Updating ...again...

 i've been horrible at updating my blog lately, you know that whole having a baby thing really throws you off :) So heres lots of pics

Welcome Natalie Grace

Our Beautiful Natalie Grace entered the world 3 weeks early on October 17th at 5:15 am. Weighing 6 pound 13 ounces, 18.9 inches long.

A big surprise for John and I when the Dr decided to induce me early due to high blood pressure and a killer headache. After hours in the ER and hours in the birthing unit on monitors. Little Natalie had a few drops in the heart rate so they decided it was time. I was induced Sunday afternoon. and Little Natalie was born sunday morning

33 weeks

Moving along! Well I'm am 33 1/2 weeks and feeling huge already. Cant believe how fast time is flying by. We are starting on the nursery in about 2 weeks, cant wait to get it done! We have already started moving our room around (getting ready for the bassinet) and de-cluttering the house. My motherinlaw is throwing me a baby shower next month! I'm so excited to see friends and family and be able to have some fun. and ofcourse a bunch of cute baby things :)

Bailey has been doing awesome with her potty training! I'm so proud of her we have been diaper free for just over a week now. A few accidents here and there when she gets distracted but overall shes doing amazing! happy to get one bum out of dipaers before we have another! She looks pretty cute running around in her "big girl" undies! She picked out princess ones..lol

Feelin Crafty..

Its been so hectic lately and i haven't had time to finish the many projects ive started..(or somewhat started) So i got that urge today to complete like EVERYTHING! lol I dont think i can do everything i want. (some require power tools and my husband thinks pregnant ladies should not use those) haha Anyway. I'm gonna take some pictures and hopefully get these done today and tomorrow hopefully Bailey will go with the flow!

I already have that killer nesting feeling going on. I hope i don't feel like this for the next two months, its wearing me down! I'm ready to complete the babys room (my expensive taste is holding that back a bit DANG IT) lol But I also want to paint like every other room in this darn house. Whew Its exhausting to think about.

So i guess step by step i will get these done, and room by room the house will be done.

29/30 week bump pictures

I took these pics this past week so they do say 29 weeks. I'm officially 30 weeks today! :)

Baileys New do

End of August

I've been a sucky blog updater! My last post was in July and now we are at the end of August. So sorry! well lets see, whats new? Summer is coming to an end all the kiddos are back in school. I'm so happy to have  few more years of morning cartoons and snuggles. I'm so not ready for the mad school dash and sending little girl away all day.

We experienced our first earthquake this week...yes here in Va! It was pretty scary! I'm glad i wasn't home alone. actually i was at my moms house Tuesday morning (the23rd) and Bailey was getting a haircut! (we will discuss that next) Being in the basement i guess it wasn't as bad as other felt is but the drop ceiling started shaking and the house was rumbling i thought something was about to explode! i looked at my mom and she looked at me AH! Talk about the face of panic. Her living in Cali she knew what it was and ran outside.I think it took hours for my heart to beat normal again. When i went back home i discovered a pictures had fallin off our bookshelf and the exhaust fans in our bathrooms all opened up. Nothing horrible but our little town lost many old buildings and a few friends and family members lost their homes. Needless to say we were very blessed.

OK on the haircut! Ive debated for weeks on cutting Bailey long pretty hair into a bob. Went back and forth on the pros and cons then said Ah! Its hair its grows. So we just did it!!!  and it is sooooo stinking cute! I was hoping to get that baby look back but no she looks even older now...Go figure! Will post pics on next post..

And one more item of news......

I am 30 weeks today! whoo hooo

July happenings

Wow the summer is almost over! July is halfway through! We have been enjoying the warm (HOT) weather and have been outside everyday this week. These past days have been beautiful though! Warm 70's with a breeze. Perfect weather! I finally have a tan this year! WHOO HOO i feel like me and again..well besides the big baby bump I'm rocking ;) Bailey even has a cute tan and a little white Bum! haha My fav part of summer! Shes been having a blast with the two girls i've been watching durning the week. She thinks they are her personal playmates. ( they actully might be somedays lol) We have been enjoying time with family aswell. We had the Clubbs over for a cookout last night and had a blast! Gotta love summer nights!! Nothing beats burgers on the grill and good times with friends and family!

