It seems like Wyatt just joined us yesterday and at that same time if feels as though he’s always been here. Such a weird feeling of time. My hope is to remember and document what has been going on with our boy and now our family of four.. but, since I can hardly remember yesterday, we’ll see how it goes ;) </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">The first <strong>two</strong> weeks Philip stayed home and it was great!! It was such a help having him there- he was so supportive and just did whatever was needed. We all hated it when he had to go back to work.. but, suppose that was needed :) </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">The transition for 1 to 2 kids was about what I expected I suppose. I’m just trying really hard to make sure I spend one on one time with Aubrey, but, it’s a little hard to come by sometimes. Philip has been good on filling in the gaps for me. </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">Aubrey has been doing g<em>reat</em> with Wyatt. She still can’t get enough of him. She is always kissing on him and wanting to hold him. Though, she does lose interest in holding him after about 5 minutes ;) She desperately wants to be able to pick him up and walk around with him, but we’re not quite there yet! She does like to help out with him when he’s fussy or just getting things for him- she’s a great big sis! She can’t wait for him to actually be able to play with her :) </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">Our biggest struggle, and something that I wasn’t really expecting, has been breastfeeding. Man oh man. I feel like I could write a book on all the thoughts and emotions I have had with this process. It was something that I never really wanted to do but knew it would be good for him and I deep down did want to know what that experience would feel/be like, so I thought I’d give it a go. I went into thinking “I’ll give it a full force effort, but if it doesn’t work or I don’t like it, then oh well, no biggie.” Wrong. I didn’t <em>really </em>want to do it, but now I can’t let it go, no matter how hard its been. The first 5 days were.. awful. I wasn’t really showed the proper way to get him to latch, so I thought what I was doing was right. Holy moly, <strong>pain</strong>. I got pretty tore up and really just dreaded feeding him. I hated everything about it. But, I didn’t feel like it was “ok” to quit. I hadn’t given it enough time. So, I switched to pumping exclusively. That was working out pretty good, I would just get up and pump about 30 minutes before he had to eat and then give him the fresh milk. There was usually always more than what was needed, so I was able to get a bit of stock going. I was pumping anywhere from 2-6oz combined from each session. Pumping was nice because it allowed Philip to help feed him, but it was a bit of a beating having to get up extra early in the night to beat him to the punch. I pumped for 3 weeks. I would put him on me occasionally just to see what would happen, he’d always go back to me, but I still wasn’t sure if he was on quite right because there was always some pain. Before I went to straight pumping I did go see one of the midwifes for some help, which was good, but I just couldn’t get past the pain (and like I said, I was pretty tore up, so I wanted a break from the pain and wanted to be able heal). Sooo, randomly, on Feb. 10th I just decided I’d go back to exclusively breastfeeding. I had lunch with Natalie and Ashley that day, so I fed him on me before we left.. and didn’t pump at all. Bad idea.</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria"> </font><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-WMFMTVTFgH4/UxjeNIgNZ8I/AAAAAAAAI3o/R__ichMXlu0/s1600-h/IMG_80813.jpg"><font size="4" face="Cambria"><img title="IMG_8081" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_8081" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8Mevhq6Y0CI/UxjeOAQXUmI/AAAAAAAAI3w/ze3EMIYp9t4/IMG_8081_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></font></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">I had no idea. I thought Wyatt had peed on me! Good thing was my scarf was long, so it covered it up some before I left. Geeze! haha. Got home and fed him right away, and pumped some too. I had no idea what I was doing. I thought I could just switch from pumping to nursing, no problem. Wrong. It just wasn’t the same. I also went to see a lactation consultant a couple of days later, just to make sure I was doing things right and everything was ok.. well, I ended up clogging one side, (which sucked!) because I wasn’t pumping out the extra milk! I kept trying to pump to relieve the pain on that side and get it flowing good again… but, it had already messed up my supply. I was pumping easily 2-3oz on just that side, then down to half-1oz! Grr. Once all of that cleared up, I started fazing out the pumping. I now have not pumped in at least 2 weeks? I just don’t want to. Nursing takes long enough to have to add pumping too! Ha! But, I’m sure I will pump some in the future. He transitioned back to me no problem- the boy just wants to eat, however! Even though I still don’t feel totally confident in what I’m doing or how how things <em>should</em> be done, and it is still a little uncomfortable (physically), and what is/isn’t normal for him to be doing… I just can’t give up. Many tears have been shed, many very frustrated moments, many times I’ve wanted to quit… but, I feel like I need to keep going, at least just a little longer. I joined a support group on Facebook which has been great- very encouraging and reassuring! I just never knew breastfeeding would be so (SO) emotional- but, it certainly has been. Things are getting better and into more of a groove, which is awesome. Though, that groove is every 2 hours during the day (which isn’t my fave, haha) and at least 4 hours at night (he has gone 6 hours a few times). Can’t wait to see what my next update will entail in this area.</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">Let’s see, what’s going on with Wyatt:</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">Sleeps minimum 4 hour stretches at night. Likes to have the light on at bedtime until he is asleep. Likes to be bounced to calm him down. Does not depend on a paci, but will take it. Props his head on his hand when he eats- like he’s just relaxing, haha. He’s super strong!!- been holding his head up since day 1 and he seriously stands without us really having to support him- craziness. At 6 weeks he wears 3-6 month clothing and (barely) size 1 diapers- just needing to finish this last box (didn’t make it, had to move on to the 2’s!). Only wore newborn diapers for 1 day. Likes blankets snuggled around his face when he’s trying to fall asleep. Sneezes at least twice after every feeding. Gets the hiccups at least once a day. First smiled just under 2 weeks (now all the time- love it!) Rolled from stomach to back at 2weeks 1day- has done it a handful of times since, really tries to go from back to stomach though! Started “talking” at 3-4 weeks. Laughed at 5 weeks. Poops A LOT. Was left with someone other than me and Philip at exactly 5 weeks- momma had to get a root canal, so Philips mom watched him (and Aubrey) until she had to leave and my mom was able to watch them. First time left with someone other than family, church childcare at 6wks 5 days (while momma worked). At 5wks 3days he weighed 11lbs 10oz. Has definitely turned into a mommas boy. </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">Lots of pics! </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">First night home-</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Rj48Tl-u70o/UxjeO2q5aZI/AAAAAAAAI34/8wuc_Y8ZV5w/s1600-h/IMG_7759%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Cambria"><img title="IMG_7759" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7759" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-rQBdi3YLRZc/UxjePmx5dnI/AAAAAAAAI4A/-8y0MT6KiKo/IMG_7759_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="255" height="342"></font></a><font size="4" face="Cambria"> </font><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-PRJZEXpyrcE/UxjeQrRWs_I/AAAAAAAAI4I/F7Dm-w-Kx70/s1600-h/IMG_7753%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Cambria"><img title="IMG_7753" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7753" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-tY6oTv0FfxI/UxjeRtl3HwI/AAAAAAAAI4Q/xcnExvpkpSI/IMG_7753_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="255" height="342"></font></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Cambria">Holding his head up on day 2.. so strong!

