks isn't a long time when you have quilts and blankets to finish.

My symptoms this week have mostly been heartburn whenever I eat something spicy, or salty or sweet or tangy, or if I just look at food I start to get that uncomfortable feeling that's leaving me with a bad taste in my mouth all the time. Otherwise, I feel great and have been sleeping like a rock! But, even after a good night's sleep I usually wake up tired which is probably to be expected when you're carrying another human in your belly.

So here's the 30 week self portrait. My belly button has definitely "popped" and I'm starting to gain weight at rapid speeds (3 pounds in 4 days!!). I'd like to say it's all baby weight but my recent love for milkshakes might have something to do with it too. 

Filled With Joy

"The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy." Psalm 126:3

Matt kept asking me this morning and last night if I had a good Mother's Day. I had a great day and a great weekend being spoiled by my sweet little family. I kept reading these words written on our chalkboard and thinking how true it is.

How could I not have a good Mother's Day? 

I love being this little lady's Momma and I feel so privileged to get to do it all over again with Baby #2.

  

The Lord has done many many great things in my life and I am filled with joy.
