A belly picture.. :)

I've been meaning to post some pictures of the view from our roof top garden. I've only got 10 more days to do it before we move!

Here are just a couple. It was a raining yucky day and my photos look so sad. lol I'll try again another day but for now .......

The Pentagon

Arlington Cemetery
 

Washington Monument 

Jefferson Memorial and the Capital Building

Why I should always put away the laundry after folding it.

(Please excuse the mess we're packing up to move! )

It's been too long :)

I feel super horrible that I haven't posted anything in over 2 weeks! Not a whole lot had changed around here. Still house shopping and planning our move, which happens in exactly two weeks from today. :)

Last weekend I enter a contest they mentioned on the morning news and won 2 tickets to a private screening of Knight and Day. The deal was I had to pick up the tickets from the station that day before 5pm and the movie was showing the next night. So, Jonny and I drove down to the station and picked up the tickets. When I got back in the car Jonny asked me what we had to wear to the screening. I thought it was going to be a pretty casual thing but after we got home I got worried about it and googled "what to wear to a private movie screening" not a whole lot came up but the things that did mostly said either a dress and cardigan or dark jeans, a nice top, and a cardigan. I didn't have a dress or pants that fit me because my belly has decided to greatly expand in the past couple weeks. Jonny and I ended up finding a Gap maternity and buying me some jeans (which are WAY to long, I need to get them hemmed) and a cute light weight cardigan. Then we stopped by JcPenneys and bought me some Vans Canvas shoes. There was no way I was going to go in heels and figure I could pull off and Ellen look for the night. We spent about$100 on stuff to wear to our free movie. lol Of course once we got into the theater everyone else was wearing flip flops, shorts and t-shirts.. lol Oh well. I'll still get use out of the stuff we bought. :)

Last Tuesday we had our Big ultrasound :) Turns out Peyton is still a girl and everything else looks great. They didn't say anything about Placenta previa so I'm guessing that fixed itself. What was even more exciting happened later that night. I finally convinced Jonny that putting a flash light on my belly wasn't torturing our child and he brought one home from work. We laid down and after just a few seconds of putting the light on my stomach Peyton kicked me hard enough that Jonny felt it for the first time!!! I'm so happy that I get to share these kicks and rolls with him now.

Heres a picture of our little one. They weren't able to get a very good profile picture of her. They even tried to show us in 3D but she just didn't have enough fluid around her face to get anything super clear. and they didn't give us a copy of the 3D picture. lol

My best friend is amazing.

When I was in high school my friend had a baby and told me I was to be his god mom. There was never anything official done, no church ceremony, or anything like that, but it was nice to know she wanted me to have special involvement with her son, Jason.

Fast forward a year or so, I met Laura. I can't remember how long we hung out before I told her that whenever I had a baby I wanted her to be the god mom. I've never been involved in church so I really don't know what is supposed to happen with god parents, but I use it as I did in high school, I want that person to have special involvement with my baby's life no matter if they are blood or not.

Laura is Peyton's god mom and she sent her god daughter a bunch of "commercialized love" today. a huge box from Pottery Barn Kids was delivered to the house and Jonny and I sat around it and opened each beautifully wrapped gift. here are a few things she sent us :)

These ones are all monogrammed:

(the pink bunny one) :)

and just a few days ago she sent these.....

Ah! baby heaven!!!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!
