We have had a fabulous weekend and start to the week. Austin has been off for 4 days which was so nice after he was gone all week! Saturday we planned mainly to stay around the house. I offered to keep Max, Colby's little school friend, so that his mom could do some shopping Saturday morning. It worked out well b/c we had planned to stay home but it would give colby something to do. He and Colby had a lot of fun. They ate a donut breakfast together and played cars and rode bikes outside. I enjoyed watching them play together. We even took a walk around the neighborhood. I have enjoyed seeing Colby develop this friendship and I am enjoying getting to know his mom even though we kinda grew up together. Since they live close by too I feel like we can hang out with them pretty often. After Max left Austin took Colby on some "man errands". Colby loves to go to Lowe's with his daddy. I was just fine staying at home although Colby told me that I was not riding with them I was staying at home. If only he knew I preferred that! I guess Lindsay and I will have to do "girl errands" when she comes and leave the 2 boys at home! It was nice having a low key day around the house. We grilled steaks that night and just enjoyed time as a family. The weather has been great too so we enjoyed lots of outdoor time!
Sunday was church day...Colby didn't seem quite himself that morning. He was still good but my mom told me during extended care he was very quiet I think his teachers were also worried about him and he still had a pretty bad cough. I think it turned out though he had to go potty he hates going to the potty in public but will pee but I think he had to poop and he was definitely not going to do that there! Poor baby I hate that he was probably uncomfortable. We came home and watched the Saints and relaxed then once again got outside and enjoyed the weather! I am loving this fall weather we are getting right now. Colby likes it too he has gotton to spend a lot more time outdoors then we did all summer !
Monday I know this isn't part of the weekend but since Austin was off Monday and Tuesday it felt like it to us! Colby had school ofcourse. We went to the hospital to preregister after dropping him off. I was glad to get that behind us! I can't believe the time is sneaking up on us though! We are at 9-10 weeks now! The paperwork was really easy and only took like 5 min so we decided to go up and get a tour of the mother/baby unit. Even though we have already had one child there it was 3 years ago plus they were in the middle of renovating when Colby was born. It brought back lots of memories but also seemed so different at the same time. I can't believe in 2 months we will be there getting to meet our baby girl for the first time though! After the hospital austin and I came home to work in her room. I feel like we still have a ways to go. I feel like we are running behind this time. It seemed so easy to fix up Colby's room but now we have more stuff to find places for plus we are so busy with Colby's schedule its hard to find time to work in there. We cleaned most of her room out now we will just have to set the crib up which we hope to do in the next week or so. After we picked Colby up from school we thought it would be a fun treat to go to the mall and eat Chickfila and let Colby walk around some. We try to go out to eat when we pick him up just as a treat when Austin is off. He loves going to the mall. We enjoyed our lunch then brought him down to ride all the rides and we got cookies for an afternoon snack! That afternoon we just stayed home and then ate red beans and rice. We all enjoyed some outside time too!
Tuesday I had Bible Study and Colby was going to my parent's house for the day. This was all planned before I knew austin had the day off. I thought about skipping and leaving Colby at home but my parents were already excited about him coming over and I really wanted to make it to the Bible Study. Plus I know Austin probably enjoyed a couple hours to himself. Its rare that he gets much time around the house alone. After Bible Study I brought home lunches from a fundraiser at the church so Austin and I sat out on our patio and ate them. It was nice to have some couple time. We then rested and that afternoon went to the 4D ultrasound of Lindsay! We didn't do this with Colby. The reason for not doing it with Colby and doing it this time is b/c this time you can have it done in the doc's office--I didn't want to go to a special place to do it. It was very cool though you could see so much more then you can in a regular ultrasound. We think she is going to look like Colby but also some of her pictures I thought looked like me. She was very stubborn at first and didn't want to show her face. She was sound asleep! After a lot of prodding and poking they woke her up but then I think she was just mad! Anyway I am glad we made the choice to do it! Its a nice keepsake to always have of her! After the apt we went to pick up Colby. We stopped at Chili's to eat on the way home. Colby was very well behaved better then usual in there. Its always fun to eat out as a family but also seems like a lot of work too with a squirmy 3 year old! WE came home and then got baths and ready for bed. I really enjoyed the last 4 days having Austin at home. We got spoiled. It will be hard to see him go back to work but then again its always nice to get back to a real routine. I feel like last week was so crazy with him being out of town and then 4 days of fun...Colby and I have a pretty busy end to the week though so it should go by pretty fast!

