35 weeks with a side of Summer!

This week is going to be a long one:( The anniversary of my brothers passing is just 7 days away and the day after fathers day. There is not a day that goes by that I don't feel him and my Uncle Bill guiding us and giving us the strength that we need. Some of us need it more:( We have a special Corn hole planned for next Monday that will hopefully bring us all together, I know my brother and Uncle will be there to show us how much they are still very much with us. 

Speaking of Corn hole and Allan being with us... We had my Dad's Family Picnic a couple Sunday's ago and my Nephew and Uncle won the whole tournament... this was the first year without Allan being there. He always helped my Dad organize every year and from now on the tournament will be in his name:) Allan was with us and it made everyone so happy that my Nephew and Uncle won this year! 

This was a shot of all of the cousins together 75 years of family picnincs!

35 weeks and feeling more Pregnant everyday. Feet are huge, Belly Huge! 4 More weeks to go until we meet Our Baby Nugget:) I am beyond excited! Feeling very emotional this month with everything but, take great comfort in the little signs that Our Angels are watching over us. Just a few more weeks until Beau's Birthday! He is so ready to turn 3:) Praying Nugget stays put, it cools down a few degrees, No Rain , Lots of Fun with Family and I get some sort of energy burst to pull it all off!

We have this week ahead of us that none of us is looking forward to. Please if you can say a few prayers that we can get through all of the hard stuff ... we are going to need them.

33 and 34 weeks

Just a little behind in Posting about 33 so I figured it would be a combo this week:) It all feels the same anyway ha! Bigger is the theme of this pregnancy and moving slow is my game:) All woman pregnant during Summer Months should just plan on shaving once a week or wax because, let's be honest who has the time or energy to do it more? Seriously, I am not complaining we are very blessed and Happy to be adding to our Family... we can't wait to find out who is in there making all these wiggly moves like Jagger:)

Summer is in full on ready. set. go! Swimming, Festivals, Picnics and Summer FOOD! My cravings are now Summer related and I want it all:) About 24 days till we have an official 3 Year Old! Still can not believe this. Everyday is a Sweeney Adventure and The Summer of Beau is going to be Fun:) I know we will be restricted once baby NUGGET arrives and that is when Papa and Beau get to have all the Fun... and I finally get to enjoy a Frosty Adult Beverage:)

 We will be Pool Hanging at our friends this Summer:)

 Getting ready to Pressure Wash because, I can not sit still this pregnancy!

Life Lately

 Every week that passes I am getting more excited about meeting Our Baby Nugget:) I remember the exact day we found out we were going to be blessed with another little blessing and have been dreaming about the day we would become a family of 4 ever since! Sometimes it feels like we have hit the fast forward button on this Pregnancy and other times I feel like we are in Slow Motion! Emotions are crazy my heart is feeling happy. We are getting ready for Summer with a 3 year old...eek! This is our life lately.

 

 One of my favorite meals Scott makes right now is his Noodle Bowl:) It  is so yummy! Last week I broke out the Chopsticks and this Little boy wanted to give it a go... He was a Huge Fan right away.

 Summer is here! Not officially but, our Splash Park and pool opened last Saturday so we decided to take the Splash Park on for a bit!

 Hanging out in the back yard with a few cool pups and Aunt Emmy... discussing life!

 My Energy with this weather lately has been going down so fast... Beau and I have been napping together lately because, I want to cuddle him as much as possible right now! We also had our first BIG BOO BOO at the splash park:( Lightning MCQueen band aides to the rescue!

 Summer Bevs are on my mind BIG TIME! I have been drinking Lemonade like crazy:)

 We are getting ready for Beau's Big 3 Birthday! Mama made this invite and Text it to all of our guests because, it was a lot easier especially with all the other stuff we are trying to get done right now! Just a family affair and hopefully Nugget cooperates and stays put till after his Birthday!

 We made a piece of Art for Baby Nugget to hang above the Changing table in Our room:) Having another baby and not an extra bedroom to decorate :( We also wanted to involve Beau in helping welcoming his new Brother or Sister!

 He really enjoyed making it!

 It turned out Perfect!

 This Boy loves JEEPS right now... This is my friends new Jeep! Beau loved it and did not want to get out of it:) Aviators and Jeeps are a Must!

Outside is where it is at! He loves helping water flowers and Playing in water! So our Summer theme will be WATER! SO here we go into 33 weeks this week! Going to do Pregnancy Photos today and Family pics:) Super excited to get a few other things done like packing for the Hospital double EEK!

31 Weeks of Emotions

We are almost to this Little Nuggets Birthday! Life is going to change in some pretty crazy ways for us. Emotionally I am all over the place with this... Beau was truly a Blessing and looking back on all of our pictures and videos has my crazy hormones all in a rage. Next month we will be celebrating his third birthday, next month we will be a year since my brother has passed. Next month will be a year since the last time I hugged or even saw my brother. I am very afraid for many reasons but, mainly because I am about to be blessed with another little baby to love during a very difficult time for my family. This life stuff is hard. I look at the innocent little boy who is learning so much so fast and I break down. My fears are great right now and I struggle to sometimes keep it all together but, I am his Mama and I know it is my job to. We are about to be a family of four and that freaks me out a little bit even more so than becoming parents for the first time.  Beau will be an Awesome Big Brother for so many reasons but, mainly because, of his kind heart and this makes all these sad moments I am going through right now a lot more manageable.

Life is slowing down in many ways... Beau has to be his independent self which makes time management so much harder! If we are in the biggest hurry is when it gets to me...I always pray for patience during these times! We sure do know we have our work cut out for us after Nugget arrives and hope we can figure out new routines pretty quickly and become even more organized than ever! My heart knows we do have some really big hurdles ahead of us for so many reasons, praying harder than ever that we can get through these tough times, while still enjoying the happy moments. My Brother and Uncle are not far from us and the feeling of their love is helping me deal with everyday stuff. I truly feel they sent this baby to us for us to love. Everyday without them is hard, some days life is easy breezy and then the next you are hit with this awful reality. Tomorrow will be 11 months without him. My views on a lot have changed over the past 11 months especially life and bringing another life into the world right around the time we lost a very special one is going to be so very bittersweet. Please keep us in your prayers.

Happy times do exist and I will embrace them because, if anything I have realized in the past 11 Months you really never know!

 This is life and we are doing our best to live each day even though some days are harder than others:( Prayers for all of our Family and Friends going through difficult times.
