one year anniversary

sunday, we celebrated our first anniversary!! i still can't believe that one year has already passed, it feels like just yesterday we were saying 'i do'! but then again, at the same time it feels like we've been married forever.  this past year has been the best year of my entire life, dave seriously makes me happier every single day.  he amazes me! 

we definitely had our ups and downs this past year, and we both have learned so much about each other and continue to learn more and more.

i couldn't imagine life without dave.  marrying him one year ago was the best decision of my life.

happy anniversary lover!!

love you to the moon and back!!

we haven't been very good at taking pictures lately... i noticed it started once we found out about the little human that's going to be joining our family in 7 weeks. hopefully sooner.... so we decided to make sure that we document our first anniversary.  sorry for all the pictures. enjoy.

a little camp fire

last night we hiked down the trail behind dave's parent's house.. the boys made a little camp fire, we cooked some {delightful} tin foil dinners & roasted some s'mores. mmmm.  it was super easy getting there because it was all down hill, but hiking back up 8 months pregnant was quite the sight. lets just leave it at that. it was a fun friday night activity.

jaimers & tball

last night, dave & duke closed their shop early so we could go watch little jamison at his tball game.  holy cuteness. i love this little man soo much, it's kind of ridiculous.  he did such a good job! and not to mention he looks freaking adorable while playing. p.s.  dave and i are celebrating our one year anniversary this weekend, and the weirdo's that we are, we have no idea what to do to celebrate!

>> don't forget to visit olive's boutique and follow along!! opening date & more details coming soon!<<

32 weeks + 1 day

i am currently thirty two weeks along, plus one day.  i had to double check one of my baby apps this morning to remind me how far along i am.  my mind is going a little koo-koo. this baby bump sure has gotten a lot bigger just from last week, its amazing how big she is getting in there.  she's still moving around a ton!! i have another doctors appointment today.... same old routine. ;) okay, funny story! yesterday while i was visiting at my mom's, little baby girl started going crazy inside.  i wanted to show my sisters because personally, i love watching my belly move as she kicks and wiggles.  but they didn't seem to like it as much as i do. they were a little freaked out... but hey, what do they expect?! yes, there is a miniature human in there and yes she does move around, alot! i only have about 8 weeks left, and i'm getting very anxious.  i just want her here!! i'm extremely ready to be a mommy, and surprisingly i'm not scared one bit.  dave is really excited to meet her also.. he told me last night, "i'm gonna take so many days off work when she's born" i've also been researching a lot, once i hit full term in five weeks i'm going to start doing everything possible to push this baby along.  i'm ready to feel like a normal person again,  pregnancy is definitely not my thing! ;)

exciting news {part 2}

i know, i know.. more exciting news?! yes indeed.  so along with my lovers new shop will come this amazing machine that will not only improve his business but it will allow myself to start my very own! exciting, right?? i think so. it's still in the process of getting things ready & set up but i had to post about it.  my lovely sister rachel will be my "business partner" and together we will be opening a vinyl boutique called olives boutique.  selling custom vinyl designs.  we're pretty stoked actually. we have a blog, instagram & facebook page that you should all follow and like! spread the news and share this with all your friends and family.

big news!!!

remember how i mentioned in a previous post that the hubs was looking for a shop for his company? well they finally found one that they love and moved in last weekend.  it's seriously huge!! dave may have to correct me, but there is about 7-8 rooms. {maybe a few more} i get lost in there, which forces me to just stay in the front couple rooms.  i am so excited for dave and his business partners.  they have been waiting a while to be able to get a shop again.  i love how happy dave is about it.  they still have a lot to do to the place to make it look presentable.  you'll have to talk to dave about the plans they have for each room.  but so far the office area & the waiting room are cleaned out and painted.  just waiting for the carpet to be put in. stay tuned for the "grand opening" you won't want to miss out.

life has been crazy busy lately.  i had a doctor's appointment last week, and i'm now down to every two week appointments!! yay. before we know it we'll be holding baby O.  i can't wait.  i am currently 31 weeks and 2 days along. and i found my first 2 stretch marks the other day. :(

i had baby shower number one with the moultrie side last saturday, it very enjoyable.  we had brunch, made baby 'thank you' cards and opened gifts. this little girl is going to be so spoiled i can tell you that.

