Prepare to Be Amazed...

Yeah... that's not a photograph... 

For those of you who don't know, my sister-in-law, Lacie Oakey, is amazing!  She is an extremely talented artist.  She launched her first website a few months ago, and it is amazing.  

You should take a look at her website by clicking here.

Click the above link and then go to 'Welcome to My Site.'  After that you will see a small icon on the bottom left of each page that says 'Gallery.'  Click on that!  You will be amazed... I promise...

Building Our Bed!

We built a bed!  Yeah....

  Well, Makay built it and I helped a little!  It was such a fun thing to do together.  We were trying to find something that we could do to spend time with each other other than watch movies and eat dinner.  Makay thought about building a bed all summer long.    So we thought we would do it together.  I married such a handy man!  I love it!

I should have taken more pictures of the process, but I didn't... sorry!

At 16 Weeks...

16 Weeks

This picture was taken at 16 weeks.  I need to do better at taking pictures!  I am 17 weeks now! The baby is the size of my palm... aw, how cute.

  As you can see I am showing a little bit, but if you didn't know I was pregnant you would just think I was gaining weight.  But I don't care!  I am so happy to be pregnant!  I look at my belly every morning in the mirror and stand amazed at the changes that are taking place.  What a miracle.  

I have loved every minute of being pregnant.  It really has been amazing.  I am so grateful that I am so naive to the difficulties that lie ahead.  I know that rainbows and butterflies won't consume my future; however, I am grateful that I don't realize just how difficult it will be.  I am so enjoying this time I have to experience ignorant bliss.  I love the moments I have to ponder on the joys that motherhood will bring.  I am just so excited!
