Thursday Thursday {clever title I know}

The sun has *finally* decided it wanted to come and visit us!!  We have had nothing but rain for over a week now.  I'm so glad to finally see some sunshine =) 

We started out our morning by going to me and Emma's favorite breakfast place!  We love their onion bagels with green olive cream cheese!  I never thought it would be Emma's favorite, but it sure is by far.

 

 

Our next stop was Target.  We redid our shower in our bathroom finally.  It was a really really ugly yellow color.  Sunday my dad came down and helped Brian with it, and they completely changed it out.  Now we have a nice sparkling white shower =)  So I wanted to get a bunch of new bathroom stuff, and Emma scored by getting a new thing of chalk and a new dress.  We came home Emma played with chalk and of course got covered in chalk! =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's all for now.  Brian just had to leave for work =(  And I have a mandatory meeting tonight at work, so much for an entire day off with my little family. Oh well, there is always tomorrow =)

Lost Tooth!

It finally happened!  Emma lost her very first tooth!  She was the only one in her entire class that hadn't lost one yet.  We had a first grade celebration at her school last week and she pointed out to us that they have a tooth chart on the wall and how she was the only one without a tooth on it.  So needless to say she was soooo excited to go to school after losing it so she could add a tooth to her name! 

 

 

 

 

She was super excited for the Tooth Fairy to come that night!  The first thing she checked when she got up was her tooth fairy box to see what was left =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Tooth Fairy box she is using is the box that I had when I was little.  She thought it was pretty cool that she gets to use mine =) 

 

So I haven't been away from blogging because I wanted to be.  First off, I have been having really irritating computer problems with Lightroom freezing my computer.  I finally figured out how to fix it though!  And second of all, my camera is irritating me because every one of my photos looks grainy no matter what lens I use, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to fix it!  Any tips, tricks or ideas??

 

And finally, Emma has her last day of 1st grade on Tuesday!  They go to school just until 11 on Tuesday and then they are done for the summer.  I honestly cannot believe that she is going to be a 2nd grader already!  Definitely a little sad about this, she is growing way too fast.  But we have a fun summer planned, including our trip to Boston to see Taylor Swift!  She's only been counting down since she got the tickets for Christmas!! =)

4 Months!

Well, I am officially at 4 weeks along!  I have been feeling great, other than being tired.  The nausea has pretty much completely gone away!  Thankfully!  I have this app on my phone that tells me that the baby is about the size of an Avocado at this point.  We were at the grocery store the other day and Emma wanted to hold an avocado so she could see how big the baby is.  She's too funny!

We had a doctors appointment on Thursday.  Like I said, I have been feeling great lately.  Well, my doctor didn't like my blood pressure at all.  It was 124/80.  My last pregnancy with Emma it got much higher than that.  So he was a little afraid that I may be headed back that way again...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'm not.  So i'm on a blood pressure medication now twice a day.  Anddd...he also said that my vitamin D levels were kind of low so he wanted me to take at least 1000 IU's of Vitamin D a day and go have some blood work done at the hospital.  I had the blood work done right after leaving the dr's office, and about 5pm on Thursday evening my doctors nurse called and said my Vitamin D levels were at 10 and they should be at 100.  So needless to say i'm now taking 4000 IU's of Vitamin D now.  And to think, I have been feeling so good! 

The weather here the last few days has been nothing but beautiful!  Today is Hot, Hot, Hot.  By 10am it was already 85 degrees.  Emma has gone to my parents for the weekend.  My mom sent me this cute picture of her on her way to my little cousins birthday party.

 

 

I really wish I wasn't working this weekend, because it would have been a perfect time spent at my parents pool!  Hope you all enjoy your weekend! =)

What a week

So much has been going on in the news lately.  And all of it is just sad.  There is no other way to put it.  We were very saddened to hear of what happened in Oklahoma.  I can't even begin to imagine.  One moment they had everything, and then the next minute...they lost everything.  Including loved ones. 

I'm also sad because for the last week, a 15 year old girl went missing from the next town over.  She went to school in the town we live in, and today after an entire week long search they found her deceased less than 1 mile from our house.  I'm sad and sick all at the same time.  My work has been crazy busy because of this.  I've never in the 10 years I have worked at my job seen our officers and detectives work day and night without sleep for a week.  I'm thankful for them that they were able to give closure to the family members of this girl.  And i'm also thankful that today they made an arrest in her murder.  Stuff like this just doesn't happen here.  It's a small town, and i'm holding Emma a lot closer tonight.  In memory of this girl, they want everyone in our town to keep their porch lights on all night.  Our light will be on.

In other news...guess who has a cold again?  Yup, Emma.  I actually can't be certain it's a cold...it may be allergies but I'm not 100% sure.  Whatever it is, hopefully it goes away soon. 

Has anyone been watching The Voice?  Oh my word!  It is my favorite season yet!  I am loving Danielle Bradbury...so I am predicting now for her to win =) 

Tonight we had a big dinner planned since Brian and I were both off, and guess what?  He got called into work.  Arrghh.  Our jobs can be so frustrating sometimes, but at least we have them =)

Sorry for the picture less post.  I haven't really taken any pictures at all since it's been yucky rainy outside for the last couple of days.  Hopefully the rain will go away and we'll see sunshiny skies again soon =)