Week without Dad and Trip to the Doc
So we survived our first week without daddy. Austin has been gone a night or 2 here and there since Colby was born but never for an entire week. I worried a little about how we would do but I figured we could stay busy enough to make the week go by and we did! I am actually surprised now looking back how fast the week did go. But we did miss him a WHOLE lot and are so ready to see him tonight. Here's a look at how we kept busy this week!
Monday- Colby had school that morning and I had a doctor's appointment. Both helped to make that morning/day go by. That afternoon we went over to my parent's house for dinner. We figured getting out the house at night would also help our week go by quicker. My mom cooked spaghetti for us and we enjoyed visiting and hanging out with them!
Tuesday- We went over to the church this day to work in the nursery. My mom and I had a few "housekeeping" things to do and plus Colby always enjoys playing in there. We worked for a couple hours then had lunch at McAlister's. We didn't get home until about 2 which really made our day fly by. We were going to have a dinner date that night with friends but with our long, busy morning and Colby having a cough we decided to take it easy that night and just eat leftovers.
Wednesday- Colby had school again. While he was in school I did the grocery shopping. That afternoon we rested and I tried to clean up the house. That evening we were going to spend the night with my parents. The original plan was to also go to church but once again with Colby's cough not getting any better we decided not to go. Instead we went to eat at Applebees then went back to my parent's house. We enjoyed getting out and having something to break up our week but neither of us slept well. It was fun though being back at my parent's house. We haven't slept over there like that since colby was about 8 months old. I know my parents enjoyed having us around for a night too!
Thursday- We went to eat breakfast with my parents and brother that morning at Parrot Pete's. We do this on occassion. Its really yummy and nice to visit over breakfast. It works out better then dinner b/c everyone is fresh and not tired at the end of the day! Plus Colby loves his pancake breakfasts! Afterwards we went with my parents to Target. Afterwards we were pretty anxious to get home and relax. Colby was still coughing so we decided not to do anything that evening. I ordered pizza though for Colby and I and we just had a stay in day. We did get to play outside.
Friday- Colby was supossed to have school but we found out late Thursday afternoon that school was cancelled due to water being shut off. I was dissapointed b/c I was really looking forward to the break that morning. I also was a little relieved b/c with Colby still being sick and thinking he should go to the doc I was glad he wouldn't be missing school and he would have an extra day to recover. So that morning we went to the doctor. We had to wait about 30 minutes but then once we got back to the room the doctor came in immediately. The doctor checked him out and said he had bronchitis. He said his ears and throat were clear and he had no wheezing. He did give us a prescription for albuterol. This is second time having this...he had bronchiolitis at 6 months old. The doctor said most likely it was due to stuff in the air I think he might have had a slight cold or allergies and it just progressed to bronchitis. I hope he doesn't always get this..Austin and my brother are very prone to it. Luckily in 3 years he's only had it twice so I guess that's not too bad I have friends whose kids are sick all the time. I just wish he could get over the coughing. After the doc though I promised him a trip to the toystore. We usually only go to ToysRUs for his birthday and I like to avoid the place with all costs b/c I don't want Colby thinking he has to have every toy there is its wayy too tempting for me and him! Anyway we were going to go there a few weeks ago while we waited on Austin to get his truck serviced but when we tried to go in they were closed so Colby remembered that and knew next time we went to the doc we would go back. Luckily we made it out with only a small blue truck for him. He was very thrifty in what he picked out so I let him get it! We also bought some baby things like bottles and breastfeeding supplies since they have a big baby section as well! After shopping we dropped of Colby's prescription and headed home. It was so nice knowing Austin would be in that night. We napped and cleaned up the house a little! He got home right at dinner time and it was so nice to be together as a family that night. We missed him so much! Colby was soo happy to see him! Although I can say we did fine by ourselves...I am glad that we were able to have a good week on our own. A lot of my friends would have gone to stay with their parents the whole time but I believe in being independent and honestly it wasn't really that bad! Colby and I took care of each other I kinda enjoyed bonding with my little man! Probably the last time we will be together like that alone for a looong time!
