One Lucky Girl

I officially went back to work a week ago after maternity leave and has it been a whirlwind.  This last week was not the best one to go back to work.  Eric was working a funny schedule which left him gone every night and sleeping most evenings.  I was in charge of mutual on Wednesday, and my work had a car show on Thursday.  Needless to say I'm still feeling a little tired after that one. 

I've decided I need to quit starting more projects until I finish the ones I have started so here's my blogger motivation.  My goals I to pick one room a week and finish decorating and cleaning it.  This week I've decided to work on Blakes room.  Mostly because it's the closest to being finished and I figure a victory will be good for the first week.  I have it mostly decorated, I need to:

-Hang Curtains
-Get blinds
-Figure out what I want to do with the light
-Vacuum, Sweep, and Dust
-Fold all the clean cloths in the babys crib

(We have designated the baby crib as the clean laundry place because it's the only place that does not have dog hair on it on a regular basis) 

After I get this accomplished I will be posting pictures of the finished product.  I am getting so excited to get this going!  
To finish it off here's a Blake picture:
(This is Eric teaching Blake how to pet Rosco)

I'm not exactly sure that is the way the stork thing works, but oh well.  I've been pretty MIA from blogging for quite sometime now, and I thought it was because I didn't have much to say, but I think I didn't realize how bad I felt until I got this kid out of me. 

Blake was born 6/7/2013 which I think is super cool because it's a math equation just like my birthday.  If anyone can figure out how to make 12/6/85 into an equation let me know so Eric can join the club.  Anyways I had a great experience with the Salem Hospital and completely recommend it for birthing a child.  I also very much recommend an epidural, those things are amazing!!!  Anyways what you all really want to be looking at is pictures of him so here they go:

So I have decided it's a great thing that I work all day and stay busy most nights.  My inner urge to bake awesome extravagent meals is hinder by being to tired by the time I get home.  This has helped with weight gain during pregnancy.  It also helps that most of the time what I crave is vegetables and chicken.  I've been on a brussell sprout and potato kick lately.  Here are the pictures that I love:

Because I've been so tired lately I found it hard to get up for swimming in the mornings.  So I had to think of a reward so I've decided that I have to go swimming everyday in order to earn "donut and Sobe Fridays".  This last week it worked so hopefully it will continue to do so.  

I got to go shopping last weekend for the banquet that is coming up for my work.  My mom got this really cute dress and shoes and is going to look great!  I got a shirt and am going to wear a black skirt with it.  I need to go shopping for some new shoes so I look great!

Today I'm getting some home stuff done since this week has been crazy we've been having some car issues which has really thrown off my game. 

I feel like I'm always having to update mostly because I fail to make time to blog, but I do think oh that would make a great blog topic I just never do it.

Christmas went great Eric got me a kindle fire. I love it!  We had the oppertunity to go out and play paintball with Lacy and Mike which was so much fun, we just have to find a place that is a little less shrubby. 

We started school again and it has been very easy so far I have a Saturday class starting February 16th though so no sleeping in for me for five weeks.  That seems like an eternity.  Not that I sleep that late, but it's nice not to have to be anywhere. 

We celebrated New Years with the family, which was fun it was very quiet because the Robinsons weren't down, but we played games and had way to much food!

Eric and I also found out I am pregnant.  (yes it is his child)  Well we've actually known for quite a while now we just announced it:

This is a picture of the picture we handed out so sorry if the quality is terrible.  (on the right are little baby shocks)

We also already found out the sex.  We had a what's it going to be barbeque at my parents house, and announced it with these little cupcakes.  I confused people with the pink lemonade cupcakes, but look at the filling (drumroll please):




It's a boy!
We are very excited that it's a boy.  Eric is ecstatic that it is a boy.
