A Poem by Mark Hunsperger

I was sifting through my Journal tonight when I came across a poem Mark wrote for me this past New Years. We have this wonderful tradition that Mark's family has done all there lives that we will keep every year as well. On New Years Eve they set there shoe out on the table and wait for little elves to come and fill it with goodies during the night. You wake up New Years Day to a shoe filled with many great surprises. This past New Years Day I woke up to some goodies that to be honest I can't remember but this Poem he wrote me will never be forgotten. I want to write it in here today so I have more then one copy of it.

WE HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW EACH OTHER OVER TIME,
I'M SORRY ABOUT THIS LAME RHYME.
OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER HAS REALLY GROWN,
YOU'RE THE BEST FRIEND I'VE EVER KNOWN.
YOUR KINDNESS MEANS THE WORLD TO ME,
YOUR LOVE IS MAKING ME THE BEST I CAN BE.
I WANT TO BE WITH YOU UNTIL WE ARE OLD,
NO MATTER WHERE WE LIVE EVEN IF IT'S COLD.
NOW LET'S ENJOY ANOTHER YEAR
AND CAST OUT ALL OUR FEAR
AND LIVE OUR LIVES WITH NO REGRETS
YOU, ME AND ALL OUR PETS.

29 WEEKS ALMOST!!

So I am not enjoying posting this picture because I hate it but for memory sake and because people keep asking here is a picture.

Seriously though do you ever look at a picture of yourself and say is that honestly what I look like. Then sometimes you say wow is that really how I look why can we look so good in one picture and then terrible in the next. The new hair do honestly looks better then this, just was having a bad morning.

MIDNIGHT SNACK!!

Last night for some weird reason my body was craving fat, fat and more fat. So what did I have in my fridge that would fill those cravings.

Perogies and Onions

Bacon

Chesse and Miracle whip butter mixture



Low and behold what does that make a very unhealthy fatty delicious midnight snack

TIRED TIRED TIRED!!!

So it is time for a little complaining. I have been so blessed with this little miracle and this pregnancy has been pretty darn amazing. No morning sickness, no acne, I have been able to exercise starting at 13 weeks and am still going strong, my skin and hair has felt amazing. I have not been craving crazy unhealthy food and have not had that crazy huge truck driver appetite that others talk about, so my weight gain has been reasonable and right where I want it to be. But man I do not sleep good at night, which totally sucks because if baby is not a good sleeper it is going to get even worse. I was totally preparing myself for no sleep around Dec 14th, but I never thought my pregnancy would be this way. In the past 28 weeks and 2 days I have maybe had 3 good nights of sleep. The first trimester was getting up every 3 hours to pee and being worried all the time about losing this baby. Then second trimester and third trimester has just been not being able to get comfortable and fall into a deep sleep. I am use to not being an amazing sleeper but night after night after night of not getting any kind of deep sleep is so warring on my body, mind and energy. I guess the body is just preparing for baby to come and no sleep. If anybody has any tips PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fill me in. The best sleeps I get are if I go for a long hard walk, have a bath and then head straight to bed, but it is hard to get that in every night with having a busy life. So I have about 11 weeks and 5 days to try and get some good night sleeps in. Wish me Luck!!!

IT'S COMING TOGETHER!!

Well I am not totally done yet but the nursery is definitely coming. I love love love the pictures I got from etsy and the floating book shelf from Hope Depot, thanks to Royall for the idea of stacking one above the other. I ordered my Owl bookends, and blocks with her name on it the other day and can't wait to get them in, plus a couple missing books from my disney book collection. All I need now our curtains, a quilt and an idea for my one big blank wall. Any suggestions give please.

KICKIN AND DANCIN!!!

Macie was being pretty quit all day and not kicking a whole lot, but on the way home from work the song "Tonight's gonna be a good night" came on by the Black Eyed Peas. I turned the sound up a little and started bobbin my head a bit to the beat when all of a sudden she started going crazy. Just a kickin and a dancin. I think she might be trying to tell me she wants to be a dancer when she grows up. I guess I know what to do in the future is she is being quit and worrying me that something is wrong.

BANANA BREAD BITES!!!

Today Mark and I did some shopping at wal-mart when we found these cute tin's for mini cakes. We have had very little success with our Banana Bread in the past it never quit cooks all the way threw, so we thought maybe going with smaller tins would help. This tin was perfect because it was little but you could do 12 mini cakes all at once, or for us 12 mini banana bread bites. So we made some up when we got home and they are delicious. I think they would be perfect for Visiting Teaching gifts in the future.

MELISSA AND DOUG

Last weekend I bought some fun puzzles for Macie to play with, I thought they were adorable and when I got home I looked through the website which was a big no no. If I had money to just throw around I probably could have spend over $1000.00 on the toys they make. So if anyone was thinking of getting a baby gift for Macie (not that I expect anything from anyone) but if you were I would love anything from this website, especially some of these ones I posted.