Monday- Colby had school that morning and I had a doctor's appointment. Both helped to make that morning/day go by. That afternoon we went over to my parent's house for dinner.

Weeks 28 & 29
Wow so I can't believe I am down to about 10 weeks left! Crazy! I have hit the 3rd trimester. I still feel good most days I just don't have as much energy or can't be on my feet as long. It is nice though not having to be on my feet like I was with Colby at this point. I haven't really experienced much swelling and I think its b/c I can rest throughout the day. I try to work for awhile and take breaks that way I am not sitting or standing too much. It has helped so much though Colby going back to school. It gives him somewhere to go and burn off energy without me having to drag him all over creation trying to wear him out myself! We got the nursery painted now we are trying to organize and hopefully we will get the crib set up sometime this week.
My doctor appointment today everything went well. My blood pressure has been fine...I haven't seen the last 2 times how much weight I've gained but I must be ok b/c she hasn't said anything either. I don't think I have gained quite as much as I did with Colby. I am now going every 2 weeks. Its hard to believe I'm already at that point! We go next week for the 4D ultrasound which is exciting! We didn't get to do that with Colby so it will be fun getting to see Lindsay up close 1 more time and see some of her features!
We all can't wait for her arrival! I think Colby is so excited to have a little sister he talks about her all the time! I know he is going to take great care of her! We are so thankful for a healthy pregnancy so far! Oh and my diabetes test came back fine thank goodness so no worries there! I guess I am also not anemic this time around b/c they didn't recommend iron pills either like they did with Colby. So all in all we are doing good and I am so grateful for that!

Weekend
We had a pretty low key weekend which was really nice. Now that Colby is in school 3 days a week I don't mind staying in on Saturdays. This Saturday especially I thought we needed a stay at home day. We don't have them very often and I wouldn't want them often but it was nice to have a break in our schedule/routine. We didn't get to sleep late though Colby was up at 6:30. We had pancakes for breakfast (that has become our Saturday routine) since school started back. The movie Cars was on tv so I let him watch that. That is most definitely his favorite movie and really the only one he will sit through and watch! So he watched half of it while I cleaned the house then we took a break to go outside and ride bikes. It was nice playing outside with him. We don't do as much of that now since its been so hot plus we are usually so busy going places we don't have the time except when Austin is home. After playing outside for about an hour we came back in to cool off and watched the rest of the Cars movie. We just hung out then ate lunch and took naps.
Austin got in pretty early b/c USM came on tv at 2:30. he got in and we all 3 watched the game. Then he had to do yardwork so he and Colby were outside for a couple hours that evening.
Sunday Austin was off so we all went to church. I was in the nursery the entire time. Colby had just 2 kids in his class him and Broc. Austin and I worked in his class during extended care. It actually went really well although its getting tough as I am getting into the end of the pregnancy. I was thankful Austin was there to help us! There were 5 kids total. We had Colby, broc, and veronica who are all 3 and then there were 2 kindergartners in there b/c their moms also were working. We stayed outside mostly. I think the boys really liked having Austin out there. He pushed them in cars and pushed them high in the swings. Colby did really well. I was worried since we would both be in there that he would act out but he did just fine so I was proud of him. He didn't really play with the other kids much none of his buddies were really there. I finally had to go in early from the playground...it was getting hot and my feet hurt. So Austin and the other lady stayed with the kids and I went in to fix them cold water to drink. Once they got back in the classroom they all sat quietly and colored and listened to music I was really pleased at how well behaved they were!