No progress was made, so I was still at 1-2cm which was a bit of a bummer. The midwife gave me some “homework” to due over the next few days and said if still nothing by Monday the 20th I was to come back and they would use a balloon thing (can’t remember what its called) as an induction measure. I really didn’t want to have to do that. My prayer all along was that I would go into labor on my own. I really wanted to experience that, with no interventions. So, I upped my praying! Thursday the 13th, instead of just lounging around the house, like I wanted to, me and Aubrey spent most of the day over at Natalie’s. It was nice to get out of the house and have some good talk to distract from no baby. And, the chocolate chip cookies didn’t hurt either ;) I felt fine the whole day, except just tired. A couple of contractions here and there. Nothing out of the ordinary. I even told Natalie with how “good” I was feeling what were the odds something would happen. Well, guess the odds were pretty good. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">The past couple of weeks I had really been trying to keep on top of laundry, dishes, keeping the house just cleaned up! So, of course when I got home from Natalie’s I didn’t feel like cleaning up anything. Not that the house was that much of a mess, but, still not what I would want to come home to with a new baby. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">Well, about 2:30am I woke up with this horrible pain! It hurt to move in any direction. It was like my insides were ripping every time I tried to roll over, if I tried to sit up I would get a shooting pain and it would just take my breath away. Finally, I woke up Philip to help me sit up. As soon as I did my whole stomach cramped up and pain throughout my whole back. He started rubbing my back and finally it calmed down enough for me to stand and go to the bathroom. Philip went back to bed and I was too nervous to lay back down again (fear of the pain) so I went and sat in the chair in the baby’s room. After sitting for a few minutes I felt a contraction. Which, was out of the ordinary for the middle of the night. So, I just sat.. then another came. Decided then to take note and start timing. Just kinda felt like I should. Well, sure enough they kept coming. I timed my first one at 2:49am and went till 3:09am., from that time frame, according to the record on the app I had, they were coming every 3-4 minutes. That definitely caught my attention! The midwives told me <strong>not</strong> to wait till they were 5 minutes apart because second babies can come much quicker. So, I decided to walk around some to see if that would stop or change the frequency. As I walked I couldn’t really tell if they were still coming or not. I just felt tired. So, I sat back down and timed again starting at 3:31.. and they kept coming just minutes apart again. Though, the intensity would range some and the frequency was starting to space a little further apart. So, I’d walk, sit, lay on the couch.. and just keep timing. I didn’t want to call too early if it wasn’t the real thing. I didn’t want to get my hopes up.. but, I kinda was. I just kept telling myself “I’ll call if I get one more”. Well, one more turned to many more. Right about 5:00am I finally decided I should call. They said “C’mon!” YAY! Called my mom and let her know, then went to wake up Philip. He had no idea what was going on! Figured if it was the real deal, he would need some sleep to help me through ;) I crawled back in bed and he groggily asked if everything was ok, I told him “Well, looks like we need to go!” He shot up pretty quick. Haha. Filled him in on what had been going on and told him we needed to get there by 6:00. And, since the house was not up to par, I made Philip start cleaning ;) Though, once my bag was finished with the last minute things, I cleaned, too! Crazy. Things were not happening quite as I pictured, haha. We woke Aubrey up about 5:30 and told her we had to go to the baby doctor because the baby might be coming. She seemed pretty (sleepily) happy about that :) Loaded up the car and off we went! On the drive there I asked Philip if this is how he pictured things would be, he said no, and we both agreed things seemed too calm. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">So, we got to the birth center right at 6:00am. She ( midwife Rachael) checked me, and lo and behold, I was at 4cm! SO happy to know there had been progress made. Baby boy had also dropped, but my cervix was still pretty high. She would get back to that later. Since I tested positive for the Group B Strep, she started my first round of antibiotics via IV. I don’t do IV’s well. I always bleed when they stick me and then have to move to another spot. I hadn’t ate anything since dinner, minus a few strawberries on the way there, so I started feeling pretty nauseas pretty fast. I had to have her stop because I started sweating like crazy and was needing a bucket! Thankfully, I didn’t have to use the bucket.. barely. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">After I regained my composure, we headed downstairs to “the room”. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">Aubrey was still in her pj’s and just going along with the flow. Philip brought all of our stuff in. I just walked around having some contractions ;) Rachael came back to “massage my cervix”. Have to say, massage probably isn’t the best word- Ouch! But, it did the trick and contractions started getting a little more intense and frequent. But definitely still manageable. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">Natalie was in charge of taking pictures for us, so she was on her way by this point, and nicely brought us some breakfast from Chick-fil-A. Though, she also helped with Aubrey duty until the grandma’s got there :) All of my family was working so they were trying to get things figured out to get here. Well, minus Emily and Robert.. they weren’t real sure what to think of the birth center and what all that would entail, so they waited to see us till when we got home ;) Both of our moms got up there around 10-10:30. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">Up until about 9:30, we all just hung out in the room and then walked around the park right next door. Our wonderful nurse Debbie was very helpful and more involved than I was expecting, which was nice. Apparently walking around the park was going to be in our future a lot. Debbie walked with us and showed me some moves that would help open things up, help with pain and “cut labor in half”! I was betting on that last part! I felt a little ridiculous at first the way she had me walking, but, after awhile I didn’t care anymore about how I looked or what anyone would have thought. I was getting down to business. Aubrey was also really glad to be outside and burn a little energy! It was such a nice day, a little chilly, hence me wearing Philip’s jacket ;) During this time, contractions were coming 5 minutes or less apart, pain was just uncomfortable, would maybe need to stop for a second, but I could still mostly talk through them. Whenever Aubrey was close by I would try my hardest to look like everything was fine, though she did pick up that things were different. She was very concerned for me and would come up and kiss my belly often. We had talked to her about whether or not she wanted to watch the baby come out, she was unsure, so we just played it all by ear. In the end, she didn’t watch, and I’m glad. I think it would have been too much for her. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">Things were not going at all how I had imagined. I pictured myself wanting it to be dark and quiet so I could really focus and get in the zone. I thought it would have been much more painful earlier on. My biggest concern was getting through contractions, which ended up definitely being the “easier” part. I was hopeful that the whole process would take a considerable amount of less time than with Aubrey. I was not disappointed by any means with how things were going, just surprised. Natalie even commented several times at how easy things seemed to be. But of course, things didn’t stay <em>that</em> easy the whole time. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">At 9:38 they broke my water. I was also at 4-5cm. which was a little disappointing. This is also when I got to wear those fancy Silhouette’s (aka Depends)! When you’re not hooked up to a catheter and laying in a bed covered in pads and all that, like in a hospital, gotta have something to catch all the fluids ;) Well, in no time at all things really started picking up! Debbie wanted me to go back out and walk, walk, walk! So, we did. Contractions definitely got noticeably stronger and closer together really fast. We walked outside for about 30-45 minutes and then came back in to get my second dose of IV antibiotics. I was having a much harder time with these contractions and really had to focus on getting through them. Philip was such a great help during this time. While walking outside Debbie suggested squatting during the contractions, and I found it felt really good to have Philip push on my lower back while he squeezed my hips with his thighs. Poor Philip got a good workout! After the antibiotics, I asked about getting in the tub (aka the natural birth epidural), Debbie said they recommend not getting in until at least 7-8cm because it can slow labor down. She said once the contractions started feeling “different” we would talk. So, we walked some more. At this point, it was pretty hard to walk. I was getting about 3-5 steps and having to stop. It was probably 10:45-11:00 at this point? (Aubrey was inside with the grandmas) These were <em>much</em> harder and were real low in my stomach. A few of them were bringing me to tears. It was just such an intense feeling, all I wanted to do was grab my stomach and make it stop.. which did nothing. Philip was such a good support- reassuring me, reminding me to breath, telling me I was doing a good job, rubbing/pushing on my back, couldn’t have done it without him! Finally I told Debbie I wanted in the tub,things felt different- really, like I needed to push or pee or something, and I just needed a break. She made me do another lap and then said we could go in. The longest lap of my life. Walking up the steps back inside was so hard, physically and emotionally. I just stopped and leaned on the rail, cried and prayed. Once inside, they checked me- 9cm!! I told them I was ready ;) I was actually really proud of myself for making it to 9 without any help. Once in the bathtub, what a difference! It was like an instant relief. I was able to breath and just take things in and regroup a little. Aubrey came in to see me, and for me to gauge whether or not she wanted to stay for it all, she got a worried look on her face when contractions would come. So, we decided to have her stay out. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">I could definitely feel things changing… I knew the time to push was coming. I had zero intentions of having the baby in the water. Zero. But, once in the bath, I just couldn’t see myself getting out . Honestly, I started to panic. I just froze at the thought of pushing. I was afraid of what it was going to feel like and I didn’t want to find out! I think I also had the 3 hours of pushing Aubrey in my head and that didn’t help matters. Everyone kept telling me I needed to start pushing, I could do it, relax. (Oh that word- relax! That word could make a person go crazy!) They kept asking if I wanted to have the baby in the water, I didn’t act like I wanted out, so they took that as a yes. I kept telling them to hold on, I wasn’t ready, I just needed a minute. This is when everyone said they started getting worried about me, that I wouldn’t push, I was just too scared. I kept trying to pray and focus… but man, that fear had me. Eventually, I couldn’t help it anymore and I started to push. I remember looking at the clock and it was about 11:30 and thinking “I’m going to have this baby out by 12:00”- I had a goal. Well, pushing wasn’t going good in the tub, I wouldn’t “relax” and position myself the right way.. they were getting worried about me.. so, they had me get out and move to the bed. Holy moly, that was one <strong>long, hard </strong>walk to the bed. I mean, I could feel his head crowning. I made it to the bed and just laid down however I could (which was the wrong way, haha). Philip just held me and kissed my head. It just hurt <em>so</em> bad. I finally got into the right position, and it really became go time. I started pushing, but as they kept reminding me, I wasn’t relaxing my body. Mom and Philip each had one of my legs to help me out.. but, I couldn’t help it and I kept pushing against them- which is not what I was supposed to do. I kept pushing and pushing.. but with little progress. His head was <em>right there</em> for so long (well, what seemed like for so long). I kept pushing as hard as I could, but man, it was hard. I kept my eyes closed during it all, Debbie kept wanting me to open them and be in the moment and look at Philip.. but, to me, that’s too distracting. I had imagined myself staying very quiet through it all (like with Aubrey) and just being focused, that was not the case. I got a lot louder than I ever thought I would. And, that is why I was glad Aubrey wasn’t in there. It was not the groaning that I kept seeing in videos, it was more of just grunting/screaming.. kinda. I felt like I had to in order to get him out. I won’t lie, it hurt! I wanted to quit, pretty sure I even said so. Debbie had me feel his head and look in the mirror to see how close I was. I do remember getting really frustrated with myself though- I was worried everyone was thinking I was taking too long, and I kept thinking “why is it so hard for me to get my kids heads out?!” My frustration with myself did not help, but hearing everyone cheer me on and hearing their excitement rise when I was getting his head to really come out gave me the motivation I needed. Baby boy was turned the wrong way and at one point I heard the midwife say he was rotating and I could totally feel it, which was pretty weird! But, didn’t hurt. I never felt the “ring of fire” as I’ve heard many talk about, which I’m glad for. Once his head finally came out I remember thinking “ Ok, relief is about to be here. Its about to be over. Just have to get the body out and relief will be here.” Unfortunately, that was a little harder to come by. Baby was turned sideways and his hand was in front of his face… so getting the rest of him out was a bit tricky. I looked up and saw him part ways out and just thinking while I pushed “Just pull him out! Get him out however!” That was pretty painful. According to everyone who witnessed, it was a good struggle getting him out. Philip thought they were really hurting him how hard she was pulling and twisting him. But, he finally came out with no damage done- to him or me!! I didn’t tear and avoided being cut (barely)- could not believe it! Man, just knowing he was out was such a relief! Watching Philip help grab him as he was coming out and putting him on me was such a special moment. Having that first moment of seeing your baby and finally touching them- </font><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">nothing beats it.</font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri"> He was born at 12:24, so I didn’t quite meet my goal. Though, I think if there had still been a clock visible to me from the bed, I might have made it. ;) </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">Everyone noticed right away how big he was. The last “guess” on weight was mid 8lbs. He had been laying on his side for weeks, so it was hard for them to really get a good feel on how big he was, so we were all pretty shocked when Philip held him up to weigh him at a whopping 10lbs 2oz!! Its no wonder he was hard to get out! ;) </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">Unfortunately, things were not all rosy right away. The pain “down there” was so intense, it was all I could focus on. I started getting real emotional and upset because it hurt so bad and I felt like I wasn’t as happy and in the moment as I wanted/needed/should have been? I just kept asking if it should be hurting that bad?? They kept saying it was normal. But, I don’t think it was. It took a good while, an hour or two?, for me to really feel better. It took less time than that though for me to feel better enough to redirect my focus, thank goodness. As they kept checking me and pushing on my stomach, I kept bleeding quite a bit. And man, that was painful them pushing on me! I just wanted a break from the pain! But, I know that’s part of it. After we got a little more situated, they wanted me to start feeding him. At this time, Aubrey was re<em>ady</em> to come in. My mom said she was worried about me and wanted to make sure I was ok. Sweet girl. She was so excited to see her brother! I loved that moment. The smile on her face was just pure joy and happiness. She stayed with us in the bed for a bit, but then they needed to check some things on baby.. and push and check around on me again. When she went to push on my stomach this time though a HUGE gush of blood came pouring out. The nurse started to freak a little and started yelling for the midwife. Philip was still sitting next to me, Aubrey and Collin were walking out of the room and mom and Natalie were off to the side. I remember looking at them and them looking pretty worried. Not gonna lie, I was a little worried too! Wasn’t sure what was going on, but it didn’t sound good. Before I knew it, all three midwives and a couple of nurses were checking me out. Come to find out, I did hemorrhage. Apparently, with big babies, it sometimes causes the uterus to have to have a hard time connecting back once the placenta detaches. They kept a good eye on me and checked me often. They also gave me some kind of pills (can’t remember what they are called) they were inserted in me and a shot of pitocin to stop the bleeding. I also had to get an IV of fluids since I lost a good amount of blood. Things finally started getting under control and all I wanted to do was take a shower! Which, they let me. :) It was a bit awkward since I was hooked up to the IV, the midwife had to stand outside the glass shower door the whole time. No modesty in giving birth!! After the shower, lunch was here and I was feeling tons better!! Had my baby boy, my sweet girl and my awesome husband, what more could I ask for. We all hung out in the bed for a while, letting Aubrey hold him- she got really upset when she had to pass him off so they could check his blood sugar (it was too low for how big he was, so they had to supplement a little formula to get it back up). Poor Aubrey was up since 5:30 with a lot of excitement, she was hitting meltdown mode. Everything was making her emotional. So, we decided to let her go home with Collin and Papa for a break, and hopefully a nap- which was a no go. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">Things started to quiet down around this time. Which was nice. We had a few visitors, but it was pretty low key. Just nice to sit around and be chill. This is also about the time I started getting pretty tired. I just had to be able to go to the bathroom, which was a feat, and then we could go home. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">So, about 6:30pm, we started loading up. I was still in a good amount of pain, just <em>really</em> sore and moving in slow motion. But, we were going home and that was a great feeling! </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Calibri">It was such an amazing day. I feel so much closer and connected to Philip than I ever thought I would. I needed him so much that day and he was there completely. The trust and security I have in him now is so much more and deeper. He was the perfect partner in this. </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri"><font color="#004080"> I’m so glad I went the natural route. And, for those wondering, yes, I would do it again!</font> </font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-6-8psKf0LlY/UullMmNrN2I/AAAAAAAAIeA/PZKIuqN3H_g/s1600-h/DSC_0420%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri"><img title="DSC_0420" style="border-top: 0px;

