Tornado

     Yesterday was a crazy day in my home state of Oklahoma. I am so grateful that all my family and friends are safe.
     It is so frustrating to be so far away from my family when horrible things are going on. The weather is not on any of my Ohio stations and I could not find anything online. It was just annoying.
     Normally I feel like we do not make a huge deal out of twisters but this year it seems like they have caused so much destruction.
     I love storms and crazy weather but when it begins to destroy lives it makes you have respect for mother nature.
    Today I am grateful for modern technology and the ability I had to check on all of my loved ones yesterday.

Musicals

     As Aaron heads to work on the night shift I often find myself watching all the shows I know he hates. The ones with drama, the ones that are 'reality', and the ones that sing!
     Today I have "Hello Dolly" playing. Now I do not necessarily love musicals but I for sure enjoy them. I think Disney did this to me. Growing up we would watch Disney movies every Sunday and consequently we would buy the soundtracks as well! Growing up I can remember jamming out to the "Beauty and The Beast" soundtrack while we cleaned the house. I may know every Disney song that is out there...jealous?
     I also believe that my sister Jennifer did this to me as well. This girl loves her some musicals. She used to watch 'Calamity Jane' religiously every night!
     Then I have this friend named Kara who loves musicals too! She introduced me to "Hello Dolly." She was in the play in high school and loves it! So now I love it too!
     This is a very random post I realize. But I am grateful that I grew up in a 'singing' house. One of my favorite parts of church is singing hymns. I love thinking about my mom and my sisters and I sitting together at church and singing.
     I'm glad I will soon have a little girl to sing with. :)

Saturday Morning

     Is there anything better than a Saturday morning of nothingness? Let me tell you about our Saturday morning.
     It started out pretty normal, me throwing up and Aaron asking me if I'm ok. It's pretty routine now and not even a big deal. I go lay on the couch and he goes back to bed. The dogs come and lay all over me and make sure I am ok. About an hour later at seven he gets up and announces he wants biscuits and gravy and is heading to the store! I feel really bad for waking him up so early in the morning when he is on night shift and it's a rare Saturday (or any day) he gets to sleep in. I do have a confession though, I love getting up early on Saturday when that is our only day to spend together. So I feel bad....but not really :)
      The biscuits and gravy were delicious but not quite as wonderful as spending a wonderful sun filled,warm, Ohio morning with my little family :)

More...Laundry :)

     I realize that I am again talking about laundry but....I'm still working on it today :) Don't Judge Me.
     But my post today isn't really about the laundry it's just a tiny reason I love my husband. He ALWAYS empties out his pockets before he throws his clothes into the hamper. This is one less thing I have to do during the laundry process. Also, I guess it is one less reason why it takes me so long to accomplish the simple act of washing and drying clothes.
     This picture may be my future child...pray for her.

Heat

      I know I talk about my dogs alot but until mid October they are my only babies :)
     This morning we went to the dog park for the first time in a long time! Cheyenne was so excited...well for about 15 minutes anyway. Both of the dogs were so hot and panting they were heading for the gate to leave way before I had planned!
     When we move back to Oklahoma these dogs are going to die if they think this weather is hot!

Laundry

     Sad but true. I will admit it- I am horrible at getting the laundry finished! I sort it, I wash it, I dry it, and then.....well it may sit in the laundry basket for quite sometime!
     I do not know why I am like this! It makes me crazy! All my clothes are wrinkled. I can never find what I want to wear. My poor husband has to wear mismatching socks.
     I need to realize that there will be a baby in this house soon and then there will be A LOT more laundry!

Momma

     I was reading a magazine article the other day and this lady said that she is not a 'Mom' she is a 'Momma' and I absolutely loved that! Maybe it's because that's what I call my momma :)
     So, my Momma is a pretty amazing woman. It is crazy to be pregnant and that my mom was pregnant with me... maybe it's my pregnancy brain but this is just amazing to me. When I think about how much my momma has sacrificed for me it shocks me. She is so selfless and giving of herself.  Not only is she a great momma but she is a great friend now!
     She listens to all of my crazy concerns. She laughs with me and cries with me.  This woman knew I was pregnant before I even told her. She just knew something was up.
     I am grateful for the woman that knows me better than I know myself.
     I love you Momma :)
     

Baby Girl!

     Wow! I can not believe I can finally call this baby, My Baby Girl! It is nice not to call her 'it'. :) Finding out what this Little Peach was was quite unconventional and pretty amazing.
     First of all you have to understand what it means to be a doctor's wife. People ooohhhh and aaahhhh over it but really it is not always as glamorous as it seems. Maybe to be married to a doctor and not a resident would be the ultimate goal. I still love this man and his silly ambitions. It is very often though that I repeat to him, "say it with me...dentist!" But even with the ups and downs it was quite awesome the way we found out. Aaron took me up to the hospital last night and scanned my belly and there she was, just hanging out movin' and a groovin'.
     How amazing is it that my husband was able to look and tell the gender of our baby?! It was just Aaron and I. No one else was there.
     That was quite an amazing moment.
     I already can not wait to meet this baby girl!

May!

     Wow! It has been almost a month since I have blogged anything! I am ashamed!

     So much has happened in our little world! First of all we took a trip to Viva Las Vegas and had a freakin' blast! Aaron had never been before and he really enjoyed it. We had perfect weather, wonderful company, and some fantastic food! We were lucky enough to be able to go and see two cirque shows while we were there Le Reve and Ka! They were breathtaking!

     We then stopped in Oklahoma where we got to see a lot of family for a very short amount of time! We saw some of our Arkansas family, our beautiful new niece, Alivia, and her parents. We got to spend time with Aaron's parents and mine and my sisters! Oh and a random little stop to see my Kara Bear! We had a great time but it was way way to short!

     This week I am 16 weeks along with this wonderful baby! The baby is the size of an avocado this week! Pregnancy has been...interesting! It is just all the unknown about pregnancy! Today I feel great but tomorrow you never know. Being pregnant is not what I thought it would be so far but not in a bad way. I thought it would be all, "I'm walking on sunshine..." but it is just different! I for sure have a lot more respect for my mom now. I can not believe I will be doing this at least a few more times! Even though it is hard and a little different every time I hear that beautiful strong heart beat it makes puking every morning completely worth it! I can not help but cry every time I hear it. Probably because I can not feel the baby and it just makes it so real!

     That is the update for the last month!
