Clean House

I told myself I was going to take a break from Netflix for a while because once I start a show I am glued to the dang TV until the show is finished. I have gone about a month now without being glued to anything (which is dang good for me) because I have so much sorting and packing to do for the big move, which in in 33 days!!!! Anyhow, I finally decided I needed to watch something while I pack and sort because music was getting old. I wanted to find something that was not going to take ALL of my attention and I could just glance at now and again and still know what was going on. SO...... I found Clean House.
Let me tell you I am NOTHING like the people in this show, NOTHING! But as I am sorting through and packing up something I am finding that I am sort of a pack rat.... KIND OF. I hold on to things because of the memories they bring.... and as Niecy says, you can get rid of that item and still have the memory, so.... that is just what I have been doing and let me tell you it is not easy but I just don't have the room for it anymore, and what is the use of hanging on to something that is just going to sit in a box?
I can say that there are a few things I am having a hard time letting go of, my mother in laws christmas decor. As many of you know she passed away and she LOVED everything Christmas. The family went through her things and picked out and were given some of her things. A lot of the stuff we ended up with was her Christmas decor. There are a few of her Christmas things that we use each year but the rest just sits in a box. I hold on to these things because they remind me of her and her beautiful spirit, but I really need to just let these things go because the memory of her will ALWAYS be there.
All in all I am so glad I decided to watch this show and declutter my life a little bit. Thank you Niecy Nash!

Play that funky music white boy.

 Today I feel like I have been in a funk. I HATE FEELING THIS WAY!!!! It's so bad that the idea of shopping does not even sound fun.... and that is CRAZY for me! So what do I do when I feel this way..... NOTHING! I have sat at the computer all day and browsed the internet and browsed through pictures and baby videos of Jace. Jace came and sat on my lap and would tell me what a cute baby he was! I just love him! I cannot believe my little boy is 3 1/2 years old and about to be a big brother!
I also pulled of previous pics from when I was prego with Jace, just to compare because I thought I was a lot bigger this time around then when prego with Jace. BUT... comparing the pics there really is not a whole lot of a difference.

These first two pics are me at 16 weeks pregnant. 1st pic is Pregnancy #1 and 2nd pic is this pregnancy.

 These two pics are me at 26 weeks. Again 1st pic is Pregnancy #1 and 2nd is this pregnancy.
It makes me happy to know that it is all in my head about me being so huge already....LOL. Pregnancy is such an AMAZING thing! Lately I have felt the need to bug my little boo. At night before bed I will poke and prod at my belly and if baby does not want to play back I will play music from my phone and put it to my belly...(HE HATES IT). Baby boo immediatly moves from one side of my tummy to the other and starts kicking and turning! LOL. He HATES country and apparently he hates soothing music.....and he is not a huge fan of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Such a picky boy already! 


Scratch that..

Well as of this week we found out that we will no longer be going out to North Carolina. Our new location that we will be is Fort Worth Texas!
When Reed told me about this I was not sure what to think. I was so excited about going to North Carolina and having that new adventure. BUT Texas is going to be a great adventure too. I will admit I was a little bothered about the last minute change because I spent SO much time looking into the hosptials and Dr's out in North Carolina and was about ready to send my records over but I am so glad that I didn't. I can say that I am excited about going to Texas and being a little bit closer to home for when it comes time to have baby. Hoping that some family may be able to come out and see us. All in all this is going to be a GREAT summer and I am excited for a change for my family.
