V-day?

Okay so it wasn't the best V-day i've had. But I felt left out of the crowd with everyones posts about how there v-day went... 

I almost felt like i was on the "office". And i'm the girl sitting in her cube at work and everyone around her is getting spoiled with flowers... cards... candy... ect... whatever. I'm not here to cry about it i guess... ha. 

I did end up gettin my hair done from Leesh. Which was nice... that always makes me feel better. So i went home and got all ready for the night... just in case ya know. 

Ryan had a dentist appt... Lame! He came home soooooo grumpy about his mouth being numb. 

I on the other hand was STARVING... so we jumped in the car and i'm like lets just do something simple and go to Cafe Rio... Bad idea! It was PACKED! So... this is what our night consisted of... instead... 

We rented to Dinner for Smucks... If you havent seen that yet i recommend it... pretty funny show

 

Finally just decided to get a pizza... o well it was good!

As much as i didn't care for this v-day it was just a good night to relax and hang out with Ry. I should enjoy these times while I can. Ha. Love ya babe.

Whats your guess-ta-mate....

35 weeks

  This post is about a week old now… currently 36 wks. (yes if you cant tell i am counting down) My Sweet baby brother took some pics for me and they turned out fab! Love him for it!  Here’s a couple of my favs.

Daily occurrences...

 Lately these are my daily occurrences...
Like the craving for these nasty things! But only the Mickey D kind... And i have to have to have to HAVE Hot Mustard Sauce... that's what makes them so good...
 
At the moment i am addicted to Chocolate... AnYtHing and EVerYtHIng chocolate!!! Just posting the picture makes me want one... well... NEED one! PLUS: Recent studies show women who eat chocolate while pregnant have babies who show less fear, smile and laugh more often at 6 months of age...

 You'll also catch me like this about after 3:00... i feel like i all of the sudden got hit by a freight train...

 And usually after 6 pm after i've ate i feel like this...  extremely bLOATed...

 And just give it a few hours and i feel like this... (heart burn)

Or the feeling of  being out of breath... i'm always breathing heavily no matter what i do... blah!

But i know the end is drawing near... and i'm an nerd and have a chain just for counting down.. i cant believe how much its shrinking every day. Time has gone by so fast!


 

I know i'll miss the days when i can feel him move inside me... (even though sometimes it really hurts now.. but his hiccups are so cute... except when i get them right when i try to go to bed...)

And the days where i can get a belly rub for absolutely FREE. ha ha

Yay only a little over a month left and he'll be here!

Happy Birthday Shelbey Lou!

Wowzers. My baby sister only has 365 more days until she will be driving on her own!!! Insane! But i'm so excited for her! We went out to dinner with the family and she chose Texas Roadhouse (bad idea). We got to embarrass her on the saddle it was awesome! Happy Birthday Sissy Poo!

Baby Rykers Room

I know its been a long time coming. But it still a slowly work-in-progress... But this is what we have done so far... Yeah. As you can tell we didn't do the "Camo" theme. I didn't care for it. And we didn't do the gray/blue color cause Ry didnt care for it.

So we got thinking and went a whole other route... funny how it worked out. But we did a John Deere theme... ha. It turned out pretty cute. I'm still working on getting more tractors in the room rather then the "deer". Ha. Its been fun and Ryan has been extremely excited about it. I catch him often going in and looking at it randomly... ha.

And yes... kinda weird..   but yes we painted the doors green... ha.

I made some curtains that turned out a little better than i thought. Were still adding decorations... but its a start and i'm not really in a rush. Cause from the sounds of it he wont sleep in his crib. He'll probably be next to me in my room for the first little while. ha. Were super excited and cant wait for him to get here! 5 1/2 more weeks to go...

i love freebies!

traditions…

Christmas eve day the boys usually go shooting. Its been a tradition in our brother-in-law Spencers family. Spence was kind enough to start inviting the cottles and they have been doing this for a few years now. This year was a little different and maybe a little more merrier… They took along some of my family. Too bad ry had my camera while the boys were out me, mom & sis stayed in our cozy house making homemade caramel and toughie.

Rodger, Spencer, Randy, Ryan, Colbey, Jake, Rich & Jared.

christmas at the cottles...

Nope i don't have any of those adorable pictures everyone else has on their blog of Christmas morning with there kids all goopy eye'd and crazy hair'd with HUGE grins! Dangit! Hopefully next year we will have some exciting pictures to post. ha. Christmas morning was great... we got to sleep in and enjoy one anothers company. I woke up to a big surprise under the tree... a huge box (considering ryan said to me "dont get me anything") what the heck you got me something??? Well this big box had a glider in it! Woo Hoo! I was pretty dang excited about it! Along with a thoughtful card and a pedicure! Ryan knows exactly what i need! Unfortunately ry's christmas was a little on the boring or should i say on the practical side as well... ha. New church shirt, socks, slippers, planner, toothbrush and of course a remote control helicopter that came already broken... sorry babe.I did buy us a new camcorder tho... i figured we needed one before the baby gets here! We also got spoiled with a new crib! That i cant wait to set up!!  Thanks MaMa & PaPa Warburton! This Christmas was great spending time with family having our annual omelet breakfast at G&H Warburtons and then going and shoving our faces again with MaMa Cottles Christmas Dinner! As well as find out the great news at the Cottles! Alicia & Chris have also decided to multiply and replenish the earth with us and there cutie is due July 15th! Were so excited!!!!!!

Not to get down on this years Christmas.. it was good. But we are so looking forward to next years Christmas when we will have a little one to hang with that morning! :) Hope everyone had a merry Christmas! Cheers to the new year!

belly pic again?

A little update on the pregnancy? I now look and feel way un-proportioned and i think this picture does that comment justice. I look pretty freakin huge. Cant believe I’m 30 weeks! Still going strong. My doc said there is a chance we could get him to come out a little earlier because i am measuring a little bigger than March 3rd.  Maybe go to Feb. 28th? We will see.

I’m feeling good. Getting stretch marks here and there but what can ya do? And just to answer everyones question. Nope, we haven’t even begun the nursery. Don’t you worry i will inform you when we do and show pics.  I just cant decide what exactly were going to do… yet.

Well were way excited for our little Ryker to come! Especially me! I’m at the un-comfortable stage and would really enjoy life a little more if i could sleep on my belly ha ha. Welp, i’ll keep ya updated as best as i can.

Daily Poll...

Okay... so now that it is getting closer and closer i keep thinking about the nursery... And am getting a little nervous about it. So... i mentioned to Ry that we should get started on it. And was giving him some of my ideas. Well.. i guess it came down to just one idea. I'm thinking like a gray/blue color with white bead board up on half way... A little something like this... maybe a little lighter blue and a little more gray...

or something like this...

But then again my husband has another idea... you know him. And he has done an excellent job making our house look super cute! He has very good taste in a lot of things. But he gave me an idea for the nursery and i dont really know what to think of it. And am possibly having a hard time picturing it.

He likes the beadboard idea but instead of doing the blue/gray walls he wants to do camo?

hmm....

I dunno about this?

leave a comment letting me know which one your vote is for... i'm curious if i'm the only one that think camo is a little over the top??? ha. Love ya babe!