I tired to soak up this being Aubrey’s last one as an only child. I’ve actually never referred to her as that, an only child. I think because I’ve always known there would be more children, it was just a matter of time. Anyway… haha. </font></p></blockquote> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">Me and Philip actually woke up before her, so around 8:30 we woke up her up. I would have let her sleep in longer, but we had a packed day ahead. I asked if she remembered what today was and she sleepily said “Christmas…” She wanted to lay in bed for a few more minutes, then finally got up but went straight to the chair to lay down. Until she realized there were more presents under the tree! Then she started perking up :) </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">This year, she was really into Santa, more so than I’ve ever seen or heard her be. Didn’t really love it actually. She did make a couple of comments about her being good and that’s why she got presents, and Santa won’t come if she’s awake but wanted to make sure he was going to come to our house, and just kept saying how all of the presents were from him. I’ve never really addressed Santa with her before, and I’m sure I’d be a little confusing about it since I take her to get her picture done with him. But, I don’t want so much of her focus to be on him. And, quite frankly, I want her to know the presents are from me and Philip- the ones who care and put thought into what she gets. I guess as Christmas approaches again, we’ll talk about this much more. </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri"> </font><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-qW_SLLf66c8/UsXZUBagOhI/AAAAAAAAIXI/YBdBIn1VMEs/s1600-h/DSC_0252%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri"><img title="DSC_0252" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0252" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Q-g6uy7rUJ4/UsXZVQAltKI/AAAAAAAAIXQ/fYZe2tZ1VM8/DSC_0252_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="442" height="298"></font></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-VdmKh41KqIg/UsXZW1nAVQI/AAAAAAAAIXY/SLF6PQWvnHc/s1600-h/DSC_0253%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri"><img title="DSC_0253" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0253" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xGOhBr7IxJM/UsXZYNrJRJI/AAAAAAAAIXg/w-Ffd643oqs/DSC_0253_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="451" height="304"></font></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ZiKKJUgoSw4/UsXZZbWpm_I/AAAAAAAAIXo/B3Nn8SetTE0/s1600-h/DSC_0254%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri"><img title="DSC_0254" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0254" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-mkOi-cmp9S0/UsXZaqpNLxI/AAAAAAAAIXw/kHonOJDbOWU/DSC_0254_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="438" height="658"></font></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">We started the day at our house, Philip read the real Christmas story to start us off.</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-j6gamxOe-Gw/UsXZcZHpMxI/AAAAAAAAIX4/4Fax72f16pU/s1600-h/DSC_0256%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri"><img title="DSC_0256" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0256" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gp0xOwFyhSU/UsXZeKq1MNI/AAAAAAAAIYA/3K_KahpNffc/DSC_0256_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="476" height="321"></font></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">Then we all took turns opening our stockings :) I was most excited about her getting stick on earrings, she ended up being most excited about her flashlight.

