31 years old today!

Happy Birthday to me! Wow today I'm 31!!! My family took me out yesterday to my favorite place to eat in Chattanooga. Anyways I seen a saying that i thought was really funny it said  "I still think 1990 was ten years ago!"  that makes me feel very old. I seen an update a couple of years ago on New Kids on the Block on the Block... They were on the TODAY show. They said that they started  20 years ago! I remember dreaming that Jordan would some day be mine! lol time flys!... even though when I see the leggings and neon that the kids are wearing I'm proud to say us 30 somethings started that trend! well off to carpool! ( never thought carpool would be in my vocabulary either !!) But being a mom and wife has been the best gift of all.

under the weather~

Well we have been sick again! To make a long story short over the past 2 weeks its been strep, trip to E.R with Madison because she had a bad virus and was dehydrated ( so she had to get a I.V) While she was there she had a bad reaction to Zofran a drug for nausea. She breaks out from head to toe while there and had to be treated for that as well. Anyways Dolan was sick two weeks ago with a cold or something and this week its my turn. I guess I  just have the "crud" as I call it but I have been running fever coughing and sneezing like 10million times a day!...my doctor called me in a Zpack yesterday so I'm on those for 5 days. So that's how things are going around here!. Thank the lord for my husband, he is always picking up the slack for me so thanks babe for helping me this week I love you.

ASK???

As you know in the last post we confirmed  Allie Kate for our new baby girl's name. Well last night I was on a website playing around with monograms. I went in to show Dolan what Allie's monogram would look like and to my surprise he says ASK??? I'm like WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( I'M SURE IF YOU HEARD A SCREAM LAST NIGHT IT CAME FROM RISING FAWN,GA!!) Allies monogram is ASK?? how could I have missed that?? What was I thinking! Any one that knows me knows this is TRAGIC NEWS!
! lol ha ha anyways so the rest of the night all my friends, my family laughed and laughed and got a kick out of the whole thing. Here is proof of my unfortunate luck lol.

WE HAVE A NAME!!!

OK so Dolan and I confirmed today that our baby girls name will be Allie Kate Sanford. Kate was my great grandmothers name Kate Guffey. Cant wait to start monogramming stuff! yay!!

21 weeks today!

This pregnancy has went by so fast, I'm at the half way point now. which is exciting and scary all at the same time. Today I had a doctor's appointment for the baby. My OBGYN said baby looks great. I'm so glad with this baby my OB's office does ultra sounds every visit! with Madison I think I had 3 the whole pregnancy. As for me I'm feeling great these days... so much better than a few months ago. My family is going on a cruise in March.. Madison is going! she is excited! I'm not going to make this family trip the cruise line don't allow you to go unless you are 20 weeks are less. Oh well maybe next time :(   tonight I made this new recipe and it was really good I must say I have never had a real good Chicken Enchilada recipe until now! I sometimes like watching " 19 kids and counting" and they have a great recipe for Enchilada's.  It's simple and cheap to make. here is the the recipe. I cut recipe in half because it makes 20 enchiladas!

Where does time go?

Madison Kindergarten

Madison 1st Grade

While at my parents a couple of weeks ago Madison came across some pictures that had been in storage for several years. It was a treasure to find because some of them are one of a kind and I had not seen them in many years. Here are some that was in the bunch. Made me a little weepy I must say. The kindergarten picture is hilarious to see now let me explain,The day before school pictures Madison decided to cut her HAIR all by her self that year!  Her hair dresser tried to hide it as much as possible but you can still see where she whacked it!  ( very funny now but was not so much then)  So where does time go? I guess I'm sad that my baby is growing up so fast. She will be 11 years old in August!!  She will always be my little baby girl. I know she is going to make a great big sis.

"The Sanfords plus strep"

You may want to Lysol your screen and keys after this post strep has landed in the Sanford house. Madison started throwing up yesterday and complaining of a sore throat. So today I took her to the quick care because her doctor's office was closed because of new years. Anyways she has strep, I'm pretty sure Dolan has it to.. even though he has not been seen for it. So safe to say the house has got a major spray down with Lysol!! I for sure don't want it. Is it spring yet??? Any one else wishing for coat less days?? Well I guess I need to go and take care of my crew. Goodnight ;)
