A few of our favorite Baby/Mama things!!

1. Cloud B
We LOVE the Gentle Giraffe and I mean we because it calms him when I am not sure what else will when my poor little man has gas pains:( The Sleep Noise helps him everytime. I first got the Sleep Sheep @ the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, thanks to Amanda's Mom Tracey, she told me Reese LOVED hers so I had to get it and so glad I did otherwise I would have never got the Giraffe and we love them both!! The Sheep helps him get back to sleep after the middle of the night feed:) They are worth every penny!!!

2. Aden + Anais

My little man loves to be swaddled!!! And I love these swaddle blankets because they are so soft against his skin and big, which makes it nice to swaddle with:) The burd clothes + bibs are amazing, my guy is kind of a spitter so after I burp him I can just put these around his neck and it catches an further spit ups after fedding and I do not have to go through a ton of outfits:) Everything from this line is super soft!! I love it!! You can get the swaddle blankets @ Sugarbabies in Sumner. I got the sleep sak and burp bibs from Diapers.com, the only place around here that carries them is up in the UVillage and I do not want to go out there. They use 100% natural cotton muslin fabric...super cozy:)!!!

3. Little me
I love the little me Pj's!!! They are super cute, soft, and a bit bigger then the Carters sizes. Blake started out in the Premies and he is currently in Newborn. He has long arms and the Little me's arms are longer then the Carters ones. He is in between sizes for carters but still in Little Me Newborn:) I have not bought any outfits from them yet but they look super cute:)!

4. Moby Wrap
The Moby Wrap is AWESOME!!! One of Bob's patients told him about it and we love it!! IT helps me get a lot of chores done around the house:) He is close and feels swaddled and usually ends of taking a nap.

5. Earth Mama Angel Baby & California Baby
I love all there lotions and body wash! It is 100% Natural for my little man and his skin loves it:) So many products have so many chemicals in it today it is nice to have something that is gentle on his skin:) Both compaines have so many great products!!

6. The Happiest Baby on the Block
I LOVE this book!!! It has helped my little man tons with his gas pains he gets! It calms him within minutes!!! Dr. Karp has some really good tips:)

Some things for Breastfeeding Moms:
1. LilyPadz
LOVE THEM!!! They have helped stopped many leaks and they are comfortable and you cannot even tell they are there!
2. Bravado Nursing Bras & Tanks
Super comfortable!!! I am all about comfort and I went searching everywhere for Nursing bras!!! I went to Nordstrom and ended up spending $70 a bra and I felt sick after doing so, so I took them back and then finally found Bravado's, ordered them online and LOVe them!! Sugarbabies in Sumner is currently carrying them:)

Almost all these items can be found @ Sugarbabies. The new store opens September 18th!!! I am excited:)!!

As I sit here I am listening to my little man make the cutest noises every as he peacefully sleeps. He must be having a really good dream. Time to get some not so fun paper work done...
Every morning we lay on his activity mat, he LOVES it:) We gets lots of smiles and sweet precious noises from him:)

I am loving being a mom and feel so very lucky to spend so much time with my sweet little boy. He is so precious and everyday I love him more and feel even more blessed that God gave me such a precious and beautiful little boy:)!!

Daddy's Growing Giant Pumpkin

So we have 2 Giant pumkpins growing so we just started taking pictures by the 2nd one. I think this one is going to be the really big and have the nice shape to it:)

This is the first one before it cracked:(
So it was a very sad day when Bob went outside to check on his pumpkin and he saw this big crack!! We think it was growing too fast, so he got this stuff that is suppose to heal it from the inside out, so far it seems to be working and the pumpkin is still growing. We are praying it does well!!!

I can not wait to take a picture with Blake all dressed up for Halloween next to it on the front porch:)!!

Summer Fun:)!!

I can not believe that my little man is already 3 weeks old and that my nephew Eli is a month old today!!! Time has been flown by, they say they grow up fast and it is so true! I have been cherishing every moment with my little man and it has been a joy to watch him grown and change over the last few weeks! I used to never be able to get up to anything in the middle of the night, but know all it takes is a tiny little noise from Blake and I am up checking him out! We have been having fun hanging out with his cousins, family, friends, and just the 3 of us:) He is so precious when he sleeps:)
My first picture of his smile, well side smile that is:)!



