What I'm Loving Wednesday

Another Wednesday and still no baby! Yesterday I rested pretty much all day long. On Monday I ran LOTS of errands and wore myself out. I was sure I did enough walking and moving around to go into labor...but obviously I didn't :-) I'm linking up with Jamie today for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Here's what I'm loving today!

{One}

My Handsome Husband

He's so cute :-)

CLEAN Puppies!

I just love this picture! I was getting ready to take them to Petsmart to get groomed and they got SO excited! I'm sure their excitement was more for the car ride, but still...it was cute!

I just LOVE when they put bows in their hair! Although I can't say the same for the dogs!Gracie got cute yellow ones!

Dixie's were Halloween bows! So cute! As you can see they have already started to come loose in this picture! They don't last long so I had to get pictures quick!

Protective Puppies

This dog follows me EVERYWHERE! This is where you can find her while I'm showering! Yesterday I was thinking that I need a camera in the shower to show you how she sits right there, but luckily she stayed there even after I got out! So I was able to snap a picture! Dixie used to be more of a Daddy's girl...but not anymore! The Hubs even said..."What ever happened to MY dog?!" last night! haha Because even after spending ALL day with me she still will cuddle with me once he's home.

Local Farmers Market

The Hubster and I found our local farmer's market on Sunday. This was my favorite part...HOMEMADE kettlekorn! I was SO EXCITED y'all! It is delicious! Don't worry I also got some fresh veggies...

I just love fresh vegetables! I cooked with the potatoes and zucchini last night!

A Healthy Pregnancy

I know, you're wondering, "what biscuits and fruit have to do with a healthy pregnancy?" I am just SO grateful that the Lord has blessed me with a healthy pregnancy so far and I have been able to get up each morning with my Husband before he leaves for work (which today was at 4:20am) and make him breakfast. Yes, I know...not something most people would say they LOVE but I honestly do. I feel so lucky that I am healthy enough and have enough energy to get up each morning and help make his day a little better by making his breakfast and lunch :-) I also enjoy the few extra minutes I get to spend with him in the morning that I wouldn't have if I stayed in bed. Now once Emma Claire has arrived I'll check back in with you and let you know if I'm still doing all of this! I just hope I'll be able to!

And in case you were worried that he's super spoiled...here is the gourmet dinner he got the same day he got biscuits and fruit...HA! I was too tired to actually cook that night so out came the can opener and oven ready foods! Not every dinner can be perfect :-)

Zulily

Is this not THE cutest little cowgirl outfit?! I CANNOT wait to take Emma Claire to Texas to meet all of her family and especially to take her to Aunt Doreen's barn to ride a horse for the first time! I figured she should have an appropriate outfit when the time comes ;-) So I just HAD to get this! I just love it!!!

Emma Claire

I just can't believe that this time next week I will have a sweet little baby to put in this crib! It doesn't even seem real!!! I can't wait to see what she looks like!!!

Here she is at about 19 weeks, she's obviously MUCH bigger now and I just want to see her sweet face, count her fingers and toes, and hold her!

I just have to end by saying that I am so grateful for all of the wonderful women I've met through this blog! I've been blessed to find blogs of women who are pregnant and are as far along as I am (many have now had their sweet babies! EEK!) and it's been wonderful to read their weekly updates and chat back and forth about concerns, fears, and our excitement. I also have met so many wonderful mothers who have offered great advice. Along with the mom bloggers I have also met many younger, older, single and married women who always have such sweet and uplifting things to say. I never thought that when I started this blog I would so look forward to reading comments and conversing back and forth with people I've never "met" before! My daily bible verse the other day really made me think about how thankful I am for each of you...

"Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!!! I feel like this last week has flown by and this one is going just as fast!!! I think it's because I've been so busy getting the house in order! Don't forget to link up with Jamie at This Kind of Love and share what YOU'RE loving today!

Today I'm loving...

{One}

My Followers

I am almost to 100 followers!!! WOW! And I'm past 50,000 views!

I honestly LOVE getting each and every comment from you guys! It just makes my day, you really have no idea! Anyways, having said that...I have always wanted to do a giveaway but just haven't ever thought of anything worthy of a giveaway. So does anyone have any giveaway ideas?! I think they're so fun and I would LOVE to do one, I just can't think of what to do!