We ate our usual lunch at McAlister's then headed home to watch the Saints game. We all took good naps though. Then we got up and did some work around the house and ate dinner. Austin did some more yardwork so he and Colby spent time outside. I am loving that he is a daddy's boy like that and will go outside and play while he works that gives me time to rest or get housework done! It helps out a ton! We had a really great weekend...almost sad to see it come to an end. Austin is leaving town Monday and won't get back until Friday evening. He has a business trip to Miami. We will miss him a ton! He hasn't been out of town in a long time especially not for that long. I know colby is really going to miss him. I hope he understands and does well all week. We have a pretty busy week coming up so I think that will help. It also is good that he's in school 3 days a week so I will get a break! Looking forward to what the week holds though! God is Good!

Our Week
We have had a pretty good week around here especially once Wednesday came and we had a day to ourselves! Colby went to school that morning and I went grocery shopping. I missed having my shopping buddy but it was also to nice to go alone. I had about an hour and a half when I got home to unload groceries and work around the house. Colby had another great day at school. He made a picture of "Things I do at School" ofcourse his was mostly cars and blocks which is truly what he plays with at school. I am so thankful he's already having another great year! We love Mrs. Lyn and he is making lots of friends and enjoying hanging out with his buddy Max from last year.
Thursday was our first day in what seemed like forever that we had a break from going somewhere. We had a leisurely morning around the house then went to the park. We went to Confetti Park again. This seems to be Colby's favorite b/c they always have trucks or riding toys. We were the only ones out there at first but another mom with 2 little girls came soon after. I was glad that someone else came b/c Colby is always happier when there are other children around. The oldest little girl was almost 3 and then she had a 1 year old. Colby loved playing with the girl his age. I think he was more into playing then she was. They ran around and rode cars together though! It was adorable to see him playing with another kid! We stayed out there about an hour. It was warmer then last time but still wasn't unbearably hot. I treated him again to Sonic on the way home. I love our mommy/son days and will miss them. I can't believe next year I will be sending him off to school 5 days a week! I really will miss these times! These 3 years have gone by WAY too fast! I know it also won't be the same with another one. I can't wait to have 2 but I will miss the 1 on 1 time that Colby and I have had.
Friday Colby had school again. We were once again going to bring Max to school and Colby was excited. Its so cute that he already has a good friendship with a little boy. They are very similiar in personalities. Both into cars/trucks, quiet and sweet boys, with blonde hair! Once again they both talked the whole way into school. Max's mom volunteered to pick Colby up since I brought him and she had a half day. I was a little sad but knew Colby would love it! I enjoyed the extra time but I also missed going and seeing him walk out of school. This was a big moment the first time ever riding with a friend without mom or dad...I honestly had no idea that would happen at 3. I expected more like 5? I guess my little man is going to be a social butterfly! I tried to make Colby understand that Mrs. Honey was going to be picking him up and not mommy. He said ok and didn't seem bothered in the least! I walked them both into school and they both ran to their classroom and started playing! I am so happy he loves school! I hope he stays this way for quite some time. I think its been so good for him. So while Colby was at school I made him blue cupcakes. Guess I was really missing him! I also got a lot done around the house. Well around 12:15 when I was expecting him home Honey called and said the boys both wanted to go play at her house. She asked if it was ok I said sure and I would come get him around 1:30! Again so cute that he's already arranging playdates with friends without mommy but also said...who said this happens at 3?!? I wasn't too worried about him I knew he was in good hands but ofcourse the mommy in me worried if he would go to the potty or eat lunch etc. When I went to get him at 1:30 both boys were eating popcorn watching a movie. Colby seemed really happy. He also seemed happy to see me and go home. I would have let him play longer but since he still takes naps and mommy needs a nap too I wanted to get him before it was too late to do that! I am so happy to have a friend and Colby to have a friend and that they live less then 5 min from our house! I look forward to lots of good times this year!

