Enjoying our back yard








I am sitting in my Adirondack chair with my feet propped up on Tanner's picnic table while he plays on his swing set and in his sand box. Billy and I got him his sandbox yesterday and it is totally his new favorite thing. I can not wait to get him a clubhouse and some other things too. Billy and I have some BIG plans in the coming up weekends as we want to clean out our shed and our garage. I am excited to get some organizing done. Tanner will be moving into the room which is now the guest room/office and baby will move into the nursery. We will get Tanner a dresser and big boy bed as right now he still sleeps wonderfully in his crib. The nursery is so nice already so all baby will need is his or her own bedding but otherwise the room is all ready to go. The biggest problem is Billy(my D.J. husband) who loves spinning music will have to find a place to store his equipment for awhile. My hubby loves his music and he is an awesome D.J.  :) But if its a boy maybe bunk beds and sharing a room in the future after baby gets older. The bedroom is definitely big enough. We are also talking about doing some remodel. Who knows right now. It is all in the works. I went to see Dr. Marquette today and heard baby's heartbeat on the Doppler and was able to ask all my questions and I am back to working out, yoga, cleaning, and pretty much everything. This pregnancy has been great so far. A little scare on Easter but did not seem to worry the doctors at all. :) God is in control. I am so happy to be 10 weeks already. Officially a fetus now and no longer an embryo. I have been so enjoying my days with Tanner and find myself really wondering what life will be like with two. I mean even as we are siting outside my mind wonders will I be able to balance time between the two. I have things that I do daily with Tanner and I am wondering will I still be able to read with him every night? Will I still take him on the bike for bike rides? These past two weeks he is LOVING his safe start lessons and we both LOVE the pool. He swims to the wall and swims to me. After his lesson today we stayed at the pool for over an hour and would have stayed more except I had my doctor appointment. Excited to have some playdates on the calendar for the next few weeks. Even more excited to be able to hit the gym tomorrow and yoga this weekend. I am off to play with Tanner now. Yesterday at church we had a guest speaker. His testimony was so inspiring and his Faith so encouraging. The main thing I got out of his message about trials out of the book of James is not to sweat the small stuff. I am letting things roll off my back more this past year. I am trusting God. I am not taking on others  issues. I am learning a lot from all the women in my life and so so grateful that we are loved and cared for. We all will face trials. The Bible is very clear on that. But how will we respond to them. I am leaning on God and trusting hm. It is breezy today and I am thankful for that and Summer is almost here. Can not wait to take Tanner to the Lake, Beach, pool, and Disney water parks this summer. Looking forward to Billy's birthday this weekend and Tanner will have fun at his Meme and Grampy's house. He loves them dearly. We are truly going to enjoy our date night out. I am adding a photo of me at ten weeks!! :)
