the busiest week of my pregnancy - part 2

This week continues.....!

Saturday was the busiest day I've had.  I was going non stop from 8am - 11 pm.  I'm gonna need to rest up this week :)

At the beginning of the morning, I had lunch with Kim and Megan at Crescent Moon Coffee Bar.  We try to meet for breakfast there twice a month for their quesadilla bar and omelette bar.  It was supposed to be the weekend for the quesadilla bar but the chef had gotten the date wrong so we didn't get any quesadillas :( I was pretty bummed but I had a great muffin instead and it was still yummy.  Plus the company was great!

After that, it was time for Darcy 1st Birthday Party! Most of the whole family was there and it was a very cute 1st birthday.  Carlee did a great job with the decorations! It was fun to watch Darcy open gifts and interact with everyone.  She's such a sweet little girl!

 

 



Now moving onto the afternoon! I was able to get last minute tickets to see Flashdance at the Hobby Center for me and my mom for Saturday at 2pm.  That was one of her favorite movies when she was in high school so I knew she'd love it! We always love going to the Hobby Center downtown because we get free valet parking! Lexus is the big sponser of the Hobby Center so if you own one, you don't have to pay for valet....score! I definitely wasn't going to be parking and walking a long ways ;)  The show was fun and we had pretty good seats at the top right in the center. 

I got home from the show around 5:30. I changed clothes and Jeromy and I immediately left to go hang out with his parents for an early Father's Day.  We went out to Katy Mills Mall, ate Fuddruckers, and walked around the mall.  Vicki and I hit up a lot of baby clothing stores and got some cute stuff for Jonathan!! I don't know if he'll be here for July 4th but I've certainly got to be prepared for it! I got these cute items for him just in cases!

We got home from the mall around 10 pm and I was wiped out!! But I still stayed up to do some laundry for Jeromy because he is traveling this week.  My sleep has changed this week and its getting much harder to get comfy at night so no point in going right to bed.

WHEW! Well there we are....Saturday to Saturday! What a busy week and now this week I think I will tone it down a bit :)  I don't know if anyone will care to read this but I certainly want to remember this time! 

the busiest week of my pregnancy - part 1

This week has been my first week off from work and I have been busy ever since! I've only got so much time to get everything in before Jonathan's arrival so I've been doing something every day!  Thursday of last week was my last day of work and the business started on Friday. I went to get my hair cut one last time before baby...crazy to think next time I go (whenever that may be!) I will be bringing Jonathan with me!

Friday night was my cousin, Taylor's high school graduation in Angleton so my parents and Nana and I made the trip down there.  Hard to believe she's a high school graduate! She was born when I was 10 and now here we are!

 

 

Saturday morning, Jeromy and I went to Byron and Carlee's house to hang out with our nieces and nephews.  Jeromy was such a sport, he's always so good at keeping the kids entertained.  They rode around in little motorized jeeps and tractors...it was really cute!  The bigger cousins played in the water sprinkler while Carlee, Michelle, and I got to sit and chat.  It was a fun time together!

 

 

 

 

 

Later that day, Jeromy and I went on a date out to the Woodlands.  We had our first date at the Cheesecake Factory and that's also where we went right before he proposed.  I really wanted some chocolate mousse cheesecake! We ate, walked around the mall area, and had a great time!  On our way home, we stopped at an antique car show and walked around together.  We are SO enjoying these last few weeks as a family of two!

 

 





Monday, I got up at 7am with Jeromy and stayed up til 8, but then decided I wanted to go back to sleep while I could! I slept til 10:30! I never do that and haven't done it again but it was nice to rest after a busy weekend.  I cleaned most of the day at the house and that felt good.  Shout out to my wonderful daddy who came over to help me move all the furniture, there was no way I could do it!

Tuesday, I had plans to meet up with my friend Erica and her mom, Loretta and Erica's son, Evan.  Erica and I met in a speech class during a summer session at Tomball College.  Pretty crazy we have kept up all these years!  It was also easy to keep up because I worked at Hancock with her mom Loretta so I was able to keep up through her.  She works out near Memorial City Mall so I made the trip over there but it was worth it because I got some shopping done!  We had lunch at Pappy's Cafe (which is like Goodson's in Tomball) and had fun catching up!  They gave me some wonderful gifts for Jonathan including monogrammed burp cloths...I love them!  After lunch, I realized I was close to Ikea and I needed to go there so I made a "quick" trip.  I got out an hour later! It takes so long to get through that store!!

 

 

That's just the first part of the week....I've been adding more to the blog each day and the second half of the week has been even busier! This is a long post so stick with me.... :)

Wednesday, I met with my friend, Sydne, who I used to work with at Hancock.  We met at Tea for Two tea room and it was so good! I got quiche (of course) and salad and then we split the most amazing piece of cake. It was so nice to catch up with her and she got me a precious blanket for Jonathan! I also went shopping a lot that day...Carter's, Babies R Us, and Target.  Had lots to return and new things to pick up as we are getting closer to the date!

Thursday, I picked up my niece, Melissa and we had an Aunt Tristan/Melissa date! She is much like me and likes to be girly and asked me to take her to get her nails done.  Of course! I needed a pedicure too so it worked out! We got our nails done, ate McDonald's at my house and watched My Little Pony and Scooby Doo on Netflix. It was a lot of fun!

That evening, I went to game night with the girls in my Sunday School class and it was the most fun I've had in a long time! We laughed so hard and so much my belly was sore the next day! It was a riot!!

Friday, I hung out with Carlee and the kids.  We went to the Tomball Library.  It was fun watching William and Darcy in the children's section.  After that, I helped Carlee make cake pops for Darcy's first birthday party. 

Friday night, we went out the Cypress Campus for building tours and dinner on the new land.  It was a great night of worship and fellowship! May many families in Cypress come to know the Lord because we did all we could do!

 

 



Saturday needs a blog post of its own...lol! I cannot believe how much I crammed into this week! Stay tuned for part 2!

End of October

I love the whole idea of blogging but then always forget to actually blog, ha! I love reading blogs and getting cute ideas from them and catching up on people.  The last time I blogged was over two months ago, oops! I love to blog with pictures and I take a lot with my phone. I am going to start doing an iPhone rewind...I saw it here on Katy Link's blog and it's a really cute idea on how to remember everything that went on each month by looking at the pictures from your phone.  I guess I'll go all the way back to the end of October where I left off and start there. This will be a short post because I already got most of October previously.

The end of October was a busy weekend! We celebrated the birth of our second niece on October 28 at 8:09pm. The whole family gathered to see. I've never gone to a hospital to see a baby born! Here is Madelyn Grace Horton shortly after birth.

Byron, Carlee, and Will were in town that weekend so we could celebrate Byron's birthday. The next day we celebrated with him, Happy Birthday Byron! Hope you enjoy that iTunes gift card!! We ate at Freebirds and had cookie cake (of course!)

Onto the next month!
