Let the Fun Begin

So the countdown is on, and its time to get going on the nursery. Im so excited, cuz I have never been able to paint a room the way I want it, or to really take the time to decorate it the way I would like. The only sad part is that Im not even the one doing the painting, my mother-in-law is doing it for me. I was gonna wait till it was completely finished before I posted pictures, but I guess people need something to read in their spare time lol, so I am providing updates for their enjoyment. So far we have only painted, as we are still waiting on the decals and carpet.

So, here are a few before pictures....

And a few after pictures.....

ITS GREEEEEN!!!!!!!

So the room is going to be green, with pink double-layer curtains. There will be a tree wall decal on the wall to the left of the window in the picture, where the crib and change table will be, which has pink/white/and green flower and ladybug bedding. We are also going to have a dark green glider, and pink flower decals and pink shelves. I am sooo excited for it to be finished!!!!

I think this little girl is really excited too, because she is moving around like crazy still. Its such a strange/awesome feeling. I am measuring at 2 weeks ahead of what I should be, so hopefully that means that she is gonna be here sooner. We will see what my doc says at my next appointment, which is in three weeks instead of four. 

Daddy is getting really excited too, and can't wait for our little munchkin to finally be here. He told me yesterday that he plans to install the carseat on November 16th, and then practice putting it in the car and taking it out whenever we go somewhere. We are also going to prenatal classes, which are pretty much a gongshow lol. But I like going to them because it makes me feel like Ben is being included and is getting more settled into the daddy role, even though she is not here yet. Some of the things we talk about in that class are straaange! But its fun, and everyone is always laughing. 

Oh, I guess I could put a few bump pictures on here too that I have taken thus far :)

15 weeks

22 weeks

And...POP! 29 weeks!

I dont even feel that big, or think that I look that big, but when I took this picture this afternoon, I was like "Holy crap Ben, Im FAT!"  Ben is pretty excited about that, because he has been waiting for me to really look pregnant right from the beginning. I dont really look this big all the time, I think it is just the picture and the dress. But oh well. its still a cute little bump :) Thats all for now! 

Rewind

Okay, so I have joined the dark side....the blogging world. Next stop....Pintrest! Lol. I never thought I would be one to start a blog, but I find myself with extra time on my hands, with severe bouts of boredom. Shhhh dont tell Ben or he will come up with something for me to do ;)

So before I jump right in to our crazy lives here on the far, lets bring you up to speed. This is gonna be fast, so hang on....(rewind sound)

On June 5th, 2011 a strange farm boy presented me with a bright shiny piece of metal and rock, and asked if I would like to become a farmer's wife. As fate would have it, I said yes. So Ben and I were married on August 20th, 2011 in the Cardston Alberta Temple. It was the happiest day of my life, promising so many more to come. We moved into a little house in Redcliff, not farm from the farm, and that is when the Huber homestead began.

That year I attended school while he attended to the feedlot. He became a buisness owner, establishing Eldorado Charolais, with about 30 head. I quickly became a farm wife, with late meals, unknown schedules, muddy carpets, and one smelly poop covered husband.

Our happy homestead has since moved out onto greener pastures on the home farm across from the in-laws. We have three little kitties and one beast of a dog, Maverick. We got Mav as a puppy, and have grown up together. He is still a little wiggling pup, but he is the best with kids! He will fight and wrestle with Ben, but when it comes time to be with kids, he just lays down and lets them maul him lol. I am so happy that he is so good with kids because in 102 day, on December 16th 2012, he will have a brand new little baby playmate!

Ten tiny twinkle toes will be added to our little homestead this Christmas, and they will be covered with pretty pink baby booties. We are expecting a little baby girl, and we have never been so excited! I am 25 weeks, and desperately counting down the days tilll we can see our little girl. You wouldnt know I was that far along, and Ben keeps asking "When are you gonna get REALLY fat?" I have a bit of a bump, and I look pregnant, but I really just want to be one of those cute little pregnant laddies who looks like the swallowed a basketball. Lol I know I shouldnt complain, cuz it only means that much less weight to lose after, but I just want to show off our little gift to everyone.

It is so magical to be able to feel our little baby moving around inside as she grows. I love just laying there and watching my tummy ripple and bulge and twitch, and to feel parts of her body pushing against it. Sometimes we can even feel her head pushed up against my belly button. Its so cool, and so weird at the same time. The only not cool things about it are the back pain and heartburn and excessive tiredness. But it is all worth it, and I try not to complain.

There is so much more going on here on the Huber homestead in our day to day lives, so stay tuned.
