So if any of you know my husband you know that his diet consists of meat and potatoes and any variation thereof...He does not eat fruit and does not eat veggies (except of course potatoes and corn) Well, I've come to conclude that I am indeed carrying his child. Every time I eat any type of fruit or veggie I literally am ill. At first I thought it was a coincidence but it indeed is not. If I eat an apple...sick. If I eat grapes...sick. pineapple....sick. lettuce....sick. tomatoes....sick etc. My diet has been limited to grains and meat. I loathe meat! Before I meet Les I was a vegetarian and now the only thing I can eat without getting ill is chicken and occasionally red meat.
This is very upsetting for me because I love fruit and veggies. I would eat them all day if I could. I'm sickened to think that my child is going to eat like my husband. It's a very boring diet and I run out of things to make for dinner very quickly. So I'm just hoping its a pregnancy thing and when Eden is born I can shove fruits and veggies down her throat and make her like them. To make matters worst I can't ever find anything to eat. I have no cravings and NOTHING sounds good to me. Usually I get to a point where I get sick from not eating and I force myself to eat toast or something to put the hunger pains at bay. This pregnancy stuff I exhausting!

24 Weeks...Let the Count Down Begin
So I'm officially 24 weeks and it totally weirds me out. Is it normal to feel like I can't wait for it to be September already so I can hold my little baby but then at the same time be completely terrified for whats to come...no only for what the baby has in store but mostly the rapid changes taking place in my body? Is it horrible to completely mortified about what's going to happen to my dear little body? Don't get me wrong I've been wanting a baby for a very long time but I'm not sure I've been wanting the repercussions that my body will take because of it. Every time I try (key word try) and put some pants on I cry a little because they are a little tighter than the last time and now I can't even zip up my zippers! I'm too small for maternity pants but my regular pants with the hair thing trick aren't cutting it either. Oh woe is me!
On a littler note, Eden is moving around like a mad woman. I really am beginning to think that she is a gymnast. Sometimes I can barely move because she seems to be using my internal organs as a trampoline (especially my bladder). Body issues aside, I'm feeling good and am getting excited to finally enter the last stretch of this pregnancy...a mere 100 days to go! Remember when you were in elementary and you knew summer was coming once you hit the 100 days mark? I think it's because you start seeing the double digits. Well, I feel like I'm in elementary school all over again and I even considered making one of those paper train things that you pull off a circle everyday...you know what I'm taking about.
I know a bunch of you have been waiting to see some belly shots since last time you all "claimed" that I didn't even look pregnant. Well, I'm definitely feeling and looking pregnant now. So here's a picture to prove it.
24 weeks
Now for some reason I always take these pictures after I've been working out or something so I always look SO glamorous...so please excuse the no make up or hair not being done.

House Full of Grads...Ode to Tracy!
So our family has been WAY busy the past two months. We've had graduations galor! First, Nate graduated from WSU at the first of May and then two weeks ago my little brother graduated from Basic Training....Go Tyson! And now Tracy is officially a high school graduate! Weird!! My mom now has 6 adults! Now to my Ode to Tracy...
It's official. Her name was in the program.
We were having major camera issues that day. Marcia's new camera ran out of batteries...my camera wouldn't focus...and Natalie never shares any of the pictures she takes (go figure) So Tracy's graduation pictures are a scattered about on different cameras. Here are the pictures I have.
Here is a picture of tracy with her AWESOME cap that we took with Marcia's camera and then with mine...notice the issue? We were pretty excited that she decorated her cap that so we could pick her out of the crowd.
Here she is making her walk of fame...we totally stood up and screamed! We got the chest pump and pointer...so we were pretty sure she didn't miss us in all our glory... Speaking of awesomeness here are some pictures of the Rad Trad the Grad Club Members
Little Ever was the President
Brennen and Bennett were the Vice Presidents and the rest of us were Club Members. We were pretty much the coolest people there. We got plenty of compliments from everyone. If I remember correctly I heard someone say "Man..that Trad person sure is lucky to have such a cool family!"...I might have just thought i heard someone say that but none the less...
Here's Tracy with the club presidency.
As you might have guessed by now I have access to A LOT of cardboard. So I made these awesome letters to hold up when Tracy got her diploma. It was freaking awesome. Everyone around us laughed. Tracy's friend even said "Holy cow tracy that spells out your name!" (true story) I think we made our point!
After the big ceremony we went to my parent's for a BBQ. Here's the awesome display my mom and I made for Tracy.
You can't really tell but the table is covered in Hersey's Kisses and on the bottom of each on it says Tracy's name with a graduation cap. My aunt Kathy made these for Tracy... awesomeness must run in ALL the Hutchison genes.
Me, Natalie and my mom even made these sweet little graduation hats. We got the idea from Bakerella....man that woman is a genius!
Well, here's to you Tracy and way to go!

When Awesome Calls...I Answer!
Yesterday was Bronson's 2nd birthday. I can't believe that it's been 2 years already! Time has flown by. Here's a little recap of how much he's changed in just 2 years...
This was when he was 6 months old
1 year old
2 years old
Here's the big boy running a muck while I chase him with a camera.
His mom brought home birthday stickers and he immediately put those stickers all over his body. I thought it was hilarious so I took a picture. AND NOW FOR AWESOMENESS...
I totally made this cake from scratch! I even made homemade vanilla frosting. I pretty much carved this free hand. I went off the Blues Clues dog cuz it seemed like something easy enough for me to copy. So here it is in all it's glory! When my mom gave us the Hello, Cupcake book for Mother's day she told us she expected greatness from us from now on...well, I think I stepped up to the plate. The cake was soooo good. My nephews kept telling me that they wanted ME to make their cake for their birthday...Man I'm an awesome aunt!
K how funny is this picture. This is him saying "PLEEEEAASSEEE!" for some cake.
He ate about two bites with his fork and then he looked around to see if anyone was watching and then he dove in double fisting it till it was gone. He was in heaven! Grandma and Grandpa came over for the festivties and it was lots of fun to watch him soak up all the attention. The past two years have been so much fun watching Bronson each day and seeing him grown up. Happy Birthday Bronson!

Nursery
So I've been trying to collect things for the baby's nursery because I have this urge to get things ready. I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and got the cutest letters for like $4 and some super cute flowers I'm going to paint for like $2. I heart Hobby Lobby. I was stoked to walk out of there with half the stuff I needed for the nursery for under $10. My wonderful Mother-in-law even bought me a way awesome crib so I'm half way done already! I haven't gotten it yet but here is a picture of it.
Here is a picture of the bedding I've been keeping my eye one. It's kind of pricey so I'm saving my money. The hard thing about the bedding is that they baby will be sharing a room with Les and I (the joy of living in a unfinished basement) and she will have her own little alcove if you will so I want it to match the rest of our room. Basically my whole house was decorated in black, gray and red before we moved....I just can't seem to venture beyond these colors. Anywho, I love this bedding and it goes perfectly with everything else.
I know this picture is kind of hard to see so here's a close up of what it looks like.
I have a ton of ideas of what I want to do with her alcove and so as soon as I get the bedding and can match the red it's game on. Once I get the crib set up and some things on the walls I will definitely post some pictures...I just wanted to give you all a sneak peak because I'm super excited to get started.
