I’m still patiently impatiently waiting for baby to arrive! I’ve become quite paranoid and suspicious of every little ache and pain, but so far nothing’s happening. 🙁
We’ve had a lot of fun things going on the past few days though. Today is my sweet husband’s birthday and tomorrow is our 18th wedding anniversary! I’m actually hoping baby doesn’t come today or tomorrow so he can have his own “special” day. We’ll see.
Soooo, as long as baby doesn’t decide to arrive tonight, Kev and I are planning on going on a date! Fun.
I just have to say that I am SO GRATEFUL every single day for the man I married. He is amazing and I just feel so blessed to have him in my life.
I was talking to my little sister a couple weeks ago and I was telling her how much I loved and appreciated my sweet husband. I told her that one of the things I love most about him is that he is SO kind, gentle, calm, humble and sweet (yes, he balances me out!), but he is definitely NOT shy, passive or a pushover. He is an extremely hard worker and a very strong, effective and influential leader.
My sister then said, “He sounds just like Jesus!” I had to laugh and then said, “Why yes, he does!” Kev didn’t quite know what to think when I told him about our conversation, lol!
I love my husband. 😉

Another exciting thing going on ’round here is my 15 year old got his braces off yesterday!
He had his braces on for over 2 1/2 years, so he was VERY happy to get them off! Woo hoo!

I’m also excited and happy that my blog was mentioned in a recent article for the Huffington Post titled, “8 Snacking Habits of Healthy, Busy People.”
I was grateful they included me in it! If you’re interested in reading the article, just click on the image above or you can find it here. 😉

Some of my sweet friends, threw a causal baby shower for me yesterday. Isn’t that so nice? Since this is my SIXTH baby and FIFTH boy, they called it a “diaper and meal shower” and everyone brought me diapers or freezer meals.
As the shower was ending, I snapped a quick picture with some of my friends.
Yes, I have the sweetest friends ever.
Oh, and I also took my 39 Week Pregnant picture a couple days ago. I’m hoping there WON’T be a 40 week picture, lol!
Yes, I’m pretty much wearing the same three dresses these days. I’ve really, really loved my maxi dresses from Old Navy. They are so comfortable and ALWAYS fit!

I also wanted to tell you guys about a VERY FUN package we received in the mail last week. Under Armour sent a fun Back-to-School package for my three youngest boys and they were THRILLED!
They sent each of them a wonderful backpack FULL of darling clothes from their new Back-to-School youth collection.
I’m sure my boys wouldn’t call the clothes “darling,” but I DO! I’m absolutely in love with everything that was sent!
It felt just like Christmas at our house.
They were each sent a pair of the CUTEST COOLEST shoes ever!
Love, love, love! They are so well made and comfortable. My kids have loved them!
Here are some of the other cute things that were sent.
I LOVE that the shoes are color coordinated to match the outfits clothes! Adorable!
I LOVE these things as well!
My boys especially LOVED the nice hoodies that were sent…
These hoodies are AMAZING folks. They are SO SOFT inside, but the fabric on the outside is designed to keep them dry too. I love them so much. My 6 year old has worn his hoodie EVERY day since it arrived…..and it’s 90+ degrees outside, lol.
I love Under Armour so much! The quality, function, durability and style is second to none. My boys also love how comfortable and breathable everything is. The prices are very reasonable too! They are the perfect back-to-school clothes! I’m a happy mom.
Well, that’s the latest on our crazy lives. I sure hope my next post will be about the arrival of our baby boy!!! Fingers crossed.
I hope you all have a wonderful night!
**Disclaimer: I received the complimentary clothing from Under Armour, but the opinions and text are entirely my own, as always! #UANEXT #IWILL
I hope baby decides to let you celebrate your anniversary. Happy birthday to your husband as well! Jesus is a great comparison for sure. Lol.
I’m so happy baby decided to wait so he can have his own day! I laughed so hard about my sister comparing Kev to Jesus. Too funny.
Congratulations on being mentioned in the Huffington Post! That is fabulous! I read the article there as well. So cool.
I really enjoyed reading about your love and respect for your husband. It makes me so happy when I hear about loving and happily married couples. It’s very sad that it sometimes seems you are the exception instead of the rule.
I bet most “experienced” moms would prefer diapers and freezer meals over any other gifts! Your friends were very smart. I love the “It’s a boy again” banner! Too cute!
The UnderArmour backpacks are amazing! I didn’t even know they made shoes. Those packs were so full of good stuff, they were like “Back to school in a box” packs.
Thanks so much Deborah. I was so happy to be included in that article! I am also extremely grateful for my husband and know that I am fortunate. Sadly, there seems to be a lot more unhappy and broken marriages these days. It’s tough.
Love all the Under Armour stuff!!!
And, that picture of Kevin with the boys is so great!!!
Happy birthday to Kevin and Happy anniversary to y’all – hope baby waits so y’all have your own day:)
Thanks so much Kim! We are so happy baby has decided to wait to have his own special day!
That’s awesome that they mentioned you in that article! The under armour swag is fantastic – I bet your boys were stocked! You’re getting so close, sending well wishes your way!
Thanks! I was so honored to me mentioned in that article and we have LOVED our Under Armour gear!
Old Navy maternity clothes are awesome. That’s pretty much all I had.
I’m sure your 15 year old is reveling in the braces free life now. It’s been 15+ years since I got mine off and I remember how it felt that day to finally have them off. It’s great!
Congratulations on 18 years too. That’s a beautiful thing.
Thanks so much Jessica! I’ve loved Old Navy maternity so much too!
You look absolutely fantastic! Your family is also beautiful. I’m seriously loving those sneakers. I need a pair for myself.
Thank you SO MUCH! I loved those sneakers too and said the same thing…..I want a pair for myself!
We love UA in this house!! Good luck to you with the upcoming labor and delivery! I just had my 4th in April, at the end, every day felt like an eternity.
Thanks so much and congrats on your sweet little one. Your baby is probably such a fun age right now! I love the smiles, giggles and coos. I can’t wait!
It might just be me, but it seems the blogosphere is filled with a ton of pregnancy bumps lately.
I am about 6 weeks now, so not quite showing myself.
You seem to be progressing well yourself.
Under Armour is top notch quality…thanks for the great post!
I’ve noticed a lot of pregnant bloggers lately too! Congrats on your pregnancy. I hope everything goes smoothly!!!
Oh my gosh freezer meals are a great idea for a baby shower. I never know what to bring, but I might start doing that.
Yes, I’m so thankful for my sweet friends. It will be SO NICE to not have to worry about dinners for a little bit!
WOW Under Armour HOOKED YOU UP! That is amazing, what a special treat for your boys! The baby is going to be here ANY MOMENT. I totally swooned at all that lovey dovey stuff about your husband, you two are adorable. JUST the way it should be!! <3
We LOVED that fun Under Armour package. My boys were in heaven! We are so excited to meet our sweet baby too. We can hardly wait! I’m truly so grateful for my husband. So so so grateful!
Cute cute post. The boys look so good and happy in their new gear! And it’s so nice to have a good supportive hubby to help run the family-makes life much more enjoyable!! 🙂 huge congrats on the huffington post mention-HOW EXCITING!! Also, one more thing… Good friends-LOVE the idea of a diaper/frozen meal party!! (Any excuse for a party with good friends=awesome)
Thanks so much! I’m so so grateful for my husband. I can’t imagine life without him! I also loved my fun diaper/frozen meal shower. It will be so helpful!
