First Baby Gift

Our first baby gift for our little guy or girl...

Sleepover

You can see that these guys dance a lot :-) They have such a fun time together. This was getting ready for their sleepover at the Wixos.

 Parker "sharing" his blue elephant with Leah..

 He really did give it to her... what a nice cousin.

And a few pics at the Wixo's house...

Playing Outside

Happy Halloween

This year we had a little monkey for Halloween. Leah had no interest in putting on her costume and actually screamed every time we tried to put it on before Halloween. We didn't know if she would actually wear it for trick or treating. After a little struggle getting it on, Leah quickly learned that this costume was great because when she wore it people gave her candy.

We had a blast the day before Halloween and got tons of candy at Zoo Boo with Paige and Parker. It was a little rainy that day but Leah didn't mind and did a great job holding her bucket out for everyone. She can say "Trick or Treat" but wouldn't talk for strangers so haven't mastered that yet. All-in-all it was great way to spend the holiday and Leah had a great time!

On Halloween, we only made it to 2 houses - Auntie Chas's and Uncle Clint & Paige's but Leah still got more candy than she needed and really loved wearing her monkey costume. I think she figured out this Halloween thing because she even wanted to wear her costume the day after Halloween.

The Best Sound

Mommy got to hear your little heartbeat today. It's just the best sound to hear. It was a good strong heartbeat. You were pretty excited - 180's to 190's the whole time.

Just Like Mommy

No, this isn't Leah coming down with the flu... it's her copying what she sees her mommy do. Baby #2 has made mommy kind of sick, lots.

Pretty sad that she knows to do this, huh? Or funny? :-)

Highlights of Baby #2's 1st Trimester

Here's a little recap of what's been happening with baby #2 during the first trimester:

• First sign of being pregnant: nothing really this time - found out with the test
• Day we found out: September 10, 2013
• Daddy’s found out by mommy leaving the test in the bathroom. She got home from work and waited for him to go upstairs to the bathroom... but he wouldn't go, so mommy had to make some excuse for him to go get her something... which he was mad about. Then he came downstairs and said "Congrats.. that's why you've been acting so weird."
• Nausea/Morning sickness started: 6 weeks
• Morning sickness was just as bad, if not worse, than I had with your sister
• Major symptoms - really tired and lazy. Good thing for your dad again however it is a little harder this time with you in my belly and your sister as an almost 2 year old running around
• Still not sure if mom is going to find out if you are a boy or girl??

Nothing too exciting to report in the first trimester but we are getting so excited to meet you and have you join our little family.
