Boston visit :)

Matt's parents came to town this past weekend and we had the BEST time with them! They got to see (and stay of course) at the new house, which was perfect timing. The last time they were in Boston was for our weekend 2 1/2 years ago! We could not have asked for better weather...no snow and sunny skies! It was a little cool, but hey that is what fall on the east coast is like! No 90 degree Dallas temps here. :)

We went into the North End with my parents to this really awesome Italian restaurant. Then went on to a pastry place that had huge desserts! Here are some pictures of Mom with a huge lobster tail she ate all by herself. She wouldn't share, can you believe that! Kidding ;) I know she is cringing while reading this haha!

Here are some pictures of all of us at a teeny tiny table at the pastry place. It was PACKED. We got cannolis too. The amount of food we ate all weekend was ridic. Can you pick out the Italians in these pics??? haha And my Dad with that face. He thinks he is hilarious.

We also went to the beach for some lobster rolls one afternoon. And one night my mom made a huge meal that we all thought we were going to die at because we ate so much. My mom is a great cook...not sure where I came from. I get my cooking skills from my dad...aka no cooking skills LOL.

Here are some pictures of Matt and his mom and dad. Such a nice day out! We had such a great time and can't wait to see everyone on the Collar side at Thanksgiving in Colorado!

Long lost house pictures!

The house has taken the back burner as far as blog posts go! Baby C really took over like the wild child it is. We have been putting some finishing touches on our house and I have taken some pictures of the progress. This past weekend Matt's parents were in town and Dad helped us put up all of our door stoppers, decorative shelves AND toilet paper holders! Until you have no toilet paper holders, you do not realize how awesome they are. Sad reality.

Anyways! I thought I would post some pictures of the house. We are absolutely loving homeowner life! Life is very good to us. :)

Finally got an ottoman/coffee table. Also added some shelves behind the couch and an area rug! Love those.

Curtains for the windows in the table room and living room. Curtains do wonders for a room.

Out bedroom. Still needs more on the walls.

All of my china is in that buffet. Morgie snuck in for an appearance.

Lovemuffins!

Study/guest room. Needs some major work. A desk would probably be a good idea HA

Guest room.

Different view of guest room.

Baby room! 

 As you can see we still have a ways to go with decorating. But it is coming along! I will post more pictures as we finish more rooms. :)

Our baby loves to wave

I got to see Baby C today for the THIRD time! Of course he/she was waving at us...kid loves to wave. It never fails to make me laugh. This time Matt could not come, so my mom and sister came. They loved it and my mom asked 8 million questions. The nurse was so nice and showed her around my uterus LOL. The 3 of us got to hear the heartbeat too. That is pretty freakin cool! At first he/she was sleepy and kind of stretching its arms and legs. Then the nurse gave it a couple of jabs through my belly and got it to move. It was waving and moving its little hands and feet! Vey cute. I just love seeing our baby!

So, the real question from some of you veteran moms is probably "why the hell do you get so many ultrasounds?" This may be tmi for some, but I have a low lying placenta that they are going to monitor. Worse case is I would need a c section if it does not rise like it should. Today when they checked it, there was some slight improvement. I'm just at 14 weeks, so they said there is still plenty of time for the placenta to rise to its normal spot. Not ideal, but until its where they want it I get to have an ultrasound every 2-3 weeks! Next one is December 2nd. Can't wait!

Here are some pictures of Baby C:

Facing us! Alien baby (head on right)! You can see its little arm and fingers too... waving per usual.

I also think I can feel Baby C swimming around in there. It's not a kick, but its like a whirlpool in my belly. I notice it mostly at night when I am lying around. It is a cool feeling! I can't wait until we can feel kicking.

I did not post these last time...kind of delayed, possibly kind of gross, but damn right I saved them. My pee sticks! I have no shame. I also peed on like 10 of them...one just didn't cut it for me LOL.

Holy pregnant...test # 1 (9/2/11)

Then, I ran to the store and grabbed some digitals.  Yes Lea, you are "pregnant".

I continued to pee on several other tests that same day b/c I was still in shock.  I.Am.Crazy.

Me and a couple of pee sticks. All smiles :)

Matt and I still can't believe this is really happening. We are trying to decide on finding out the sex/gender (whatever you want to call it). I'm "team green" aka not wanting to find out. Matt is chomping at the bit. It will be around Christmas if we decide to find out. Also, I need to start looking into daycares and registering. We went into babies R us and we were like fish out of water. It is like a foreign country in there. All I concluded was that car seats are ridiculously heavy and there was not even a baby in it! I need to start doing some major baby research!

Much love people! xoxo
