A Baby On the Way = Spoiled Mother's Day

Hi! So I've made my big announcement, baby Boardman is on it's way.  We don't know if it's a boy or girl yet, I can't wait to find out! It's annoying having to say he/she/it/him/her... I just want to know what to call him/her... hehe.  I call it Lentil.  Early on when I started getting pregnancy e-mails telling me how big my baby was each week, one of the first sizes it told me was that it was the size of a lentil bean. I started talking about it all the time and calling it Lentil and it just kind of stuck. haha! Great nickname right? I don't even like lentils, but I'm gonna love this one!

So I went to Utah to visit for the first time since I moved out here.  It was so needed and so fun! I went on walks with my momma where we got to talk a lot and catch up, went to my favorite restaurants, got a beyond glazed, etc. etc.  It was very laid back, I was sick a lot and wasn't planning as much as I usually would but I loved it regardless.

My Zanny Girl. Always miss her. Oh and the backyard that makes it so hard to leave.

I came back from Utah to a very lonely boy.  He hates when I'm gone I quickly learned, and was counting down the days until I got home.  I didn't think he'd notice since he works so darn much! ;) Apparently I'm loved, can't complain.  I came home and Mother's Day was the next day.  When I walked in I had these lovely flowers sitting on my dresser.  I can't believe how much of a difference fresh flowers make when you walk in! They make me sooo happy! I was so excited about my flowers, they made me feel oh so special! Well, Mother's Day came the next day and I was sick (as usual at this point) so I was just laying in bed for most of the day.  After taking a nap for several hours I woke up and Blake pulled out a present and put it on the bed.  It was way cute, he'd just been waiting for me to wake up so he could give it to me!  I opened it and it was the most amazing camera and a few other things! We haven't had a camera and I'm so excited to finally have one and be able to take pictures of Lentil! Blake's the best. I felt overwhelmed.  I wasn't even expecting anything and was perfectly happy with my flowers.  I'm not even a mom yet!  I always feel like I don't deserve him.  He's my superman.  I don't know how he juggles everything but he does a darn good job!

We took the camera out the next couple of days and tested it out.  We are still learning how to use it but I really like it so far.  I am no photographer, but hopefully I'll get better.

 Here are some pictures we took while trying out our new camera in Central Park.





Love my new camera! Thanks Gooby!! You're my fave :D
