Updates

Well pretty much there is no update. Even at 36 weeks and being SO miserable and uncomfortable, Doc said nothings happening. So more baking in the oven, even though the oven feels over cooked! I complain but I am glad this baby is healthy and growing well.

In other news, Dan submitted his match list last week and........... more waiting. Next week a computer system will tell us where we are going to live for the next 2-3 years! Help me get my mind off the waiting game!! Wish us luck!

Not totally lost mind

I just wanted everyone to know that my heart sunk this last week with all this absentmindedness when I realized I may have also thrown out MY own blessing dress my mom sent me a few weeks back. I was so scarred I told no one in my family, as I didn't want it to get back to mom. Sick I tell you! Just kept thinking what is wrong with me. I used to remember every step I took and now BLANK, everything BLANK! Well after admitting my faults to my mother in law, she suggested some places for me to look. Yes, yes mom I already looked there. Than a new one...... the recently boxed up Halloween decorations. Heaven is shinning down on me today!! There was that super tiny pink dress wrapped around my light up pumpkin! Lets just say I am not afraid to call mom tonight! :) But can I make it these last four weeks? I think I might place hidden cameras around my house to keep track of myself. I hope it doesn't get worse with two kids!

Pregnancy brain

Well for anyone who has grown a little one inside of them I am sure they would understand what is going on with me. I have totally lost my mind, all sense of reality really. I have done so many silly things, I can't believe my name is still Holly and not "Air Head." But one of my most recent pregnancy brain mishaps has me miss placing my camera. Which after tearing apart my house and going step by step of my every last move with the camera in hand, I have come to the conclusion that I placed the camera in the garbage can and quickly insisted that Dan take out the trash. So no camera for awhile. We need to replace it with a little girl on the way, but for now no pictures! Unless my dear sweet friends and family want to email me pictures of my awesome Halloween and trip to Utah!

Actually a lot has been happening the last few weeks with no pictures to share. I will let you see this little tid bit. Dan has been doing interviews for resident positions and has invited (begged) me to go along whenever he was close enough to drive, but when he got invited to Ft. Lauderdale, FL I invited myself (along with my son) to go. What Heaven. The beach and I are ONE!! Here is a couple of the last photos downloaded before the camera jumped out of my hands into the garbage.





Pregnancy Brain again, We went to the beach and I DIDN'T pack Hayden's swim suit!!
Hayden made me smile the whole time. He loved the water, he almost drown so many times because he would want to go further out, and totally not afraid of the surf or the fish in the water!
I have such an obsession with gators, I am just fascinated by them, my first time holding a real live baby gator!
My first time kissing a real live giant frog, that DID NOT turn into a Handsome prince afterward. Daniel was pretty relieved.
The water boat tour to go see some more real gators in the wild.
At first kiddo was a little weirded out by the sand but ten minutes later he was throwing his snacks in the sand before he would put them in his mouth and filling up his cup with sand and trying to drink it. What can I say, he is a boy!

Look at me go!

I friend borrowed me a super cute Halloween outfit for Hayden which I was totally planning on him wearing. Until last night as I was doing a little blog stocking I found THEE cutest Peter Pan Costume. So I headed to the store and started sewing early this morning! This is the end product. I am so excited!
I tried real hard to get him to pose, no luck and my picture skills aren't very good. Of course he has a super cute hat but will not have anything to do with it! If you want to check out the tutorial here is the link. Best part, it cost me all of $6.51 to make! Bring it on Halloween!

Belly pic and Kiddo

It's been a while and I have been so bad at taking pictures! So today was picture day. My fam has been inquiring about belly shots so here I am at 30 weeks! Getting so close!!




















Popcorn night!














Hayden has been SOO into trucks and cars! He loves to climb all over his tracker and not so much into driving it around. But he does love pushing it around. Still not talking to much but blabbering, YES!

Just a cute P.J. shot.

Hayden is getting smarter everyday, he makes us laugh all the time. Life can get pretty crazy busy sometimes but being a parent makes it crazy fun!

Sticky fingers

Dan gets kinda bugged sometimes at the things I give Hayden to entertain himself in the car, if I forget toys than I may give him a tire pressure gauge or a pair of old sunglasses. Well Yesterday as Dan was putting Hayden into his car seat he starts the Holly lecture which goes something like this. " Babe... you gave him toe nail clippers? That is SO GROSS, why would you do that?"
Me: "huh, what.. toe nail clippers? I have no idea what you are talking about." Well once we got a closer look at the clippers we noticed they had a store tag on them and were all bright and shiny new. My son has sticker fingers at the young age of 13 months. I know most of you would be all honest and humbled and go to the store and return the clippers or pay for them, as for me.... well I have NO CLUE where they came from. We were just out of state and went to a million places so I am just gonna let this one slide and when the self check out asks me to "Please check your cart" I will be checking my grubby sons hands!

Birthday week and more...

Dan had his birthday this week and it was such a fun day. I got him a football cake for the season, but couldn't quite fit 26 candles on it. This picture is what we constantly get to deal with, Hayden using us as a jungle gym, he thought he would use his new skills on the birthday boy.


Saturday was the game, we headed out to see Ohio State vs. Illinois. It was a lot of fun for me, its been too long since I went to a game. But it POURED! Our weather proof coats were apparently not swimming proof. The game was kinda boring because we slaughtered the other team (about time) but it was fun to get soaking wet and cheer on our team, and who could forget watching the frat girl pass out on the stairs next to us only to lie down and puke in her friends bag... Good old' OSU fans!
Hayden and I decided to make a fort with our chairs the other day and it was a hit we both had fun climbing in and out.
Nothing new but just another pic of Hayden raiding the pantry. This time unsupervised, I think he ate more cereal than an adult. I guess somebody got a little late night snack in before bed!
