My Avocado

So as of this past Monday, Baby Stokes is the size of an avocado (or 4 1/2 inches long). Matt and I laugh because the websites tell us what fruit or vegetable the size of the baby is and they differ so much from one to the other. I am 16 weeks along and today I had an appointment. Once again it was great relief to hear the baby's heartbeat! Baby's heartbeat was at 146 BPM. Matt is soo funny he mimics the heartbeat and it just makes me laugh to hear and watch him do it! HAHA! I need to videotape him! HAHA!

Happy Easter!

Flowers are a sure sign of Spring! Karen really enjoyed gardening and did a lot of it around the house from what I know. Well, for the first few years we'd have 1 lily grow out each Spring. The lily is no longer there but this year our rose bushes in our entry way blossomed beautifully this year! I have gorgeous roses! Matt and I went to church service this morning and then grilled out with Rosemary for lunch. It's a rainy, dreary day....so now we're just laying around after our big lunch! Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

Fort Woof Day!

So today Millie and I went to Fort Woof for the Pooch and Pals Promenade event. She had to be on a leash so that's the reason she did so well, although she did growl at a few dogs overall she was very calm and very well behaved if I say so myself. Kelly and I wanted to get the caricatures so I went ahead and got one with the two of us, we waited in line FOREVER but it was fun watching all the other dogs and Millie got videotaped by Fox News DFW but unfortunately she wasn't shown. Millie and I look like we have similar hair dos??? FUNNY....HAHA!

My Eyeball

So I had an eye appointment today and for the past few years they've been taking a picture of my eyeball. Well, I thought it was pretty cool that this time they offered to give me a copy of my eyes! So here is a picture of my right eye (the left looks the same). I really like where I go which is Eyes Nouveau and specifically go to James for my frames because he is really good at choosing just the right frame for me. The frames I have now have been such a hit! Random people everywhere have commented on my current frames! Stay tuned for my new frames!

Bear Coat

So we found a sale and went ahead and bought this baby coat for Baby Stokes. As I was pulling the stuff out of the bag it occurred to me that we should try it on Millie. HAHA! OH the laughs I had putting this on her. My poor Millie just lets us dress her up like a doll and doesn't ever fight us, she truly is the sweetest dog! (to people!)

Garage Sale Success!

Gosh! What a weekend! I AM super duper exhausted! I can definitely vouch that garage sales are a lot of work (at least the way we do it), but always fun reason I keep doing it! We open at about 7am until about 5pm. Luckily enought we had 4 other neighbors on my block having a garage sale too so needless to say we had a crowd on Saturday. Friday wasn't too hectic but we did have a lot of people. Rosemary said that that's the most traffic she'd seen in all the years we'd done one. We had traffic on our street! Cars parked up and down, it was GREAT! I sold a lot of clothes thank goodness! AND I sold my main goal.....which was a cast iron sink that weighed a ton! We were even willing to give it away because it was so big and bulky, sold for $4! HA!

On Friday morning, I allowed Millie to walk around in the garage while we put stuff out. I asked the girls to keep an eye on her.....well we got a crowd and we all got distracted, next thing I know I call out for Millie and she's not around.......I kept calm until I was out driving around yelling out for her, when the thought that someone in the crowd had taken her kicked in I started tearing up and thinking of what I'd do if she was gone......oh the thoughts were not good, but THANKFULLY in those moments Rosemary called and said that they'd found her! RELIEF!!!!!! She was just focused on exploring and did not respond to her calls (which is normal for her)....she was just about 2 doors down.

In total we sold about $1100! We sold the coon urine for a DIME! HAHA!

Zipper Broke?

So it feels as if almost all my pant zippers have broken....none zip up??? GRRRR My clothes are not fitting right, my shirts look too tight or short.....I just look like a dork right now! I can't wear anything right....it feels as if almost this happened overnight, although my clothes have been feeling snug but as of today they feel super tight.....I put on a larger sized jean today and they fit fine while I was standing the moment I sat down ugh! they felt awful! I don't see much of a difference in my body but it may just be me. On a positive note my baby is growing!