So we area good to go in that department. He moves around A LOT, so I think he keep going back and forth from face up to face down. At my last appt, she thought he was face up, not good. But, I know there are times where I can feel his back, so that would have him face down.. so, I think he just likes to switch it up. Which is fine, as long as he’s face down when the time comes! </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">Back pain is still a constant. I’ll be so glad when that’s done with. As well as this dang restlessness!!! Restless leg syndrome to the MAX! I had it before I was pregnant, but it has intensified majorly. It’s a nightly, or even daily, thing. And not always just in my legs, for some reason my shoulder blade area gets that feeling a lot and my arms. But, mostly my legs/hips. Super annoying. I’d say the past month, it has made sleeping miserable. I’ll start off in bed and just won’t be able to lay still, so I’ll move to the rocking chair/recliner in the baby room, or the couch, or even Aubrey’s bed (if she’s not home).. then usually around 2:30-3:30 I’ll go back to our bed. So, its pretty much hit or miss on sleep until 3:00. Add 3-5 bathroom trips (at least).. its awesome. The things you go through to have a baby :) </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">On a positive note ;) … at my last appt, which was one day before 38 weeks, I had gone from nothing the week before to being dilated to 1-2cm and my cervix being “good and mushy”.. wish she would have given me an actual number on the thinning though. I’ll ask again next appt, if I make it?!??</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">I’ve definitely been having contractions. Though, I am having a little bit of a hard time distinguishing what actually is or is not a contraction. Never felt them with Aubrey, so this is new to me. I’d say 90% of the contractions are in my back. Every now and then I’ll get that period crampy feeling more in my front. Some are for sure the tightening/releasing, so those are obvious. But, I’m not sure if when my whole stomach tightens for a good while is still a contraction? None of them have been <em>painful</em>, just kimda uncomfortable or just a different feeling. Definitely doable :) I just keep praying that God will have the contractions be very obvious for when I need to take them seriously. </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">At 38 weeks grand total of weight gain- 21lbs! How I’ve managed that, I have no idea?! But, I sure am glad!!</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">Oh, also, a few weeks back, actually, right at Thanksgiving, I was having some really bad low back pain. Like nothing I would do would help. So, the day after Thanksgiving I called the office because that can be a sign of early labor. They had me come in and be monitored for contractions. None. But, they were still concerned about the pain, so they had me do a urine sample to see if there was maybe an infection going on. Well, come to find out, no infection per say, but I am Group B Strep positive. And, since it showed up in my urine then it was “more than normal” than if it showed on just the swab they would have done a few weeks later. So, I went on an antibiotic for a week and then did another urine sample and it came back clean, which is good. But, once I’m in labor, especially once my water breaks, I will go on an IV antibiotic. They’ve assured me that everything should be fine, and that its much more common than I think. They’ve delivered plenty of babies where the mom is positive and both are fine. I’m trying not to think too much on it because there really isn’t anything I can do until after he’s born. Just praying everything goes smoothly and there will be no issues!! </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">Just a side note, anyone can have the Group B at any point, its like a bacteria that can just flare up and go away at any time. It doesn’t harm the carrier, but could potentially be very harmful for the baby. </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">I’m getting super excited and anxious to get this labor going! Just curious to know how it’s all really going to go down, and just looking forward to that feeling that everyone that has had a natural birth talks about- accomplished, empowered, overjoyed, etc. And I just can’t wait to see what this little guy is going to look like!! And, how big he’s going to be?! They’ve estimated he’s at 7.5 lbs now.. but, I kinda feel like that’s just a safe guess ;) I can’t wait to see how Aubrey get’s along with him and just how life will be as a family of 4. Just so much to look forward to! </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">Though, to keep it real, I am still pretty nervous/scared of how labor is going to go down! Ha! Either way, hoping to find out sooner rather than later! Finally have our bags packed, his room is 99% ready (just waiting on some curtains, ah-hem, natalie ;) and I’m just sitting around waiting!

