TuTu cute!

My newest creation! Lady bug tutu for a dance costume. I had so much fun making this little tutu I can't wait to finish the rest. More tutu's to come.

It's been a bit since I've updated anything, but as things change weekly there are always things to update! We are four months now and I can't believe it, but I am actually feeling great! This is the first week that I am feeling a little more pregnant and a little less pudgy! After the first trimester I couldn't believe women actually said they enjoyed being pregnant, but now that I have turned the corner I am actually doing ok with all the changes my body  is going through. It is a lot of fun to see my tummy change and I am getting so excited to feel little peanut moving around! My lesson learned: if things are getting too small, buy bigger things. You don't need to go overboard buying a new wardrobe, but have a sports-bra that fits your giant pregnancy chest can make all the difference to your comfort and confidence! 
I have started working on baby's room, ordered some of the wall decor, and have done some of the crib! We have another ultrasound at the beginning of March and we are hoping to find out if baby is a little girl peanut or boy peanut! Sad to say I have made the decision to finish Dance Moves this session, so I only have four weeks left with my ladies and I will not be returning for the Spring session. This will give me some time to rest and get things ready for the big changes ahead! Chevy is doing well, growing bigger every day. That may have something to do with the trouble she got herself into last week when she managed to get into the house while we were out for the day. She must have been hungry because she finished off a bowl of food, a freezer bag of food, a ziplock bag of treats and an entire package of treats! Needless to say someone has had a messy bum this weekend. Anyway that it is for today, its been a full day of work so I am off to enjoy some much deserved R&R.

4 Weeks

Second Trimester

Well thanks to Mom we have our first piece of baby furniture, the crib. It is so exciting to start setting up the room, even if we still have 6 months to go! Sandy and I will be going on our last trip (for a while) with just the two of us. We are off to spend some time in Phoenix at the end of March at his parents newly renovated place! Very excited. 

We can now officially say that along with our new puppy we will be adding another addition to our family in August! We are not sure if it is a boy or girl yet, all that we do know is so far it is a healthy little baby! Hopefully with his new playmate Chevy, Benson will adjust to the new baby and not feel too jealous. 

Finally we have had some nice weather, so Chevy has been out for a walk every day since we rose above -30. Lucky girl. She had a quick trip to the vet this week to treat her sick tummy after being fed too many cheese buns when she went to work with dad. After cleaning out her kennel twice I think Sandy will learn not to give her human food anymore. This past week was princess week at dance with the preschoolers and they had a great time dressing up in their princess costumes and making crowns in class. Seeing the little ones makes me very excited for our own. The highlight of today was when one of the little girls told me about her pet "skinny" pig. When I asked her if she meant guinea pig she replied no, I'm sure its a skinny pig. Tomorrow we are off to Bridal Fantasy with Kyla to check out some wedding trends and hopefully give her some ideas for her wedding! Can't Wait!

Lime Day

We have an exciting day today, but before we get to that I have a little catch up to do from the entire week! DanceMoves started this week, it is always a lot of fun (and a lot of work) starting a new session. But I do love to meet all the new participants and reconnect with the returning ones. I have been busy all week preparing the routines and doing all the paperwork that goes along with it. Its a bittersweet feeling knowing this will most likely be my last session with DanceMoves for a little while! I will miss the ladies so much. 


On to the less exciting events of the week, we seem to have some issue with our sewage, a pipe has frozen somewhere. Yikes. Poor Sandy is out in the -30 weather trying to figure out where the problem is and fix it! I hope he is successful. And speaking of bathroom problems, poor Chevy had doggy diareah all night! At least it was in the garage and not the house! 


But as for today we are off to for an exciting appointment! I will post an update later and give more details then!
