What we've been up to!

Not too much new here in the Fisher home. Getting ready for this baby...getting so anxious to see if it will be a boy or girl! I'm still working twice a week, but other than that i'm soaking up my one on one time with Riley...we are preparing her "big girl room". She will hopefully be in it by the end of the week, i will DEFINETLY post pictures of her first reaction...seeing her "big girl bed and pillow" that we've been talking up, her "new" play kitchen (mine when i was little and still missing half of it until we can find it in my mom's attic!) and her "dress up station"...we've been very careful to keep the door shut so she can't see anything going on in there...not sure why it's such a big deal to me to have it be a surprise but why not?!
I'm feeling quite big, round, full...ready...I often have day dreams of the dr. saying "oh wow, you are super dilated...you should get to the hospital asap and have this baby!" ha, that probably won't happen though. I am still enjoying being pregnant, i think this baby is faced up/out (however you want to look at it) with all his/her limbs pressed right against the front of my belly because i can feel all the movements so well, my favorite is when i can feel an elbow or knee slide by. My heart burn is getting just out of control, luckily i gave into tums...what a life saver, i'm telling you, by the end of the day i can't even drink water without something trying to squeeze back up...there really is just no more room...which i have come to realize is a great diet, i take about 5 bites of food and i'm stuffed! (but then about 20 min. later i'm hungry again haha)
Josh is doing great, just finished the closet...see picture below! He has been working around the clock on that prjoect and it really has payed off...now he's starting riley's closet, it will be much less involved but definetly needs a few shelves and a couple bars...He joined our church softball league and his first game is this week, he seems to be pretty excited, his whole team is family i believe, cousins and brothers so it should be a blast, i'm excited to watch him play.
Riley is doing great, she is learning so much and still surprises us daily...a few funny things she's said lately that i can think of right now "what time is it babe?" after putting on a watch she asked this to josh..hehe OH the best one( i hope i have posted this already, if i did, sorry i forgot!)....i was putting on her lotion after her bath and she said something about her "gina" and i said "yes, girls have a vagina and what do boys have?" she takes a second or two and says "ARMPITS!" she just noticed josh's hairy armpits a few days before and we told her boys have hair in their arm pits..too cute. than the next day i was coloring with her and we colored elmo's eyes and i said "what color are mommy's eyes?" riley-"brown" me-"what color are riley's eyes?" riley-"brown" me-"what color does daddy have?" Riley-"Penis" hahaha too funny. A few things she's really into right now are jumping, anywhere and all day long, just jumping in place shouting "alex and leah time" -two characters from a dvd she used to watch a lot. she loves disney movies, but always wants to watch "the girl one" little mermaid. She is getting into those terrible twos, not too bad so far, unless she is tired, she just has a mind of her own but usually is so so sweet and POLITE. she says please and thank you for jsut about everything, and sometimes just says thankyou and we have to ask what for :)
Well enough of this update, i think you can tell we are doing well..I am going to take belly pictures this week...so i'll post those asap!
Labor day-me and riley (above) just relaxing and with her cousin hailey and "opa" (grandpa in german) below...think she has enough floaty things on? she loves her wings so she can be on her own, but that day she really loved being pulled around in all the baby stuff

Trip to ford park to feed the ducks

"Shut the door Mommy!"-this girl likes her privacy...she makes me shut the door and she tells me when she is done...although a few times lately she tries to get off by her self just getting stuck further in the seat :)

Some fun with her cousins, Maddy-left and Morgan right

Our closet is FINISHED! Oh man, so i need to search for some kind of "My husband is a stud" contest and enter josh. He built this closet and it is beautiful! He designed our closet-he measured my dress and skirt lengths, our different types of clothes-dress, work polos, pants, tee's, etc. He bought the wood, cut, sanded stained and prepped the closet, ripped out the dumb single rack in there, patched, painted and installed his beautiful work of art! Now that is finished he is out of suitcases-the first time since we moved in, over a year and a half! The closet is full of clothes and everything fits so PERFECTLY! He really does amaze me, all the things he can do...my stud! The pictures dont' really do it justice, next time your over i'd love to show off more ;)

  9. For some reason this post just made Riley seem so grown up and such a big girl! The things she says are too funny. Seeing her on the potty is adorable! And how fun that she will have a big kid room. I think you are smart to keep it a surprise...it will be so much fun for her!
    And so sorry about the heartburn. Hang in there...the end is quickly approaching!
