lounging around day...
well, it's not all fun...i went to bed sick last night and woke up the same way this morning. i'm catching a cold...headache, sore throat, cough, burning eyes...feels like a train hit me! so i decided i should just rest for a day. maybe that will magically make me feel better! so i thought i would take a photo where i'm not dressed nicely with make-up no and hair done! i don't think i ever post any of these photos!!

in my comfy pants and a tee-shirt from my hubby's side of the closet!! wet hair and no make-up!!

now i'm off to go doze for a little while!!

on the countdown...

Brandon and i are on the countdown now! we're at 30 weeks...well about 30 1/2 weeks really!! it seems like the time has flown by! i think we are ready for little Oliver to join us at home...i guess as ready as we can be!!

Last night Brandon took a few photos of my baby bump...

my belly is certainly sticking out there now!! for the longest time everyone was telling me that i was so small for how far along i was...but they can see my ever-growing-tummy now!!
i love it!

our weekend trip...

Thought i would share a couple photos from our little visit to Sioux Falls last weekend! Jon and Nichole live there and we were invited out for a little visit before our babies are due! It was a rather quick visit...we left on Saturday afternoon and were back home by Sunday late afternoon...but we had a fun time shopping in Sioux Falls and visiting with them! Nichole and i went to a couple baby consignment stores and the guys went to a couple guitar stores!! On Sunday, after church, i got to take photos of Nichole's baby bump!! Here are a couple...

the rest of her photos are here

Brandon wanted to take a photo of Nichole and i...so that we could remember how we were pregnant at the same time!! Nichole is at 34 weeks and i am at 30 weeks!!

ohhh...just look at our two little bumps!!

i change my hair a lot...

Well, on Tuesday i got my hair cut again! i wasn't sure what i wanted...so i brought in a few photos to Jenny and told her the things i liked and didn't like about them all. and she gave me a new do! i was thinking about it and i've had lots of different hair styles in the past couple years! Here is a quick run-through...

i had the longest hair when Brandon first met me...and i kept this long hair for the longest. i don't think i had it cut for a year!! but, it was getting super long and extremely thick...so i started going shorter and shorter.

nice and long and wavy
(miss aimee in the back seat!!)

After moving to Blue Earth, i wanted a change for my hair...so i got it chopped off!! and had the ends flipped out most of the time...i liked this one, but i'm not sure it was the best for my face shape...

for our wedding, i let my flipped out hair grow out a little bit and then i had a perm put in!! talk about an extreme change!! Brandon called me a poodle for the first couple of days after getting it!! and i have to agree with him...but it relaxed quite a bit!! the photo for our wedding makes my hair look really good...since i had it professionally fixed right before the photos!!

and my goal was to let it grow it out again...this photo i have it pulled back so it looks shorter than it really was! but i loved being able to do a few different styles with it...and curl the ends!

Then miss Jenny came to town and started doing my hair!! we've put some lighter highlights in and added bangs! loved the bangs while they lasted!!
(just a bad photo of me!!)

i think this one is my all time favourite...after the perm, my hair was not healthy anymore...so i told miss Jenny just to cut off all the bad stuff! it was getting to the point that when i would go to flat-iron my hair in the morning it would actually squeak!! so, this one was longer on the sides and shorter in the back...and we coloured it much lighter this time!!

Okay...here is my new style!!
Super short...this is the shortest i have ever gone!! a little pixie really...but i think i like it! super easy to take care of! perhaps it's just my pregancy hormones that is making me go shorter and shorter...not quite sure!!
after this one i think i am going to try to grow it out a little more...but i guess we'll see just how far that goes!!

OMGoodness

it's here...it's here!!
i had ordered the most adorable baby boy (and girl, but i'm only excited about the boy stuff!!) paper and embellishments for at the scrapbook store...and it came in on tuesday!!
super super cute things...i can't wait to start making a book for little Oliver!!
As soon as i opened the box and saw that it was 10 times cuter than the photos online...i just had to send Liz and Brandon an email saying that "it's here...it's here...i think i'm going to cry it's just soooo cute"!! it made Brandon laugh when came to the store that afternoon!!

Liz is going to come over to my house, i think next weekend, and scrapbook!! Even though i have a smaller house...i also invited Jenny and Tami!! i'm sure we'll all fit!! Not quite sure on the date...but whenever it will be...we are going to have lots of fun!!
