18 weeks pregnant w/Baby #2!

18 weeks pregnant w/Addie

We have our big ultrasound at the end of the week.....can't wait to find out boy or girl!!

Our Satruday project

One day last spring I walked outside to find Hank ripping out the bushes in our front flower bed (they were ugly)!! Well unfortunately, we had no plan in place to replace them or to get the rest of the flower bed in shape....this is what I had to live with for a YEAR.....

notice (but please don't look too closely) the weeds, and dead monkey grass...

The side flower bed not too bad...just needs some plants!

So a year later + perfect weather + 1 master gardener (Hank's mom) + 1 father in law + 1 mom + 1 dad + 1 sister + 1 Addie + 3 Little Henrys (or sweet little Henrys as my father in law, Henry, likes to call them) + 2 Hydrangeas + 3 Japanese Yews + 1 Japanese maple + 11 Hostas + 2 Heucheras + 2 Cordalis + 10 bags of pecan mulch =

A beautiful flower bed!!

Let's just hope I don't kill these pretty plants!

The happy dance

Why is Addie doing the happy dance you ask??

Because we just told her she is going to be a big sister in October!!!! :)

We couldn't be more excited about this wonderful blessing!!

Addie Rose after she gets a baby massage (Before we put on Addie's pj's we'll put lotion on her arms and legs and say "baby massage, baby massage". When we are all done she keeps saying and signing "more"!!)

4. Four Recommendations
Love on your babies every chance you get!!!! They grow up way to fast. My little Addie is not so little anymore. I LOVE her new found independence that comes with pre-toddlerhood, but I miss my tiny baby!

Don't ever pay full price for anything. Bargain shopping is so fun and exciting!

Do not worry! It is not worth it! By excessively worrying about something, I am telling God that I don't need him, I don't trust him, and that I think I am in control of everything in my life. Far better is my time spent praying for peace, wisdom and guidance from our Heavenly Father than worrying about a situation that I have little control over. I used to worry about a lot of things and my life has become much more peaceful once I let that go. I have full faith that the Lord is looking after me and I pray for his blessing constantly. I'm certainly not perfect at this and have my times of self doubt and weakness, but feel a renewed confidence in my heart once I gave it all to God. For the bible says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Phil 4:6

Make new friends, but keep the old. There is nothing like an old friend. Nothing like someone who knows your story and your history. This is one of life's greatest gifts.

I tag Amanda, Jen H, Danielle, and Sarah B

Happy 1st Birthday Addie Rose!
