Crazy Chaos For The Next 3 Months...

The next 3 month's in the College house are going to be completely crazy.
We just signed the contract on our new house...
We're putting our current house on the market by the end of this week (and hoping it sells super quick so we can get moved into the new house with plenty of time before the baby comes in October)...
Not to mention the usual...
Between now and October, there will be 7 birthday party's (but in my family, that's nothing out-of-the-ordinary), July 4th party, Labor Day party (yep, we do a lot of partying!), packing up the entire house, moving then unpacking the entire house into the new house, doctors appointments, Lilee's school starting in August (which means back to school shopping), then maybe just enough time to take a breath before getting ready for our baby boy, which will of course  include starting from scratch (and at the last minute) on the nursery.
Add to that being 6 months pregnant, tired, and going through some serious insomnia...it's enough to make me wanna get reeeeeally psychotic. But at the end of all this, we'll be in a new house with a LOT more room (hallelujah!), have a new baby boy, and will finally be able to slow down. Oh, wait a minute...I just realized that shortly after the baby is born...then comes November and December...which means Thanksgiving, CRAZY Christmas shopping, then Christmas and New Years! I might need to visit the loony-bin by then!

One more thing...
We've decided to name the baby... Braxton Elijah-Lee ...
Braxton - because my husband loved it as soon as my sis Aimee said it.
Elijah - after the most adorable crazy handsome little boy I know...Easton Jacob Elijah.
Lee - after my Papa. He's been my hero all of my life, and he always will be.

Sharing A Little Of Baby Charlee...

Mommy Two and Lilee got to babysit sweet Baby Charlee while her Mommy went to an appointment.  Just wanted to share her beautiful little face with everyone.  She's going on 3 months...smiling and cooing and stealing everyones heart.  And "Little Mama Lilee" is getting some serious babysitting practice...getting more and more excited about having a baby brother.  

Look at that beautiful face!

Lilee telling Baby Charlee...
"Awww, Baby Charlee, your soooo adorable!!"

I had to keep reminding her...

"Lilee, don't squeeze too tight!",

cause I thought she was going to squeeze her head off!

Charlee thinks Lilee Boo is funny

"Little Mama" wanted to do it all...
feed her, burp her...
I hardly got to hold her at all.

To All The Other Pregnant Women Out There...

     Is there any other pregnant women out there that are about 6 months along...and feel like they belong at Sea World?  Well....I can't help it.  I've always been amazed at women that can go their entire pregnancy feeling beautiful and loving their very pregnant bodies.  I, on the other hand, feel like Shamu.  Hey...I guess when we go to the beach in three weeks I'll fit right in with the other mama whales.  

     Now don't misunderstand me... I feel extremely blessed to have this baby, and would do what ever it took to get him here...healthy and happy.  I guess I'm just trying reeeeeally hard to find the humor in my ever expanding butt, rather than be depressed about it.  And the boobs...well, lets just say they've become the size of two individual planets.  Uuuuuugh!  And what's with the stuff that hangs over the back of my pants, that has replaced any sign of a waistline?  Not to mention, everything I put on is super tight and constricting...always on the verge of no longer fitting.  Oh...and fact that my legs will no longer comfortably stay together when sitting down due to my belly...well that's just the best part (eye roll).

     My very encouraging, wonderful husband says it's beautiful (ummm yea, ok...as I roll my eyes again).  He's been so sweet and supportive.  But, it's kind-of difficult to accept things like..."Awww, honey...that's just part of being pregnant.  I think it's beautiful."  from someone who has lost about 15 pounds and continues to get thinner and more fit, as I get more and more plump.

     Anyways...I just had to get that off my chest.  I feel better when I'm able to vent about things...rather than keep them all pent up.  Express NOT repress, right??  So now I think I'll go eat another chocolate cupcake. 

       

Uuuugh...is it October yet???

Definitely not the best pic, but my Lilee Boo took these next few, 

so I had to show off her photography skills.

She said she wanted a picture with her baby brother and 

had seen me set up the camera on my tripod.  I set the timer and showed her which button to push.

"Don't move Mom", then she tippy-toed over just in time.

Still...even with all the "chocolate covered chubby feelings"...I can not wait to meet this baby boy.

Best Daddy In The World...

...or at least WE think so!

Daddy with the two people that make him smile the most...

Excited to see his new baby boy...

and already in love for the third time.

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful wonderful wonderful husband!

A GIRL AND HER DRESS...

If your wondering how this 4 year old little girl plans on spending her summer...these pictures will give you a clue.  She's always looking for new comfy's (aka...pj's), a new bathing suit, or a new dress.  And once she gets something new...she wears it for days.  What is it about a little girl, and a long flowing dress?  The spinning and twirling and posing in front of the mirror...even after wearing the same dress for two days straight...it never gets old.  Now that she can wear a size 4, (which she's been anxiously awaiting for quite some time) the toddler section is quickly passed by, as she makes her way to the "big girl" section.  Because..."They have all the pretty dresses!"
