Oh Baby! Week 24 or 40

  A couple Saturdays ago, Ben and I were lounging around watching Raiders of the Last Ark when our baby boy started kicking.  Ben got to feel him kick for the first time and it was a really special moment for the three of us.  Ben thinks it is pretty bad ass that it happened during Raiders of the Last Ark.  Since then, he has been kicking and moving non-stop and we love it. Lately I have been feeling great and really enjoying this part of my pregnancy.  Feeling my baby move inside...

DIY Easy Children’s Gift Idea

I am not sure if I have ever mentioned it before but I have 7 nieces and nephews, 6 of which are under the age of 6.  So when Christmas time comes around I have to be creative in order to stay within my overall Christmas budget.  This year staying within my budget is especially important since we have our own little one on the way.  With the exception of my niece Kaitlyn who is a bit older than the others, I decided to get everyone else the same thing this...

Oh Baby! Week 20 of 40

Skip ahead a couple of weeks and I'm actually at the half way point!  Oh and we had our ultrasound on the 18th of this month and guess what?  It's a boy!  We are very excited but just to be honest, I was shocked.  I had such strong feelings that it was a girl but he surprised us all.  Since we thought it was a girl, we don't even have a boy name picked out yet.  We have a few that we like, so hopefully we...
