Hair be gone!

It is about time.... My parents cat has a ton of long hair, I mean a ton, they didnt want to pay to get it shaved again so they bought a shaving kit. Both Craig and my dad took turns chipping away at all the layers of hair, it was so fun to watch.

The start

The hair coming off
"It's a girl" craig had to make sure he wasnt going to be taking anything off when he started trimming. (the cat was not hurt during this attempt).

look at how much weight she lost.

The end result, a bucket full of hair.

Am I really 25!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Am I really 25 years old? How did I get to be this old? I still think I am 21 I have started to forget how old I am getting... not fun!

I was having kind of a downer day because I had to work on my birthday, it was during the week, and I just didnt feel very special you know. So Craig being the wonderful man that he is gave me the best birthday ever. For weeks I have been telling Craig that I want to take a nice long bubble bath (seeing as how being pregnant you cant get into hot tubs), and that I wanted to get away from where we live for a night. I didnt think that he was listening to me, but he continues to surprise me.

After I got home for work Craig told me to get ready and that we were going out, he told me to wear socks (meaning we were going bowling in mesquite). I thought that we would go to Mesquite bowl and eat then come home... but I was wrong. We got down to mesquite and went into the Casablanca (where I thought we were eating) he got in line to check into our room and totally surprised me (seeing as how I was just talking about staying the night just before we got into the hotel). He had a room already booked and ready for us. We then went to the best place to eat while being pregnant, thats right the buffet, it was so good I ate like 10 egg rolls and all the nachos and ice cream I wanted...it was so good. Then I got my bubble bath and nice relaxing jazz music I was in heaven. After I got an amazing night sleep we went home, it was such a nice night I am so greatful to be married to my best friend who continues to surprise and amaze me I love him.

The flowers I got on my birthday from my Honey, they are so beautiful.

My sister gave me her baby boy clothes to borrow yay so cute!

After we got back from Mesquite Craig and I worked on our mothers day gift and my bench project.

Remember my $3 bench I got at a yard sale? this is what it looked like before.

This is what it looks like now, we still have a ways to go but we are getting closer!

For Mothers day we went over to Craig's moms house on Monday for a nice dinner, it was great to have everyone together. I attempted to make a fruit flower bouquet, since mom is on the HGC diet this would be so much fun for her to eat, and I cant believe it turned out so good.

For my mom we made a picture frame that can house all of her picture she had on her corkboard, all she has to do is slide the pictures into there place and it looks so cute, plus we added part of her corkboard to post some of her letters from grandkids.

Baby Boy!!

After much waiting and stress we finally found out what our little baby was going to be, and we are so excited to announce we are having a little baby boy. I am so excited!!

We decided on names early, we (and when I mean we, I mean craig) wanted our kid to have a power name, something that had meaning behind it. We finally came to love the name James Floyd Demke. James, for craig's grandpa, and Floyd, for my dad's dad who died before I was born.
These are some pics of our ultrasound showing us that he is a boy and his little feet and face, so cute.

This is a better picture (well I know you cant see it very well) of his cute little face, I cant wait to meet him.

This is me at my sister Haileys graduation, 6 months pregnant. Sometimes I feel bigger than I am.

Craig doesnt get too excited over things till he can see it, so right now this is hard for him, not being able to see baby James and all. But there have been two really special moments when craig has been excited... 1) was when we had the ultrasound and saw that we were having a boy, he was so excited he was grinning from ear to ear. 2) was when he actually saw baby Jameskick my stomach, we both just stood there in awe saying wow that was cool.

Being pregnant is not what I thought it would be... I cant run, breath, walk with out feet hurting, paint my toenails, bend over, or control my moods, but even with all the limitations I am so excited to meet this special little boy.
