Our week, In photos:
My Mom & Conrad riding around on his cars:
An outfit I'd love to have, when I'm not shaped like a watermelon. 
I'm in love with the pretty-one sleeve and those gorgeous pants.
What entertains him enough that I can sit on my butt and rest while he plays: pop sickle & chalk 
Home made California rolls:
A {unisex} gift for the baby when he/she is born:
After pouring my {decaf} coffee into my cup, I failed to grab a separate bowl for my cereal and poured my cereal right into my coffee cup.... 
BABY IS EATING MY BRAIN!!! AHHHH!!!

Is friday here yet?! Oh, what's that you say? It's only Wednesday! UGH! This week has been SO long and so hard..... (that's what she said.) Oh no she didn't! But seriously though, has this week been really hard and long for anyone else?! My poor husband came home early (again) to save me from throwing myself off the balcony yesterday. I have been so painfully tired. I worked up until 36 weeks with Conrad, but was at a desk all day, and boy'oh boy is this last trimester chasing a two year old SO much more work than sitting at a desk was (for me). 

I was telling Dustin that my back was aching the other day while I was sitting on the floor playing with Conrad, and Conrad looked up and put his hand on my belly and said, "Jesus name! Amen!" I then realized that he was praying for my back and it got me emotional realizing that all of mommy's crazy talking-to-herself-throughout-the-day might actually be resinating with his sweet two year old heart.
 I love that he "get's" it. He understands that when we need help, we pray. I feel like It took me a very long time for that natural constant conversation/relationship to come with the Lord, but I'm glad that he's starting to understand.

{Have a lovely day!}

  15. Hi chelsea! This is Shelly (Williams) Stolworthy- I'm not sure if you remember me but oh well. I was talking to Keri Stolworthy and she said you posted about cloth diapers. So I stalked you and read a little. I bought some cloth diapers (g diapers) with my 3rd baby and didn't like them. So I sold them and now I just bought some others. I really like them! I got them from the manufacturer for really, really cheap!! ($3.46 a diaper). You have to buy at least 20 though and I bought 50 to get the 3.46 price. The website is alibaba.com. Type in ALVA cloth diapers and check them out. They are in China so the website is a little weird- they don't translate into english very well:) I talked to some of my friends and they said to make sure it has the PUL outside. I like the one size kind but they are bulkier than a disposable diaper. I also recommend the snaps because they last longer than the velcro, but velcro might be a little bit faster to put on. If you have any questions you can call me. 468-6418.
    Good luck!
