Busy Friday

To begin with, we were out of our normal Friday routine of sleeping in and then eating our usual cinnamon roll breakfast in bed because my oven was broken.  The phone call of the repair man woke me up, but we stayed in bed and decided we would call back later.  When we did call back they said they were out and about town making their repair runs so we decided we better get ourselves ready for the day.  Just as we were done with that the doorbell rings and the repair man was at our house already!  It ended up he had to order the part and probably wouldn't get back to fix it until next week.  I was kind of bummed out about that because I like to bake.

In the meantime, we decided that we needed to get Sadie to the Vet to have a bath, so we called to see how much it would be and if they could fit her in and they said they could at 11:30am which was in only 20 minutes!  We got ready to go and got the Jeep warmed up and loaded her in the car and took her to the Vet.  She wasn't going to be done until 12:30 or so, so we went to Wal-mart and got her a new bed, grabbed lunch and came home to eat.  Almost as soon as we were done the phone rang and it was the Vet saying they were almost done with Sadie, but they needed Travis' help to hold her while they clipped her nails.  So we went back to the Vet and Sadie looked so good, the best we have seen her!  They tried to clip her nails, but she was not having it.  We were okay with it though and she did pretty well considering she had never been groomed before.  They brought out a golden lab that had been abandoned by his owner to meet Sadie and he was all over her, she wasn't sure what to do!  We told them we would spread the word about him, but we just couldn't take another dog with a baby on the way.

We get back home and decided we needed to take Sadie's kennel to the car wash to clean it out where she was so dirty.  So Travis went out to the garage and took it apart so we could fit it in the Jeep, when he was done, we took it to the car wash.  We picked the worst possible day to do this because it is only 9 degrees and snowing outside, but we didn't want our nice clean dog to have to sleep in that thing at night.  We got home from doing that and had a little bit of time to relax before the phone rings and it is the oven repairman calling to say they got the part in already and he would be over in a few minutes to fix our oven!  It only took him about 5 minutes to fix it.  I was so glad.  After he left, Travis had to get ready to go to the office for a little while, so now I am waiting for him to get home and maybe our evening will be more relaxing!

Kicking!

The baby has been kicking and moving so much lately.  I love it.  You can even start to see her move which I think is so neat.  She is very active, I think she is going to be like her daddy.  We can't wait until May gets here and we finally get to meet her!

Valentine's Birthday

Today is not only Valentine's day, but my birthday!  It has been a great day.  Travis started the day off right with breakfast in bed and flowers.  Then for my birthday he got me a rocking chair that I wanted for the baby's room. He is so good to me and I am so blessed to have him.  This evening we enjoyed my chocolate heart  shaped cake, a tradition that my mom started when we were little kids.  Travis wasn't left out in all the festivities, he had a Valentine's gift also, a new ring that he wanted. We had a great day!

I wasn't the only one happy Travis was home from Indiana!

25 weeks!

I cannot believe that this week I will be 25 weeks into my pregnancy!  September doesn't seem that long ago and now May is right around the corner!  I cannot wait for our sweet little girl Sophie's arrival.  This month I hope to get some more furniture for her nursery and start getting some stuff together for her arrival. Don't get me wrong, she already has quite the wardrobe, but I just can't resist buying more!  It's so much fun and I already love her so much. Only 16 weeks and 3 days until my due date, but I'm hoping I don't have to wait that long :)

Our Pets

I find Sadie sleeping like this often, but every time I try to get her picture, she rolls over.  Finally, she was in a deeper sleep than normal and I was able to get this shot.  She is such a sweet dog and we were so lucky to get her.  She is definitely Travis' buddy and just looks at me as the disciplinarian, but I'm okay with that, I'm just glad she'll listen to me!

One night when Sadie was curled up asleep on her pillow, I noticed George go up behind her and start sniffing around her back.  I thought he was checking things out and would go on as he usually does, but tonight, he just wanted to be close to her I guess.  Before I knew it he was curled up behind her and I was like this is just too cute.  I'm so glad they get along, Sadie is the only dog that George likes, I think it is just because he has known her since he was only weeks old.

In the picture above, Travis had gotten out his bag to go skiing the next day and for some reason George thought this would be a nice place to curl up and relax.  He is so cute and it's so funny to see where he will decide to sleep next.  He is definitely more affectionate toward Travis, I'm not sure why, but both our animals are this way.