Later that afternoon I took her to see Frozen. She was SO excited to see it, but I think she was a little disappointed, unfortunately. It wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be, and there was a little bit of a scary part she didn’t like. But, over all, I think she still enjoyed it. In any case, it was a fun afternoon for us :) </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri Light">She had also really been wanting to give some money to “the guy that rings the bell”. She found some money she had in her room, put in her purse and told me she wanted to give some money to someone that needs it. I was so proud that she realized she wanted to do this all on her own. Well, all week she kept forgetting to get her purse when we would go out, so finally on her birthday, she remembered her purse (even took into the movies). After the movie, we went by Kroger specifically so she could give her money. I told the guy she had been wanting to give some money, hoping he would kind of make it a big deal to her- he didn’t. Bummer. But, I made sure she knew that it was a great thing she did, love her giving heart :) </font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-yzij7aLX0uk/UsW68HqWexI/AAAAAAAAIRI/b_qyyLs_qlQ/s1600-h/DSC_0241%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri Light"><img title="DSC_0241" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0241" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-XO_cdq9UQ3c/UsW68kkW_tI/AAAAAAAAIRQ/xRBbI0o2jR0/DSC_0241_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="568" height="384"></font></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-xEHpYH-sZKQ/UsW69tCxT-I/AAAAAAAAIRY/sNYYGW4YaYQ/s1600-h/DSC_0242%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri Light"><img title="DSC_0242" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0242" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-2g8gHyQi9i4/UsW6_w-elkI/AAAAAAAAIRc/f31koErFgmc/DSC_0242_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="525" height="354"></font></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-zjxA-TPy21E/UsW7Ab_-sfI/AAAAAAAAIRo/_cgWhcuriW4/s1600-h/DSC_0243%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri Light"><img title="DSC_0243" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0243" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bIbVuJmvrTQ/UsW7BRqzmJI/AAAAAAAAIRs/BhlBeP7X_TE/DSC_0243_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="523" height="353"></font></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ekY-ZOmoEeE/UsW7Cfr9uHI/AAAAAAAAIR4/f75Whiv_TpM/s1600-h/DSC_0244%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri Light"><img title="DSC_0244" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0244" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Ou15vQStoO4/UsW7DGwC3oI/AAAAAAAAISA/HuomZ5rySVI/DSC_0244_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="527" height="355"></font></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BlKICRrXosw/UsW7EMtvqEI/AAAAAAAAISI/fpsmH9Bq3TU/s1600-h/DSC_0245%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri Light"><img title="DSC_0245" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0245" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-tdvtwrJPXZ8/UsW7E5sBOsI/AAAAAAAAISQ/j3QI86qP6u8/DSC_0245_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="358"></font></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/--I8umt5AP2U/UsW7GDYHcyI/AAAAAAAAISY/BiSFuIIh70o/s1600-h/DSC_0246%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri Light"><img title="DSC_0246" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0246" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-zGsX2f1glEY/UsW7HP82wII/AAAAAAAAISg/ZQQPoxrJH30/DSC_0246_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="526" height="354"></font></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-f6_j5bpufBQ/UsW7IWcJxGI/AAAAAAAAISo/SsTpEwAxA18/s1600-h/DSC_0248%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Calibri Light"><img title="DSC_0248" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC_0248" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-GZLj7V0RbkY/UsW7JEck43I/AAAAAAAAISs/N7nplIXuqUE/DSC_0248_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="531" height="358"></font></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri Light">All of her posing's are killing me, not sure where the over-the-shoulder look came from?!

