My dad trying to look pregnant :)


My little cactus garden, kinda proud of it




My delicious dog Ace! He is a model. 



I was looking at my belly button and I just cant get over the way it looks. Its not only flat but it pops out! How is there any more room in this belly to stretch? I cannot imagine Noah gaining at least 4 more lbs, I'm freaking out! In a good way but a nervous way! I can't wait to meet you Baby G! I keep wondering what color hair you will have, what your eyes will look like, how cute your smile will be! I have ants in my pants, and everyone knows I hate waiting almost as much as I hate surprises! BUT you will be the one surprise worth waiting for! 61 more days...but who's counting??

SUPER FUN 26th BDAY! 

I had to work on my bday so I made the most of a working birthday! My kids were actually really good and I got to go home earlier than I had anticipated so that was good! I then got home to a very sweet surprise from my hubby! Check it out: 


He decorated the front of the house which I thought was so precious! I felt like a kid going to my own party :)


He also decorated the inside of the house and made me cupcakes and a heart shaped cake (which I took a bite...or two...right when I saw it). He was also cute enough to bring noise makers to dinner to embarrass Brittany and I and sing! 

Needless to say he made it a very special day for me. I didn't want or need any gifts for this bday because I want to save every penny I have for baby Noah! I loved spending the evening on our triple date :) 

26 is going to be the beginning of an amazing number of years to come! I am just so excited for all the new days and nights I am going to spend with my little perfect family. I just CANT wait !
