Productive Saturday

Andy and I decided to get up when the rooster crowed this morning and head to the Downtown Farmer's Market.

I, of course, headed straight for the Iowa Orchard dutch crumb apple pie and pumpkin bread. Andy scored some mint and jalapenos. We couldn't leave without sampling the world famous breakfast burritos! Despite the wind, it was neat to see all the people and watch the cute dogs!

Here is a pic of Andy's new mint garden:
I'm ready for a nap!

15 weeks, 2 days...

And counting!

Lil P is the size of a large apple (or fist), whichever you deem bigger, since it looks like I'm already 9 months pregnant. Last night a mysterious feeling in my lower belly woke me up and had me wondering...could it be?! But alas, the baby books say it's still too early to feel the baby's movement. I think it was Lil P telling me he/she wanted some chocolate chip cookies. A child after my own heart...

So here's to only having 173 days to go- can I freak out yet?! I think I'll go make some cookies to calm my nerves. :)

Over the hill?!

Never! He's just getting started!

Today is my baby's 30th birthday!

Always the supporter, uplifter, level-headed, everyone's best buddy- he keeps me sane day in/day out. I'm so blessed to have such an amazing husband! And can't wait to see him be the best daddy I know he can be to Lil Peanut.

Have a great birthday honey, you deserve it! xo

Just in case...

Just in case we have a 'Harrison' instead of a 'Reagan', we're all set! A must-have for every baby boy's wardrobe!

Thanks Nettie! xo

Another year older but looking another year younger!

Today is my dear friend Adrian's birthday!

She is dear to me in so many ways- she understands the tried and true method of retail therapy, would give anyone the shirt off her back (that she found marked down from $100 to $5!), can always make me laugh and is the best and loving mom to Mary and Jules.

Enjoy your birthday,girl and I can't wait for our road trip in July! xo

Catching up with family~

This past weekend, Andy and I traveled to my hometown to catch up with family and share our baby news with my grandma on her 86th birthday! I presented her with a 'great-grandma' birthday card and signed it, 'love, Baby Wallace.' She got the message instantly! It was so sweet to see her reaction. I'm so thankful we could share our good news with her. It was also great to see our Aunt's, Uncle and Cousins- a good weekend to hang with family!

Of course, a baby gift from Grandma Kollenkark was in the works- a must-have Little tot Hawkeye 101 book (sorry Shannon!), a baby blanket that my mom started literally a week after our wedding (love that!), and some adorable Lil Peanut onsies that she had embroidered (I see an outfit for the trip home from the hospital!). Love it all! Thanks mom! Me and grams~ Love you grams!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
