Christmas Cards? What Are Those?

I've always been good about getting our family Christmas cards made, but this year, with everything that's been going on, it has slipped my mind. I decided, last minute(about ten minutes ago to be exact) to try and take some pictures of the girls in front of the tree. They were dressed fairly cute today so I gave it a shot.

CRCis in a really weird, goofy face stage right now. All of her smiles look cheeky. She also looks like she is missing teeth, but I assure you, she isn't. It's that darn paci causing havoc in her mouth. Alas, a few turned out pretty cute.

 CDC, as always, is ever so photogenic. :) Even though she was in a funky, grumpy mood!

 I like this one because she was really laughing!

 This is the best I could do of little CRC. Poor boo bear. She just doesn't care about being clean or neat and tidy like CDC does. lol. Gotta love her though ;)

I think they are possible Christmas card contenders. Just need to try to get one of the both of them together.

It's a...

BABY! {lol!} 

Apparently I wasn't scheduled for an ultrasound today. The doctor could see the disappointment on my face when she told me I wouldn't be finding out the sex of the baby, so she wheeled in the old school ultrasound machine. We got a great look at the booty and legs and did NOT see 3 white lines. She said she couldn't be positive, but she was pretty sure it was a BOY!! I thought so too because I clearly saw 3 white lines with both of my girls. She said "I'm saying BOY and i'm pretty positive they'll tell you the same thing at your 20 week ultrasound."

I was in shock!!! Nearly fell off the table after it sunk in. A boy?? Me? No... I have been thinking all along that this baby would be a boy, but I guess I never totally prepared myself for it.

I don't think i'm going to run out and buy everything in blue just yet. I will wait until Jan when I get my anatomy u/s. I'm not sure if I haven't gotten over the shock or what, but I just can't get overly excited just yet. I don't know the first thing about boys!! I'm sooo girly and have all girly things. I'm sure it'll hit me in the next few hours. Especially when I start shopping!! :)

Edited to add..I forgot to mention HIS name {smile..told you i'd get excited!} ..drumroll please...

17 Weeks Pregnant Baby #3!

17wks!

Not the best Belly Pic with the cropped, 1/4 length sleeved shirt. But I am 17 weeks as of today, so I had to take a pic.. I'll do better next week. I don't have much of a "baby belly", but it is much bigger to me.

Creme Brulee Latte aka My Best Friend!

I will be the first to admit, I am a coffee adict. Normally, I make my own coffee.I'm not high maintenance, you know. {wink} No sugar, no cream, just black, rich coffee. I like that strong taste of the coffee bean. I dont want to fluff it with sweets or dairy. No, not me.

Until, this week. My boss bought us all gift cards to Starbucks. At first, I thought.. "Ok, i'll use it for my regular, black coffee" But when I pulled up I noticed the Creme Brulee Latte. Just the name caught my eye. I decided to venture out and ask about it. The lady at the window told me "It's one of our Holiday specials. A rich, buttery flavor, whipped cream, with caramel candy on top. Hmm... maybe I could try that. {I guess I had a bit of a sweet tooth that day.} I did, though, tell her to please make mine Decaf with Soy and skip the whip. She told me "not a problem" I paid and headed out to try my new treat.

That first sip was glorious! I thought "How could I possibly have gone this long and never tasted this wonderfulness?" I've been every morning since then. And I will continue to go.....until my giftcard runs out because yes, I am that cheap. They are proud of their coffee!! But I will indulge and enjoy until the goodness runs out.

Sweet Treats

The weekend before last was one of the best i've had in a looong time. We ventured out of the state of Arkansas and went to the fun city of Branson, Missouri!! I always have so much fun when I get to visit Branson. This time was no exception.

We only stayed for the day because it was a spur of the moment trip. We went shopping{!!}, got ice cream, watched fudge being made, and looked at all of the Christmas lights around the city.

The girls had a great time! Their favorite part was the Disney store and of course, ice cream! Yum!

 It was FREEZing outside. There were no tables in the fudgery. Boo!

 

 I love this picture!! Her one little eye looking at me gives it so much character. :)

 My blue eyed baby. She loved every last bite of her "pink ice cream"

 And just for fun, silly ice cream covered face! {CHEESE!!}
