23 WeeKs

Last stretch of the 5th month!! Darin is super super busy at work, he hasn't had a day off in a while, gets home after 7pm every night, eats dinner then ends up passing out on the couch around 9pm. He of course has Sundays but it's not enough time to catch up on anything before the week starts all over again, poor guy. Other than Darin being exhausted everyday, everything else is going great! I had a good week at the gym (love when I get a good week in), I bought a Keurig coffee maker and it's our new morning best friend! I even found Darin a special togo cup :) I bought a sewing machine too!! Nice condition and super cheap.....not sure what i'll make but after looking at Pintrest and Etsy all day it's inspiring me to make stuff, what kind of disasters they'll end up being? Who knows but i'm feeling crafty (jazz hands)! 

G had a few quiet days this week but she's come around to her normal schedule the last 2 days. I feel her in the morning for a bit then feel her at night when i'm sitting on the couch watching tv. She's active for about an hour then she's quiet. Every now and then i'll get a kick or a poke during the day but that's about it. I got her a crib last week, it's a lighter wood color so Darin's gotta sand it down for me and paint it white :) A friend of mine also gave me a bumbo seat, a high chair and a swing, so we now have a pile of stuff in the garage that seems to keep growing. I figure it's ok, the bigger the pile means hopefully the more we're prepared ;)


I've been keeping track in the same outfit for a few weeks to see the actual size change of the belly, I see some change but I think I was expecting a lot more so i'll keep doing it and see what comes in month 6! Sheesh, where did the time go? Seriously?

21 & 22 wEEkS

Well......as you all guessed, we didn't last long. It was really hard having the envelope sitting here staring at us. If Darin was still on the fence about finding out, I think we would of made it a lot longer and possibly to the end but he HAD to know. Every time he was in the kitchen, if I heard a chip bag opening i'd have to look and make sure he wasn't messing with the envelope lol. So, we agreed to find out together, we did make it 4 days hahaha!! I asked my best Teya to help us surprise our families so it's not just a boring facetime call. She made a box and put the right color balloon in it so when it was opened it would float out, she's very crafty so I knew it would look great. She had instructions to not tell anyone what she was doing so when we facetimed our families they were expecting us to say something but then there was a knock at the door and they got all confused, I thought it was funny watching them all look at each other saying "did you hear that", "did someone knock", "is someone here", "is anyone expecting someone", hahaha we got them good!! Teya made sure to get it all on video and she took before and after pics too! Nobody cared what the baby's sex was but we made them all guess anyway....the Doty's were first, Mr. Doty said boy, Mrs said girl and they opened the box and were so happy to be having a 3rd grand daughter!! Next was the Zubli's, my sister said boy, brother said boy, mom said she didn't care and my dad went with girl because everyone else said boy, when they opened the box, my dad said "that's right!" lol, it was so fun watching our families be surprised, everyone is of course happy and super excited...ok now go buy stuff!!

This week has been very busy with friends babies. Two of my longest best friends had their babies and my cousin had hers too! Baby Samara Oct 3rd, Little Everlee Oct 4th and Handsome McKay Oct 5th. Needless to say I was glued to my phone for 3 days waiting for updates and pictures. All babies and mommas are happy and healthy and the 3 little babies are all such cuties, wish I was home to snug with all of them, but soon enough i'll get my fill :)