My first born, the one who made me a momma. Some days I just can’t get over how much I love her. I always wondered how I would love a second child as much as I love her, I know, it’ll just be a different love for each of them, but still equal. For 5 years its just been her. She has been such a joy in my life. I am super excited about brother coming, but it does make me a little sad that it won’t just be her anymore. I know it will be great for her to have a sibling, and she will be such an awesome big sister, but now I have to share her ;) As much as I wanted to have a girl, so that she could have a sister, I am really glad to be having a boy. I think it will help ease the transition (for me!) I can love a girl and a boy, which is totally different than loving two girls, I think I would be comparing a lot if I were having a girl now. I guess God knew what he was doing! ;) </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">This age has been so fun. Sure, she is definitely getting some attitude and sass going on, but most of the time its just humorous! She is really learning how to express her feelings, and is not afraid to say how she feels. Her newest thing is “that’s just rude”. Most of the time she uses it the correct way. She has also began to say when things aren’t fair, which isn’t always the case, sometimes its just her not getting her way and she says its not fair. So, we’re trying to work through that. She is very opinionated. Which, has always been the case! She is also really good on her manners. If I ask her to do something she’ll usually say “OK”, but then right away add “I mean, yes ma’am!” I rarely have to correct her on that. She does great on her please, thank you, and excuse me’s. The other day she was just sooo sweet. That morning I started a meal in the crock pot, when Philip got home that night he finished it off by making some sides to go with it. So, he called us when it was ready, making Aubrey think he had done it all. Well, a few minutes into the meal she got out of her seat, went over to Philip gave him a hug and said “This is the most beautiful dinner and my favorite!” She kept going on and on throughout dinner how much she loved it. Hello, I did have a part in it! ;) So then, after dinner she said she was going to give Philip something because dinner was so beautiful. So she went in her room and picked out a book for him to “keep”. Books are a big deal to her! So super sweet! She is also very concerned when the baby moves around a lot and makes things uncomfortable for me. She’ll go to my stomach and tell him to stop moving and hurting momma, or to stop moving at night so I can sleep. Love her. </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Calibri">She is still very into coloring/drawing- non stop!, dancing, singing, playing with her babies, princess stuff, jewelry, helping out with laundry or cooking- more so the cooking, I think she’s realizing the “fun” of laundry!, jumping and climbing on anything, she prays anytime she hears a siren, reading and playing games. Favorite colors are still pink and purple. Favorite book is Duck on a Bike, she can “read” it back to us. She’d eat cereal or peanut butter and jelly for every meal if we’d let her. Though, she does request Red Lobster often! Not sure why, she just gets chicken, haha. She is a pretty good eater though, she will <em>usually</em> try anything without complaining. Naps are a thing of the past, but she definitely needs to be in bed by 8:30. We’ve almost got it to where she can shower by herself, that is my goal before baby gets here!

I can’t believe it’s already been a year! Fastest year ever. And what a year it has been! </p> <p align="center">It’s been fun, most of the time ;), learning how to live with someone, figuring out what works and what doesn’t day-to-day, who’s going to do what around the house, figuring out expectations, becoming parentS- instead of just parent (me), getting ready for a new baby(!)… my favorite though, is just knowing at the end of the day I get to curl up in bed with the one I love and that I am meant to be with. There is just such a nice security in knowing you have someone and they have you. </p> <p align="center">Is marriage all that I thought it would be? Yes and no. Insert a big “DUH” here —> it’s been a little harder than I thought it would be. haha. Just all of the adjusting, in every sense. But, it has also been <em>great! </em>I think our situation is a little different than most of our friends, starting off with having an almost 4 year old and then throwing in a pregnancy about 6 months later! It’s definitely been challenging at times, but I wouldn’t trade it! Philip has done an amazing job with Aubrey, and I know he will do amazing with our little boy :) </p> <p align="center">He has also been a wonderful husband. He’s very thoughtful and always willing to help out around the house when asked, or even without being asked. He works <em>very </em>hard to provide for our family, which is so appreciated. He’s been amazing during this pregnancy!! And, its really evident how much he strives to be a good husband- I got a good one! :) </p> <p align="center">Due to me being in school, I couldn’t take off time for us to really get away (major bummer!) so, we did a little mini getaway in Dallas. We left Saturday and stayed at a hotel in the West End (I’ve gone totally blank on the name, darn it). When we got there we just lounged around for a bit and then went to <a href="http://daddyjacks.org/">Daddy Jacks</a> on Greenville Ave. It was very reminiscent of our honeymoon in Boston :) Afterward, we went back to the hotel, but first walking to a little restaurant for some hot chocolate. Yummy. Sunday- we slept in!! I this point I was just about 30 weeks pregnant, so sleep was good ;) We ate a really good breakfast at the hotel, then lounged around some more, looked through all of our wedding pics (via FB), then ate the traditional top of the cake. Um, I’ll just say, the cake tasted much better a year ago ;) After that, we headed out for lunch and then that night went to Studio Movie Grill and saw Captain Phillips- so good!! </p> <p align="center">It was nice to get away, even if it wasn’t far or for long. The one-on-one, good conversation and relaxation time is all that was needed, and that’s what we got :) </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">About to go out for dinner. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yjIe0hKEom8/Uq8k6rM76VI/AAAAAAAAIAw/LIuNIzyqN8A/s1600-h/IMG_7074%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7074" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7074" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-bu0HELVsmvo/Uq8k7vlhIZI/AAAAAAAAIA4/5OhAPLljjRQ/IMG_7074_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="449" height="451"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-m18obzLNEBI/Uq8k8vBgfWI/AAAAAAAAIBA/rdT-AhyCJ18/s1600-h/IMG_7072%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7072" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7072" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-gtxlQj2PGwQ/Uq8k9SJJbvI/AAAAAAAAIBI/93LubUG9xaU/IMG_7072_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="329" height="440"></a></p> <p align="center">Eating the cake.

