Highlights of the First Trimester

I really can't complain about the first trimester too much. Baby #2 has made me much sicker than Leah ever did. With Leah I would be sick in the morning but then would be fine for the rest of the day. This baby likes to make mommy sick a little more often than that.

But really, everything is going well and just hoping this little guy/girl is getting big and strong.

Here are  few highlights from the 1st Trimester:

• First signs of pregnancy - being tired
• Day we found out pregnant - September 10th, 2013
• Due date for Baby #2 - May 20th
• Daddy found out by mom leaving the test in the bathroom for him to find after work. Mom thought he would go up and see it right away but apparently he didn't need to go to the bathroom that night. Mom ended up having to ask him to go up to the bathroom and get her something before he saw it.
• Daddy's first words when he found out: "Congrats. That's why you were acting so weird."
• Morning sickness started: 6 weeks
• Morning sickness continues 
• Mommy is very exhausted. We are very lucky to have daddy to help with the cooking and taking care of Leah
• Mom isn't really hungry for too much lately
• Leah points to her belly and says "my baby"
• Trying to get Leah acquainted with the new baby - so far she loves to kiss the baby (aka mommy's belly) but don't think she has any idea what's in there (or what's to come :-) 

Let the 2nd trimester begin!!!

Daddy's Trip to Dallas

Daddy got to go on a fun trip with two of his good friends and FINALLY got to see the Dallas Cowboys stadium for a game! Here's the few pics that he took of the game and of their golfing.

Knoefphla Soup

Mom made knoephla soup the other day and Leah LOVED it! I think she had 3 bowls all by herself.

 

Disney Live!

Aunt Chas bought tickets for the kids to go to Disney Live, so we made an afternoon of it. Leah did really well and watched the majority of the show. I think her favorite part was sitting in the chair and the juice that she got in her new princess cup. It was the stories of Cinderella, Snow White and Beauty and the Beast narrated by Mickey and Minnie. 

And this was right after we got home. The show wore her out!

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.
