Love my hubby!

On Pinterest yesterday (yes, I'm addicted) I found a 30 day marriage challenge!  I love this idea... why can't I try to be a better wife to Jaredevery day?
Day 1 was supposed ask him if there was anything I could help him with that day.  ShaZAM I did it and he said he didn't have anything for me to do... so I cleaned the house while he was on a bike ride.  He noticed :) 
Day 2 (today) is to go a whole day without correcting him.  I think I'm a little hard to be married to sometimes becuase I don't even realize it when i correct him until after I've done it, and most of the time it's little things that don't matter!  How annoying is that?  He doesn't say anything to me, but I find that I'm kicking myself for it every time.  Today I will NOT correct my husband and I'll continue to do my best to not do that. 
P.S. if you talk to Jared and you're reading this PLEASE do not tell him about my little challenge, that would completely defeat the purpose.
Beckham and Jared went out this afternoon so that I could do some homework.  The alone time was nice but the best part was seeing them all happy when they got home.  They love their daddy/son time! 
Brayson has been keeping me up at night with his constant kicking, hiccuping and moving (don't worry buddy, you'll be out of that little space soon!).  It's fun being pregnant, but sometimes it stinks.  Like when your feet and hands get swollen, streach marks, when you're sweating and everyone else is comfortable and just being the size of a whale in general kind of stinks.  I can't wait to have my little Brayson, not have a belly and be able to buy normal clothes!  I have gained a serious amount of poundage over the last two babies and I think I'll be a far cry from ever being 125 again (my pre-Beckham weight) but I think I'll be able to bounce back to a happy weight in a few years months... hopefully.  :)
It looks like our C-Section date is Monday, November 5, but we're going to try and get it moved to November 3 because Jared has school on Tuesday and I know he will not want to leave our little family for the first few days... he's definitely attached to our little boys.  How lucky they are to have such a great daddy!

RSV... again.

This is time number 3 now!  Poor kid... I feel so bad.  There is ONE good thing that came out of it though- my baby said "Mama" and was talking to me!  He was calling for me! 
Saying prayers for my little boy.

Maryland Trip

Beckham and I were lucky enough to go to Maryland on September 1-13 to spend some time with my family out there!  It was so fun :)  We did so many fun things, including a visit to the pentagon, dinners at my favorite places, dance parties and a trip to the National Zoo! 
When we first got there Beckham was excited (and a little confused) to see his family!  He loved his grandma's braces and snuggled with his grandpa for a good five minutes... if you know this kid you know this is SO out of the ordinary and it was SO cute! 
We loved just hanging out at the house and spent much time dancing, watching Rio, swinging in the hammock, playing on the floor with his aunt and uncles and napping *swoon*.  I was able to take a nap pretty much whenever I wanted and that was pure joy! 
On September 10, Beckham said his first word!  He's babbled "dada" for months now but he actually waved and said "HI!"  It was so cute :) 
On September 11, we went to the Pentagon to visit Dad.  It was so neat going inside.  My favorite part was being in the part of the building where the plane hit.  Right at the impact point there is a room dedicated to those whose lives were lost.
We were definitely sad to go, but we'll see them in November.  There will be so many exciting things happening around that time!!  Our baby will be born, Jared will turn 29, Beckham will turn 1 (!!!!) and my little brother will be off on his mission to Chile!
