Pregnancy Week 35

This has been another slow week. Even though I have a huge list of things to do before baby arrives, I have not completed many of those tasks. I have been busy working at the restaurant and the high school. Jason's Mother had a hip surgery this week and most of our family has been slowly recovering from colds, but other than that it was  good week. This afternoon we will be celebrating Jason's Dads Birthday. I did have an OBGYN appointment this week, again things seem to be progressing well. I have gained about 30 pounds to this point!

Pregnancy Week 34

This has been a pretty uneventful week. I have been working to get Joe's big boy room ready, but other than that it has just been all work and no play! I think I like this peaceful time.

Beer Christmas Tree

I really wanted to get this post up before the holidays but it was so crazy around here, it did not happen. But I did want to share my Beer Christmas Tree creation that I made for a friend of ours for Christmas. Keep in mind this tree was not only made from beer and nuts (every mans dream), but it also had working lights on it!

Merry Christmas!
Christmas Tree made out of a case of beer.

I started with a plastic serving platter ( i reinforced with cardboard). Then I found a circle box and a solo cup to create the different layers. I put the circle box in the center of the tray and placed beer all around. I keep the beer together with a ribbon. Then I placed the solo cup in the center of the circle box and placed beer all around the cup. Finally, I placed the last beer on top of the solo cup. The I embellished with fake snow, tissue paper, battery operated lights, beer nuts, and a star.

What man in your life would not like to receive one of these Christmas trees? I am so sick of giving gift cards I thought this was a great option to give someone something they like on a more personal level.

Pregnancy Week 33

This week has been a busy one:( because Joe and I have been sick! I hate to be sick but I really hate it when the baby is sick. On a happy note I had an OBGYN appointment and everything went great! I am going every two weeks now! I can't believe how quickly this baby will be here!  Although, the doctor told me to keep an eye on how much weight I gain ( 28 pounds so far). We also had a great time taking Joe to the Farm Show to see all the tractors! I enjoyed the junk food!

Where: Week 33
When: Jan 11, 2013
Why: Because we have come this far! I want to finish all my photos!

Pregnancy Week 32

After all of the holiday fanfare! This has been a calm week. Joe and I have been enjoying all of the new toys we got for Christmas and I am spending one last week looking at the decorations before I have to take them all down. I would love to say that we rang in 2013 with a bang but it was a low-key evening at home!

Happy New Year!

Pregnancy Week 31

Merry Christmas! I can't believe what a fabulous holiday week our family enjoyed. We had a great time with Grand-mom and Pop Hice  and the Potter family coming to our home for Christmas Eve dinner. We also had a great Christmas Day breakfast and lunch with Grand-mom and Pop Hice. We ended the holiday at Aunt Beth and Uncle Derek's house. We enjoyed a big snowstorm the day after Christmas which ruined my shopping but Joe had the time of his life in his new sled and snowsuit. The end of the week was also great as Jason and I celebrated our 5th anniversary (OK we really didn't celebrate) by taking Joe to Hershey Park Candy Lane. Joe loved riding the rides, I think we have a thrill seeker on our hands.

 Pregnancy Week 31

What: Happy Holidays! We actually had some snow!

Where: Week 31
