4th OF JULY

Ever since yesterday I have been a flutter getting the house in order. We are hosting this year's 4th of July BBQ. Its just going to be family with the exception of my BIL bringing a lady friend as his date. At least I have taken care of the kitchen, family room, and the playroom is half way decent. What I needed was tea candles to put under my oil warmer. I had forgotten to buy them at the store while we were out. I knew my MIL had some stashed in the basement so I went to hunt them down. I looked everywhere and came across some of the Baby Invitations I had 4 years ago. That brought a lump in my throat. I so want another baby so much but things are not going the way we planned. Anyways, I am not going to bore you with my sob story for now. As for the tea candle I could not find it, we must have thrown it out by accident back when we were cleaning up the basement. I didn't give up though, I went looking upstairs in all the drawers and finally found one, lol. I guess it will have to do for tomorrow. We will be spending most of our time outside on the deck or in the pool tomorrow. Its going to be a perfect day to have a BBQ and dip in the pool when it gets to hot..

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!

WHAT IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE

Our neighborhood is awesome. What I love about where we live is the peace and quiet. But the one thing that is love about where we live is its safe for our kids to play outside in the backyard as well as in the front porch. Neighbors watch out for each other and help out when they can. There is only two houses with kids in our street but their will be an addition soon. One neighbor is ready to give birth next month. I haven't seen her lately, probably busy with her friends picking out baby shower invitations.We are hoping that she has a safe delivery. Ralph told me that Ashley's baby has a complication and she will have a C-section due to the baby's bowels developing outside its tummy. I just hope both mom and baby will be alright and I can't wait to pick out cute onesies for the baby, just need to find out about the sex of the baby.

WILL I EVER GET AN INVITE?

We all know that part of starting a family is the thought of how to share and tell your loved ones about the exciting news that you are having a baby. When we found out we were expecting we told everybody right away. There is just something about sharing the news that your having a baby. For expectant moms we start to plan and imagine what the baby's sex is going to be and what he/she will look like. Last year I had so many friends that got pregnant and had there babies this year. All of those first time and not so first time moms still had a blast when it was time for the baby shower. Of course a baby shower should also be special and a lot of thought should be put into the baby shower invitations that will be sent out to family and friends. I have never been to a baby shower before and would love to get an invite (hint, hint). I would also love to surprise someone with a baby shower party. I never had that for myself since I really didn't have any close friends nearby but still instead of giving me presents for my 29th birthday some of my family and friends gave me baby stuff instead.
