Merry Christmas!!!

Raelee Anne has arrived. December 21, 2009 @ 1003am. 8 lbs, 20 inches. I'll blog the story later, but for now know that she is the cutest, sweetest, prettiest, adorablist, little girl ever! Not that I biased :) Hope every one is having a very Merry Christmas! ~S~

39 weeks!

Wow, 39 weeks today! This pregnancy has really flown by. Somedays I'm ready for her to be here, and then other days am freaking out that she's about to be here. We're praying that she will come on her own, at my appt yesterday, she's still high and not ready to come out. We set up a tentative induction date if I go post dates, hopefully I won't. You get Daddy pictures today, due to the fact that I have a cold and am not in the take a picture mood. Brad's so cute, we have a stuffed doll thing that he's been changing diapers and outfits on. The other day, he put it in our sling and carried it around for awhile to see what it was like. He added a weight to it "so it would be realistic". A friend told me, "pick the absolute worst day that she could be born and that will be when she comes". If thats true, it'll be this Thursday when Brad has finals, LOL!

almost there...

37 weeks and 4 days. 17 days left. Can't wait to meet our little one and to be able to tie my own shoes again :)

We love our Honda CR-V. Probably one of the best purchases we've made. You can fit almost anything in it. Our latest test was our shopping spree at Lowe's. We were able to fit all our purchases that filled two buggies and one flat buggy thing into our CR-V. The Lowe's employee's were very impressed, I'm sure!

32 weeks...

I don't want to jinx myself, but I think I might finally be over the nausea part of pregnancy. Too bad it only took about 16-20 weeks longer than average! I am now 32 weeks preggers. Wow! I can't believe it is going by sooo fast! Our house is finally painted and we've started to unpack the nursery and the rest of the house. We still have items that we never unpacked from our move last year! Brad put together Raelee's dresser and the crib is soon to come. Oh, BTW that's the name we've decided on, Raelee Anne :) I'll post belly and nursery pics soon!
*S*

The Best Day Ever!!!

Today I was cleaning out my wallet and was on my way to the trash can with some old gift cards when I the thought popped into my mind that maybe I should make sure that the balances were zero. Some of these cards I've had for several years. So I started calling the numbers on the backs of the cards and found out...I have money! One card had $21, another $15 and the last had $13.22. I'm so,so,so glad I didn't just throw those away. Now I'm going to go search the house to see if I can find anymore :)

Orlando

We had a fun mini-vacation last week. Brad had a work trip in Orlando for classes Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I was able to go with him. It was nice and relaxing for me. I slept in every day and hung out at the pool. FYI if you're laying out and 28 weeks pregnant, don't forget to put sunblock in your belly button, mines a little pink right now :) We were able to go to IKEA and buy our little ones dresser, then we went to Pottery Barn Kids and bought the sheets. I have awesome co-workers that already bought us the quilt and bumper set for the crib. Friday, we were able to go to the temple, and then that night played Congo river miniature golf. Brad had TWO hole in ones. It was nice to be able to just relax and not have a crazy schedule.

It's a girl

Yay!!! We have finally found out what this little one is, definitely a girl. We were able to get a bunch of ultra sound pics today, but I'm not going to post the gender telling ones, since apparently she's very modest :) I'm now 23 weeks and she weighs approximatly 1 lb 6 oz. Sorry these pics are blurry, I don't have a scanner, so I had to take the pictures with my camera and upload them

Tally tourist

Today our plan was to spend the day in Destin, FL for Brad's birthday. Well, due to pregnancy and staying up too late last night, we didn't wake up early enough to warrant driving all the way to Destin just to drive back later in the same day. So we decided to spend the day pretending we were visiting Tallahassee. We ate lunch at Applebee's (yum, love the riblets), took a after lunch nap, then went to the IMAX theater to watch StarTrek. We even splurged and bought snacks at the theater instead of sneaking them in in my purse. After that we drove around Tally stopping at stores we never seem to have the time to go to. Example: Fresh Market. We've been meaning to shop there forever, but never do. What a neat store though. We bought a chocolate eclair, sooo delish, and some really, really good chocolate chip banana nut bread. We then walked around Target(whenever we go out of town, we always end up at a Target store) and then drove home the scenic route, stopping to drive through neighborhoods and down roads we've never been though. All in all we've decided Tallahassee's a pretty neat place to live :)

My bum leg

Wednesday evening, I was minding my own business, walking back to my car in a parking lot after shooting some hoops with my little bro, when there was an excruciating pain in the back of my left leg. A wasp had stung me and it really, really hurt! Not to sound like a baby, but that was some pain! Well, by Friday my leg didn't even look like my leg anymore. It was swollen from the ankle to knee all the way around, and I had a HUGE bruise where I had been stung, and it really hurt to walk. Oh, and itched like crazy! I went to work anyway, figuring one of our doc's could give me advice on what to do, well the advice was to go to the E.R. Well, I didn't do that, but I did go to my regular doc that afternoon, and was placed on antibiotics. Apparently, I had an allergic reaction/infection going on. The fun part was I got a work release for the entire weekend, but the not so fun part was I had to sit around with my leg on a pillow with an icepack. My leg's feeling a ton better now, not so swollen, but still bruised, it doesn't hurt to walk anymore thank goodness, so back to work I go tomorrow. However, I am going to do my darnedest to stay away from any insects that fly and sting.

no news

Boo, the doctor wasn't able to tell the gender of our little one. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait another month. The doctor did say if he had to guess, he would say girl, but definitely not to buy anything or paint the nursery yet. It'll be fun to see if he's right or not :)

The suspense is killing us!

