Wearing orange to say....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATHEW!

Why orange you ask? It's Matt's favorite color, so I've always made it a habit it wear it (or his favorite shirt) on his birthday. Silly? Maybe haha

Today he turns 25!

Sometimes it's weird to think that we met when he was 17.

It's been wonderful so far....here's to more wonderful years.

Love you

Philip Defranco and Sourcefed

Matt and I got the awesome opportunity to go to a live Table Talk for Sourcefed. It was amazing!

I'll be honest, I was terrified to go because I felt like I'd stick out like a sore thumb having this huge belly. I half heartedly tried to talk Matt out of going, but I knew that I wanted to go to, I just wished that it had happened months before or after.

I was a little nervous about going also because of seeing/meeting people that I watch on YouTube everyday. But when we got there I realized that it wasn't as bad as I had thought. When I saw them sitting up there they looked exactly the same as watching through my computer. It made me happy because it makes YouTube just feel more real.

There were less people there then I thought would be there, so I felt even more out of place. Whether the other guests really noticed us or not I don't know because we sat in the back....a result of showing up later. Bad part about sitting in the back, I had a hard time hearing things.

After an amazing show, we all got to meet them. Matt really wanted to meet Phil, but I was stupid and decided to stay back because of my belly (stupid thoughts I know, I know). I felt like it would be an awkward moment maker. Once Matt finally got up there, I did end up talking and hugging him because I ended up taking the picture for Matt.

After introducing myself, which for some reason is always awkward for me no matter who it is, mainly because I hate saying my name (don't know why), I was fine. I didn't really feel too awkward.

The worst part was that you knew there were people behind you watching you chat and waiting for their turn, so you get nervous and end up acting more like an idiot than you would have normally. Feeling my back burning from the eyes of the other fans, I felt like we had to hurry, so I probably came across and afraid or something. I remember doing the same thing at Disneyland with the princesses. I'd love for Hailey to be able to talk to them more, but when there is an hour line out in the heat, you feel like you have to rush.

All in all, I'm glad we went. I love Philip DeFranco and the whole Sourcefed crew. They are amazing!

If I could do it again, I would be more bold. Hopefully we'll get the chance to redeem ourselves one day. If I could work at Defranco Inc., I would in a heartbeat. Hell, if I knew anything about video editing or writing I'd go apply to be an intern right now.

So hey Sourcefed, if you ever need a nerdy mom's point of view, I'm here (haha)

Love you guys!!

Howdy There

How's it going?

I'm bored at home while Matt works with his dad. He doesn't very often work in the day (since we're having a hard time finding another job.....if anyone has any idea, let me know), so when he's gone all day I don't know what to do with myself.

So updates in life....

He got his time off for our June vacations. We are going to Utah for Austin's graduation then at the end of June we're going to Texas for a family reunion. We don't know if we are flying or driving to Texas yet though. It depends on if Austin really comes with us and what doctor recommends. I've heard things about both. I'm not too worried about it, but if one choice is better, might as well try it right.

Hailey had her checkup a while back. She is so big! She is 31 lbs. and 3ft tall! Doctor is amazed at how well she talks. So she's doing pretty well, but the potty training train has pretty much come to a stop, which sucks. This is one thing that I'm not experienced with and don't really know how to go about it. She's smart and I know she can figure it out, she just doesn't want to. She acts afraid of it.

She's so silly! Some of the things she says just blow my mind. Of course, she's still as girly as ever.....but with a touch of "boy" in there. It was so funny, she was in a dress and her dress-up shoes holding a beetle she found. "He's cute!" Crazy girl.

I love to take pictures of her! She used to be pretty good at posing for the camera, but now she's such a wiggle worm! Sometimes I can get her to hold still, but not as well as before. I would LOVE to take pictures of her in her really cute Rapunzel dress. I have some, but I mean like a "photoshoot" But I don't know anyone I'd want to take any because I don't have a nice camera, and I don't know where either. I still try to take tons of pictures though. As a matter of fact, one of her pictures was chosen in an instagram challenge. She's 1 of 25 out of a little more than 400. Here is a link to the blog and the other picks. http://www.disneybaby.com/blog/top-25-photos-from-the-magic-in-the-mundane-instagram-challenge/?fb_action_ids=10152818870750580&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%7B%2210152818870750580%22%3A364849926949809%7D&action_type_map=%7B%2210152818870750580%22%3A%22og.likes%22%7D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D

I know that's a long link...but I don't know how to get the shortened version.

Baby is doing ok. Moves like crazy. Still don't know the gender. Doctor said my next ultrasound is at 32 weeks and I'm about 29 1/2 right now.

I'm debating whether or not I want to switch doctors offices. I know it's kind of late to do so, and I don't know if I'll like this place either really.....I mean, is it weird to like "interview" a doctor before you go?

It's just that the office I go to now, I like them and the lady I'm seeing, but she's only an assistant person thingy (lol) and she can't see me past a certain week. All the other doctors are CREEPS! My last time around after I couldn't see the woman anymore and in the hospital are crappy. I mean this time around we know to look out and speak up but a friend says this other doctor is amazing so we'll see. What do you think?

Here's a Hailey picture for ya!!