We leave in exactly one week for vacation!! I CANNOT wait!!! I want to stick my toes in the warm sand and hear the waves! Bailey has been talking about the beach for the past month, cant wait to see her little face light up once we get there. I'm so excited to spend some time with family! My two big brothers and my cousins will be there with their families. Its really been way too long since Ive seen any of them! My grandma planned this awesome trip and I couldn't thank her more!! Shes a special woman and us grandkids are incredibly lucky to have her! Love you Grandmom!! :)

I'm 24 weeks on the dot today. Time is flying by and we are getting closer and closer to November! This pregnancy has really seemed to go by fast. The baby has been moving like crazy and you can even see it now. Its like nothing youve ever experienced one of the most amazing feelings I cant even begain to explain it. Anyone who has had a baby knows what im talking about. Its unbelievable, best feeling in the world. Nothing like creating life! I feel so blessed as a woman to be able to take on the duty of pregnancy and motherhood. (besides all that other woman stuff ugh) :)

Clubb baby # 2 update

Well we had our ultrasound last week and drum roll please.........da da da daaaaa We are thinking Pink Once more! That right another girl to the Clubb name :) Cant wait to be super obnoxious and match them everyday :) muah haha Nothings cuter than matching sisters! So the name is pretty much set and the nursery theme is under way! Yay for girls!

20 1/2 weeks Preggers

Do I look pregnanter...? is that a word... haha Anyway! Getting bigger by the weeks as they fly by. Cant believe I'm halfway through, feels like we just found out! My first ultrasound is on Tuesday! Hopefully this one has no modesty like our other and we can see the goods! ;) Taking Votes!!!! Boy Or Girl!?

Me, I'm 23..

......well 23, not so different from 22. LOL so not a big Birthday But a great one. I enjoyed having my husband here to celebrate with me this year and The Rascal Flatts concert on my birthday. But most important spending it with family!

Woke up to breakfast in bed and a lovely homemade card by my husband and Daughter, had a awesome Birthday lunch with The Clubbs (dragon chef..yummmmmm) My Mother-in-law (McIntoshs) and Madi came to Babysit Bailey while we were at the concert.Then Sunday had a birthday dinner at my moms house with the rest iof the crazy family. What a treat it was to celebrate with everyone!

Flatts Fest 2011

John and I were able to go see Rascal Flatts on my Birthday last saturday, it was sooo much fun. I havent been to a concert in years (obviously) A great show like always! Weve seen them twice before and im pretty sure they get better everytime. The first Rascal Flatts we went to was in 2006.. (geeze seems so long ago) We were dating and he was about to leave for Bootcamp. We enjoyed the show and sat in the parking lot full of traffic after the concert....(little did i know that was the plan) As we sat and talked, He pulled out a Ring... A promise Ring.. He told me in short time that we had been dating he loved me and didnt want to loose me while he was gone. He told me to wait...to PROMISE to wait for him...The rest of the story is history... as most of you know what has happened since. What fun it was to share that special concert with him again. It brought back so much love and passion that we seem to forget we have durning our busy, tireing and diaper changing days. I still love this man as much as the day i married him, if not more.

18 weeks...(last week)

Yup Thats my 18 week baby bump! I'm not officially 19 weeks as of Saturday, cant believe im almost halfway through!

Loves me at my worst....

Between the raging pregnancy hormones and the lack of money to pay bills. John and I have have both been grumps the past few days. I hate that feeling like you wanna hurt someone but theres no one you want to hurt.... does that make sense? Any woman who has ever PMSed knows that feeling. LOL

So Saturday both of us made a pact to relax and enjoy the weekend. It was hard at first to just let go. Then it felt so good to relax. My biggest problem is relaxing, i get so stressed and upset when things just dont work out. You would think after almost 23 years of nothing going as planned i would learn, but no.

