Spring is in the air......kinda

Another Face Shot

Big Foot!

So Thomas is finally home and it's been wonderful. I went to Wasilla last week and spent 4 days with my Aunt Annette and had a great time. We went shopping and I finally broke down and got some maternity close.ugg....I did find some cute close but was greatly disturbed by some of them. They must think that Pregnant women should wear tents......anyways so I was at Annette's until Monday and Ash and I drove to Anchorage to pick up Thomas. She was so excited to see him that when he came around the corner and took off his sunglasses she ran right too him....it was so sweet. This week we have still been busy...Thomas remodeled my closest and has been playing catch up on honey dews since he's been here. He did find out that he will be staying here to work in Nikiski so he won't have to go back up to the slope....!! YAY at least until Dec/Jan....Ashlynne has hit the terriable twos and let me tell you she knows how to work it. Today she was so sick of shopping that Thomas had to actually take her to the car while I finished getting everything....it shocked him because everytime he came home she was daddies little girl and now she was throwing temper tantrums....the kinda of tantrums where you see someone and feel bad but walk away like you didn't notice.....uggg....anyways she has her little breakdowns but for the most part she is quiet the little helper....always wanting to help with projects or cooking....other then that the pregnancy is going good......I over did it on Sunday and Monday and had contractions for a couple of hours but that was kinda my fault I was tired and dehydrated....some water and rest later they went away....it's harder for me to slow down and rest even when Thomas is home.....but I'm trying. With Ashlynne I could sleep all day and not do anything now I am go go go with her and summer almost being here. We changed O.B. doctors this week and I have to tell you I love my new doc. He is very good at what he does. This was Thomas's first appt. and Dr. Barton did an ultrasound so we got great pictures and thomas got to see his boy. We go back on May 15th so I will post more pictures then. Hope all is well with everyone. Take Care Sam

5 months and growing.

Nite Nite Time!!!

5 months 3 days

So I finally got my stupied camera to work and took a pic of my GROWING belly. I swear a week ago I still had a small belly and one day I woke up and was like WOOOOW where did this come from? :) I haven't yet converted to maternity clothing yet but I figure when I go to Anchorage in a week or so I'll grab a couple of things. I did order some belly bands that I love to wear over my jeans. My jeans still fit until I eat and that's when those belly bands come into GREAT use. I have lot my sweet tooth craving and have started my spicy craving, I hope I'm one of those people that start to crave fruit and veggies cause right now I'm not eatting a whole lot of them. So far I have gained 13 lbs and I swear it's all in my belly , Noah is already taken up alot of room I'm thinking he's going to be a tall one. We have another appt on the 23rd which I am excited for since Thomas will be here and that will be the first time he's getting to go this time. Plus we have changed Drs. and I am looking forward to talking with the new Dr.

So Thomas is still gone but he comes home on April 20th after only being home 2 weeks since Jan 4th. It's been along 4 mths but now he'll be home for good!!! That'll be perfect timing too since I'm getting really drained and feel like I could sleep for a good 2 days straight.

Ashlynne is getting quiet the vocabulary on here. Her newest thing is "mommy I do," or when I try to hold her hand in the store or if we are walking somewhere she'll go " mommy MY hand" and clinch her hands together....but the best of all is when you say NO or tell her she can't do something she look at you with her nose scrunched and eyebrows together and say "what did you do"HAHA it's the funniest face she has ever made and I can't help but laugh but she thinks cause dad is away she doesn't have to listen and there are days I just let things go cause I know we are both tired and getting cabin fever and ready for winter to be gone so we can get outside but those days of attitude are getting fewer and fewer which I think has to do with the SUN finally starting to melt things. So for the past couple of days I'll load her up and we'll go for a drive just to get out in the sun....and out of the house. Well I will write more soon. Enjoy the pictures
