Nothing exciting

Wow so I am 36 weeks pregnant and as much as I love that we are able to have children I truly hate being pregnant. Maybe its the fact that we went from hey you can't have kids to bam soon to be 2 kids under 14 months. I truly am blessed with a wonderful little girl and a baby boy on the way but my body just can't take anymore. I am in constant pain at this point and while I know its better to keep the baby in as long as possible I am truly okay if I happened to go into labor next week. Only down side is my mom wouldn't be here to watch Rosie.
Now on to some positives about being pregnant. Who know we would actually have kids. That in itself is pretty amazing. I am very lucky to not have complications during pregnancy outside of the normal aches and pains. And can't forget about the movements even when my bladder is a punching bag. At the end it truly is all worth it. So 3.5 more weeks till my due date. I really can't wait to meet him and see how Rosie does. and just all of it.

As far as other news. Nothing really. Fall is starting to creep up which I am okay with. I think I have finally accepted the weather here I mean after all we are from MN so its not like it is really new or anything like that and I do enjoy it here. I am wanting to find a apple orchard and pumpkin patch to head to. I am wanting to make some apple crisp and other things.

Well I think I have rambled on enough and posting a post about absolutely nothing..lol so I think I will just go. Besides Rosie is now needing help.

Time to get back into this

I always have the best intentions to blog but well I get sidetracked..lol So I will try again. 

Lets see Rosie is now 1 years old. WOW, I can't believe it. She is just an amazing little girl. Everyday she does something to make us laugh. She is just always on the go as well. As soon as she figured out how to walk its been non stop ever since. And attitude my god does she ever. She has given Josh the evil eye as in your not going to stop me. It took us both back thats for sure. And she will scream at you if you get in her way. But we are working on that and slowly she is starting to understand that some things she just can't have. Sure is a lot of work thats for sure all the redirection. And we can't forget about the tantrums when she don't get her way. Very strong willed thats for sure. But she is great and just a real joy.  She also loves her food. If she isn't done she will let you know if you try to take away her plate or if she gets a taste of what you are eating and its all gone and she wants more its a huge issue. She had her 1 yr checkup and she weighed in at 21 lbs and 30 inches long. She is a very healthy little girl.  We also got her pictures done. Um can we say disaster. She did not want to sit still at all and just wanted to run around the studio. Yeah that was real fun so we didn't get very many shots because then she decided she was done and wasn't going to do anymore pictures. We couldn't get her to smile either. Stubborn I tell ya..lol

Lets see pregnancy wise I am nearing the end. Thank god. Only about a month and few days to go give or take. I can't believe next month I will have a 13.5 month old and a newborn. CRAZY. But I am getting anxious in meeting the little guy. 

As far as everything else its pretty much the same old same old. Yeah we are real exciting people I tell ya..lol Josh is waiting on his promotion. There was a mix up so dealing with that and I have stepped outside of my box and joined a playgroup from meetup.com Its very hard for me to do that but so far I have enjoyed myself at least Rosie gets the interaction with other kids. 

Well not a whole lot has really happened and not much really going on so I am gonna hop off here. 

All moved in!

We are all moved into our place. We live on post and while the house is small in some areas its also nice so it helps. I could use a bigger kitchen. I often look at the way places are set up and think what were they thinking when they built this place. But oh well as long as I am not buying a house I can live for the most part anywhere and not be all that picky..lol

Lets see we have been here 18 days so far and still trying to get used to it. It does rain a lot and while not all day long it still kinda sucks. We also haven't really ventured out much yet either. I feel very overwhelmed by everything and not sure why. But I am also excited to be here because of the stuff to do around here. Hopefully we will get to do some stuff soon. Outside of getting all unpacked and everything all settled. there really isn't much new. Josh is at his unit now so we shall see how that all goes. But I better run since I don't really have much to say anyways..lol

Mad Love XXX

Days 13-15

Finally going to be all caught up..lol

Day 13: A band or artist that has gotten me through some rough days.
Phil Joel from the Newsboys has always been my go to artist when I just need to cry and take a look at what is going on in my life. He has a song called Fragile. Josh's mom played that song for Josh and I one night in her truck while we were going through our first hard moment in our relationship. The song spoke a lot of volume to me and has helped me in a lot of ways. Actually his whole album has just really helped me and gotten me through some rough times.

Day 14: A Hero that has let me down.
I don't have heros that really a have let me down. I am lucky in that area. But then I never really looked up to people in that sense either.

Day 15: Someone or Something I can't live without
Way to easy to answer this one hands down it would be Josh. We have been together for 12 yrs in March and married for 8 years. When we hit probably one of the hardest most ugliest part of our marriage I left. At the time it was better that I did however I am so glad I came back. It was miserable and not so much because of the events going on but because even when we are mad each other we still really rely on each other and support each other even when its probably not warranted to be given at the moment. We both tested the other side of the fence and well just as people always say its not worth it.
