Waiting

I am in my 38th week and am getting so anxious! The midwives said there was a strong possibility of me going into labor before now due to how much I have progressed but NOTHING! Of course, there is never any guarantee....everyone is different. It's just been kind of frustrating being in waiting mode. I think the baby is too comfy being inside my belly! He/she needs to come out though......we are ready!

Hope it happens soon :)

Gotta love him

Howdy Folks....

We went to the great State Fair of Texas on opening weekend! Dwayne had never been before so we wanted to take him and, of course, try all of the new fried goodness they have this year! It wasn't as crowded as we expected it to be so that was nice. First thing we got was a famous Fletcher's Corn Dog! Then we made our way around the fairgrounds to taste all of the new goodies.


Here is my rundown on the new fried foods:

Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Waffle Balls - I was really excited about this because I LOVE strawberries but unfortunately it was the biggest waste of money and stomach space! BUT for some reason we didn't get the real deal. There were no balls and no stick in our version. We got a rectangular waffle layered with whipped cream, strawberries and powdered sugar. Maybe the 'real' version is better (hopefully).

Deep Fried S'mores - This was pretty good. It comes in 2 triangles. I think the real s'mores are way better!

Fried Chocolate Truffles - This was creamy chocolate deliciousness but, in my opinion, a little costly for just one.

Fernie's All-American Fried Grilled Cheese Sandwich - This was well worth the money. It is cut into 4 triangles and comes with 2 pickle spears, some shoestring potato chips and tomato soup dipping sauce. Yummy!

Chicken Fried Bacon - Saved the best for last! This totally lived up to its Big Tex Choice Award. You get plenty and it was yummy!

We didn't try the Fried Banana Split and Fire & Ice...........that'll have to be first on the list next time.

Major Disappointment - There were no biscuit samples. They replaced them with ice cream cones (as if there aren't enough desserts to try already). UGH!

We stopped by the car shows, saw the butter sculpture and checked out the new wine tasting 'exhibit'.

On our way out, I grabbed a buttery corn-on-the-cob! It was de.lic.ious! And Josh got another Fletcher's Corn Dog!

Overall, it was a great fair experience! I have to go eat now. Got hungry thinking about all of this food :)

Baby Shower

We had our first baby shower today! It was so much fun! My girls are the best :) We got lots of goodies.

I can't wait to move so that we can set up the nursery! Time is going by fast but we still have a little ways to go. We're getting more and more excited about seeing our little one!

I'm so thankful to have such wonderful friends :)

I have a wonderful husband (twice)

This is me at 29 weeks. Josh came home with some beautiful flowers! I have such a sweet husband :)

Happy Birthday, Tony!

August 24th, our sweet baby boy Tony turned 1!!

We had a party for him with hats, balloons, other doggy friends, and dog cookies (as the cake).

He was so party pooped that he slept for the following 2 days!

I have a wonderful husband

There are really no words to express how thankful I am to have such a loving and dedicated husband.  On top of working really hard all year long to bring in our only source of income, Josh has been pretty much waiting on me hand and foot throughout this pregnancy.  He's rubbed my feet, massaged my back, fed me, gotten me water, kept up with house, been my little cheerleader while I'm doing pregnancy yoga in our living room, helped me with my exercises... I could go on and on. All without complaining.....well maybe a few times....but who the heck wouldn't.  Amazing man I tell ya!  I truly am so freakin' lucky! I wanted to do something to try and show my appreciation. 

So I planned a day just for him.  It started with him getting a massage.  (side note: perfect timing because this was the week we started our birthing class and our homework every night was to give massages to our partners.)

Then I took him to a barbershop for a haircut and shave.

  

The place we went to, Floyd's 99 Barbershop, was really cool......and actually pretty inexpensive.  

They have regular stylists there but at the West Village location they have barbers that can do the old fashioned neck shaves which I was really excited about. 

The day ended with dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, Josh's favorite restaurant.  I had their Strawberry Shortcake (not much of a cheesecake person) and it was de.lic.ious!

RoughRiders

A couple of weeks ago we went to a Frisco RoughRiders baseball game! It's always a great time.

Our friend, Eric, works in the media department and always gets us really great seats that come with free food and drinks (no drinks this time for obvious reasons!).

Their games are way more entertaining than a Rangers game.

This time we were in the section where most of the action that goes on between innings and during warmups takes place.  We got to see all the dancing and the mascots (Cousins, Deuce and Daisy) doing their thing. They were so funny!

Can't wait until we go again!

8.12.08 = 2 years

We celebrated our second anniversary in East Texas. Josh's aunt and uncle have a cabin as well as a lake house on Callender Lake in Murchison, Tx. It is always so peaceful and relaxing there. We went shopping, ate some great food, and enjoyed spending time together. I can't believe how fast these two years have flown by. I love having the best husband in the world!

Mother nature is so beeeautiful #2

What an amazing creation, this world of ours!