Her favorite is beside the couch/fireplace. It’s where we keep extra pillows and blankets, so she usually takes her little ‘babies’ in there and just hangs out. This time, she was reading her Bible :)</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-mQaFZpyq-lk/Uje051FGX-I/AAAAAAAAHmg/_gEZnwWjxTg/s1600-h/IMG_6469%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="3" face="Candara"><img title="IMG_6469" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_6469" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-zzBE92vqHo8/Uje06uV0EjI/AAAAAAAAHmo/HRILN8MVqGY/IMG_6469_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="382" height="384"></font></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="3" face="Candara">At the beginning of August our Foundation Group took a little trip to Cedar Creek Lake. Well, as I was finishing packing and getting myself ready, Aubrey was in my room with me and started playing with the drawers of my dresser. Didn’t really think anything of it, so I left the room. I was down the hall and just happened to glance into my room and at the same time hear Aubrey start yelling out as the whole dresser, my big picture, jewelry holder and some milk glass come tumbling to the ground… and basically on top of Aubrey! I run down there tell her to move and grab what I can, hoping all the drawers don’t break! Luckily, the only thing damaged was one of my (favorite) milk glass pieces, but oh well. The glass from my picture came out but didn’t break- thank goodness! After regaining my composure, I look at Aubrey and she just has this look of fear/sadness and says “I’m so sorry momma!” and starts bawling. Break my heart. I’m sure she was just really scared of what just happened.. and probably scared she was going to get in big trouble! haha. Which she didn’t. We just had a talk about things not to play with, and that it was an accident. And, really, it was my fault.. I should have seen that coming. :/ Lessons learned. </font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-SHRlQcK51ho/Uje07iF-p7I/AAAAAAAAHmw/emhXYsmzg0s/s1600-h/IMG_6473%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="3" face="Candara"><img title="IMG_6473" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_6473" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-gmLayU2nJL8/Uje08SR5K4I/AAAAAAAAHm4/CxiwyEDPNf8/IMG_6473_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="444" height="446"></font></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="3" face="Candara">So, that whole fiasco kinda set me back on finishing getting ready for my trip.

It was pretty much amazing that everyone (on both families) were able to get everyone together for a pic! It was flippin hot outside, so we made it snappy. Glad you can’t see all the sweat ;) We just brought my tripod and did the self timer.

Kinda. There is no in between class at her school, from the 4 year old class she was in and the kinder class, so it was either repeat the class she was in or go to kinder technically a year early, which is what most of the kids in her class chose. So far, she has loved and is doing great!! She has learned so much already and talks to me way more about what she has learned than she did in the 4 yr class. She will still do kinder again next year bc I’m probably going to pull her out of her school in December during Christmas break.

Philip will occasionally surprise me with flowers, but this time, out on a donut run, he came back with flowers for Aubrey. He called her into the living room and gave them to her, she was sooo excited! She just kept looking at the flowers and then to Philip and then to me, haha. And kept saying “thank you Philip! they are so pretty! I love them!” As I was putting them in a vase, she kept saying to pull some out for me. I told her they were just for her and then Philip said he’d take her to pick some out for me. She is so sweet!

I’ve been feeling him a for a while, but about 20-21 weeks is when I really started feeling more consistent and definite movements.He;s been hanging out pretty low though, just started feeling move more up closer to my belly button area (as of 22 weeks) It didn’t take long after that for him to really pick up the pace though! I was mostly feeling him around 4-6 pm, laying down or reclined, but now, its in the mornings, at school, in the car, sitting or laying down. He’s a mover now! Aubrey and Philip can feel him too, which is great! (Well, Aubrey sometimes, she isn’t very still and doesn’t wait long enough, haha) It’s such a great feeling him moving around. Love it!

So, maybe those old wives were right ;) </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#4f81bd" size="4">We decided to have a gender reveal party. Really, it was more Philip’s wanting than mine, I just wanted to find out right then and there! :) But, I’m glad we had the party, it was fun! We decided to go with the silly string and had Natalie be in charge of bring the right color, we didn’t talk too much during the party- needed her to keep her poker face! :) </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#4f81bd" size="4">The party was mostly family with a few friends. It was nice to just have everyone here and hang for a bit. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#4f81bd" size="4">Didn’t go overboard with the food or decorations. Just kept it simple and casual- the way I like most things ;) </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#4f81bd" size="4">To begin the day: </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#4f81bd" size="4">As we were getting ready for our appt at 12:30, around 10ish I get a call from the office saying that there were 2 births going on that day and they would need to reschedule my sono! I almost started crying. I told the lady that we were having a reveal party that night, so she said she’d see what she could do and call me back. Called back and said to be there at 11! Woohoo! I was excited to have Aubrey be there and hear the heartbeat and see the baby on the “tv”. She was pretty interested in the heartbeat (and the midwife even let Aubrey hear her own).. but, she wasn’t so interested in seeing the baby, according to her, it didn’t look like a baby ;) </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#4f81bd" size="4">Since the normal rooms where there sono would have taken place were occupied, the sono was set up in the family waiting area! haha. </font><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_FDtvAOAy-k/Uhvs-nqjD6I/AAAAAAAAHfA/y-PnH82hb1g/s1600-h/IMG_6509%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><font color="#4f81bd" size="4"><img title="IMG_6509" style="border-top: 0px;

At my very first appt at about 7 weeks to my about 13 weeks appt I might have lost 3lbs. Different scales so I don’t know for sure. From 13 weeks to 16 weeks when I weighed at home, no weight gain. But again, different scales. So, I’ll be real curious to see if any change when I go next week (same scale as 13 weeks). I am growing, so, hope its ok if I haven’t gained, or gained very little? I get full pretty fast when eating, don’t finish most meals. And, I was craving fruit for a while, so..?? Guess we’ll see soon though! </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="5" face="Browallia New">Been feeling the baby move! Not a ton, but some is better than none! Mostly the little tickle feeling.. but. maybe some more definite movement too? Can’t tell for sure.

I’ve got a good balance between nervous/excited. Been reading lots of stories and techniques to help with labor and excited to take a Bradley Method birthing class soon. I’m sure I’ll elaborate on all this a little more later. If anyone out there reading this has any experience in this area (home birth/birthing center/midwife-tips/tricks/advice) holla at me!! ;) </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="5" face="Browallia New">Find out gender next week!!! Super excited! My gut says it’s a boy (and apparently so does everyone I know!) which I will be totally happy with. I just hope for a girl for Aubrey’s sake to have a sister as soon as possible. I actually picture more boy things than girl things. If it’s a girl I’ll be totally shocked actually. We’ll do a small gender reveal party the night we go to the sono- baby better cooperate! ;) Can’t wait to knock a side off our baby names.. maybe it’ll help us agree on something! Ha! </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="5" face="Browallia New">Guess that’s it? Oh wait, no memory!! Can’t remember a dang thing.

