Life & picture updates

 We finally got our kitchen table done and purchased some chairs to match! Ryan also finished the tile! Yay! So happy about that. It looks so good!

This is once everything was torn up. A blank canvas :)

This was when it was almost done 

DONE! And so beautiful!

 

What it looked like before. It was soggy, sticky and had a weird smell. So glad we got it out. Emma makes it look pretty good though ;)

And here's our pretty table that Ryan sanded, refinished and polished up. It's so pretty 

This is what it looked like before 

This is after it was all sanded.

HUGE improvement. Seriously. Ryan amazes me.

Here are some other pictures of things going on with us :)

St Patricks day:

We made green waffles with mint chocolate ice cream on top once Emma was in bed (so mean I know). We don't eat like this very often, but when we do we go all out ;) We also celebrated pie day. Needless to say, we've had out share of deliciousness for a while!

Emma doesn't mind getting dirty very much anymore. It's so fun, I really do love it when she gets messy. The dirtier the bath water at the end of the day the better!

Sad picture of the day. 

Time outs have been helping Emma with her tantrums a lot. When she does something she knows is naughty I just put her in a corner and tell her she's in time out and she has to stay there for 2 minutes. And she does. She knows what's up. She hates it but that's a good thing :) her tantrums are letting up a little bit. 

My girl loves playing basketball after I'm done working out at the gym. I let her run around the gym, she heads straight to the basketballs and she just runs around with them until she can't run anymore. Sometimes she'll throw it and we'll race to it to see who can get there first. She almost always wins, of course, and she loves it.

We watched Frozen for the first time finally! Laying on the clean laundry. We loved it. We even sing the music together :) I wish I knew how to put videos up on here. I have proof that she sings :)

Here are some other random pictures of us recently. 

I wanna take a selfie!" ;)

Ready for church. 

Our silly cat Tia.

Hanging out with the fridge in the living room. When the tile was a work in progress.

That's all I've got for now. Kind of random, nothing big too life changing has happened. But hey, it's our life and we love it. :)

32 weeks

How far along? 32 weeks

Gender? Girl

Total weight gain? Around 14 lbs 

Maternity clothes? Yes! 

Stretch marks? Nope. Interesting fact: I've been using cocoa butter on my stomach to prevent stretch marks, BUT the ultrasound tech told me cocoa butter contains caffeine, so that could have been what increased the baby's heart rate. Who would have guessed? 

Sleep? Still sleeping good! Hopefully that never changes :)

Best part of the week: Emma loved nursery today, it's been great. She's so happy going into and out of nursery. 

Missing anything? My normal range of motion. :)

Movement: she moves a lot but nothing too crazy, i think she's pretty crammed in there.

Food cravings? Not much. 

Anything making you queasy or nauseous? Poopy diapers.

Symptoms: can't eat more than a couple bites per meal, so I have to eat every couple hours to stay full. 

Mood: good and bad depending on the second of the day ;) 

Looking foward to: Hmm.. Having a nice long Sunday nap! 

31 weeks

How far along? 31 weeks and 4 days

Gender? Girl :)

Total weight gain? 13 1/2 lbs... I somehow lost weight over the last couple weeks. My doctor has been telling me she wants me to gain a pound a week and then I showed up losing some... Oops! luckily she wasn't mad, she just told me to eat enough and not lose anymore! I eat a ton so I'm not too worried :)

Maternity clothes? Yes of course :) 

Stretch marks? Nope not yet! I feel like My belly has got a lot bigger the last little while so their bound to come. In fact someone at the gym today came up to me and said "Oh my gosh!!! It looks like you just swallowed a basketball!" Uhh.. Thanks? Haha

Sleep? Pretty great except for the horrible nightmares about killer brown beetles taking over the world. Barf. 

Best part of the week: I had an ultrasound on Wednesday. The baby's heart rate was in the 170's which isn't bad but a little high so my doctor wanted to check up on little baby. She was just fine! We could see clumps of hair on her head! And she is measuring 2 1/2 weeks ahead and already around 4 lbs! So I may be losing weight but baby is definitely thriving :)

Missing anything? Not stressing out about the smell in my house! I can smell everything and the smell of the last owners is still here and it kind of sicks me out. They had a dog and I think they smoked a little. Luckily the smoke smell is almost gone but the dog smell is still in the carpet, and it's yuck! Ryan can't smell anything at all but I'm going nuts. Blaaaaargh!

Movement: she's been kind of sleepy today but enough movement not to scare me :)

Food cravings? Peanut butter 

Anything making you queasy or nauseous? Not really just the smell of certain candles

Symptoms: tired, hungry, can smell everything within a 2000 ft radius, big stomach 

Mood: pretty good! :)

Looking foward to: Mavs game with some friends! 

I think this is so cute :) in a creepy ultrasound kind of way.

30 weeks

How far along? 30 weeks and 3 days woo!

Gender? Girl

Total weight gain? 15 lbs... Broke out of the 140's!

Maternity clothes? Yep! I'm in love with my gaucho pants. 

Stretch marks? Nope. Every morning while I'm doing Emma's hair she rubs cocoa butter on my belly. She saw me doing it one day and ever since then she loves to do it for me :) so sweet

Sleep? Pretty good the last few nights. I purchased a body pillow and I love it! It helps me a ton. 

Best part of the week: The weather! It's been so nice.

Missing anything? My Millward family and my friends. It's been a lonely couple weeks. Moving to a new ward has been a little hard, I still don't really know anyone and we don't see my Johnson family as much, it makes me sad. 

Movement: pretty active, especially in the evenings or when Emma is throwing a tantrum. She kicks like crazy everytime EmmaLee is having one of her screaming fits.

Food cravings? Peach frozen yogurt.

Anything making you queasy or nauseous? Not really.

Symptoms: ligament pain, tired, hungry, numb/tingly hip sockets when I lay down.. So weird.

Mood: meh. 

Looking foward to: getting the kitchen tile done and our house put back together. our washer, dryer and oven are all chilling in the garage while we lay tile and the laundry is really starting to build up and the house is a mess. Ryan says we should be able to finish by tomorrow, hopefully we can.

Snuggles

My girl loves to snuggle! 

Especially recently. And I've been taking every snuggle I can get!!

Messy hair, don't care! ;)
