Monday Afternoon Update
1. I'm 13-1/2 weeks along. At my dr appointment on Wednesday we will probably schedule my sonogram date. Look for a poll to guess what we're having!
2. Most people are thoroughly convinced we are having a girl. I never have any inclination either way. John has said from the minute we found out I was pregnant that it's going to be a girl! And my mom is already checking the girl sections every time she is at the store.
3. I've been super tired lately. And ridiculously tired of all of the headaches I get. Come 6 or 7pm and I can feel a headache looming and it always ends with me snuggling on the couch till bedtime. It totally sucks!
4. If you're my friend on Facebook you already know that we have spent many many long nights watching The Office. My friend Holly let us borrow the first two seasons and we were hooked. After finishing Season 2 late one Thursday night, I found myself at Walmart buying Seasons 3 and 4 as early birthday presents! (Plus they were only $25 compared to $40 at Target and Best Buy!) We're in the middle of Season 4 now. Even though it's gotten a little less interesting now that Pam and Jim are together, I still love it!
5. Jim and Pam have officially replaced Ross and Rachel, Marshall and Lily and Booth and Bones as my favorite tv couple ever.
6. Ben is great. Since I'm tired a lot I find myself easily irritated with every little thing he does. I'm trying to be more patient but man it's hard!
7. Ben is also getting more and more interested in spelling and words. I have a feeling he's close to ready for me to help him start putting words together, but I have no idea where to start! Any advice?
8. John is awesome. Working hard as always and he's been more than patient with me feeling sick a lot. I mean, our house is a disaster! But he just tells me to relax and not worry about that stuff now and we'll work hard to get everything together when I start to feel better. I love him.
9. My little business is going great! I've had a few crazy busy weeks trying to get some really large print orders taken care of and managing our schedules so that we shoot the clients we can and make time for everything else that goes with it. It definitely hasn't been easy. I know I've been able to put on a much stronger front than I actually manage in the background. I love taking pictures and we have had so much fun over the past few months!
10. Since everyone is convinced we are having a girl, I thought I'd leave you with some things I've been looking at online that are on my wish list:
This bedding set from Walmart. I know it's Walmart, but it's only $49!
This head band. Mostly because that baby girl is the most adorable thing ever!
Isn't this so cute?
Okay that's it. I'm so tired! I'm trying to be a better blogger both here and on my photo blog!
That bedding is really cute! And the price makes it even better!
That bedding is adorable, and I agree the price makes it that much more fabulous! and I am LOVING headbands like that for little girls, no more of those crazy huge bows.
As far as learning words, try the dollar tree for flash cards and easy books and school supplies, I have found some really fun stuff, and it's great for the price. start simple with animals and things. They pick it up really fast!
Gah! That bedding is on clearance too! everything is marked down. too bad you can't get it now!
Love the bedding and the headband!! Oh my goodness, I am in trouble when I have a girl! I think you may be too!
OK, I never would have thought that bedding was from walmart!!! I LOVE it! As for Bens reading. We get the leap frog videos and they are great!!! Kinsley learned all of her letter and there sounds when she was just 2 and it was mostly from that video. They have one that is for words. You might try that!
The bedding is too cute. It would make a great room. As for things to start with Ben, I would suggest Hooked on Phonics. My Dad did it with Imogen, and he is doing it now with Lorelai. It works great.
The bedding is adorable! And you've inspired me to spend an hour (or two) looking for cute baby things, too!
cute girl stuff! you have such good taste! sorry i didn't get to say good-bye last night.
if you need anything, let me know! i can run errands or whatever!
Oh, and I love Jim and Pam, too! They are such a sweet couple. I'd take a Jim, if he came my way! :)
Everyone has already said it but LOVE the bedding and that gorgeous little girl!!! Oh wait, we're talking about the headband, not the girl, right? lol
Caleb and I SWEAR by BOB BOOKS. They are amazing to help beginning readers and Madyson is already on the 4th set. She reads so well and we attribute it to the simplicity of those books. They are usually much cheaper on overstock.com than other places.

CJ learned to read with He-man and Batman books. He'd sound out the "bam" "zap" "pow" words, and it took off from there. The bedding is adorable, but will Ben like it in his room?
Did they put a wig on that little girl?? That seems like a LOT of hair...
