Bump Watch

Here are some recent (and not so recent) baby bump photos. As I share these pics, I feel the need to apologize for all the bathroom selfies. I would of course rather use our nice camera to document this pregnancy. But by the time my husband gets home at night, I am already long into my same old yoga pants, sweatshirt, and pony tail. And of course I would much rather document this pregnancy looking decent rather than someone who can't bother to buy another outfit (or style her hair). So for now, enjoy the selfies and the growing bump.

 

Our sweet baby girl!

Halloween and Thanksgiving 2013

Since it has been a little while since my last post, I have some catching up to do. We have had a wonderful fall in the Stidham house so far and we definitely have so much to be thankful for this year.
Here are some Halloween and Thanksgiving pictures of our #1 blessing.

And here is our #2 blessing, due May 31, 2014!

A Day at Busch Gardens

This post is super late since we went to Busch Gardens about 7 weeks ago. I'll just try to play catch up over the next several posts.

Back in August, Blakely and her cousins Eli and Lexie Kate went to Busch Gardens for the day. The kids had so much fun! It was our second trip of the summer but Blakely wasn't really into the rides the first time. This time, she was a little more fearless.

 Our first stop was to see the horse. Blakely enjoyed seeing it but didn't want to pet its head. Next, we let the kids ride the horses. I think this was Blakely's favorite ride of the day.

 

 

Blakely was really afraid of the ladybug ride at first and stayed as close to Lexie Kate as possible.

But it didn't take too long for her to enjoy it more.

Fun at the Beach

I know this post is a little late, but better late than never (which seems to be my motto with most things in life)!

A few weeks ago, we rented a beach house in Nags Head, NC with 4 other couples. Between all of us, there were 10 adults and 6 children four years old and younger. It was such a fun week but definitely a lot of work with so many little ones.

We pretty much spent our days relaxing on the beach and our nights either eating out or cooking for everyone.

The kids had a great time playing together and Blakey still talks about her friends everyday. In fact, as I type this, she's in her crib (not napping) saying all of their names over and over again.

Going out to eat!

 

We had a wonderful time, but like all vacations it definitely wasn't long enough. But I guess the sooner I get this school year started, the sooner I can start planning my next beach vacation!

 

The best night! The girls went out and the guys stayed home with the kids!
