Show Us Your Life-Dream China Pattern

This week I'm participating in Kelly's Korner "Show Us Your Life". This week They are showing China patterns. When Nathan and I got married we were so young that China patterns were not on our "NEED" list when registering. We both were coming basically from living with our parents and we needed more basic things. Now that I'm growing up into a semi adult I would really like start collecting pieces every now and then. My mom has a few peices from my grandma that I'm waiting paitently to receive. It's not a full collection so I would really like an entire collection to be able to use during those special occasions.

I everything Kate Spade! Shoes, purses, clothing and even the china patterns.

I love the details on this set is simple and classy!
I LOVE the polka dots on this set! Who doesn't like polka dotsMaybe one day I will start asking for a few pieces for Christmas and Birthdays!!

24 Weeks

*Since I'm almost 25 Weeks I thought I would post this without a belly shot since I have yet to remember to get one maybe after I'll remember after church today!*

It's still hard to believe that in less in 16 weeks I will be a mother of TWO under TWO!!! We sill do not have a name for Lil B. If your wondering the B stands for Boy or the name we are 99.99% sure we are naming him but yet to make official!! The past 4 weeks I have been dreading my glucose test. Well, after all the worrying...I passed but my iron levels are super low. The dr. but me on an iron supplement twice daily. I only have one more 4 wk appointment then I start going every two weeks. I can't believe we are getting closer.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 24 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Okay this is a little confusing....my dr. hates telling me how much weight I have gained she will only tell me if I ask and then she just kinda skims over it. So when I asked I don't know if she said I gained for pounds since my last appointment. Which would put me back to my beginning weight. OR I have gained my weight back plus 4 pounds which would mean I gain 9 pounds in four weeks. Either way the dr. did not seem worried and neither am I. It's just weight and I need it to keep my baby healthy. (thats what I keep telling myself anyway)

Maternity Clothes: Yes, I'm wearing all maternity jeans and mostly maternity shirts. I can fit into a few regular shirts that I have to but a little big!

Best Moment this week: Feeling Lil B move more and more. He is definitely more active then Natalie ever was
Gender: It's A Boy

Movement: Yes it is AMAZING!

Food Craving: Rotel Dip and M & M's!

What I miss: Being able to be more active and not get so tired so easily. Which getting my iron up might help this a lot.

Sleep: It comes and goes, some nights are better then others

What I am looking forward to: Finishing up Natalie's room and starting on the nursery!

Symptoms: Lower back pains and hip pains

Pig Tails and Pony Tails

I'm so excited to announce that Natalie's hair is long enough to put up in pig tails and a pony tail. I was excited that she is finally growing hair and not sporting the mullet anymore. I need to go out and get some cute clips and bows that are small enough to sport in both pig tails.

She did not want me taking pictures of her yesterday. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. I had to be sneaky about taking them and then that did not work out to well.
At least I got one decent picture, I only had to catch by compete surprise as she turned around at me.
Taking cover in her chair.
