I'm Baaaaaaack!

It's been a minute, but I just wanted to come in and share my exciting news! WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT! That's right! We are finally going to be homeowners! We have decided to build our home and went under contract yesterday! We secured our lot and chose our floorplan! Next week, we go to the design center to pick out colors and upgrades. After we do this, then the fun of watching our home being built begins!

Can you say SUPER FREAKIN' EXCITED?!?

Stay tuned for updates along the way as we CONTINUE and hopefully COMPLETE our journey to homeownership. I will also post plenty of pictures!

Kamryn is here!

Just wanted to post quickly to inform you that Kamryn is here! She was born on 5-28-10 at 8:04 am, weighing in at 8 lbs. 12oz. and 20 inches. Baby is doing well, and I am trying to recover from a very difficult delivery. I will be sure to post more pics and a birth story later on...

Who missed me?!?

Just wanted to drop in and give yall an update on my life thus far!

Guess what! My HUSBAND GOT A JOB YALL! I am sooo thrilled! Since he got laid off back in October, he has been looking for employment and everything finally came together the beginning of this month. He is now employed as a car technician at one of the Toyota dealerships here in Columbia. I am ecstatic! He is really enjoying it so far, he has great benefits and great pay.

Since hubby is employed again, we can start our home buying process again! We will probably wait until the end of the year though to begin...again. Wish us luck for when that time comes!

Now...PREGNANCY...Yes...I'm STILL pregnant! Today I am 37 weeks. That's right...I'm full term now. That means that if I go into labor, my doctor will NOT stop it and Kamryn will be here. Just a reminder to everyone, my due date is June 10th. So right now, it's just a waiting game! Work is getting to be the most UNCOMFORTABLE ever. My last day here will be next Friday.

I. CAN'T. WAIT.

Since I'm full term this week, I figure I better get a head start on some things around the house. Most importantly packing my bag, putting together Kamryn's swing, and just beginning to do a deep clean (not to mention TONS of laundry). We just did a "deep clean" last week before going on vacation, so I really don't have too much to do.

I have tons of pictures to share with you all from my baby shower, to the nursery corner, and some of the cutest finds on Etsy. I will get those up this weekend hopefully!

In other news! We had our family mini vacation last week and it was THE BEST! Kelvin, Kayden, and I went to Myrtle Beach, SC , where we had a blast. I didn't want us to go too far (even though the beach is like 2 1/2 hours away), because we all know my delicate situation. While on vacation we did the pool, beach, shopping, Dixie Stampede, and Ripley's aquarium. Can yall believe Kayden was scared of the fish?!? LOL! Anyway, those pictures are soon to come as well.

If you have gotten this far, you're a trooper! I'll be back this weekend (I promise) to add pics of everything I mentioned.

Until Next Time,

Kamryn's "Going Home" Outfit

Ok...I said I didn't want to turn in one of "those" bloggers. One of those bloggers that everything I talked about was related to baby and motherhood. I wanted my readers to be able to "relate" to my posts, and not be about the same thing over, and over, and over again. This is one of the main reasons why I haven't been doing a LOT of writing. I don't want to sound redundant, repetitive, and monotnous. BUT....I have to be honest. Right now, this pregnancy, raising my toddler, and being a wife is my life right now...All I ever think about is how I can be a better mother to both my children, and a better wife to my husband.

So with that said...we have ANOTHER baby post! Let's talk about "going home outfits". Have you heard of them? Well, in my family, all babies have a "going home outfit" a special outfit the newborn wears from the hospital to their home.

Yes... going HOME.

No...no one would probably see them in the outfit.

YES...it does matter to me.

I never knew how important these outfits were until I was pregnant Kayden. My mom made a BIG DEAL about it...and when I say big deal...I mean "big freakin' deal". When I showed her what I had planned bring Kayden home in (a little pink sweatsuit, which WAS cute...BTW), she said that would not cut it.

We immediately went to Belk and other major department stores to try to find her the "appropriate" layette to bring her home in. We ended up finding the cutest little pink gown at Strasburg Children. Here is a pic of it, and a couple of pics of Kayden in it when we brought her home that cold December day

Oh...the memories...::sigh::

With Kamryn, I decided to go the same route and get a daygown similar to the one that Kayden wore. The only difference is that Kamryn's will be white and will have short sleeves (since she is a summer baby). Here is what I decided to go with...

This is from Strasburg children as well, priced at $42.99.

I have already received it and it's hanging in the closet as I write. I can't wait to see my little Kami in it! Well...I can't wait to see Kami period...LOL!

Until Next Time,

Oh and P.S. sometimes the spacing on Blogger pisses me off...LOL

Weekly Pregnancy Check In!

Can yall tell school has started back for me? My posts have been slim to none! I still wanted to come in and do my weekly pregnancy check in for you all. I have a new camera now (thanks Mom) so I plan on doing a lot more bell shots in the near future.

So...about this pregnancy....

Sleep: Is not uncomfortable, even though I have to get all the way out of bed to turn sides! I am up every hour peeing though, which is very annoying...

Gender: Girl

Name: Kamryn Brielle

Feeling: UNCOMFORTABLE....always! At work, my butt hurts, at home...my back hurts!

Health: Everything is still great health wise. No major complications. I am having issues with swelling in the ankles (Yes...I have cankles), but nothing major...THANK GOD!

Movement: ALL. THE. TIME. Movement is constant, mainly at night though and/or when I eat something sweet.