{Two}

Dixie and Gracie

Even when they DESTROY the living room ;-) To be fair I let them rip up the cardboard part of the paper towel! They were just too funny while they were playing with it.

{Three}

My new Bath and Body Works Candle

It smells SO GOOD! And right now it's buy 2 for $20! A great deal!

{Four}

A Wedding Story's Essie Giveaway!

 Elizabeth, over at A Wedding Story, is having a GREAT giveaway! You should go check it out!!! :-) Not to mention that I LOVE her blog and you should go visit her anyways!  

{Five}

Hottie Hubs

I mean come on...how cute is this?! There pretty much isn't anything cuter (to me at least) than a soon to be Daddy putting together a crib. Other than a Daddy holding the ACTUAL baby ;-)

Fall decorations

Just a little sneak peek at my fall wreath I made! ;-) I'll do a post about all of my fall decor soon!

{Seven}

Pregnancy Hormones and Prenatal Vitamins

Because they make my hair do THIS! I think this is the thickest my hair has ever been! Not that I had thin hair to begin with, but I just have more of it now! However, I have heard that once baby shows up it's likely to start falling out, EEK! So I'm trying to enjoy this while it lasts. Sadly it's in a ponytail most days and doesn't get all dolled up that often ;-) HA!

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Date Night

The Hubster and I decided to go out on a little date tonight! We didn't do anything spectacular, just went to our favorite Italian restaurant in town and walked around Target for a bit after. I'm really trying to enjoy when we have nights like this because before we know it we're going to have a tiny little person taking all of our attention :-)

He is just so handsome :-) How did I get so lucky?

Oh and another plus...it's FINALLY sweater weather!!! Can I get a hallelujah!?

Weekend Wrap-Up

You know your Husband is finally home when....you visit Lowe's a couple of times a day, the sound of the weed wacker can be heard early in the morning, you're picking up clothes, doing dishes, and straightening up way more than usual ;-) All kidding aside I'm SO GLAD that he's home! We have had a relaxing but productive weekend and are now settling in waiting for the remnants of tropical depression Lee to dump a TON of rain on us! Here's a little overview of our weekend.

Saturday was my BIRTHDAY! :-) The big 2-3! Paige sent me this ADORABLE present in the mail!

"God is Good. God is Great, Thank You Lord for the LONE STAR STATE!" Isn't that SO TRUE?!

Saturday night we relaxed at home with a pizza from our new favorite pizza place. It was nice to just spend a night at home with him.

SO GOOD! Pretty much every pizza place up here is New York style pizza, which I LOVE! Thin pizza is my favorite, and the Hubster loved it too!

On Sunday we went to Babies R Us to pick up Emma Claire's CRIB! The Hubster was so excited because we could park here...

He's so cute, he thinks they should have these parking spots everywhere :-) Whenever we're at a store he always says, "The need expectant Mommy parking!" I just love him.

At Babies R Us I just about lost him to the toy section. Christmas this year will be so fun! He's going to have a blast picking out toys for Emma Claire :-)

We got to pick out our first baby accessory together! We got her mobile play station, it's SO CUTE! It was fun to finally buy something for her with the Hubster.

The Hubster also got to pick some Fall/Thanksgiving baby bibs for Emma Claire!

He has also been busy this weekend with yard work. It's nice to have him here to trim trees and cut the grass. Plus he's a really cute yard guy ;-)

While he worked the girls and I sat inside and observed, ready to help if needed. And...yes, the dog is ON the windowsill...and she sat here for about an hour and was perfectly content.

And just for fun...here's a onsie that I got for Emma Claire :-) I think all of her uncles will appreciate it! Perfect for football season!

I hope everyone is having a relaxing Labor Day weekend!

Tuesday Thrifting

Today the Hubster was such a trooper and went to several thrifty stores with me, sadly I didn't find one thing. Let me tell you...this is VERY rare! I was going with the intent of finding something that I could fix up, because I'm in need of something crafty to do. Does this ever happen to you? When you're looking for something, you never find it...yet when you're not in need of a project, one always seems to find you!

 It looks like I'm off to shop the house and see what I already have that I can fix up :-) Sometimes this can be just as fun!

I have the best husband :-)

This is a picture of us from our friends engagement party that we went to this weekend! I know...this has nothing to do with thrifting, but I just had to take a moment and post a picture of me with my cute hubby!

I hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday! :-)
