A good night sleep

Since we aren't buying a king size bed right now this was Weston's next best solution. I seriously walked in our room today to find this. Two queen size beds placed side by side. Weston is very excited about this. He says a queen size bed is just too small for him to get a good night sleep and since I have an ever growing belly these days we will both get a better night sleep this way. He can't wait to go to bed tonight in his very own bed with me sleeping next to him in my very own bed. I still can't decide whether I should be mad that he kicked me out of my bed or just laugh at him. I think I will laugh.Dear Sally,
Since you ever so kindly asked to see a pregnant picture of myself, here ya go. And yes if you remember from minnesota I had you take a picture of my belly in this exact same outfit. I had to replicate it for you. 5 months pregnant and bigger this time around. I guess it's good. We wouldn't a tiny boy.
Love, Karen

22 weeks

I've been asked a lot lately how I've been feeling with the pregnancy so I thought I would talk a little about that. I'm 22 weeks tommorow and starting to feel pregnant. If I eat too much I feel 9 months pregnant. So I'm down to eating little meals a lot. The little guy is getting stronger and kicking a lot. I first felt the baby move at 16 weeks but I can tell he is getting less room in there. Haylee loves putting her hands on my belly. She talks about the "little boy" a lot. I think she is going to be in for a big surprise when we bring the "little boy" home and he never leaves. She is quite the little princess around here. I am a total back and stomach sleeper both of which don't work anymore. When I wake up on my back I feel achy so it's down to sleeping on my sides which I don't like. I toss and turn all night. Weston said our next purchase is a king size bed. Sounds great to me. Other than that I feel pretty good. Migraines are gone and I don't need naps during the day anymore. Yay! We are just getting excited to meet the little guy. Sorry no pics with this post. Pictures of me are boring.

Private

I flip flop back and forth all the time but this time I think I will stay private, so...... if you want to keep up with our very exciting life then you know what to do. Leave your e-mail in a comment. I think I have most everybody's e-mail who reads our blog but just in case, leave it again if you want.

To get through the day I need to write down things that I am grateful for: A very hardworking husband, even though he is so far away. All what I need from him today is hug. I'll have to wait for that. I'm grateful for a cute little two year old who tells me everything is okay. I'm grateful for a little guy growing inside me who kicks me every once in awhile. I'm happy that I can say prayers. I'm grateful for all the pink trees blossoming around me. I'm grateful for good songs to listen to while I clean the house. I'm grateful for toast and hot chocolate, the best meal ever. Life is hard and confusing so I'm grateful for days that aren't hard. They are delightful!

The big day

I can't even believe how excited I am. I didn't think I would be this way. I've run it through my head over and over how I would feel if the announcment went this way and I honestly didn't know how I would feel. But I'm so happy to say I could not be more excited. I have been on cloud 13 all day!!!!!! I'm so so so excited because we are having a little boy and I can't wait to get my hands on him and cuddle him all day long. Most ultrasounds pictures are a little creepy looking but I have just been staring at mine all day long because of how cute he is. He looks perfect and so adorable. Oh my goodness we are so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
