14 weeks left..... REALLY?

As I look at Clayton's baby book and calendar, I contemplate life and how fast this pregnancy has gone. I have been logging EVERYTHING and taking pictures for his scrapbook and baby book and I now look at all of it as I put it together and cannot WAIT until he his here. We, of course, need the time that is left to get the nursery complete along with making the final transitions in our home so that our family can welcome him in and bond together.

I have completed the most of the dreadful tests of this pregnancy- Yes, I did the glucose test and passed; however, was sick for three days after. I do not think that the test is humane....hehehe.....I did not like the orange flavor with my first two pregnancies and was certain that I was not going to like the fruit punch one either. I had multiple nurses trying to convince me that the new flavor has not "upset" as many women- YEAH RIGHT!!!! The flavor was worse.
I now have my 4D ultrasound at my next appointment!!! :) I can NOT wait! I am already having talks with my lil man telling him ahead of time about coooperation and the importance of needing to see his precious face.

Holidays.... Exhausting and memory-building!!

So the  Thanksgiving meal was phenomenal!!! Thank you mom and Tom! It was wonderful to see my sister and my nephew... and the best grandpa ever!!! I only hope to have have such an outlook on life and the tremendous amount of energy at 82 years old. :)

My grandpa was playing with three of his great-grandchildren like he was seven again.... AND, was up until 11:30 at night. It was such an amazing event to watch. Liam (my nephew) was loving Ally! He climbed up on her lap and she read to him... the girls built little towers for him and he would knock them down... he would make himself laugh with the cat food---LOL! It was so adorable.

I have many pictures that will show you what I am talking about in this entry.... Clayton is growing! I know by the looks of my belly! :)  He is moving and the movements are stronger by the day. I am extremely excited and anxious to meet him... this pregnancy is FLYING by. My next appointment is on Tuesday at 12:30pm- it is the dreaded glucose test. I am preparing to be nauseous for a week or so....:(


Auntie, Liam, Ally, & Madisyn catching up

Ally testing out her new bed!

Ally built Liam his tower and he is so exited to knock it over!! He can hardly contain himself.

Liam Anthony Brandon~ 16 months and so very handsome!!
Auntie misses you bubbas! xoxo

Great-grandpa and the girlie's....

The girls' have officially been moved into "their" bedroom now on their new bunk bed now- I have a ton of throwing away and donating useless toys in attempt of combining both of their possessions into one room. This may take all of my time from now until Clayton is here but it must be done! :)

                                                       I LOVE this picture!!! Priceless moment! Liam would crawl  up to Ally and just stare in her face! So sweet!
