So Blessed

This week has been ANYTHING but a breeze but has also been a blessing.  Josh has been gone to Indianapolis since Monday (returns tonight) and Shelby and I were supposed to go w/ him and stay w/ my BFF, Nichole in Jasonville but considering my health and all those issues goin on we were advised to no fly or go... Shelby has been a dream all week, except for her sleeping episode last night (Up every other HOUR!).... HOWEVER, this time w/ just she and I has been so precious and much needed!

I received these pics last night from my dear college buddy, Megan.  Shelby went to her oldest daughter's bday party a few weeks ago. It was a super hero bday party and shelby got to wear her Halloween Costume, Hot Pink Bat Girl, or as I'm calling her, "Super Sheebs!"  The pics are BREATHTAKING and I'm seriously considering using Megan's friend that's a photographer who took them! I love the misty/soft look of each pic!

future basketball player?! I think so!

Woot Woot Wednesday

This week's Woot Woot Wednesday is gonna be a photodump, I know... I tend to just do those lately and I was told yesterday by one of my BFF's, JuJu, "You've really slowed down on your picture taking."  Which makes me sad because I wanna document every second of the day I have w/ Shelby but feelin like crap and being so busy, it's just not feasible... but I'VE GOTTA make it a point to do better! :)So...here's photos from the week (and some that I forgot to post last week) so far...

Muleriders are coming to Texarkana!

Shelby is feeding Molly Ann (the SAU mule) popcorn. She was pictured Tuesday in the Texarkana Gazette page 3A

Josh teaching at CASE in Indianapolis... i'm so proud of him

My morning coffee walk today was gorgeous here at SAU...

Busy Thursday!

Yesterday was soooo busy and it was my day off/ my day to myself.... lol... I had an outfit to sew and finish, I've been having a lot more issues w/ throwing up/gallbladder this week, and I had an ultrasound to see the baby as a model for a pregnancy center. I had all this to do before picking shelby up from PreK for dance at 4 and Mulegating/the SAU vs. Harding game (that we lost :( ) at 4:30! I got it ALL DONE! :)
I sewed a little...
             Threw up a little....
                       Sewed a little.....
                                 Threw up a little.....
and it continued on til I finished the outfit at 10:30....

Oh and the little bitty this outfit was for, LOVED IT!!! this is a pic from the store before the customer picked it up...

It hurt my heart to sew up my high school rivals colors and team! LOL.... but it turned out super cute and the little girl this is for can wear the pants at Halloween too!! Orange and white! :)
and then... here's Baby Kee#2...
The little long-legged-stinker wouldn't cooperate and did JUST LIKE SHELBY DID AT 18 WEEKS WHEN WE TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT SHE WAS AND put its hands between its legs every time we tried to sneak a peak! I have my actual dr.'s appt. Oct. 24th so we will see then FOR SURE if I have to stay there all day!!!

Such a blessing to even be carrying this baby we never dreamed we'd have.... can't wait to hold this precious miracle and be able to see God's beauty once again through a child! :)

What a great weekend!

This weekend I had to do some sewing for the store (2Sprouts) and sewed the CUTEST little peasant dress for a customer who special ordered this.  I forgot how much I enjoyed sewing peasant dresses and I've not sewn something small in AGES! It turned out really cute!

6-12 month Peasant Dress

 Then our little "Punkin" decided we needed pumpkins for the house so we got several and this is how she decorated. LOL

All in a row on the floor, in front of the fire place. LOL.... I don't have the energy to fix it so they've remained there for the time being. LOL.
Last but CERTAINLY not least, CrossPoint has a new member! We now have a bass singer! Meet Dennis Dugger (NO he's not related to The Duggar's).

He's from Bald Knob, AR and has sung w/ NUMEROUS big name groups.  Their new sound is amazing and they had their first worship together Sunday night at Today's Family Church in Bigelow, AR.
Here's a little bit of the talent Dennis has added to the CP Family....

Baby Kee #2- 17 weeks

Yesterday was our dr's appt. and it all went well.  Baby Kee #2 sounded great and is growing just right.  Me on the other hand, well I've lost like 15 lbs now since I found out I was pregnant and since my last visit w/ my dr. I had lost 4.5 lbs... he was concerned to why I was still so sick... he seems to think my gallbladder isn't working.  For now, I'm having to monitor what I eat and drink.  He can't do anything about my gallbladder while I'm pregnant.  Praying that it doesn't get worse and is manageable :).
On a happier note, here's a belly pic :) and Oct. 24th is our next dr.'s appt and WE'LL GET TO SEE THE BABY AND FIND OUT IF WE ARE HAVING A BOY OR A GIRL! :)

17 weeks

on the left i was 9 week and here I am on the right this week.  I look skinnier except the belly...
