catching up{long post}

So last week I was allll alone again thanks to hunting season.
So naturally... I craft.
lol I have been slacking big time with our little ones room. mainly because once we painted it I have been waiting on my lovely husband to pick up some trim to finish the walls. so we are still in the process. BUT I had bought a fabulous dresser a while back at a yard sale so I decided it was time to get to work on it.
let me tell ya... having to sand down the dresser for about 2 hours, then painting process started which took allllll day! I had to paint and re-paint it 4 times, all the cracks and curves, then take out all the drawers and paint those=what a pain.
all this while it was 107 outside in the shade in our garage was not a good idea.
good news though, its done!!!
BEFORE

Diesel was my buddy through out the whole process! lol

dont mind my aweful sweaty pic!

AFTER

i dont have an updated picture of it with the knobs in the middle part but here it is!! so happy!

On top of that i also sewed my babes curtains for his room!! I'm so happy his room is slowly coming together!! i will post more pics of the room later!!

September 18th was my sweet hubbys birthday! he turned 24!!! He of course was gone hunting.
So i bombarded him with pictures so he knew he was missed on his birthday from afar!!

This pictures cracks me up. i wanted to send him a family pic so this was my attempt! lol
Diesel just stared at me like "really mom?? we have to do this?? so lame!"

picture i took while at work!! lol
{yes we for sure have the name picked!!! Ryder!!!! We adore it!!}

Kristopher ended up coming home from hunting after 7 days of being gone and got in at about 6am in the morning just so he can make it to my doctors appointment i had on Thursday 19th at 11am. love him.
Before my doctors appointment I had him open up my gifts I got him.

There is a story behind the 2 pictures below. So Diesel has now chewed up 2 of Kris's nice leather fox wallets from tillys..not one wallet but 2!! So... naturally.. kris refused to buy another and so as a joke I gave him my hunting orange holder that contained my hunting license just to tie him over till he makes his way to buy a new one! He actually ended up loving it cuz it was so thin and easy and used it for about a month!!!
so I got him a couple spares.

then I had to get him a good one!

 dad showing diesel this wallet is a no-no!!

 But on top of that I planned a little birthday get together that night as well for him with mine and  his family.We kept it simple with pizza cake/cupcakes and ice cream and of course.... PING PONG TOURNAMENT!
{yes I have a ping pong table in my house}
 Here are some of my favorite pics from the other night!

this was from my sisters fam, the onsie said "super dad" 

 this one was from my brother-their wrap job--tin foil!

My parents know my husband so well.
They got him this pillow, a money clip(back to the diesel story lol) and jacks!

i cant believe i only got 2 pics of all the ping ponging that went on but here they are!!

UPDATE ON PREGNANCY
So this last appointment (28 weeks appointment) had a lot going on unlike my boring follow up appointments
1) I had to do the glucose test. the drink itself didn't taste as bad as everyone made it seem but wow was I hit with light-headedness. s.u.g.a.r rush! the room was spinning. lol Then to top it off, a holding hands, smile from my hubby, pinch from the needle and 4 viles later they drew my blood to get it sent off to labs!

2) We got to have our Growth Ultrasound! This is what Kris cut his hunt short for and..... this little guy did NOT want to cooperate!! He had his hands in front of his face the entire 45 minutes!! The tech tried having me lay on my left side...then my right... and nothing! He was also hiding under my belly button so it made it even tougher to get his measurments! BUT the doc said he is still measuring on for 12/13/13.

3) My appointments got moved to every 2 weeks now instead of 3!! getting closer

4) I had to have the cherry topping to this appointment and get pricked with another needle to get the Rhogam shot. ouch.

Needless to say we got to wrap up this awkward/painful appointment with lunch at Moreno's!
Our favorite restaurant!

here i was at 27 weeks!!

here i am at 28 weeks!!

THE find

So lately I have been looking online at department stores, looking on my groups on Facebook,

glancing at craigslist for a dresser for our little boys room.

All the dressers at the department stores are that cheap light thin wood that wont last a year it seems.

By the time I message the people on Facebook to see if they still have the dresser its sold or priced way too high.

So... I told Kristopher that I wanted to do some yard selling this last Saturday to look

for a dresser/furniture for the babes room.

we ended up going to about 12 yard sales and there was nothing but clothes and crap!

thennnn we stopped by one last yard sale on our way home and I saw it from the road.

THE DRESSER. 

So I asked them how much they are wanting for the dresser because they were selling a dresser and a amour as a set. She said $150 for just the dresser. ugh.

needless to say, after some tough negotiating, calls, almost walking away....

we got the SET for $100.
the dresser

 came with 2 mirrors(i'm not going to use them)

 the amour

now the make over begins on them...so excited!

PREGNANCY UPDATE
So as of today I'm 25 weeks and 4 days!! 14 more weeks=102 days to go! I had my doctors appointment last week. Heart beat was at 138 and I was measuring 25/26cm. I was also smacked with another mini anxiety attack. I was told my next appointment will be a big one for me. I will be about 28 weeks, and I will be doing the glucose test, having our growth ultrasound(yay!!), and also I will be pricked again with a needle because I'm one of the lucky ones that have B- blood type so I have to get the rhogam shot. yay for me. So it will be a bitter sweet appointment, we get to see out little boy again but I have to get familiar with the needle poking again! ugh! Besides the needle poking, the reason I had a little anxiety episode is because the date of the appointment falls right in the middle of Kris's hunts. So I texted him right after the appointment letting him know the updates and then I nervously told him about the ultrasound date. I was thinking I was going to get back a "that sucks" kind of text, but instead I got "I will be there!". He said even if he has to drive all the way home(4 hours) and then back that night he will do it so we can see our babe together again! love him so much.

This little boy is moving all the time. I'm always bugging Kris to feel my stomach so he can get excited like me to know he is in there! a couple nights ago he was using my insides as a punching bag and just going to town so I had Kris feel him and his reaction was "whoa....whoa... whoa... this is crazy!" lol needless to say he got to feel him move! This may sound a little weird but I love to see my belly move under my shirt. I can stare at my stomach all day and watch it jolt and move from our little boy. The past week has been a little sucky, I have had a awful sore throat and dry eyes. a lot of people are suffering from allergies right now so I don't know if it has to do with that but it sucks.

Super big news.... kris and i officially have a name picked out for our baby boy as of yesterday!
So excited and happy.