John always seems to know what to say to help me let go of whats bothering me..(sometimes) ;p Anyway Ive always loved a Quote from Marylin Monroe...."I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." ...It always make me grateful to have such a loving and forgiving husband. I know we get on each others nerves and sometimes just want to run away. But no other Man could love me the way he does.

Sometimes you just need to sit back and think of all the great things in your life and not all that is going wrong. Wow are we blessed people! We are happily married for over 3 years now, we have a beautiful daughter and another baby on the way. We OWN a house at 23 and 22 years old. Johns has a career with great hours. We survived a year deployment. We have AMAZING family members that are always there for us. We may not have all that we WANT but we have all that we NEED.

I love my life and really couldn't be more blessed. (Sometimes we just need a reminder whats important.)

Working on Forever

The Bump!

Heres the 15 week BabyBump! ...Pretty bump-tastic :)

Baby Clubb # 2 Update...

Yes, I peed on all those..... ;)

So as of today I'm a touch over 15 1/2 weeks! Yay i can hardly believe I'm that far along already seems like we just found out! We got to hear the heart beat for the first time a few weeks ago and go back next week to hear it again..Then in about 4-5 weeks Its ULTRASOUND time!! I cant keep in the excitement! John keeps saying it would be fun not to know the sex..i don't think i could do that. I would explode! haha Besides the fact everything is pink so if its a boy were totally screwed..haha I'm beyond excited. They are not lying when they say every pregnancy is different... So true! Ive been sicker and way more tired (but i am chasing a toddler around) Also I'm already showing! Ive got a super baby bump already. I asked the Dr about it because i though it was crazy. He said Nope Your cramp more (SO TRUE AGAIN) and show faster with your 2nd child. So its been quite different, but still enjoying very step! Being pregnant is so exciting. Ive started to feel little movements and cant wait for the big ones!

Mommy's Day

Insanely Blessed? Yes that would be me!

Cant believe how lucky I am to be a mommy to this beautiful little girl. Bailey has changed my life in SO many ways and i wouldn't change it back for anything. Shes my everything, i don't know what i would do if i couldn't wake up every morning to this sweet face. Watching her learn, grow and explore is so rewarding. Knowing that you created this little life is the most amazing feeling. I love watching life through the eyes of my child. Everyday is new and exciting! I never know what to expect from her! I love how little simple things can bring such joy to her. I love watching her eyes light up when something excites or fascinates her. Its truely amazing the things we can learn from a child.

Bailey Mackenzie Clubb you ARE my life. I love you!

Easter 2011

We got to enjoy our 2nd Easter! In the same weekend as her Bday party... Whew that was an exhausting weekend!! Bailey deffanitly had a blast though! Us old people were tired ;) We got to do an Easter egg hunt at home and at Gma Turners.

Bailey's 2nd Birthday was Minie-tastic!

Baileys Birthday was a blast! Had lots a great friends and family over to celebrate! Shes such a loved child! I still cant believe my baby is 2! Shes such a little independent girl and likes to everything by herself now. Which can be lots of fun......lol I call her my sourpatch kid. You know first their sour then sweet. hahah Thats her too a T! In all seriousness shes a good girl and extremely smart. I love that I'm able to be home with her everyday. I love watching her learn and grow. Shes been such a huge blessing in our lives! Words cant express how much i love this Wild Child! :)

We couldn't be more excited to welcome another little one in our lives. I think i almost forgot how it feels to hold a baby. I can hardly Bailey will be two on Sunday! It seems almost impossible. But there is no doubt she is almost two... I feel the wrath of the twos coming on hard! LOL the tantrums and defiance is just well..."lovely". Ill be taking pictures of the sinker today so be prepared for super cuteness :)

Beauty shop

Oh I love having a Girl ;)

Hot Little Momma :)

Long time no see ;)

Oh my dearest Blogger! It has been way to long! Well my computer croaked and its been hard trying to stay up to date on everything from my Iphone and and blogging, well that's just out of the question. So i computer napped Johns laptop for a bit to get some stuff done.

