I need to be better at updating my blog! Last week Josh was gone to camp all week. Hannah & I missed him terribly! I hate it when he isn't here and Hannah cried a lot for her daddy. She has become a daddy's girl and loves it when he comes home from work! Every morning when she wakes up she asks me "Where is daddy?" We visited him on Wednesday & Thursday night. We were both SO happy to see him. We are happy that he is home and we are back in a routine again.

One day last week, I went out to water my flowers and ended up spraying Hannah with the water hose. She played in the water & with her umbrella for as long as I was willing to spray her!







Friday afternoon I had a doctor's appointment. Everything is looking great. I had gained a little more weight than I wanted - 6 more pounds! Oops :0) The baby's heart rate was 153 & I am measuring right at 25 weeks. I am anemic and now have to take an iron pill a day. YUCK! I hate taking those things. It makes my stomach hurt and everything tastes like I have licked a penny. It isn't fun but necessary. I just hope that my iron levels are up next visit because I don't want to have to take two a day. I ended up having to with Hannah and that was no fun. Other than that, everything is going along as planned. I am getting more and more excited about seeing this little angel's face! Only 3 more months to go! We are still undecided about a name but Hannah now thinks we should name her "Holla." Luckily she will not be involved in the final decision. :0)

Saturday we decided we were going to go to a farm to pick strawberries. I had looked it up online and thought it would be fun. Hannah was so excited about going. We drove a good 45 minutes to the place and when we got there they were out of strawberries. Hannah cried the saddest, broken-hearted cry and made us both feel bad that we had to leave empty handed. So we took her to Chic-Fil-A to play which made her happy. Then we went to Wal-mart and bought her a sprinkler. She played in it all afternoon.

Sunday we spent the afternoon (after worship services, of course) around the house still trying to catch up from the lack of sleep the week before. Then we went back to church and went to eat at Subway with the usual Sunday night group.

Monday Hannah & I made our Publix run. I didn't do as good this time but still saved almost $40 in coupons. We spent the rest of the day cleaning house.

Tuesday Pam & Emily brought Xander over to play with Hannah. We were going to let them play in the sprinkler but Emily's friend called and told us to all come swimming at her house. So we took her up on the offer. We swam a good 3 hours. Hannah is a little fish and loved being with Xander all day. We came home, got ready, iced our cupcakes, & went to the devotional at church. Paul spoke and did a great job.

Wednesday we met Emily & Jared at the movie to see the free movie. It was the Tale of Desperaux (sp?). It was a terrible movie but Hannah made it through without getting too loud. It didn't really matter because it was full of kids anyway. Although one lady that sat by us didn't like Hannah being excited about the movie starting and shushed her. This was after she told Hannah to sit down even though the movie hadn't started and Hannah was trying to ask her if her child could have some of her candy. Oh well maybe she was having a bad day. Anyway it was only the second time Hannah had ever been in a theater and the first time was at the dollar movie so it wasn't that great. She was so excited! Here is a picture of her before the movie began...


After the movie we met Josh for lunch. Then Hannah & I hit a local consignment shop. I bought Hannah a few dresses and the baby several things. Hannah found some rain boots and fell in love with them. I bought them for her and now she walks around the house in her rain boots with her umbrella singing Barney songs. Mainly the one that goes "if all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops." I need to video this and take some pictures because it is adorable!

Today we just lazed around the house and then went to David & Susan's house to swim. We stayed for dinner, which was delicious. I really need to put my child to bed before she tears our house apart. When she gets tired she gets wild and destructive. But before I end this very long post, I have to tell you a little funny. Today Hannah was laying her head on my belly and she looked up at me and said "Mommy, is our baby naked in there?" I told her yes because babies don't have clothes on while they are growing in their mommy's tummies. I told her we would have to wait until she gets here to put clothes on her. She wanted to take her out, put clothes on her, and put her back in. I told her we couldn't do that but we would put clothes on her in a couple of months. I have no idea what made her think about her being naked but it made for a good laugh!
