What's Going On- April 2014

This week has been hot. Its a different kind of hot though. My body isn't handling it well, at all. I'm thinking the pregnancy has a lot to do with it but my goodness. I thought if you lived in San Diego, you didn't need an air conditioner? WRONG! Very wrong. Our unit doesn't have one because we live one block from the beach. I am getting more ready everyday to move into military housing…but until then, Thank you, Lord, for a roof over my head! Please send a cool breeze or 1,0000.

This is gonna be a "what pictures are on my Mac and my phone" type post. The fun kind you just can't wait to read, right?

Anyways, let's see whats been going on besides bump dates!

I should have gotten a better picture of just the Mommy and Daddy, but we had a surprise diaper shower for our friends Donnie and Jenny! Chloe will be here in the middle of May and we can't wait to spoil her!

My sweet husband battling till the end of the Dirty Diaper game! I'll spare you the pictures of the guys eating the chocolate out of the diapers. Ladies, if you have a couple's baby shower, make the men play this. Its the absolute funniest thing ever! They get into it and aren't scared to shout out hilarious answers.

Rosie has been just as cute as ever. She's still my favorite girl! She is thrilled that Carter is a boy ;)

I know I shouldn't be buying too many clothes for C, but when I think of little boys.. I think blue and white Osh Kosh overalls. Had to have them!

We celebrated our last "just us' Easter! We spent the morning at a Sunrise Service on the beach and then our normal service at church. My friend and I got a menu together a couple weeks ago for a Easter "team lunch" so we headed over there for a late lunch. Of course we had extra guys there which is always ok with us! We ate some yummy food and headed home for most likely a nap. Hey, Im pregnant. Mostly lazy, but pregnant is my excuse for now.

I haven't figured out my pregnant picture stance. I mostly feel awkward unless Im in my Baby Bumpdate Stance. Hopefully Ill figure it out before any baby showers!

Look at that belly! It looks so big from the top! And Rosie was cuddling with Carter. I bet she heard him…he was movin' and groovin' here!

That's been my life the past month! Ill be doing my 6 month bump date next week! This belly has popped in the last week! And we might finally go register this weekend!

Here is a look at Easter last year. I got way more into the decorations for sure! And Rosie was just a babe! I miss that round puppy face! Gotta stop looking so I don't go buy another Cocker Spaniel this week!

first blogger meet up- pottery painting

This past weekend was a busy one. Nick and I normally hang out at home and watch tv or do the occasional DIY project. Which has been going on a lot since Christmas present season is here. This weekend was great though! We put together some frames for the house AND I met some very fun gals! Oh and the most exciting news……. We found a church home!

If you have moved away from your home church (for good), you know what I am about to say. IT IS HARD. It is hard to find a church home. Though its not at all the right thing, you instinctively compare. We were a little defeated. But the past two Sundays, we were fed. I love the family feel of this church. There always seems to be something to go to or get involved in. We found a bible preaching church and we are ready to serve! I am so excited to invest in this church family. If you are in the San Diego area near Coronado Island, please come visit First Baptist Coronado! You will feel right at home! Plus you will be in the quaintest town you've ever seen! Win-win.

Okay, let's rewind back to Friday! I'll just share a quick picture since I want to tell you all about Saturday!

iPhone quality obviously, but I did't want to be the new girl who brought the huge mom camera. Oh and sorry about the trash tray. I was definitely not being the most observant blogger that night.

Onward to Saturday!

This little group was awesome! We are all military bloggers so that connection is instant! I feel like everyone felt right at home even though first time meetings can make you a little anxious. The girls who had been meeting a couple times before made us new gals feel so welcome! God just works things out when you need it most!

I met up with Katie, from Going Coastal, and we hopped in the car to make our way to meet the rest of the girls at Panera! We had a yummy lunch and two of the girls even brought us some Christmas happies! So so sweet! After lunch we walked over to Color Me Mine to paint some pottery. That place was hoppin. Thank goodness our thoughtful group leaders had organized it and already reserved us a couple of tables. We all finally picked out of pieces and paint colors, and spent the next couple of hours laughing and painting. It was so good for the soul! Plus we all walked away with 7 new friends! It makes a difference when you move to a brand new BIG place. These girls have some fun personalities that will be so so good for me when the hard times come! I'm so thankful for the blog world on days like this. When the bloggers become people you SEE, it makes it even more fun!
