I love pie!
Other than making pie and being wife/homemaker of the year, I've been busy just tying up loose ends at work. I only have 13 days of work left, not that I'm counting!! I can't even imagine what my life is going to be like in just 3 short weeks-everything will change, and I can't wait! I had a meeting with my boss today and just confirmed my plans-I'll be taking my full 12 weeks off (and then some), and returning to work after the New Year, but then just working from home 2 days a week. I feel so blessed that I am able to do this. Its been amazing just to see how God has worked in the past few years. I love how God works-His timing is usually so different from ours, and always is so much better.

Yup, I'm still here!
As far as our other projects...the bathroom is SO close to being done. I honestly never thought it would take this long-we were totally unrealistic about how long it would take. Oh well. As long as its done in the next 2 weeks I'll be happy. Its really just finishing touches at this point. I hope to be posting pics of the finished room SOON!
Here are a few pics from my church shower! My life group girls Laura, Mandy, Nancy and Carol headed it up and my sisters Sarah and Rachel helped a lot also. Thank you girls SO much for all your hard work!! It turned out so nicely and I just felt so loved!!
Me and my good friend Anne who drove 2 hrs to come to my shower!!

Baby Farts, Nursery and Shout Outs!
YAY! I love how it turned out. We're so grateful to Russ in our small group for painting for us! The bathroom project is still in progress. I keep forgetting to take pics! I'm hoping it'll be done in 2 weeks tops! But everything seems to be taking longer than we thought, guess that's how it goes. Well, here are a few pics of the room-we still have a long way to go but at least we have a good start.
This is a really cute dollhouse bookcase we found! I love this!

Anniversary weekend!
We ended the night by a really good dinner at a restaurant downtown called 41 West-YUM!! I had the best salmon and mashed potatoes!!
As far as our various home projects...we are making progress! I still don't have any new bathroom pics, I'll try to get those up soon. The nursery is finally coming along! The primer and first coat of paint went up last weekend and I'm hoping it will be finished this coming weekend! We picked up our crib on Saturday but haven't assembled it yet. I can't wait!
BUT-the thing I'm the most excited about right now would be my newly reupholstered chairs!! Yeah! It only took us about 7 months to get them done, but they are done, and they look GREAT!! Here they are.....
Not sure if you remember them before, if not, you can see them HERE What an improvement! One more thing to cross off the list!

Hello Third Trimester!
A few things that HAVE been annoying are
*the person who asked "are there twins in there??"
*the multiple times I get told "you're due when?? you're not gonna make it". what does that
even mean?
*every time I say I'm due October 4th, the response is "wow, you have to make it all the way
through the summer? you're gonna be miserable!". Thanks. That's helpful.
*everything I say being laughed off because I'm obviously unreasonable because of "the
hormones"
Here are some belly pics I took tonight (Nancy, I am smiling in these pics! And I do NOT have a head tilt!) :)

Long Weekend
(ok, here is where my post was supposed to begin!!)
The 4th marked the beginning of our master bathroom remodel-a/k/a "what have we gotten ourselves into?" Not that I am contributing to this project-Rusty and his Dad are doing all the work, I'm trying to just stay out of their way! Its only been 2 days and already I am ready for it to be done! Even though its just one small portion of our house that will be remodeled, my entire house is a disaster! Not sure why that would be! I'm also getting some living room chairs reupholstered so my living room looks super empty! Rusty was hoping to get it done over 3 weekends but I'm not really sure if that will happen! We just ordered our new vanity last night, thinking it would take 1 to 2 weeks top to come in-wrong! It won't be in until July 28th! YIKES. I'm sure I'll be really happy once I see the finished product but right now I just want it to be done-and so does Rusty! Here are a few pics of the pre-remodel bathroom and view from our bedroom:

I'm updating my blog!
So I looked at my pregnancy ticker this morning and saw I only have 97 days to go!! Crazy!! Next weekend Rusty is starting our master bath remodel and when that is done, I'm hoping to start on the nursery! I can't wait! I'm so ready for everything to come together. We did sign up for a 4 week childbirth prep class. Its once a week, 2 hr sessions, for 4 weeks.

6 Months !?!?!
Profile :)
Flippin her booty in the air! (look at those long legs!)
I think she was in the middle of throwing her head back :)
Lately we've been having the most rain and the worst storms I can ever remember. We haven't had too many flooding problems around Indy, but a lot of IN, especially southern IN, has had major flooding. It seems the rain will never end! Its storming right now actually. The very worst storm we had was last Tuesday night. The storming started at around midnight and didn't end until about 6am Wednesday morning. That was also the week our AC went out so we had all the windows open so we woke up to the loudest claps of thunder I have ever heard! To top it all off, Rusty was out of town for work and I must admit, I was a little scared!! I tried to capture a good picture of the storm coming in, but this was the best I could get:
I feel like so far I've had a pretty "boring" pregnancy...not that I'm complaining, I know I'm very blessed! I never really had "morning sickness" other than a nauseous feeling when I would go too long without eating. I haven't experienced many of the pregnancy type things I read about, and really haven't had too many cravings! When I do have a craving, I actually get kinda excited because it makes me feel like a typical pregnant woman! Some of the cravings I have had:
*oatmeal cream pie (little debbie), buffalo flavored chicken tenders or pattie, chocolate milk, dr. pepper, watermelon, baked cheetos
Those are the ones I can think of for now, I'm sure there have been more though! I also have been having pretty vivid dreams. I have always been a big dreamer and I can usually remember my dreams. But the dreams have gotten a little more vivid and much weirder since being pregnant! A funny one I had recently was that I was in labor and delivered the baby, and it was a boy, not a girl ( I was so mad at my dr )! As soon as I had him, they took him away and a bunch of dr's came in to take care of me ( i guess there were some complications ). They all went into the hallway to discuss my case and then the next thing I know, all the dr's ( I think there were 4 or 5 of them ) just started running straight at me! They just kept doing that over and over! I remember thinking in my dream that they were trying to push the baby back in side of me for some reason!! It was very strange!! Its funny too...all the dreams I've ever had where I'm actually having the baby have ended up that the baby is a boy. Lets hope that isn't a sign of what will happen!! But my mom said she always dreamed that she was having a boy and she had 3 girls :)
Well this has been a long post and Iron Chef is on, so I'm going to sign off for tonight! We have so many things coming up so I will try to post soon to keep everyone updated with our life!

ITS A.....
This one cracks me up-the tech caught her mid-flip!
Here she is waving at us!
I'll try to post some more belly pics soon, I've kinda been slacking in that department!
In other news, Sarah moved back in with us! We've enjoyed having her home. Her and I have gotten to spend lots of time together in the past few weeks. I'm excited to have her here to help with baby stuff and I'm sure she'll be lots of help once the baby comes!
Ok, Sarah and Rusty are trying to get me to watch Transformers so I better go :) More pics soon!
