Giveaway winner!!!

Thanks to everyone who entered in my very first giveaway!!

The winner is...

Angie from www.thatangiegirl.com

I used random.org and it chose #5... she had the 5th comment.

Thanks again! And congrats Ang! I'll send your gift card out this week!

Biker dude.

Jaxon got his first "real" bike this summer while we were visiting my inlaws in Iowa at their 4th of July town celebration. He saw it parked in the garage this weekend and kept kicking and screaming for it, so we thought we'd let him take it for a spin.

His feet don't quite reach the pedals, and he hasn't figured out how to make it go on his own... so unless Daddy is pushing him, he just sits on it.

Those dimples... ahh, they make me melt.

Guess if I can't ride it, I'll push it.

Your feet need to grow just a few more inches to ride it ... maybe next summer, buddy.

I wanna be a cowboy, baby.

Lets be real.

Have you ever seen a cuter cowboy?

I know I haven't, and I live in Texas for petes sake.

Thanks Aunt Kallie for the boots! Wish I could say he loves them, but this was a rare occasion that he brought them to me to put on him and didn't scream after they were on his feet.

{hence the not-fantastic picture ... had to capture this smile while it lasted!}

Can't wait to show this to your girlfriend someday, Jax.

Progress.

I keep having break-downs night after night about how I'm no where near being ready for this baby to be born. Seriously, I may have been a little crazy when I was pregnant with Jaxon having my bags packed, nursery complete, 700 diapers ready to be peed/pooped on, etc at like 32 weeks. So imagine my panic when I'm 34 weeks pregnant and do not have any of the above completed, and much less actually.

Here's my list of to-do's:

• Sort through Jaxon's old newborn/0-3 month clothes, cry because half of them are fleece and it will be 70+ degrees when this baby comes, and put them away.
• Buy a dresser, to put the above mentioned clothes away.
• Buy short sleeved clothes / light fabric long sleeves {newborn and 0-3 months} to replace the above mentioned fleece clothes that he won't be able to wear. {thanks, texas!}
• Get out the "baby stuff" and put it all away / set it up. {Boppy, baby tub, swing, bouncer, etc.}
• Buy newborn diapers. Buy any diapers. Just buy diapers. {this one seriously put me in a panic a couple weeks ago when I realized I haven't bought a.n.y.}
• Buy a baby book. Easy enough, you would think, but I can't find any. Any.
• Buy month to month stickers, to take pics on each "month birthday"
• Buy a co-sleeper.
• Buy a diaper bag.
• Buy crib bedding. {Jaxon will use his crib bedding on his new toddler bed, once he moves to his toddler bed, that is.}

See, doesn't that list make you want to cry? Okay, maybe that's my hormones. But it does make me cry. Quite frequently actually.

One night Tyler said "just start buying the stuff. What are you waiting for? You keep crying about it but you're not doing anything about it."

Smart man, he is.

So here's the same list, more up to date, now that I've made some progress.

• Sort through Jaxon's old newborn/0-3 month clothes, cry because half of them are fleece and it will be 70+ degrees when this baby comes, and put them away.
• Buy a dresser, to put the above mentioned clothes away.
• Buy short sleeved clothes / light fabric long sleeves {newborn and 0-3 months} to replace the above mentioned fleece clothes that he won't be able to wear. {thanks, texas!}
• Get out the "baby stuff" and put it all away / set it up. {Boppy, baby tub, swing, bouncer, etc.}
• Buy newborn diapers. Buy any diapers. Just buy diapers. {this one seriously put me in a panic a couple weeks ago when I realized I haven't bought a.n.y.}
• Buy a baby book. Easy enough, you would think, but I can't find any. Any. Thanks Nana!
• Buy month to month stickers, to take pics on each "month birthday"
• Buy a co-sleeper.
• Buy a diaper bag.
• Buy crib bedding. {Jaxon will use his crib bedding on his new toddler bed, once he moves to his toddler bed, that is.}

For what it's worth I looked at buying diapers while I was at Sam's the other day, but they don't carry newborn diapers. C'mon Sams, get it together. You're on my nerves.

Okay, I've crossed 5 things off my list. But it's progress, people. One day at a time. And somehow, I'm confident it'll all work out ... somehow.

A giveaway!

My first ever giveaway ... how exciting. ;)

I got a $10 Target gift card in the mail yesterday from our credit card company as part of our rewards program, so I thought instead of keeping it for myself, that I would pass on the kindness to someone else.

Granted, it's only $10... but it's $10 you didn't have before, and who doesn't love a little extra to spend at Target?

You have THREE chances to win ... here's how to enter!

For one entry, tell me your best guess at Baby #2's name, and what you would do if you could buy anything you wanted at Target - for yourself.

Leave me a comment and say, for example: I think you're going to name your baby Harry Butts, and I would buy a cute pair of flats.

For a second entry, become a follower of my blog. (link at right hand side of page, towards the bottom)

Leave me a second comment saying you're now following me!

For a third entry, blog about this post on your own site!

Leave me a third comment saying you blogged about this giveaway!

The second and third entry's are optional, just an extra way to get your name added in the drawing more than once. :)

The winner will be picked randomly using random.org and will be announced Monday, October 4th.

Good luck!! :)
