The one where I let my OCD shine threw

Hi Everyone! So I know it's been like a month since i posted but you know how it is since most of you are incredible, yet busy people who have children.
Just a quick update -
Addie: So adorable (as always.) I do believe that Speech is already her main mode of communication now - I guess she is a Watson ;)
She like to pretend to be asleep even though her eyes are wide open and Sings CONSTANTLY.
Little Squirt: He kicks ALL the time...okay not constantly but I am worried that by the time I am finally at get to the end of this he is going to break a rib or something. Other than that things look good and healthy.
All of us except daddy: The majority of us are at my Mom's house in Garner, NC. My parents went on a cruise with some old Joy school friends for their 25th wedding anniversary (which technically isn't for another month, but who cares!) So I house/baby - ahem, I have been corrected :) - teenager sit for them while they went. I will be here for a little while longer than I will make the trek home to my own bed *sigh*
Daddy: I have been trying to call Jeremy daddy because Addie keeps calling him Jer - but only when she needs him to accomplish something for her. I have no idea where she picked that up ;) Well daddy is currently in Mississippi. Working hard and being the incredible man that he is. I love how hard he works and how he tries to make our lives better.

So now on to why I originally started this post. I have had a LITTLE bit of trouble with my OCD since I have become pregnant. Especially in the last month. Now I have always liked things planned and things to have a place - clutter has begun to really frustrated me. So before we left for my parents I had clean my entire house (not like a deep cleaning) and organize and clean my garage (this WAS a deep cleaning) I will have to post on that later. Anyway I found great satisfaction after I did those things. I am smiling just thinking about it.
After having such success on that project my mind started reeling with other things that I "HAVE" to do and I have to keep reminding that I don't "HAVE" to do these things.

Well then I was on my normally blog check and I found this image below (Isabella & Max's Rooms) and I saw that mesh basket and got so excited. You see I have a family notebook where I keep important info but it really has nowhere to go. It just sits around which annoys me (again Prego OCD taking over) So a plan has been formulating in my brain. In a week or two, when I get home I will probably post about it on my other blog (so stay tuned to that.)





NOW for what made me super excited. As part of my research I found this website call Iheartorganizing I was so impressed and excited by most of her projects. I am excited to try a few of them out. For example, She has gotten her 5 year old to fold his own laundry! I am super excited to try that in a year or two because I really hate folding laundry. Anyway she has become a regular read for me.

When I finally get home I will make sure to put up some photos so that you don't have to be bothered by the rantings of a Pregnant woman ;)

In case you haven't heard...

It's a boy!!!!!!!

They even moved up my due date from August 30 to the 22nd. We didn't get great ultrasound pics but he is healthy and REALLY like to kick. This one wants to be a swimmer. I can feel it ;)

Easter was FAB-u-louso! So much fun and Addie just loved hunting the eggs. We did grilling for our meal - which I was TOTALLY craving.





















Part of my belly, which feels bigger than it looks ;)





















So I know people always complain about the terrible twos, and yes I agree she pushes her limits more than she use to, but Addie has busted out with just the amazing sweet and cuteness. I feel so lucky to be her mom!























So I have been trying to get Addie to sing for everyone. This is the best I got so far but you can always call to get the full version :D no joke. She has been doing a sing-a-thon for several weeks now. And each day she has a new favorite. Today I think we sang Old McDonald 50 (bazillion) times.






Hopefully these came through right...
