Day 7: A picture of your most treasured items

Day 7: A picture of your most treasured items. My most treasured items are

My family

and my wedding rings!

(Nice swollen pregnant fingers and all! Haha!)

Another thing that I treasure the most but I forgot to take a picture of is a blanket that my grandma made for me when I was a very little girl. Since she and my grandpa had my mom at such an older age(they were in their mid 40's and instead of being pregnant she thought she was going though menopause!!!) my grandma made the blanket for my mom to save for me as a wedding present when I got married. I am so thankful that she thought of doing something like this for me. It was such a shock when I was at my bridal shower and read a card that said it was from her. It is just an old quilt, but it is so warm and I love it so much!

We had a doctor's appointment for Addison today and everything looks great! She is measuring right on track, my weight gain is right on track, and he heart beat is at 167! Healthy girl makes me a happy Mom! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful, healthy family and so thankful that God has blessed me so much!

Andrew came home yesterday and told me that some of the kids from his school googled our names and found my blog. My blog is mostly for personal reasons and it helps me keep track of what is going on in our everyday lives, kinda like a digital scrapbook. It was also started for our family who lives away from the area. It is nice for them to see pictures of what is going on and to read about what we are doing. However, with that being said, if you just like to read our blog or you are one of the WC students feel free to read all you want! I hope it helps you understand that we are just an ordinary family, nothing special, but you also understand how important God is in our lives. He has walked with us for such a long time, been there when we needed him, and is there for us no matter what. I just pray that you also have a wonderful relationship with our Lord and if you don't or you have any questions, I will do my best to try and answer them! Happy Reading!

Day 6: A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day

Today's theme in the 30 day photo challenge is "a picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day". Well here you go:

There is no one that I would want to trade places with. I love the life that the Lord has blessed me with. I know that some may have more money or glamore in their life but my life is perfect just the way it is. I have a wonderful family, a husband who loves me, a little girl who is the light of my life, and another little angel on the way. I have a Lord who died on the cross for me, parents who taught me so much about life and who love me unconditionally, friends who always know what I need to hear, and a job that I enjoy. If you look at this picture of me and my girls(Addison is obvious in this one!) ask yourself if you were me, would you want to be anyone else? I didn't think so! Have a blessed Wednesday!

(P.S. If you are wondering why I have not posted for a few days here is the reason. I work M-F and only have Internet access on those days. We decided that since Andrew and I both have Internet at work we did not need it at home. It is nice that way because we do not have a bill and no Internet to occupy us! We had any extended break from work last week, which was nice, and then had a unexpected day off because of some terrible storms that ripped through our area. Lots in the area did not have power and we have a few confirmed tornado's within a few minutes of my house. I am very thankful that we did not have any damage to our home and that no one was hurt! Praise the Lord! )

Day 5: A picture of your favorite memory

Our Wedding Day

The first time I saw Calleigh right after she was born

The day we found out Calleigh was going to be a big sister

Without words, you can just look and see why these are my favorite memories. I am looking forward to when we can add Addison to these! I am blessed beyond words to have all three of these blessings in my life!

Day 4: A picture of your night

My nights usually consist of the following:

I get off work and drive home to Calleigh and Andrew or if Andrew has something going on that night, I go and pick Calleigh up from my Mom and Dad's house. We go home, eat supper, play outside(if it is warm enough)

or inside(if it is windy or cooler outside).

Then we get ready,

take a bath,

eat some snacks(cause I am pregnant after all!) and go to sleep. That is what happened at the Wibbeler house on a normal night!!!

There are nights when we got to a basketball game and get home late, or we go shopping on hang out with friends and then we also get home a little later.

Day 3: A picture of the cast from your favorite show

Grey's Anatomy

General Hospital

The Bachelor/The Bachelorette

These are my favorite three TV Shows. I love them all! I have NEVER missed a single episode of any Bachelor/Bachelorette since it started! And I am not ashamed to admit that!

Some other shows that I also really enjoy watching are Castle, Hawaii 5-0, CSI: New York, CSI: Las Vegas, CSI: Miami, Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, and Army Wives! I occasionally also enjoy watching Dancing with the Stars(from time to time), American Idol(auditions only), and if I am bored House Hunters and Say Yes to the Dress!

What kind of TV shows do you enjoy watching?

