Re-energized

Hi everyone. Another hiatus with no updates, I know but to be honest, and im not going to sugar coat it... I have felt like shit. Serious shit. This pregnancy hasn't been hard but it certainly has been a lot harder then my previous pregnancy. I will be 19 weeks tomorrow and up until about 2-3 days ago, I finally feel like I am getting my energy back. ...I know, I know, my last post which was quite a few weeks ago I said I was getting my energy back but ya, it stalled and conked out and went away. This time though, I think it's for real and here to stay {at least till my 3rd trimester anyways lol}.

So with that said, just a few photos to share. Nothing to spectacular but I ♥ taking photos!

Easter weekend at the in-laws house in Mississippi. They had a crawfish boil, Josh got pulled over by a sheriff for riding one of the 4-wheelers down the dirt road lol {no ticket though luckily}, and just some good time catching up with family.

My little boy lost his first tooth! I saw him last night picking at a tooth {or something} in his mouth and being discrete about it. When I asked him what he was doing he sort of shied away and when he answered I noticed his front tooth didn't look right and that's when I knew he was picking at his loose tooth! He was a little freaked out at first because he didn't know why his tooth was falling out but after me and Daddy talked to him about how and why it happens and that it happened to us and happens to everyone, he started to be more keen on the idea of a baby tooth falling out and a big boy tooth coming in. It didn't fall out last night but up until it did {this morning} he was regularly wanting to see our 'big' teeth because he thought it was cool. This morning he was eating his cereal while Josh and I were in the Kitchen and he interrupted loudly with 'Well guys, here it is!' as he held up his tooth. Just another reminder of how my little boy is growing up!

This weekend we started working on enclosing a section of the backyard for the dogs. They have been evicted from roaming the entire yard freely {if we are out there with them they can roam freely}. No this is not mean, this has to be done. The state of our backyard right now looks like complete trash. Chloe is a chewer. A big time, hardcore chewer and has chewed on everything in the yard. ALL my plants and bushes she has chewed up or dug up, the pillars at the end of the patio she has chewed on, the pool accessories she has chewed on and has chewed on any and every toy Jayden has had outside. Not to mention the digging of the holes throughout the yard and chewing on the patio furniture. So, ya, no more free roaming when we aren't out there with them {she doesn't do it when we are near her and yes, she has lots of chew toys and chewies to chew on}. Another reason we decided to enclose part of the yard is not only to keep the destruction under control but also for when people come over. Chloe isn't a mean girl but she is strong. Very strong and thinks she's a little lap dog and when she see's the kids playing she wants to join on in, in the fun and well, she doesn't realize how strong she is. After the fence is done we plan to build them a nice dog house too {they don't stay out all night, come night time they come inside}.

While Josh and J were working on the fence, I started cleaning out the veggie bed. Raked out all the leaves, tilled the dirt and just cleaned it up some. We won't plant anything until the dog fence is done {because as stated above, Chloe will just dig anything we plant right back up}. After this little project I did I had to go inside and take about a 45min. nap... Oh the joys of being pregnant lol!

The bump.

I am so ready for Summer to be here. Granted it already feels like Summer, living in the South and all but it's not Summer because the humidity hasn't showed up in full force yet. That is about the only thing I am not looking forward to. The stinkin humidity. I don't know how I feel about being pregnant in the dead of Summer but luckily we have the pool and I think I will be using our pool more so this summer then I have any previous summers since moving into this house! :-D

P.S- We find out if bean is a BOY or a GIRL tomorrow morning!!! Stay tuned!