pictures coming soon from baby shower

fishy, fishy.

hi. we're just fish-sitting for a couple weeks.  one of dave's mission companion's who lives in our apartment complex is going to hawaii for a couple weeks {jealous} so we gladly agreed to take care of their fish while they are gone.  how fun, right?! :)  when we first got married, i kept telling dave that i wanted to get a fish... but i was told that it would probably just die. he probably would have been right.

just out of high school, a friend and i decided to buy a fish.  they were teeny tiny neon fishy's.  i named mine "madame squidsea sheshell" and she actually lived for a really long time {the only fish of mine that lasted longer than a week}  hopefully this little guy doesn't die under our watch.

p.s. i was reading a post from one of my favorite blogs this morning and she talks about the importance of raising awareness of pornography.  i think everyone needs to read it.  you will be shocked at some of the statistics. click here to read more!!

baby body talk>>

 {above: just a few months before getting pregnant}

{left to right: 5 weeks; 16-17 weeks; 21 weeks; 28 weeks}

i need to get this off my chest so that if for some ODD reason down the road, the hubs and i decide to have another child, i can remember my thoughts. :)

i knew from the very beginning that i would have a very hard time with the gaining weight part of the pregnancy, but knew that it was extremely important to help grow a healthy baby. and trust me, i still know that.  that's all that i want for our baby girl, is to be healthy.  but i didn't think i would have this hard of a time with the weight gain. it's been a struggle. and the further along i get, the worse it gets.

in the beginning i could hardly keep any food down.  for 17 whole weeks!!! instead of gaining weight in the first and part of second trimester, i lost a lot of weight.  once i started feeling better, and i could actually eat, it's like i have to be constantly eating or else i feel miserable. i've told my family, that i haven't actually "felt FULL" in soo long. 

this little baby bump, is really little.  i sometimes wonder if she's growing in there. ;) i'm gaining all the weight in all the areas except my stomach. lol. i am definitely getting chubby. and i'm definitely having a hard time with it mentally. i hate going places because i'm afraid all people are thinking about is how chubby i've got.  i'm very self conscience.

at my last appointment 3 weeks ago, i had gained a total of 22 pounds so far. that was 3 weeks ago and i have 11 weeks left.  i know that it's only going to increase.

i definitely don't wanna watch too terribly much what i eat, i know this baby needs it.  and i wish i had the energy to go exercise everyday. {i can hardly get out of bed everyday}

any of you mom's out there have any advice for me? how did you get through it mentally? 

april lovin'//

i personally can't believe that it is now april.  time is flying by, and it just makes me that more excited. {and a little antsy} 
<< i think april is going to be my favorite month for the rest of my life. it's our wedding month!! on the twenty eighth, dave and i will be celebrating our one year anniversary.

<< i have another doctor's appointment next week.  and by then i'll be 30 weeks along.  which means ten weeks left!!! by the end of this month i'll be down to the single digits on my baby countdown. eeeeee!

<< i'm not a huge fan of the whole "april fools" jokes.... although they are hilarious, i hate them being done on me.  i warned dave not to pull anything, and luckily... he listened.  actually nobody pulled any april fools jokes on us eggett's. yes!

<< dave's company is really starting to grow.  they are currently looking around for a location, they have been mobile for a little over a year now.  dave is so excited for this new chapter with his business.  i just hope they will be able to get into the building that he so badly wants! i'm really proud of him for working so hard.

<< baby showers start this month!! and the whole moving process has already begun.  our lease isn't up until the end of may,  but with how much both dave and i hate moving we are starting early and slowly moving things out. {our plan is to move in with the parents to save as much as possible for a home of our own.  we really want to build! :)}

<< does anyone know where i can find a really cute one piece swim suit or tankini? that is very fitting.  i'm going to do you all a favor and cover this mom-belly once this babe is here. ;)

easter 2013

dave and i spent easter, 2013 up in the mountains.. shooting guns and goofing off.  we didn't even get anything from the easter bunny this year.  i figured, for one; it's probably not good to add all that junk food onto my pregnancy diet and two; we'll just wait until next year when we have a little child. the weather was amazing, and i loved spending all day with dave.  just the two of us.
