How pathetic am I? Lately I just really want my mommy! I know I just spent a week and a half with her and the rest of my family. But it doesn't make me miss my mom any less! She is my best girl friend and I just really don't like living so far away from her! And of course the rest of my wonderful family.
Maybe it's all these pregnancy hormones? Or maybe it's just the fact I really took my momma and family for grantid while I was growing up... I don't know what it is!!! But I just really wish we could live closer!
How is my baby supposed to know his favorite grandma and grandpa? And his favorite Aunt Olivia? And his favorite uncles? Haha I shouldn't say they will be his favorites.... But I can't help myself! They are my favorites! :)
I just want to express how much I love my mom and dad. They are 2 of the way people to walk this earth! I just love them so much! And I am so grateful for everything they do for me and Callan. They are the most supportive people in our life. Regardless of what is going on with them and their house thu always have our backs. They have been so wonderful.
We are so lucky I have them. I couldn't ask for better parents and role models.
I hope Callan and I can be just like them! Those will be big shows to fill! For me at least! Callan is already the most patient, kind person I know!
They say you marry a guy like your daddy. I'd like to think I have! :) Callan and my dad are the best men in my life. They are both just so amazing. They are both there for me always no matter what!!! And they are both so funny :) yes dad... You are funny! I just don't tell you that... It might go to your head... ;) love you dad! And love you Callan !
Oh goodness! I just love my mom! She is the best person! And she's so funny! And seriously has the best sense of style! She is one hot grandma! No not grandma!! No way! And yes she is WAY to young to be a grandma! I mean seriosly?! Who becomes a grandma at 29?! Whatever! She's such a hottie!!!
She must get it from her momma! My lovely grandma Gail! Now that lady is pretty dang amazing! I love her so much! I'm so happy she lives so close! Or I honestly don't know what I would do!!! She is the definition of pure love! I love that lady! She's going to be a great grandma at 39.... Wow!
Well what can I say? I have such an amazing support system! And I life these people very dearly!!! They are my life! As they are just so good to me! I'm so happy to have them!

Odds and Ends
 |
| One of my favorite pictures of my sister and I. Hours before my wedding. We went to Kholers grocery store and had lunch in their deli. Haha! It was simple, sweet and YUMMY! |
 |
| Haha While we were at the ER waiting to be taken back, I decided to put on a mask.... What can I say? Pregnant... and bored..... |
 |
| Callan...poor poor Callan.... We were rear ended a few nights prior to this picture. Poor kid... He ended up having a concussion and vertigo! :( |
 |
| My little brother Caleb who is now taller than me got his Eagle, hence the whole reason I came to Arizona.... Im so proud of him!!! He worked so hard and did such a great job! My mom and I made these awesome Eagle heads lol! They are so cute and SOOOO yummy!!! |
Angels in heaven
My amazing angel cousin passed away this past Saturday, March 3 2012. He was 24 years old. This guy was such a trooper! And just had so much love to give! He had such a sweet and special spirit about him. He was just so full of love and joy despite all of his challenges. I am so grateful to have had him in my family, let alone even know him! What a precious angel! My thought of love and comfort are being sent to his mom, step dad, sister and brother. They have been there for Tyler for a very long time and will feel his loss the most. His loving family took care of him, and they are all such great examples of patience, kindness and pure love. Your family loves you Tyler and they will miss you greatly!!!
Tyler Jake Tolbert
June 3 1987- March 3 2012
He will be greatly missed. But he gets to see his daddy in heaven! Which is probably one of the best family reunions in the history of family reunions! :)) We love you Tyler and we will see you again someday!!
Little kicks!
My little Archer has been moving around non stop! He kicks and punches me. And as annoying as I thought it would be to be constantly prodded from the inside, it actually has become a fun little bonding time. :) My little man and I like to play "tag" I guess you could call it. He will poke or kick me then I poke him, and he pokes back harder. Haha Its kinda fun. He responds to his name too! I love it! I loathe being pregnant, but this little game Archer and I have makes it much easier! Maybe he knows how much it sucks! Or maybe he just hates being cooped up in my tummy! Poor kid. At least I can move around and get a change of scenery!!
What else is new? Well.... I am actually due July 25! So that is about a week further along than my original due date :) That makes me happy! He was due on August 1st my mommas birthday. But I guess we calculated things wrong! Which is just fine because if I go over than hopefully he will decide August 1st is his day! So my momma can have the best present EVER!! Haha Oh my gosh! My mom and I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday (BEST STORE EVER!!) and picked out the cutest material for Archers baby blanket! It so adorable! And we decided what we are doing his nursery as. When I say we I mean me.... haha.
