What I'm Loving Wednesday: Labor Day Edition

It's been awhile since I've linked up with Jamie...

So here's What I'm loving...

Friends! Not too many people can keep me up till 1am any more...These guys are such a blessing in my life.

Family! I feel like it's only on holidays that I get to see my extended family any more, but it's always a great time. My dad's brothers are super intelligent and have a crazy sense of humor that always adds up to a good time.


Kittens! My SIL rescued this little guy. Makes me miss when my babies were that tiny...until I remember the trouble they got into :-)


Speaking of little guys... He melts hearts (especially mine!) with that smile :-)


What are you loving on this rainy, dreary Wednesday?

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I haven't done this in so long!

This is the baby edition...

• I'm loving my little man! Seriously! He is super awesome and I can't believe he's mine. I keep asking him if we can keep him. :-)

• I'm loving that last night he spent two solid stretches (over an hour) sleeping in his sleeper and not on me!
  

• I'm loving that I'm able to type this while eating pancakes I just made because he is content in his swing and I don't have to hold him. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE holding and cuddling with him, but when he doesn't like to be put down ALL day it starts to get a bit tiring.
  

• I'm loving all the support from friends and family. They have been super awesome in providing meals for us which has been a huge blessing. I swear we would be living on take out if it weren't for all of them.
  

• I am loving my husband and watching him be a dad. It's so touching to see father and son bond and watch Logan respond to his daddy.
  

• I love the fact that I can fit back into one of my pre-preggo pair of jeans! They are definitely more snug, but the fact that I can squeeze into them (and button them) less than 2 weeks after giving birth gives me hope to have a hint of my body back by summertime.

And I haven't forgotten to post the final part of my birth story, it's just super long and I have had a super hungry/fussy boy on my hands. It's almost complete though, so keep a look out over the next day or two. :-)

What I'm Loving

I'm a positive person. Really, I am. But I feel like this Wednesday I want to do what I'm NOT loving. But I won't. Because that isn't what it is. :-)

I'm LOVING that the sun is shining and it isn't raining (or snowing since it's like 9* outside). Since it's been so cold I've been in LOVE with peppermint hot chocolate. I don't know why they are more expensive at coffee shops, I just break a piece of a candy cane off and it melts before I know it.


I'm LOVING that Christmas is in 10 days! Even if I haven't started my shopping yet. OR that I don't have any days off until Christmas day. All the more reason to look forward to it.

I'm LOVING that Kevin decided to take the tree down instead of kicking the cats out of the house. And speaking of cats, I LOVE them. Even if they are a little crazy!

Kobe posing for the perfect photoshopped picture. (Don't mind the mess, we've been sick and haven't cleaned up.)
I'm LOVING that my tummy now moves when this kid moves. And boy does that kid move! I'm LOVING that it hasn't messed up my sleep yet.

I'm LOVING that I'm finally feeling better! Being sick is the worse and I was sick for over 3 weeks, so I'm glad to finally be feeling more like myself.

And lastly, I'm LOVING my husband :-) I LOVE how he knows me better than I know myself and can totally tell ME why I'M feeling a certain way. It's awesome!


So what are you loving?

What I'm Loving

Wow it's Wednesday already! This week is flying by. Maybe because it's a short work?

That's the first thing I'm LOVING...3 day work week! And I was out sick yesterday, so it's only 2 days for me.

I love that tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I anticipate this day all year. It's HUGE for my family. Sadly this is a small year and there's only going to be about 16 of us. Which may seem big to some, but I'm used to having close to 30 people crammed into my parents house. I pick up my Nana and we go to my parents on Wednesday and start baking and prepping. Then Thursday morning is a crazy. Love it!

I love that I get to see my baby on Monday! Ultrasounds are the best! I haven't seen the little one since I was just under 11 weeks!



I love that we discovered the iPhone has a stethoscope app, so we can hear our babe's heartbeat whenever. (Well, whenever they are running away)

I'm also loving the Christmas music on the radio!

So what are you loving? Head over Jamie's blog and see what everyone else is lovin' :-)

What I'm Lovin'

I'm linking up with This Kind of Love for the first time for What I'm Lovin' Wednesdays! Check it out!

First off, I'm LOVING the sun! It's been rainy/gloomy here the past couple of days and even though the sun keeps peaking behind the clouds it's still so much brighter than what it has been. I swear that I get SADs over the winter, so a bit of sunlight is good for me. :-)

I'm also loving the little life inside me that loves to kick away. They are still tiny so it's not hurting me, but strong enough for me to obviously feel. My sister-in-love told me that they will be one of the biggest things I'll miss once he/she is born, and I believe it. There's something comforting know that you are never completely alone.

I love that there is still leftover ice cream cake from someone's birthday in the freezer at work. Can you say hello calcium? I think that's a good excuse to eat it, right?

Kevin plays guitar for local Young Life clubs and I'm loving that we are back to the school that we were at last year! The leaders there are like family, it's the district we live in, AND I'll get to see any of my 8th graders from last years Wyldlife, if they go. Yay!

I love that I get to go home for Thanksgiving in a week from today! Hooray! Thanksgiving is like the best holiday. Everyone comes over to my parents house and it's craziness. We start cooking/baking/cleaning etc. on Wednesday evening when my Nana and I come up and it's so fun. This year's going to be small (only 16, ha!) but still totally awesome.

So what are YOU lovin'???