So as Bailey slowly destroys all the cleaning i did today I'll update you all on our Lives.


Our new house is ....well AMAZING! I know i told you all i would post pics but hey guess where those pics are..?? Yes MY COMPUTER! So I'm gonna take a few later and download them to Johns. We are settling in nicely, have painted two room so far the kitchen and B's room. Still slowly picking our colors for everything else. We finally have most of my pictures up! I hate bare walls!!! But all in all WE ARE LOVING IT!! Whoo hooo for being homeowners at 22 and 23 :)


Bailey is growing way to fast and needs to slow down. She will be 23 months tomorrow, Crazy!? I know! I spent today cleaning and working on invites for her 2nd Birthday! It doesn't seem possible. I just had her How can she be two!? I love spending every moment with her, I'm so lucky to be able to be at home with her. I cant even imagine missing out on her life. She's the silliest, sweetest and smartest little girl. She can count to ten and LOVES to sing. Dancing is a everyday or more like every moment thing, Anytime she hears music she starts to grove. Shes quite the booty shaker. I have NO idea where she gets that from ;)

Well Life has been simply grand, to say the least. We are so happy with our house and our life together. We have been enjoying the peace and love in our home. So many more new adventures we are embarking and will have lots of news to share soon. But for now I will leave you by saying MORE TO COME :)

I could not ask for more.

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
Yeah

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Oh, here with you here with me
No, I could not ask for more
Than this love you gave me
Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
No, yeah
No, I could not ask for more

Life is so amazing right now. Every moment seems so perfect. John and I layed in bed last night and talked for hours just giggled and reminisced about the past, things when we were young and things when we were dating its little moments like that, that keeps our love alive. I love that we can just talk for hours. John is truly my best friend. We have had a crazy past few weeks we've been running a million miles an hour and trying to play catch up on everything sometimes we forget about us. The past few days we've really tried to slow it down and smell the roses. John graduated from the academy on Thursday and he was baptized on Saturday. He has one more week of school and hes done! I cant wait to have the 8-5 hours back in our lives! The long long days just plain suck. John and I are trying to make a conscious effort to put God in our lives. Living everyday with more intent. We are praying together and as a family. We are studying the scriptures and working towards a bigger goal. We have plans of being together for all time and eternity and not just till death. John is my Soulmate, hes my everything. He is a strong and amazing man. I'm a lucky girl ;p ....and i could not ask for more

Had to share

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE......Getting back up is LIVING



This quote made my day and felt the need to share it. Enjoy! :)

New Year, New Us.

My heart is so full right now. This new year has brought so many great new things with it. We bought a house!!! A beautiful 3 level townhouse. We are so excited to be in our first home. Its amazing to wake up every morning a place that's OURS! Its still so surreal and Bailey is having a blast! We have decided to get back into Church and put God back into ours lives. Its amazing the difference it makes. The gospel has so many blessings to offer. We want Bailey to be raised with the church in her life. We just switched out her crib to a toddler bed. Shes now in a BIG girl bed and doing awesome! (pics included) And we are thinking about having another one soon maybeee. Bailey needs a little brother or sister! lol John even said so!!! Ive been talking about it for the past few months but hes finally ready as well. We are not trying yet, but we shall see ;p John is just about done with this training for the Sheriffs Dept. He's loving all that hes learning and enjoying his new career. (it feels so good to say career not job)I'm so proud of him!! Our lives are finally falling into place and its feels so good. We are HAPPY plain and simple just HAPPY!

Pictures of the house will come soon!
