Happy Fall Y'all....and Hey I'm 22 Weeks!

Happy Fall Y'all! (grins) Fall Autumn ...whatever you prefer to call it is my favorite season! Hubs knows this and just gives in! Yes, I already started decorating for Fall. The inside of the house is underway w/spiders and cats and pumpkins. I am heading to Market Street today for my white pumpkin to stencil our initial on! I then buy orange ones and stencil (w/help from my cricut) other cool shapes! Yes I'm excited! I also saw a tutorial for those tp pumpkins....(thanks Natalie over at The Busy Budgeting Mama)


I started decorating outside and was putting together our little pumpkin boy. He actually stands inside the front door greeting guests, but I wanted to see if Lily remembered him from last year. (yeah right) At first she wouldn't go near him....



Then they were buds!

Check what I did over the shower in the guest bathroom. This is the only bathroom downstairs and is used often by the kids....haha. Mini Me won't use it right now....she doesn't like Pirate Peg watching her!



Yesterday LilyPie was in the yard making funny sounds when she heard airmains (airplanes) going by..I snapped a few shots of her face...she cracks me up!




She then proceeded to suffocate her babies in the grass....I think she thought they were sniffing it...but ..



Now I'm on the hunt to find costumes for Mini Me and Little Demon.......hmmmmmmmm

Hey on another note....I'm 22 weeks today....have my midwife appt tomorrow and the weight gain is finally upon us....
I've gained a whopping 17lbs....shesh! I blame it on .....well food!


I feel little boy just a moving and a shaking. Hubs has felt him too....The kids are still giggling and can't sit still long enough to wait for a kick here or there!

My back aches are setting in...you know were you can feel your lower sacrum starting to slip when you've sat in the wrong position too long? Ugh...I don't remember it starting this early w/the others....

I've got that acid reflux issue too...where it feels like you want to brush your tongue a million times a day b/c that sweet blech taste is sitting on the back of your tongue ruining all meals!

No swelling as of yet...I'm hoping it will stay away since it usually happens after 30 weeks and this time I'm heading into fall/winter during those weeks!

Another freaky thing....my ring finger on my left hand is breaking out....now my wedding band has never ever given me issues and it's white gold so not sure...I switched to a small james avery silver band....same thing....it looks like a ring has been burned on my finger and feels like it too....so needless to say I'm ringless! sniff sniff! I guess my hormones are acting screwy!

Other than that...doing terrific! I'm still coming up with ideas for decorating! I did score on the bedding.....thanks to Facebook and asking if anyone knew were to find cowprint material...a friend said she had some Western Themed bedding she'd sell to me....it was away in storage ....a blanket....crib skirt....bumpers....crib sheet and 2 valances! She sent a picture and I nearly died! All that for $100! I was floored and thrilled and soooo excited! She's mailing it to me this week...I'll have the room ready in no time...(stay tuned for photos)

As soon as I get the bedding in I'll be able to recover the lampshade (right now it's pink and white gingham) same w/the glider cushions!
