Busy Saturday!

PHEW!! What a busy Saturday!  On Friday we had my brother and his family over because my sister and her kids were visiting from Lubbock!  It was fun! To my surprise we had the joy of having my Niece stay the night with Addison!! The girls stayed up til1 am!! They had so much fun, Bobby and I were busy keeping there movies running and snacks going! Good Times!!

Her is my niece the next day for our Pancake breakfast!!

Our day continued with a Recital from my very talented cousin Hannah Rigg!!  She is a Graduate Student At SMU and is sooo talented!!  I love her so much and am very proud of her.  Unfortunately Bobby was called into his work on our way out to Dallas so we were late, really late.  We walked in as Hannah was taking her bow... Better late than never, right.





Bobby and I then took advantage of being in Dallas near North Park Mall and we visited the place we first met and worked for a few years together at. KONA GRILL!!  We split the avocado egg rolls and chicken tacos!!!! We Can't get enough if their food and only wish (although it is best) we lived closer.

Our family then got together at my Aunt/Uncle G&G's house.  SAUSAGE Balls! sooo goood.  It was great to catch up with everyone.  I particularly enjoyed talking with my Uncle Dan about his level of strength he has had in all the hard times he has had to endure.  I can not image the pain he has had to deal with and strength he has had to show.  My sweet Aunt/Uncle D&D have lost 2 of their kids to murder and a car accident only a few years apart of each other.  They were both lost before they were 21.  I can not image this loss and would find it hard to go on.  My Uncle explained that he has peace in his heart because he knows that his kids were SAVED and are in Heaven.  This is what comforts him.  Although I can see the pain in his eyes as he recalls the memories of the day his son was killed, I can also see his strength, his kind heart has the joy of HIS love and this makes everyday easier for him.  RIP Isaac and Becky Rigg. <3

And the night cap... My Bestest friend Heather (front left) since high school is turning 29!! So we went out for her birthday... It was so much fun and refreshing to get away for adult conversation.  I love her friends (my new friends, hehe) Janet and Erica too.

What a great long day surrounded by family and friends!!

Boy or Girl!?!?!

We have 5 weeks until we find out if we are having a Boy or a Girl.... For a while I kept telling myself I would like a little girl. My daughter who is 5 has always told me she wants a baby sister and I as well.  My daughter has been so sweet, precious and angelic.  On the other hand today I started to think that a boy would be nice... My son is 2.5 so a Lil boy would be close enough in age that they could share a room, BUNK BEDS!! 

As I am pondering the greatest surprise I am watching my kids play. My daughter is sitting quietly playing with some Lego men and my son is running in circles around the coffee table to Da Rude/Sandstorm hitting my legs every time he gets close to me.  Again, I look at my daughter and she is talking with her Lego men about school and ponies, my son is laughing and sniffing the air because has just farted by his sister who JUST noticed....

Boys and Girls are SO different.  Although this is not a decision for me to be making, I realized today that I love the quite, noisy and smelly of all my children and whatever God has planned for me and my family I will accept it with open arms. 

People are asking me, what do i want... I thought I knew what Sex I wanted my baby to be but I don't.  I just pray that the little guy or gal is happy, healthy and can handle this crazy family!

Weight Gain and a baby...

I am officially 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I have gained ZERO pounds so far!! This is HUGE for me.  My first pregnancy I gained a posh 70 pounds (then lost 80 after the baby was born!! :) )  The second child was a different story.  I only gained about 50 pounds, but didn't drop the weight as fast as the first.....annnnnnnd still carry some of it 2.5 years later, oops.  SO with the third baby my doctor told me that It is possible to not gain weight while pregnant.  She says at most I can put on 20 pounds but is okay to loose weight or maintain As long as baby is thriving of course.  So far So Good!! I am proud of myself that I haven't put on 30 pounds so far.

My Biggest fear like most, is gaining lots of weight... Any secrets to keep in shape and a low weight gain while pregnant?