Here is a update on what's happening with Addison:

I'm 26 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 26 weeks and 1 day

Size of baby: Addison is the size of eggplant and now almost 2 pounds!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 14lbs.

Maternity Clothes: A good mix of both maternity and my regular clothes!

Gender:It's a girl! Addison Grace Wibbeler

Movement: She is a crazy mover! She's all over the place!

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good! I am very tired most nights, so sleep is easy for me!

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach and rough housing with Calleigh!

Cravings: Salty foods, BBQ chips, pickles, chocolate(which I normally do not like!)

Symptoms: Lots of movement when I am still and showing for sure!

Best Moment this week: Beginning to get her room ready and my surprise present from my wonderful co-workers...the Vera Bradley Baby Bag in the Folkloric pattern! PERFECT!!!!

We had a wonderful weekend. Friday night we went to Menard's and bought some shelving and then went to eat, Saturday we hung the shelves and cleaned out Addison's room(now all we have to do is paint!) and went to the last WC home basketball game and on Sunday we spent the afternoon with each other, watching TV and movies and just enjoying the day as a family! It was so much fun! For Valentine's Day last week Andrew bought me this

and it so special to me. There was a time when I did not even know if we could have any children and now we have one special blessing here and another on the way! My heart is so full of love and happiness. I have been blessed with a wonderful life and never want to take that for granted! Hope you all have a great week! Happy President's Day!

Day 2: A picture of you and the person you have been the closest with the longest

So, today is a picture of you and the person you have been the closest with the longest. This is an older picture from my wedding day, September 17, 2005. After my parents and Andrew, Andrea is the person I am the closest with. She has been my best friend since our first day of college. Ironically, we have known each other since 6th grade. We had lockers side by side (since our last names were Hays and Harvey) but the only words that were ever spoken were "Hi". We had different groups of friends, were in different classes, and did not involved ourselves with the same groups and clubs in school. We even sat side-by-side on graduation day.

When we got to college, our lives changed completely. On the first day we found each other in the commons area, not knowing anyone else, decided to eat lunch together. And from that day forward we have been inseparable. Our lives have followed the same path. We both went 4 years in college together, graduated, got engaged within 6 months of each other(to best friends none the less), got married within 9 months of each other, both searched for the perfect SUV, then hers was stolen a few months after she got it, I got mine, and 4 months later it burned in a fire, then both found out we were expecting with 5 months of each other and had beautiful little girls. Now, she had her second and I am having my second(both little girls again).

She is the best friend I could have ever asked for. She is there when I need her and our lives are totally in sync with each other. Our husbands are still best friends who coach basketball together, our daughters love playing together, and we have the best times together. We both have a love for the Lord, that has grown over time together as well. I am thankful to have her to pray with and talk to. She truly is the epitome of what a best friend should be and I am so thankful that God blessed me with her as my best friend. She means the world to me.

And all of the reasons above are the reason that she is the person I have been the closest with the longest outside of my family.

Day 1: A picture of yourself with ten facts!

Day 1: A picture of yourself with ten facts:

1. My favorite color is pink. Any shade. I love it!

2. My birthday is April 5.

3. I hate anything fried. I do my best to totally skip fried foods at all expenses.

4. I collect Willow Tree Angels and Figurines.

5. I hate having socks on my feet and love getting pedicures!

6. I have done almost everything in the order I always wanted to: graduate high school, go to college, graduate college, get married, get a good job, buy a house, buy a car, get my master’s degree, have a baby, have another baby……….the only things that might be left are have another baby (possibly), go on a vacation to Disney with my girls and Drew, and go on an anniversary trip with my husband.

7. I have a wonderful relationship with Jesus. I was saved when I was 17 years old, baptized when I was 22 years old, and recently recommitted myself to the Lord once again when I was 26. I have done so much better at stepping out of my comfort zone and letting him lead me.

8. I love to cook. I am actually going to make some freezer meals this weekend for when Addison comes in May!

9. I do not like chocolate (unless I am pregnant!!!)

10. I used to love to shop and spend money, but now the only people I shop for are Andrew, Calleigh, and Addison. Sure would be nice to win a shopping spree for just me!!! My shopping consist of scrapbooking items and groceries. I am also now shopping for a new blog look if anyone has any ideas!
