Weekly Updates with Pictures

I guess I missed last week's update, which was the official 6 month mark, whoops!

Doctor appointment this week, everything went well! Got to see baby again on the ultrasound and things look good. Baby was shy and had a hand over the face most of the time, but the tech was able to get a few good pictures.

 When Baby finally moved the hand from the face we were able to see some of the face in 3D! Check out that curled lip?!

The Hubster's Birthday & Cake Decor

Happy Birthday Joshy! Another year older and twice as much more goofy, I love it. I hope your day is amazing and the whole year brings so many new adventures.

Here's the cake I made for him. Yellow cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting, a famous birthday tradition to have this frosting. I made a twist adding some decor on top. Some mountains, to remind him of Colorado. However, I only had green and blue, perfect for mountains but added a sun at the top, oh well you get the idea.

I love you :)

{Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love}

I've had this song stuck in my head since February. Not consistently, but it's always there. It has been stuck in my head since my dad passed away. I heard it in the car when I was back in Colorado every single time I was in the car and wasn't sure what it meant. I love the song, but why did it keep coming on? I fully believe that people talk to me through music. So I'm guessing this is somehow a way that I'm being talked to. 

Some hidden meaning that I have taken from this song:

1. "My head is stuck in the clouds"...well I'm a weather person and he knew that I loved weather

2. "We'll watch the world from above"...well he is watching from above now.

3. "We may only have tonight"...make the most of the time you have with the ones you love. Honestly.

4. "Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love"...he loved music and would always play music, mostly Jazz but quite a variety.

5. "And long after I've gone, You'll still be humming along, And I will keep you in my mind"...I still hum and hear your voice and tears come to my eyes when I think of you and you are always in my mind.

While this song might have more of a romantic meaning behind it, at least to the guys who wrote/sing it, I think it has a bit of a different meaning to me. This is just one song and just one way I think he's talking to me. Tears still come to my eyes when I hear it, but I turn it up and sing right along.

My head is stuck in the clouds
She begs me to come down
Says "Boy quit foolin' around"
I told her "I love the view from up here
Warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the rhythm of love"
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love

My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
A beautiful song to be sung
She's got blue eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when she's laughing at me
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine

Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love

When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry

Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba baba
Da da-da dum da-da dum
Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba
Da da-da dum da-da dum

And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love

New Name & Look

Making some improvements and updates to the page. Changed the name, thedeweymess.blogspot.com since it is no longer just Josh and I :) Also, gave the page some new colors and looks. Hope you like it! (Thanks for the suggestion Leota!)

So after tonight if you follow this blog you'll want to update your settings and point our blog to thedeweymess.blogspot.com . I'm not sure if it will still send you updates if you have our old address.

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Dairy, where have you been...

Yes, that is what I have been thinking to myself since I've gained the hunger bug about 9 weeks ago. That was when the "I-feel-like-I'm-going-to-throw-up-every-second-of-the-day" feeling left me and I am now hungry. I've had my share of dairy, about the normal person's dairy intake, and I haven't had any problems. Apparently this baby doesn't think I have a lactose problem. Cheese and ice cream here we come! Not together though, now that is gross!

Other than that, that is about the biggest "weird" thing so far in this pregnancy. I've been super hungry but my portions are getting smaller, as I eat many, MANY times throughout the day so I don't eat much at one sitting. Not to worry, I'm hungry about 2 hours later.

Here's a weekly update for you all...seeing as how I missed last week due to some visitors:

How fast does hair grow?!

I've been pretty well known to have long hair for quite some time. And back in high school I'd cut about 8 inches off every summer and start over. About 2 years ago I cut off 12 inches to donate and here we are again with long hair.

I have some help growing mine this time: hormones.

So what's it gonna be? I'm 5 1/2 months along. If I cut 4-5 inches off do you think it will grow back before September? I'm not too scared to lose the length, but I don't want to go super short.  A nice healthy cut would be nice, especially since it will be 115 degrees here soon and I'll need all the help I can take to stay cool. 

We'll see what happens. But I'll likely cut my hair. Looking for a new change.

On the Menu: What's for dinner?

Ok everyone I need some advice, suggestions and ideas. Please send all of them my way. I'm looking to make a bunch of food to have in the freezer so when its 115 degrees out this summer and I'm as big as a cow (pregnant) and don't feel like cooking I can pop something out of the freezer and into the oven/microwave to eat. This will also help once baby comes and I don't have the time to cook up something amazing.

{Image found here}

I've only come up with a few, very few, ideas and want to know what others think or like. What goes good being frozen and then heated back up?

In the meantime, I'll be back in the kitchen cooking up some yummy food ideas. One bonus to being pregnant, because there are quite a few bonuses, is being hungry ALL THE TIME and almost EVERYTHING sounds good to eat. Nothing too weird over here for me.

Any suggestions or challenges anyone has for me to cook will also be gladly taken into consideration (meaning if I can do it or not!).


Happy Eating and thank you for your ideas!

And since I found this over on my friend Amy's blog, I thought I'd join in since it's Friday and all :)
