OH, HELLO

A lot has happened since my last blog post, I guess I got caught up with the candle shop and planning our wedding. Well, since then, we've got hitched (yay for no longer living in sin!). We also became pregnant with our second a month prior to the wedding, and of course my baby bump was in full swing early just in time for the big day :) We had to spill the beans at the wedding because there was no hiding it lol, we still had a blast and I got to marry my person.

We also moved! With another one on the way, we had decided that maybe we should move closer to family and find a newer home that would be safer for the kids. We were living in a house that was 117 years old, there were gas lines coming up from the ground in each room, lead paint behind lots and lots of layers of paint, the house wouldn't keep warm during the winter, and we just didn't like how our little town that we fell in love with, was starting to go down hill due to the city manager. We had amazing neighbors that I keep in touch with, they were the best part about the town, beside the food!

We found an awesome neighborhood that focuses on families and children, every holiday is celebrated hugely here, which I love and I can't wait for Halloween! I've been nesting like crazy and have been trying to get the house ready before baby arrives, so i'll be posting some post of before and afters. 

I'm currently on modified bed rest for another week due to this baby sizing so big and having high fluids, I was having pre term contractions from lugging this big ol' belly around. Trying to stay in bed and rest is hard when you have a toddler and all you want to do is nest and get things ready. Thankfully I went hard beforehand and got mostly everything ready for baby. Now we just have to wait for the big day!

I will be posting more now that things have kind of slowed down, my candle shop was put on hold during the move and I'm thinking it's a good idea to keep it on vacation mode till this new little one is a few months old. I want to focus on my growing little family. 

HAPPENING LATELY

Napping with dad, while mama got ready for a trip to the grocery store. Dad was totally faking it.

I love his angle kiss birthmark, I always wonder if it'll stay or move somewhere else as he grows.

We finally decided to do our engagement photos, you know like three months before the wedding. I wanted a fall color for my nails, I did great at staying in the lines....yea right.

I finished the blanket my sister asked for my niece so she has a blanket for daycare, the fabric says "because i'm your mom that's why" LOVE it.

Oliver started crawling on Friday (yay!), so since we've been working on walking.....he's totally thrilled about it.

We had my niece last night so my sister could go out for her birthday. Addy and I had a girls night,  painting our nails and building forts with cats. Don't worry, that's my grown up juice. 

Today we went to meet dad for lunch at canes, and I didn't want to just go home afterwards and be stuck inside the house with two kids on a rainy day,  so I decided to take a trip to target. Just a simple trip. Oliver had a complete blow out in the parking lot, everywhere. While I was getting him cleaned up and in a new diaper, he decided to pee, all over himself and his face. We went into Target with him in just a diaper, classy. Oliver got new clothes, he seems pretty proud of himself. Addy got a Barbie, her first barbie! Mama got coffee, then decided that was enough fun for me. Successful trip to Target! el oh el.

Then we jammed out to Best Coast the whole way home, because it's my go to summer tunes and i'm ready for summer to be over.

Side note, we go to target too much. Oliver is going to think it's his second home or something.
