Crusin

Okay where to start ... First let me start by saying that we were very very lucky that we had Andy's parents with us. I do not ... repeat DO NOT suggest ANYONE who has a "baby" on a specific schedule to take a cruise by themselves. Tatum can take a NAP anywhere no big deal ... she can differ from her eating schedule 30 minutes either way but her bed time schedule is NOT to be messed with ... which by the way is now 6:30pm - 6:15am! YIKES RIGHT ... well we did not all 6 get to eat as a family together EVER! (for dinner that is) they originally set our dinner for 8 ... even though we requested 6. We argued for 6 several times, never did we get it. Which in the end would not have worked anyway since the baby goes down at 6:30. Thanks to Andy's parents we were able to eat at 6 by our selves 3 times and then one night we ate with Adam and Susan (Andy's brother and his GF) and one night with his mom and dad (thanks to Adam and Susan!) They have never kept her before and we were worried she would wake up while we were out ... she never did! (Good girl) Anyway ... Dinner was a NIGHTMARE however the rest of the cruise was wonderful!





Andy and I got off by ourselves in the Bahamas, Tatum stayed with Grandma and Grandpa!



Here are some random pictures ... hope you enjoy!

HOME

Hey everyone I am HOME! The cruise was wonderful ... I do not recommend anyone taking a infant that lives on a schedule on a cruise! It was very hard and trying! It is a good thing that my husbands family was with us ... or we would have been cabin bound the entire time ... it was rough! I will post more later, this week with pictures and stuff of course!

I missed you all so so much and I will try very hard to catch up on you by weeks end!

Hope you all missed me!

PS I heard the house was finished being painted ... OMG going to see it first thing in the AM~

First day Before and After Pictures


We closed on the house Friday at 2pm ... as soon as we left the Lawyers office we headed straight over to "OUR RIVER HOUSE" to take pictures! Here Andy is removing the for sale sign!




Okay I didn't get over to the house today to take any "Good" pictures of the fish pond or the pool. The pool man came over the past 3 days and has been working on it - I will stop on my way home from work tomorrow and get pictures of the Fish pond and pool. But I did take pictures of us tearing down the "green house"



Before: See Building all the way to the left of the screen ... it is covered with hard plastic and rotten wood -

After day one of tear down:Plastic and wood mostly removed ... we are leaving the 4x4's to put up a new covered back porch/grilling deck!

Now I don't have a before and after for this one but I wanted to see how many of you would gag like I did ... while cleaning out the 1/2 bath I took out all of the drawers and scrubbed them ... I opened the last one to find ... Finger nail clippings ... OMG how gross! Really I almost threw up - I had to walk away 3 times before I could dump them, I had NO idea my mom snapped a picture if the clippings before I started to scrub ... here ya go looks like about 5 years worth!

Day 1 River House Make Over

Well we closed on the "River House" yesterday. Today was the FIRST day of work. I think I may have left an inch or two of my ass there. I worked it off today! haha Today we cleaned the dow stiars half bath, I mean cleaned it! New toilet seat, scrubbed the walls, floor, the cabinets and scrubbed down the door. It looked almost new when we were done, I say we because my mom was there helping me today. We took turns scrubbing and caring for Tatum. All the bathroom needs is some paint a picture or two a new mirror and a nice rug! Next - I drug 4 wheel barrels of MUCK out of the Coy Fish pond. It was the nasty thing I have ever in my LIFE smelt! It had about 5 inches think if mud, leaves and trash in the bottom of all 3 ponds. It was nasty! Then we tore down the "green house - bird house" in the back left corner ... we were almost done and I could do NO MORE and neither could my Dad or Mom. Andy had to work today, he did bring us lunch and stopped by 2 times to check on us. Not too shabby for one day's work! I am EXHAUSTED and ready for dinner, a bath and BED!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Baby Update

Well we went today to the Dr ... it was exaclty what I remember only 6 months ago! haha
No really ... I miss calculated my "stuff" I am now according to measurement 8 weeks along not 9. Of course I started to get worried when she told me I was a week little ... which is good because that was the FIRST time since that stick said + that I have actully felt ANY CONNECTION to the little seed. However she started to tell me that it was a possibility that I ovulated later than I thought ... as soon as she said it I was like oh yeah I forgot to tell you that ... with Tatum I was ovulating anywhere from 18 - 20 days after 1st day cycle ... so maybe that is just normal for me! She agreed!
Said that EVERYTHING as of now looks great, we saw the heart pounding away and saw all the other stuff that was supposed to be in place. I go back in 4 weeks! I will surely keep you all posted!

PS if you were reading my blog last year I did a update each week on how much progress and growing we were making ... well this week the baby is the size of a grape and he/she's name is Welsh - you know Welsh's Grape Juice. It is going to be hard to come up with new names so forgive me if I am a BIG FAT DORK!

In other news we close on the new house Friday!