Well tomorrow, hopefully, fingers crossed, knock on wood, we will find out which our little one is going to be. We're trying not to get too excited just in case baby decides to be modest :) In which case, we'll have to wait another 4 weeks! Brad and I both think it's a boy, so we'll see...

Random pics

Okay, random post. First pic is my first crop from the garden, so yummy. Second pic, some beautiful flowers from my friend Jennifer's baby shower. Third pic, my cutie of a husband. Love him :)

The little Wonsch

I had a doctors appt today and was able to get pics of our little one. These are face shots and in the second pic, the little one is waving. It's now 13 weeks old :)

See you later alligator!

I went fishing with Dad on Friday. The only thing I caught was this little alligator. Complete accident! He got hooked under the chin, but after we got him on land and got the hook out, he grabbed it in his mouth! It took Dad awhile to get his jaws pried open so that I could grab the hook out, but once we did we threw him back in the water where he very happily swam away.

A free day!

Want to know one of my favorite things ever? The phone ringing at 5:00am, and the shift leader from work being on the other end telling me they don't need me at work that day. LOVE IT!!! This is what happened this morning, and today has been the best day ever! It's so beautiful outside, and if I had gone to work today, I probably would not have even seen the sunlight today. Now don't get me wrong, I love my job, but a day off that's not expected is the best :)

New baby coming soon :)

Well, we found out last week that we are going to be parents!!! My due date is Dec. 17th. It's kinda early to be spreading the news, but my dad was having a really hard time with keeping the secret, so we decided to go ahead and let our good news be known. Other great news, no morning sickness yet!!! Maybe too soon to be celebrating, but I feel great! Ya'll keep sending up the prayers that I continue to feel so well :)

Mission accomplished!

So glad that our garage sale is finally over. It was originally scheduled for Dec. 7th, then our house flooded. We reschedule for Feb 14th, then it rained. Finally we had beautiful weather yesterday and the mission has been accomplished! We ended up with a better turnout then we expected, but with the economy, it seemed that no one wanted to buy anything over $1.00. One women was especially not so nice. I had a brand new scrapbook kit, stickers, pages, letter, everything included for sale for $5.00. I thought that was a great deal, considering what was paid for it. This women preceded to tell me that it wasn't even worth $1.00 and that she was being nice by offering to pay that! Of course I turned down her offer, and then she preceded over to my 16 year old brothers table and told him he should be giving his stuff away for free! I was glad when she left. I'm just so glad to have the sale over, and have most of the clutter out of our house. It was so nice to wake up and go downstairs this morning and not have boxes sitting around everywhere!

extreme orange

Brad, I know your favorite color is orange, but this is a little ridiculous, LOL!

Smoked out!

Matthew and I tried to go fishing last week at St. Marks. AFTER, we paid our money, and were almost to the primo spot, this is what we found. Matthew tried to convince me to stay, that the fire wouldn't take too long to burn out, but it was a little too close for comfort for me.

Spring is here!!!

How do I know? From our schedule this week. Example: Monday night, volley ball game; Tuesday, Brad's softball game; Wednesday, Brad's softball game; Thursday, Brad's softball game. Softball season is always the start of spring for me and it's started with a bang this season, and several scrapes and bruises for Brad from sliding and getting hit with the ball :) Unfortunately, I 'm not on a team this year:( However, I will get to play in the church tourney April 11th, so that should be fun!

Why I love Mr Wonsch...

There are many, many reasons, but some of the top ones are:
1. He'll wake up early and drive me to work if I'm still sleepy.
2. He brings me water at night.
3. He tucks me in at night.
4. He gives me the best bite of his sandwiches.
5. He'll let me pick where we eat out at.
6. He lets me plan dinner, but he cooks it :)
7. He lets me have to fluffiest pillow at night.
8. He almost always drives when we travel.
9. He likes the same TV shows as me.
10. He carries in all the groceries when we go shopping.
This makes me sound spoiled, but it shows why Mr. Wonsch is such a wonderful hubby!
P.S. I just noticed a lot of these have to do with food :)

stain, stain be gone!

The other night Brad became forgetful and accidentally left a grocery bag with ice cream sandwiches and ice cream bars sitting on the couch, which has on it a white couch cover that I love. The bag was discovered the next morning when I walked into the living room. As I walked over to the bag, I was thinking "Maybe Brad put the ice cream in the freezer and for some crazy reason came back into the living room to leave the bag on the couch". Wishful thoughts. I picked the bag up to find melted ice cream and chocolate running all over the couch and into the cushions. It was a MESS! We had to strip off the couch cover and the regular cushion covers and then clean the cushions. We currently are without a washer and dryer, so we made a run to my parents to use theirs. Thankfully, my mom was stocked up on stain stick, which is the best thing ever. All the covers came out of the wash just like new. So FYI, if you ever have a crazy stain, I'm pretty sure stain stick can clean it for you!

Lindley's new style

I finally talked Lindley into letting me cut her hair. Added bonus, she actually agreed to let me dye and highlight it also. WHAT!!! Never thought she'd go for that. This was the first time I've ever dyed hair and I think it turned out pretty good.

New floors

Whoohoo!!! We saw our new floors for the first time today.
They are so beautiful!!!! Turned out way better than I ever
imagined. Now, onto painting. Not my favorite thing to do,
but Marquesas has convinced us it's not an impossible task :)