Next to Daddy's giant pumpkin...it just started growing in this picture so we need to take an updated one this week...it is already getting a lot bigger!!

3 weeks and a few days!!!!

Well Blake is almost here!!! We have a little more then 3 weeks and our son will be here!! It is crazy to think that 9 months has come and gone so quickly!!! I can not wait to see my son and while I do admit I am a bit scared for the whole process I try not to think about it. I never thought I would ever be a mom before I meet Bob, I just always wanted to be the Auntie that spoiled my nephews and nieces. Well I am weeks away from becoming a mom and could not be more excited and scared at the same time!! Bob & I will be a great team and I could not be more blessed to have him by my side:) He took one final fishing trip with his good friend Dr. Steve this weekend:) They left last night and will get back sometime this evening, I am hoping they catch lots of fish!! Plus Bob will get to use his new Cutco fisherman's knife I got him for Father's Day!! He was super excited for it, I got it engraved too:) But with his birthday this Friday I only have a few ideas of presents!! He always goes and buys what he wants or needs before I get a chance too!!!

This week will be fun and a super special one:)!!! My nephew Eli C. Terhune is suppose to arrive on Bob's Birthday July 2nd:) So he will be here any day and I am SO very excited to meet him and to celebrate my husband's birthday this week. So it will be an exciting week and I can not wait for the text/call that says Eli is on his way:)!!!! I have been keeping my phone by my night stand each night just in case:)

Hope you all enjoy the sunshine this weekend!!!!

A Bittersweet Thursday...

Well Thursday was my last day watching my nephew Peyton every week so I can get ready for Blake's arrival and just in case he comes early or something. I have enjoyed all my Thursday's a ton!!! Peyton and I have tons of fun together so I am definatly going to miss the little guy, he is really starting to come into his personality and repeats EVERYTHING you say:) So you really have to be careful at moments what you say! He talks like crazy for his age...it is amazing:)!! So I am sad but also excited because it means my little boy is about to arrive:)!! But we still will have a few more days of fun, they will just be on Wednesdays, but once Blake and I get in a routine, Peyton, Blake, & I will have lots of fun on Thursdays together & we will have to have Eli over too:)!! I am super excited for all the fun memories to come with my son and his cousins, those boys are going to have a blast together:)!!! So Thursday we had a fun filled day doing all the things Peyton loves to do when he comes over, including getting to go to the river with Uncle Bob on his lunch:) Peyton LOVES the Linkem's chickens and looking at the eggs they lay, so I let him get one and he absoluetly thought is was so cool...he loved his egg:)
Admiring the egg. Seeing how much he loves the chickens is making me want to have some Chickens too, so I told Bob that next year we should get chicken's because I think it would be great for Blake and something fun for the nephews when they come to hang out too:)!! Not too mention super healthy for us too:)
Playing w/ Zoe!! Zoe loves having him over because he will kick her the ball. She knows that I will not because once you throw it she will never leave you alone!!
Crossing the creek to head to the river with Uncle Bob:)!!!!

He has so much fun and tries to find the biggest rock he can to throw!!
Koco wanted a little cool down. She has become a brave little girl since we go out there so often. I was shocked she went in, Bob was with her but I was still shocked. She did not want to get out of it either and then of course all I could think about was how dirty she was going to be running through the sand all wet!! But Bob quickly reminds me its just sand and it washes off;) She loves it:)!
Swimming in the neighbors pool, well more like floating. They had about 10 noodles so all we did was go round and round collecting all the noddles we could hold:) It was fun, thank goodness they have a heater in there because the weather only just started getting warm so it was nice to not have super cold water!!!

The day was wonderful, we even shared a milkshake and fries from Frugals:)!! Something I normally do not stop for...but thought it would be fun!! Carmen came over too as she will watching Peyton on Thursdays, so he had tons of fun with his Auntie Carmen as well:) We look forward to the many more memories we get to create with Blake, Peyton, and Eli(who will be arriving anyday:)!!!)in the years to come:)!! They are all going to be such good friends, I can not wait:)!!!