Happenings around Here
So it has been quite busy around our house lately. Last Thursday we started some home projects with a contractor we have used off and on since we moved in. He was going to paint Lindsay's room also along with fixing a few things around the house. He came Thursday morning. This always makes for a hectic time trying to get ready and get out the house all while someone is coming into your house to work. That day I had MOPS so Colby and I were trying to leave the house early. My parents were planning on keeping Colby any way that day which worked out well with my mops meeting and us having someone working in the house. He was excited about spending the day with them! I dropped him off around 9 and headed to my MOPS meeting. I am so glad to have that to go to. This is my 3rd year. I really wish I would have joined when Colby was a baby but I have enjoyed it so much. They plan great events and I have met lots of other stay at home moms which is nice. I missed the first meeting of this year so I was glad to get registered and get all that done too. This meeting they had several mother's sit in the front for a question/answer session. I didn't say or ask anything but it was nice to hear other mom's concerns and hear that you aren't the only one thinking things sometimes! Afterwards I came home. My parents were going to keep Colby until after his naptime. It was nice to not have him here with all the work taking place. I didn't get much rest though since there was work going on! That afternoon my parents dropped him off around 5.
Friday was a school day for Colby. I dropped him off then went and got my haircut. This was my second haircut while being pregnant with Lindsay and probably will be my last. I will be due to go back in December but I know I will wait until after she comes and hopefully before Christmas so I can get it highlited again! I miss my blonde! I have chosen both times not to highlite my hair I know everyone says its fine and it probably is but I think its best just not to take chances plus its not that big of a deal to me. I did get it cut pretty short though which I actually really like. Its so much cooler and easier to manage! After my haircut I still had time for Target. I did some more shopping for Lindsay and got a few other things. I love my shopping time alone! Colby is a good shopper but its still so nice to browse alone and take my time. I was able to come home and put my things away then head back out to get Colby. Ofcourse we still had work going on around our house so neither of us really got a good nap!
Saturday & Sunday we were in Hattiesburg see previous post!
Sunday when we got back in town we watched the Saints play. I fell asleep during the second half. I had woken up at 6am that morning and hadn't had a nap in 2 days so I was exausted. Austin had to go into work when the game ended. He wound up working until about 7. Again I was exausted that night. Poor Colby was very wound up too since he had spent most of the day pent up and didn't get to expel any energy!
Monday was another school day. I have now started taking a little boy from Colby's class to school some days and today was our first day. He lives in our neighborhood and is one of Colby's best friends. His name is Max. he and Colby are very similiar. Its so cute how they have hit it off the last 2 years. His mom and I actually grew up together which is funny too! They were very cute sitting in the backseat carrying on a 3 year old conversation. the only downside is it was pouring! That made it interesting getting them in the door to preschool! They both did well though! I was going to go grocery shopping but decided to come home with all the rain. I was kinda glad I got to come home and relax some. We still had work being done though so it wasn't completely restful. Today also started carpool for Colby which I wasn't exactly fond of. First they didn't even get the kids outside until almost 12:15. Then when they put Colby in the car they didn't buckle him. I had to pull over and almost climb in the backseat to get him buckled. It was kinda annoying! I would really rather just walk to his classroom. Before we were getting home at 12:15 now we didn't get home until 12:40 or so. I think some days I will still just walk in and get him. Our contractor finished up around 2:30 so I did get a small nap but I was still so exausted yesterday. And to top it off Austin didn't get in until 8 so I already felt like I had a long week!
