Wordless Wednesday {Complete Randomness}

Sitting on the cooler.  He moved it and climbed up all by himself.

Cleaning up.

Reading his bedtime story.  He's decided that Mikey and I can't touch the book.

He decided that the shoe box was a boat or a car.

Sweeping.

Packing for a road trip to South Carolina.

Somehow he ended up in our bed.

Trying to stuff his pajamas into a Chick-fila cup.

Attempting to get something off my nightstand.

Meeting New Cousins

Micah has gotten to meet two new cousins.  We finally got to meet Mr. Angelo, right before he headed back to Texas.  And another cousin of mine recently had a baby boy, KJ.  We took pictures of the babies with my great-grandmother, who is 96 years old.  Every time a new baby is born, we try to get pictures of all five generations.  Unfortunately, my uncle wasn't there, so he didn't get to be in the generational picture.  We'll try again at Easter.  Beware, there are a lot of pictures coming up, and they look a lot alike, but the babies are so precious I had to post them all.

Big yawn!

Cam's Birthday Party

My god-son, Cameron, celebrated his fifth birthday in February.  He had a Cars themed birthday party, complete with a bounce house.  It started raining as soon as we got to the party, so I didn't get any pictures of the bounce house, unfortunately.  The company and the food were great.  Micah had a great time, and so did I.

Opening presents.  He got so many Cars characters at his Cars themed party.

Reading birthday cards.  He pocketed some nice gifts too.

12 Weeks Pregnancy Vlog

I know I've missed several weeks.  This update will cover the weeks I missed also.  At 12 weeks gestation...

... my symptoms have eased off considerably.  In the past few weeks, I've been exhausted.  I've gone to bed as early as 8:30pm and slept through the night.  Generally, I am such a night owl. Starting a new job while growing a baby is hard work.  The nausea has ended for the most part.  It never was bad, but I'm glad that it's leaving.  Now the only time that I get nauseous is when I wait too long to eat.  I did have one episode of vomiting.  Of course, it was because I had waited to long to eat.  I had drunk a glass of orange juice, because I felt like I was catching a cold.  Unfortunately, I didn't eat first.  Let me just say, orange juice on the way up is disgusting.  That one episode of vomiting led to hemorrhoids.  All I can say is OMG!


... cravings and aversions are nonexistent.  It's kind of funny.


... had my second doctor's appointment.  The doctor had trouble finding baby #2's heartbeat with the doppler machine, so she decided to use the ultrasound machine, since it was in the room.  She found the baby and his/her heartbeat with no problem.  The baby's heart rate was at 169 this time.  She also talked to me about the nuchal translucency screening.  We opted out of it for Micah, because we knew that regardless of any findings we would not end our pregnancy.  I also tend to be a worrier, and often think in worst case scenarios.  I allowed myself to be talked into the scan.  Mostly because it will allow me another peek at my newest little one before the anatomy scan.  Hopefully nothing goes wrong.


... weighed in at 114 pounds according to my home scale.  My waist is XX inches around.  I definitely have a pouch now.  I know that it's my internals shifting around to make room for baby.  I'm going to have to move into loose fitting and maternity clothes soon.


So far everything has been going so well, that sometimes I forget I'm pregnant.

Where Have You Been? Again?

Hello all!  I'm sure you must think I fell off the face of the earth.  The last time that I posted an actual post was February 14, then there were a couple throwback Fridays.  But I'm still here, and we're still kicking.  Our little world has just changed a bit, and our adjustment period was longer than I anticipated.  First, I got a job.  It is not in the field that I went to school for, but I find that I like it.  I like the people that I work with, and I think I've finally adjusted to waking up early in the morning again, and not being able to take a nap during the day. The commute is taking a little longer to adjust to, but I'm working on that.  Micah is now going to daycare.  He's adjusted quite well.  At first, he wouldn't nap at daycare. He's finally learning to sleep with other children around, and I think he likes playing with/around the other children.  I certainly like that he is getting to interact with other children.

Lots has happened since my last post, and I am dedicating this week to catching up.  I'm finally getting a little of my energy back that baby #2 has been sucking out of me, so hopefully I'll be able to blog more consistently.  I won't promise that I will blog nearly everyday like I did while I was home with Micah, but I will try to at least be consistent.  So look out for the following posts in the next week...

• Week 12 Vlog
• Cam's Birthday Party
• Micah's 15 Month Appointment 
• A Random Post of Pictures
• Meeting New Cousins
• Micah's @ 16 Months Old