FROGS!!!! I love frogs! And here at my moms, the kids old bathroom used to be frogs! So she has TONS of froggie decorations! Along with this cool ceramic frog I made at the pottery place when I was like 15... Haha It should be great! Now to find the bedding...
I feel like all of my posts are about Archer... and pregnancy... and everything concerning baby. But honestly, there is nothing else I can write about!!! I love my little baby! And I am sure, well I know when he gets here its going to be much more about Archer!!! Hurry up July!!! I want to meet my little squishy!!

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!!
Oh my gosh! I am so busy! But doing what? I honestly have NO idea! Life just sometimes gets in the way and all of a sudden your 19 weeks pregnant.... and then you don't know where time went. Its crazy! AND yes! 19 weeks! I am about a week/5 days ahead of schedule. Little man is growing SO fast!
Oh! Little man has a name! Drum roll PLEASE............................Archer!!!!
Archer Bennett Harding.
My little Mango! He is the size of a mango this week in case anyone is confused by that statement.
Next week (week 20) he will be a cantaloupe!
HOLY MOLY
I feel like I am so HUGE! But, of course I am just getting started!
Which brings me to our next topic.... Things NOT to say or do to pregnant woman, especially this one:
---"WOW! Are you sure there aren't twins in there?!"
Yes... I do realize that you think you are hilarious in saying that, but its not funny.
--- "Are you sure your only 19 weeks?"
Oh no.... I don't think I am... I am so glad you think I look bigger than I am though, how kind of you!
--- "You are so paranoid"
Ummmm you have never been pregnant. Back off.
--- " Oh, just wait till the baby gets here"
Well, I am..... and since we have different veiws on how life works I am pretty sure that I will still feel the same about this situation... Thanks though!
---Touch my belly and I will kill you! I don't touch yours! But if you reach your hands out to rub me like I am some magic geanie lamp I will be sure to start patting your belly too! Then we can see how much you like it.
---Trying to give me advice on baby names. Ya, I don't think so. Just because you don't like his name, doens't mean you can show disgust. Personally every person who has done this has a VERY common and boring name. So if you have an opinion that is negative towards the name ARCHER keep it to yourself. Or you can consider yourself on my 'list'
---Unwanted pregnancy advice from already parents, and never been parents.
When you get pregnant EVERYONE and their dog feels like its their place to give you advice, and share stories of their pregnancy, or someone they knew and their pregnancy.... or what they read online or in a book anout someones pregnancy.
For one thing. EVERY PREGNANCY IS DIFFERENT!
So if you have never heard of somthing that is happening in MY pregnancy that doesnt mean its bad, or good, or whatever. It just means once again, that everyone is different.
So stop telling me what I should and shouldn't do during pregnancy.
---Don't just assume because we are close, or you are family that you will be in the delivery room, or get to come to see us after Archer is born at the hospital.
The only people aloud to see me before-during-after labour is Callan, and my mom.
And if I (not callan) decide I want a bunch of people swarming me and my child after he is born I will let you all know. But if and ONLY if I do decide that will you be invited personally by me. So if you don't get a personal invite from ME, to come up to the hospital than I am sorry. No hard feelings and its nothing personal. Its just that Callan, me and Archer need to bond. And I just had a baby. So sorry if I dont feel up to seeing anyone, or sharing MY son with anyone just yet. As of right now NO ONE, grandparents and family included unless I give aproval (my mom since she will be there for delivery) will be aloud at the hospital. Also Please quit saying you have a RIGHT to be there, becasue you DONT. Also, stop telling me I will change my mind. Because I know me, and I wont. You can all wait until, once again you are INVITED to our HOME. And I will put no time frame on how long it will be for me to extend an invite to you.
So be patient and get over yourself if your going to cause drama out of this! You know exactly who you are!!!!
----Unwanted parenting advice
Just dont.
I have been judged, hated, critisized, and everything negative for the choices I am decided to make with my family. I'm very irritated and just done putting up with the annoying, and unsupportive people in my life. And my beautiful husband agrees witht me! The way we see it, is that if you don't agree with us, or our lifestyle keep your mouth shut! And if you can't than we will no longer have your posionous negativity posioning our lives. We are bringing a baby into this world, and we both want to protect him from the vile and judgmental people in world, for as long as we can. If that be friends, extended family, or even immediate family. Archer, Callan, and I only need peace, love and happiness in our life, and if you don't fit that critereia than you will be limited, or gone from our lives.
Its not an easy choice to make, but I have another life to care for. And as hard as it may be sometimes, my son will be protected.
I already love my little man so much. And I am already VERY protective of him, as you can probably tell by this post! So like The Beatles say: All you need is love.