Today-Tuesday Colby and I went to my parent's house. Our housecleaner came today so we needed to get out the house. Once again though we have work going on so I knew it wouldn't be a restful day. I woke up flustered and tired. I tried to make blueberry muffins and for some reason the batter didn't turn out right so I had to throw it away. I know I am in my last trimester and so I am going to get more and more tired. I feel bad b/c my patience is running low too and I don't have as much energy or patience to always play with Colby. I am still trying to make sure though he gets out the house and has fun as much as possible! Thankfully today he got to play with my parents so I was able to just kinda sit back and relax. they went swimming. I didn't get in today...usually I kinda get out of the mood of swimming after Labor Day anyway. The water was 82 degrees which we swim in but by now that would feel really cold. Colby had a blast though with them. Now that we are home he's down for his nap and I am hoping I can get a short one in before he wakes up! I am just praying I can keep my patience and get some rest. Its been a hectic busy week since last Monday. Austin was off 3 days which I love but they are very busy, then work being done then a trip then more work I have just had it! Looking forward to a day tomorrow where we can come home by ourselves!

Colby's 1st USM GAME!
This weekend we got to take Colby up to Hattiesburg for his very first USM game. Even though we have been going to games the last 4 seasons and bringing him to Hattiesburg he has always stayed with my mom and Austin's mom during the game. We were very anxious to bring him! We have talked about it each season but decided to hold off until he was 3.
I wish we could take him to them all this season but I don't think I will be going up to many since I am now in my last trimester of this pregnancy. So I knew this weekend was probably the best option to take him. Plus the game started at 6 which is better for bedtime anyway!
We left yesterday morning and got into Hattiesburg around 11. We stopped at Austin's parent's house to drop off Allie plus Colby was anxious to stop in and see them and play. He was really hoping to see the girls but they were off camping plus shelbi has had strep throat this week so I think they thought it best for them not to play together this time! Colby enjoyed playing then we went to lunch with his parents and mine. We were going to go to a new 50s cafe type place that just opened but the wait was over an hour! NO THANKS! So we went to Sweet Peppers. We all love that place anyway. Colby did really good. It was nice to visit with everyone also. After lunch we went back to the apartment to rest. We knew Colby would need a nap before the game.
We left for the game about 5 and ate when we first got there. My dad has club level seats so you get "free food" each week is something different. This week happened to be tacos and hotdogs. I think the hotdogs were mainly for the kids and people who don't like Mexican. I fixed Colby a hotdog and chips and he scarfed it down! I was really surprised at how well he ate. This has always been one reason for not taking him b/c we weren't sure what he would eat. But he really has just gotton into hotdogs recently. When we went to the seats I think Colby was fascinated with all the sights and sounds. He sat really well through the 1st quarter. By the end he started to get antsy and wanted to walk up and down the steps which I probably would have let him walk around more if it weren't for the people around us. I didn't want him to bother them. So my dad and Austin both took turns getting up with him. He came back in time to see a touchdown before halftime. We knew that me and him would probably only last until halftime so we had planned on our moms picking us up. It worked out really well. We got home right around 8. My mom and I let him play for a while then he took his bath. We got him in bed soon before Austin and my dad got home. They stayed for the whole game. We all stayed up and visited for a little while but I think everyone was tired so we weren't up late.
The next morning I got up around 6. I had a hard time sleeping...I don't always sleep well away from home but especially being 7 months pregnant I was soo hot. Colby woke up crying for one of his blankets at 6 so I knew I should go ahead and get up I had no idea he and Austin would stay in bed for almost 2 more hours! I should have slept longer. It was nice though I got to sit and visit with my parents. Austin's parents came over that morning for breakfast. My mom though it would be nice to cook for everyone. It was yummy...after eating we quickly packed up and hit the road. We might have hung around Hattiesburg longer that morning but the Saints game started at noon so I wanted to be home for that. We watched the Saints game and ate lunch and napped. Austin had to go into work for a few hours so colby and I hung around the house. It was a long day and I was so exausted by bedtime!
We had a great weekend though and loved experiencing Colby's first football game! I can't wait to take him to another! Not sure if we will bring him to another one this year or if we will wait!
