Ideas and Other Things

This past week has been very eventful.

Saturday was great! My best friend since 2nd grade came and spent a lazy afternoon watching movies with me. We decided we wanted some icecream, so we drove to the nearest Dairy Queen. First I ordered my three blizzards for me, my hubby man, and father-in-law. After Sarah ordered her brownie earthquake, that is when the real fun started.

This poor kid had the hardest time ever with this thing! first he dropped it, then ran out of whipped cream, and ended up with hot fudge all over his hand. While this poor boy struggled to make her dessert, the drive-thru lady dropped her large dipped cone in the chocolate dip!
Long story short, we left DQ with three blizzards, one large brownie earth quake, and a large chocolate covered sundae! (can you say 'score'?)

Sunday was a fish fry at my mom's. (And I was doing so good at my diet this past week....oh well...) I had such a great time with family I hadn't seen in awhile. Next weekend we are going to be just as busy! I feel like I never stop some times! Baby shower on Saturday, then bringing my super adorable niece to the Zoo on Sunday! I can't wait!

As far as ideas go, I have so many I can't wait to do for baby bink (or binks) :

As far as 'announcing' my pregnancy, those are all to remain surprises until they are prepared and preformed :) (it's going to be hard enough surprising as it is. Everyone already knows we will be trying, so I'm sure if I even hint towards exciting/big news, it wont be hard to guess.) This is where my acting skills will have to come into play.

The pregnancy itself, I really want to do a photo time laps! I think it is such a fun way to show how much you change in just a short nine months. I would also love to change this into first+ years of the baby's life, I want to Cherish every moment of baby bink as he, or she grows. It would be really neat to play the film at your kids wedding also. :)

Gender reveal party, I have tossed ideas back and forth. I love the balloon idea, I think it makes such a beautiful picture. It also captures a great moment in time, but I am all about originality... I'm sure I can come up with something great!

Names, Hubby man and I have put a lot of thought into these over the last four years, and have the perfect ones picked out! They also are to remain secret for now. I will share the middle names though. We have picked out four names, two for boys and two for girls. (we only plan on two kids, but what if I have twin girls and have to come up with two girl names fast??)

• The first boy will be named after Chris: N. Neal.
• The second boy will be after my brother <3: J. Curtis.
• Our first girl will be after my mother: J. Kay.
• Then our second girl will be after Chris' Sister: H. Nicole

SO much thought goes into these names. I knew I wanted to stay with family, but I had to come up with first names I liked also. Chris and I made a long list of names we both liked, then a list of possible middle names. I wanted it to turn out where one child was after him and one after me regardless. (of two boys, one of each, or two girls.)

Baby shower activities, I have wanted to have onesie decorating forever! I am actually going to start buying my onesies and supplies very soon so I can have enough. The idea of having hand made onsies from all my family and friends is such a fun idea! Of course, there will be a prize for the best outfit. :)

As you can see, it's on my mind a lot! the time is almost here! I am practically counting down the days!
