Before and After

Finally! I can post the finished results of the boat!!! Here are some before and afters:



And the afters:

I'm so proud of Kameron for all his hard work! He did so much and stayed consistent. Didn't give up with the going got tough. It's nice we live close to a lake (Lake Mary) so we were able to take it for spin.

Other stuff, I had a GREAT weekend with my mom!! Just what I needed. How is it that moms are so awesome? We went to some antique stores and talked and talked and we went to Real Deals and pretty much found the perfect piece of furniture for a changing table/storage/will be so fun to have when it's not a changing table! It's probably good the store is only open Thursdays and Saturdays or else I'd be there wayy to much and want to spend too much money. But we had a great time! Kameron had a good time out hunting, didn't get anything but he had a good time. He starts his new schedule this Saturday. It's going to be tough but Kam is a trooper.

We went through the hospital the other day to pre-register. Made it all so much more real! Jeter is defiantly growing! And so is the belly, we can't wait to meet the little guy!

On-Going Projects

So I went through this little craze of, marshmallows? I decided I wanted to try to make some. I messed up the first batch, but was determined to find a better recipe and try again, so batch number two turned out pretty good!

Now I just have a bag full of marshmallows sitting in my pantry! They tasted good and it was fun!

The Boat:
So because of all the rain Kameron has had to postpone working on it so it seems to be dragging on, but he does a lot of the work at our humble abode, which means our house smells of carpet glue and there is carpet everywhere. My one project I was given was to re-do a seat cover. At first I was like yeah sure I can do that (no sewing machine) so when Saturday rolled around I was like uh yikes! But it actually worked out really good (for a seamstress of my level)

I took the back off and a side piece, by the time I decided I needed to document this adventure I'd already sewn on the side piece. The left side is the new piece.

Kameron working endlessly on carpeting lids to compartments.

This is a funny picture, but I didn't know what else to do. Here is the new back piece and side piece all put back together!

So obviously the boat project is still ongoing but we hope to have it done by the end of the week!
It's been hard work (especially for Kameron-he is one dedicated guy!) and thanks to Cade (his bro) for helping with carpeting, but I know it will be so rewarding in the end.

So this super nice patient that comes in at the Chiropractic office, mentioned how she had some baby stuff she'd like to give us. Whoohoo! Some of it's super tiny and some is 3-6 months. Shoes, and little hats, So SO! cute. I made Kameron sit with me and go through it all (one big huggies sized box!) What a sweet husband, anyways, here are some little booties she gave us (how did she know Kameron really likes Michael Jordan?!)

I can't believe how nice family and friends have been. Giving us free stuff that would usually cost lost of money and just making all this seem possible (it's a little mind boggling sometimes)

So thanks to anyone and everyone who has helped and I know will help us. We are just surrounded by such giving people. Thank you!!!!!!

ps-Good News! My mom is coming to spend the weekend with me, and Kameron will be out hunting! The best of both worlds for the each of us!

Happenings...

So this post was so supposed to be full of the boat being re-carpeted, but as luck would have it, it rained ALL day Saturday. We woke up early and we could see the clouds, but it really hadn't rained all week. So we stopped by Home Depot and by the time we were ready to head out to the boat it was pouring! And it was socked in so we decided maybe not.

Instead we went to Snowflake to the temple, so next weekend will be boat weekend. And hopefully Kameron can get some done this week and get a head start on this giant project!!

So my parents have been going through this horrible house situation and just in the past week they went to court so a decision could be made over who owes what, yadyada...and they found out the they won the arbitration! This is a huge deal and it has caused my parents extreme stress. I'm so happy for them and for being honest and I just know the Lord was looking out for them. It was a very happy day when they got the good news!

So here is my sympathy paragraph, so beware:

Pregnancy is hard. I love feeling this little baby grow inside of me, but man! I feel like a cow a lot of the time. I can't breathe. It's like he sits in my diaphragm. And recently I've been having morning sickness! I thought it would go away after a week but it just comes and goes and it just is really hard. I'm tired. Oh and can I talk about indigestion/heart burn for a second? It hurts so bad it goes up into my jaw and I can't function. It stinks when I'm laying down to go to bed and acid starts seeping up into my throat and it burns and I just want to cry. And today! So my hand were swelling and I couldn't get my wedding ring off. So I'm at church in the primary room playing the piano and decided to take my ring off and set it there. Surprise! We leave and there is road work so we have to back track (I'll spare the details) we get home and I realize I've forgotten my Wedding Ring! Yikes. Long story short I got it back in one piece. Thanks Goodness! But honestly? Okay I'm done.

Kameron finally found out he is going to be running an afternoon route + Saturdays. Boo! But we are so blessed he even gets to keep his job and insurance. And it's only for three-ish months. Kameron says he is going to go into survival mode though. It's going to be a tough semester in A lot of ways. He's a trooper and I'm so grateful for a husband than works so hard.

So this is the only pic I have and it's not a good one, but I want to keep track of my "growth"

So here's me and Jeter at 30 weeks...

Oh, and the other night it felt like he was laying horizontal and pushing on my ribs? The pain was horrible! I took a bath and that helped, but oh man it was paiiinful! Sure will be nice to just have him here with us instead of in my belly!
