Wreck-It Ralph

     Tonight we are having a family movie night! We are all going to cuddle up in bed and watch Wreck-It Ralph! Me, Granny J , and Auntie Dacey all took Dacen to watch this movie when it came out in theaters! Dacen loved it and so did all of us! It is by far one of my favorite kids movies! I'm excited for me, Steve, and Dacen to all spend time together tonight since Steve will be gone all weekend at a shooting competition! He has not seen Wreck-It Ralph yet! If you have not seen it you should most definitely check it out! Even if you don't have kids and no matter what age you are I think it's one you are sure to love! I was routing for it to win best picture but it got beat out by Brave! Although Brave was great, I still like Wreck-It Ralph better! :)

New Pregnancy Craving!

     I have a new pregnancy craving lately!  It is cereal!  I used to only really like cereal by itself but here lately I find myself craving a big bowl of cereal with milk all the time!  For some reason I seem to have this craving more a night.  There have been a lot of nights where I just want a bowl of cereal of dinner.   The cereal that I have been liking the most so far is Special K's Fruit and Yogurt.  I am on my second box! LOL! There are even nights when I will eat dinner but then always seem to find myself in the kitchen pouring me a bowl of cereal for a late night snack!  Atleast this craving is a little healthy :) What is your favorite late night snack?

Spring Colors!


I am absolutely loving all of the spring colors I am seeing!  Especially, in kids clothing.  Check out these adorable onsies for the new baby and cute polo for Dacen that I got a Target!  I love this mint green color.  It will be perfect for him to wear on St. Patrick's Day! I just HAD to pick up the onsies since the set included a chevron one.  I think the colors and patterns are very gender neutral.  They will look darling on a little girl with a cute headband added or dashing on a little boy!  Hurry up Spring!

Master Bedroom Bedding

     Steve and I are wanting to get new bedding when we move into our new house!  Right now we have a white duvet cover and white sheets!  I love the white duvet cover but not a big fan of the white sheets!  They seem to not look so white and bright anymore.  Although, I have to give it to the sheets we have had them for many years so they have been able to keep up pretty well.  I usually will wash them in bleach every other wash to help!  So this time around I was thinking about going with a color.  I was thinking grey would be good since it goes with a lot of different colors.  Then if we ever want to redo our room again we can just change out the pillows and accents in the room.  I found I duvet cover that I just love from West Elm.  Here are a couple of pics of what I have in mind.  I found a shop on Etsy that makes pillows!  There are SO many to choose from!  If you are looking for pillows, then definitely go check it out.  The link is here! I was thinking about going with orange, turquoise, and grey OR yellow and grey!  Here are a couple of pics of what I am thinking about!  What do you think?







So many different patterns!

10 Weeks

     Today I am 10 weeks!  Getting closer to being done with my first trimester! Feeling a little better but still super tired!  Today I took Dacen to the park and after we got home we were both so worn out! that we fell asleep!  I couldn't believe how tired I was!  I am definitely ready to start getting my energy back!  I feel like I am always tired! Even if I am not sleeping I just want to be laying down! LOL!  This energy loss had definitely not been good for my house! I used to be able to clean all day and it not bother me at all! Now I find myself having to take breaks!  I'll clean a room and then have to lay down for a little bit.  
     As far as cravings go I haven't noticed myself craving a certain thing everyday, but today I craved mexican food really bad!  So Dacen and I went to Chuy's before the park!  I have not had any more cramps this week which is good.  My stomach will hurt every now and then but it's mainly after I eat.  I still have not thrown up although sometimes in the morning I have to lay in bed really still so that I don't!  The other morning Steve shook me to see if I was awake and I was like, "Oh please don't shake me I might throw up!"  I laid real still for about 10 minutes and then I was all better! 
     I have been trying to drink more water!  A nurse told me the more water you drink effects the water around the amniotic sac!  I thought this was interesting and it really made me think more about needing to drink more water.  So I have been trying to carry a water bottle around with me and drink more!  I know it's not good to have caffeine when you are pregnant but I still have a Dr.Pepper or Coke when the mood hits me.  I tried going a couple of days this week with no pop and got a horrible headache!  I am going to keep trying to limit my amount and I hope to one day crack my habit of having to have it!  I really try but somethings just taste so much better with a pop, like mexican food and pizza! 
     I am not wearing maternity clothes yet but I am sure I will be breaking into the ones I owned with Dacen soon!  The jeans I have on in this picture are Mek's from The Buckle.  Even though they are not maternity jeans I was able to wear these right up until I had Dacen so they are pretty comfy ones!  They are the Mek's low rise so they work perfect for pregnancy! However, I sure was happy to get into my sweats after we got home fromthe park today!
     As far as sleeping goes it is getting better!  This week I didn't wake up with any pains so that was good!  I have to wake up a lot to pee but I am able to fall right back to sleep!  I am excited to see how this week goes!  Hoping to have more energy!  I didn't get to the store today to get my oranges but we are going grocery shopping tomorrow so I hope to get some then and see if that helps!  Any other ideas to help my energy levels? :)

Lights

     Today Steve and I picked out lights for the new house! It took us about two hours! Again, like everything else there were SO many choices! We are really happy with what we picked out and the lady that helped us was so nice and great to work with! She is 8 weeks pregnant! So I had a lot of fun talking about pregnancy while we picked our lights out! She told me a little secret of hers I will have to try when I am not feeling so well! She said eating oranges always makes her feel better and gives her a burst of energy! I think I will be buying me some oranges tomorrow! I thought I would share some of our choices! I think everything will flow nicely! There were some amazing lights but we tried to be reasonable and stay within our budget! Here are some of our picks! This is not all the lights we picked out but a few that we took pics of.  We picked out some other fans, our master bathroom lights, pendants for above the bar, and some basic lighting as well. The quality of pics is not the best since they were taken on Steve's phone but hopefully they give you an idea! :)

Argo

     Tonight we are staying in! After Dacen goes to bed Steve and I are going to watch Argo! I have heard a lot of great things about this movie and saw where it won an Oscar for best picture! I'm looking forward to making a comfy spot on the couch with lots of blankets and pillows! So happy it's Friday! I'm ready to kick back and relax!
