Hormones & Murderers...

Last night was a rough night for this preggo. I was getting ready for bed while Miss B was taking her nightly pee break. She was barking a LOT during this little pee break so I went to see what her beef was. Once outside I could hear this awful screeching following her barking and jumping around like a hooligan. So I ran back in to grab a flash light thinking she had ANOTHER bird. (Yes she swatted a bird from the air and then proceeded to stomp on it like it was her toy. SO NOT COOL!) When I got her away from it I quickly realized it wasn't a bird but rather a BABY BUNNY! There you have the murderer now lets talk about those hormones. I immediately burst into tears, not just water in my eye tears, but gigantic sobbing blubbering mess tears with a side of hyperventilating. I corralled B back in the house and about this time the Husband came out of the shower to see his wife gasping for air as she was yelling at Miss B telling her she had not raised a murderer. Oh to see the look on his face - priceless. Eventually I got it out that she had a bunny and probably murdered it and that he HAD to do something! So being the amazing husband he is, he went out and took care of dead baby bunny. Then he came back in to find me still crying. He even prayed for baby bunny and it's mom - how sweet is he?! Then he asked me - quite shyly - why I was crying so hard? Well... I don't really know. I'm going to take the preggo card on this one! Ever since I got pregnant an injured animal just makes me burst into tears. You all know the abused animal commercials with Sarah McGlaughlin signing in the background, yeah I have to run out of the room before the flood gates open. Just hearing her song on the radio triggers the water works! The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that seeing an injured animal makes me think of our baby and how they are both so innocent - but even that doesn't really make sense. I can watch a commercial about feeding the hungry children throughout the world without tears. I don't enjoy it by any means, but my face doesn't immediately take a shower! So yes, I'm pulling the preggo card on this one and I'm still mad and not talking to B. Poor thing doesn't even know what she did! I hope you are all having a better week than this crazy preggo lady, I'm ready for the weekend!

Odds and Ends + some BIG news!

I just don't know where the time goes!!  I feel like I JUST posted my last blog but then I checked and it was nearly a month ago!  So last time I promised pictures of The Hungry Caterpillar so let's begin with that.  I made cupcakes and cake pops.

 Big Sister didn't really appreciate having her picture taken!

  

 She finally warmed up to me with some help from Kelly...

 The 3 preggo's - Katie was due last Saturday but Benjamin is being stubborn (typical boy :), Sheena is due at the end of June and I'm due in November.

The shower was a lot of fun and my first shot at cake pops turned out great!

I came home at lunch last week to find this in Miss B's water bowl!!  She went to get a drink and slowly backed away - thinking she was out I went to fill her up and to my surprise this nasty thing was swimming around!  I promptly sent him down the garbage disposal so there is no more spider!

Remember the laundry room do over?  Well we FINALLY got around to adding some finishing touches!

Some bars to hang our clothes as we fold.

With some team work we got the hooks up for the broom and mop in the back...

He may or may not have gotten stuck during this project

  But it sure does look good!

This is my favorite new item that we purchased.  A giant glass jar for our detergent rather than the ugly box it normally comes it!

Thank you dad for building this and thank you husband for finishing it off!

Well it's July 4th and the Husband and I are tiling our basement bathroom tonight instead of watching fire works!  I guess we just weren't in the mood to sit outside and get eaten by mosquito's tonight!  I hope you are all having a GREAT 4th!

...

Oh you didn't forget about the BIG news?!  

It just so happens that as of a week and half ago I am officially half way through this pregnancy!

Do you know what happens half way through?  

Sometimes you get to find out if you are growing a baby boy or a baby girl...  Any guesses?

IT'S A BOY!!!!  

In November we will be welcoming a very LONG baby boy into this world!  At our visit they were able to measure his arms and legs and they were  in the 97% for this stage of pregnancy!  The Husband was 22 inches and a little over 8lbs and I was around 18-19 inches and 8.6 lbs.  So because the Husband is 6'6 now, they won't be changing the due date, but we are to expect a long at least 8 lb baby boy!  The Husband would really like to fast forward 18 years to see how tall this little guy is going to be, unfortunately that's not an option!

This morning we spent our time at Target and Babies'R'Us a register-a-thon! Then this afternoon I compared the two to make sure we didn't register for the same thing at each place so we are OFFICIALLY registered for Baby Boy Robinson!  It's hard work registering for a baby - there are ENDLESS possibilities!  The Husband's sister Randine went with us for a second opinion and she was a lot of help!  I for one am glad to have that over with, but it was fun!

Okay now go have a happy 4th!!
