How I love them but hate to see them go by at the end of the night. I'm really hoping i'll be able to stay at home with Owen after he's born. It's hard waking up every day and going to work. It pretty much sucks. I love what I get to do (I hate the data entry part of my job, but I like knowing people are getting proper training on their weapons), but I cannot stand my boss. He's a frickin' northerner (I pretty much dislike all northerner's) with a personality problem - ie, he doesn't have a personality. So, he's supposedly this awesome "Sales" guy, but without a personality, sorry president, I don't buy it. Oh yes, that's right! He's your cousin!! He must be perfect for the job then! DOH! I just don't see how someone with zero military/LE experience is a VP over anything at this company.. It just irritates me to no end. I'm the only one in the department that hasn't gotten written up this year yet. The only time I've ever been written up was last year because I READ AN EMAIL.. Long story. Anyway. I'd really, REALLY like it if I didn't have to work after the baby is here. I am going to milk it for all it's worth and take off 12 weeks if my plan of not working falls through. 3 months - man, it's going to be hard going back to work after that so my man needs to figure out what he's going to do. =)
Today was a beautiful day out - cold. 48 was the high. Not a cloud in the sky right now. We seldom get those days in the winter up here so when we do, we LOVE it. Working on the shower to get it re-tiled and then this bad boy of a house is going on the market. We're moving to FL this year.. NO MATTER WHAT! Moving here really helped our marriage, but we hate it here. There's nothing but cold/harsh winters and the summers aren't so great - not being able to swim in the gulf, besides while we were in Pcola this summer, REALLY SUCKS! The Atlantic is so cold. It is like having ice cubes in the water.. We're ready for Florida and we can't get there fast enough! So, pray for us and the selling of our home. Our hearts are desiring for peace in FL and we'd like to sell this place and move as soon as possible! Happy Sunday! Tomorrow is March 1st already! Two weeks later, the time changes and before you know it - spring will be here!

22 weeks, a little early
So,
This is my 22nd week blog. I'm a few days early but I forget to post sometimes. Still at 149 pounds, which is amazing considering how my belly has just popped out the past week. My uterus is growing still and it's growing a little above my belly button now. Sad to say, but it's starting to pop out =( I hated that with Ayden and I'll hate it again with Owen. Oh well. Anywho, the boy kicks all the time. I went in for another appointment yesterday and he tried to listen to the heartbeat. He found it and the baby moved away from it.. he said he heard it and said 'there's no use today, he's moving too much.' ha! I KNOW! He moves all the time. Well, my back hurts constantly.. probably time to invest in a full body pillow this weekend and get more comfy in bed and get something to help my back while I'm at my desk all day at work. Ayden is always hugging my belly and kissing it. He asks me to pull up my shirt so he can kiss little Owen. He's going to be such a big helper and a great big brother.
Todd is being sweet to me.. he's always asking how I feel and asks how 'we' are doing =) He's getting the house ready to put on the market. We have to retile the shower and possibly the bathroom floor and then it's going online. No more waiting around.. it's time to get back down to Florida.
It's about time for another meal.. I have stawberries waiting on me next. MMM! Have a super weekend!

5 month update
Well, I did post that we are having a little boy. His name is going to be Owen and we just cannot wait to see him. It's hard going to sleep knowing this precious little man is going to be in our lives in just a few more months. I don't want to rush it because this pregnancy has been great, but I can't wait to see him!
I only gained 2 pounds since my last visit, right on target. I'm at 149 pounds and it's still all in my belly. I'm horrible at taking pictures of myself but will take some and upload this week.. I hope!
The first picture is his profile and the second one.. well, I guess he's trying to cover it up! It was hilarious seeing that he was covering it almost the whole time. We'll see if he does that in real life once he gets older =)
He moves all the time and appears to be 100% healthy. Thank you, Lord! I registered at Babies R Us in case you want to check out what I'd like.. also, Target.com ... Shower will be April 3rd in Florida!

Week 20 - 5 months!
So, I am posting a little early. Monday is the actual 20th week but I was just excited... and i have a little time today to post.
Everything is going well. The baby moves a lot and it's crazy, but it moves at the same time every day. Hmm? Is someone already on a sleep schedule? I don't know if that happens invitro, but it's cool at least. I will take some pictures tomorrow, on Valentine's Day, and will post them.
I spent half of my day uploaded and resizing all of our weddings pictures from 2007. I don't know what I'll do with them yet, but I want to do something nice for Todd for our anniversary. It's March 24th so I have a bit of time still. I think just making the photo album will be nice. Of course, I am going to make him a cake and dinner and drink some non-alcoholic bubbly! Time has flown - 3 years already! This man is so good to me and Ayden. It makes this pregnancy fly by .. it's so easy. He's so sweet to me and caring. He's such a great husband and daddy!
Anyway. Friday the 19th we find out what we're having!! My mom and step-dad are coming to town and I can't wait to share the news with everyone. Friday is going to be so much fun!
Hope you're having a good weekend. Have a great Valentine's Day!

19 Week Update!
Well, The baby is moving all the time - it's moving right now. I can't wait to find out what we're having. I have two more Fridays to go until we get the first ultra sound. Yay! My mom and step-dad are coming that weekend to spend some time with Ayden. It's going to be cold, I'm sure, but they're excited to be here. I haven't seen them since Ayden's birthday last August.
We're going to be celebrating our 3rd anniversary March 24th and I can honestly say I love Todd more today than I did when we were married. He's the best thing that ever happend to me and I just love him to death. (My kids are also the best thing, but you know what I mean.)
We're going to watch the superbowl here tonight and make some cheese sticks, wish me luck, and chicken wings. And then we'll eat the delicious cookies I made and follow it down with the YUMMY vanilla bean ice cream =)

My heart is hurting for her
(I hope you don't mind me posting)
My friend, I've known her since 2nd grade, was pregnant .. She was due just 2 weeks after me. My dear, sweet, God-fearing friend lost her little one recently and I am speachless. My heart hurts. My tears are flowing. I can only give her the reassurance of my prayers and that's all I can do for her. I wish I was there with her, to hug her and love on her and to tell her that God has her in his hands. This will be used to bless others. This is an amazing gift that wasn't brought into this world for some reason. God has it in control. I have no doubt, not a shadow of a doubt that His good and perfect timing is taking over and the God who is in charge will restore her faith. She will be renewed. She will use this for the glory of God and will be able to share her stories, her words, her writing.. She will be used and she will know that she is fearfully and wonderfully made. Her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and nothing will defeat her. She is an amazing Proverbs 31 wife and all who know her, know she is being blessed in ways she cannot even imagine. The Lord is pleased with you, friend. He loves you. He cares for you. He has blessed you and will continue to bless you.
I haven't experienced a miscarriage but I can only imagine how painful these 3 have been on you an I love you more than you know girl. You are an inspiration to me and all who know you. You are blessed. YOU ARE BLESSED.
I am praying for peace which passes all understanding. I Corinthians 13 .. Love you Critt.