Anytime I’m extra tired or sleepy she’ll say “Is that baby making you feel that way?” all sweetly. She’s been talking to the baby more too. She changes her voice when she does (the baby might be really confused when it comes out! haha) kinda like baby talk, sort of. It’s cute though, I’ll have to record her. But, she’ll say “Its morning time baby! Are you hungry for breakfast? Are you ready to come out?” Sweet girl. Can’t wait to see her in action when the baby is actually here! To help her understand timing, I’ve told her the baby will come after Christmas. So randomly she’ll say, “So, my birthday, then Christmas, then the baby comes!” Love her! </font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Leelawadee">Starting my second trimester now- yayayayay!

Shockingly, we were blessed with only having to try for one month. I honestly did not think I was. I kept looking for any sign or symptom, and anything I felt could have easily been compared to PMS. So, I decided to go ahead and take a test, technically 1 day earlier than I was supposed to. To my complete amazement, 2 lines showed up!! Instant tears. Pretty faint though… so over the next few days I took a total of 5 tests! HAHA! I know, I’ve been through this before, and I know any line means “yes”, but, I just kept comparing everything to when I was pregnant with Aubrey and nothing matched! Aubrey’s test might as well have been a neon sign with how bright and fast it showed up, and I had every text book symptom with her, even before I took a test. Basically, I need to stop comparing because <em>nothing</em> is the same except there is a baby in there! :)))) </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">I took the first test while Philip was outside in the backyard working on stuff but did not tell him until the next night. Torture. I wanted to do something a little creative for him, and I wanted to take another test in the morning. So, I photo screened some pictures on my phone of little comic joke things and that next night while we were in bed I just casually gave him the phone and told him there were some funny pictures I wanted him to see. He scrolled through them with the last one landing on the pic of the positive pregnancy tests. He looked at it for a few seconds, then looked back at me, I just smiled. Then he was like “Wait…” He was a little slow at catching on… haha. But, he was excited! </font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3z9tepmvIQM/Ub9HpVSxYqI/AAAAAAAAHDw/PdVWnPHEqE8/s1600-h/IMG_5810%25255B3%25255D.png"><img title="IMG_5810" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_5810" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5lykXp7IWd0/Ub9HqY1yBCI/AAAAAAAAHD4/32Cui_4TqOA/IMG_5810_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="286" height="429"></a></p><font face="Ebrima"></font> <p><font face="Ebrima"> I wanted to wait until I went to the doctor before I made it FB official… even though tons of people already knew. I just can’t keep a secret ;) Doctor said everything looked perfect and the baby had a heartbeat of 163- I’m hoping the old wives tale will work in my favor on that one- girl! Though, I last night I did have a dream I had a boy!! Ha! Though, really, I will be just as happy either way. I just want Aubrey to have a sister as close in age as possible… but, I also do want a boy at some point, so, either way is just fine with me :) </font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Ebrima">Amazing.

She asked if she had a baby in her tummy too. Sweet girl. She is now pretty aware and even made an announcement to her class at school that her momma has a baby in her tummy! :) She is dead set on it being a girl (sibling intuition??). I can’t wait to see her as a big sister- I know she will love it! Though, I’m sure there will be a little jealousy at first. It is a little weird to think she won’t be the only one anymore. By the time the baby comes, it will have been only her for 5 years! It will be a change for us all ;)</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">My new lock screen pic for my phone- love it! <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-OIhYVkKjrmw/Ub9HuQ-B26I/AAAAAAAAHEQ/_BCiqRwxFec/s1600-h/IMG_5980%25255B7%25255D.png"><img title="IMG_5980" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_5980" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-uLkExWxyIXI/Ub9HvlVPMoI/AAAAAAAAHEY/_FFptH5FJsw/IMG_5980_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="409" height="411"></a></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3" face="Ebrima"></font> </p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">So, let’s see, some symptom's/cravings I have been having: </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">-Right away I had trouble sleeping. Even before I found out. It’s like all of a sudden I couldn’t get comfortable, I’d toss and turn, get hot… not typical at all. Which, is really weird, bc its not like the baby was making me that way, it was like the size of a dot! Ha! Sleeping has gotten a little better… either that, or I’ve just figured out how to get comfortable now. If I already feel this way now, its going to really suck in a few months! :) That was the only “sign” something was different. Like I said, I didn’t at all think I was. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">-boobs got sore, bad sore, starting may 11th. just now starting to get some relief. I’ll be glad when that’s over! </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">-smells have not really been a problem at all. Every now and then something will smell stronger, but never to where it makes me feel sick. Except garlic. Ugh!! </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">-I’ve pretty much been able to eat normally. Every now and then I won’t be able to finish something, like I just get totally turned off by it mid eating. I thought milk was going to be a problem for a while, luckily that went away. That would have been AWFUL. I crave stuff more than I dislike stuff. My first real craving was for sonic- chicken strip sandwich and fries. haha! We were at community group and its all I could think about the whole time, as soon as we left, we went to Sonic! I do not remember having cravings like this with Aubrey at all. I really like cold stuff, fruit, salads, popsicles, jello, pudding, LEMONADE, and lot’s of ice water. Though, I’ll never turn down a good pizza! ;) </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">-Emotional!!! For a few weeks I was constantly on the verge of tears. I just felt sad, and really, kind of depressed. It was really strange and I did not like it at. all. I do still get emotional, but, its not quite so bad now though. I say that, but just a couple of days ago, Philip and I went to an antique store, I needed to go to the bathroom (which was broken), my legs were burnt to a crisp and killing me, and I was getting tired… I told him we needed to leave bc I was about to start crying! There have been other instances where I’ve cried with no reason at all- so annoying. I feel so stupid for crying but I just can’t stop myself. I know Philip must think I’m a crazy person ;)</font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">-Potty breaks like crazy!! I told Philip our toilet paper bill is going to go up, haha. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">-Definitely been pretty tired. For a while I was taking a nap almost every day, but that has dwindled down. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">Guess that’s about it on that. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="3" face="Ebrima">Pictures. Let me just give a disclaimer, or something… For a while I was pretty bloated, so it made me seem like I was showing more than I really was. Also, I did not start off with a flat stomach, I know- shocking ;) so, that has definitely played a part I think. I just feel kinda silly that I think I’m actually legitimately showing now- at only 9 weeks! Though, some outfits make me look more pregnant than others- some just make me look fat and frumpy, haha. So, really it just depends on what I’m wearing. But, I’d say there is a bump there. Still a mushy bump, but, a bump none the less ;) Most of my clothes (shorts and pants) don’t really fit, just tight and uncomfortable, but maternity clothes are still too big, so I’m in that awkward annoying stage. Yay. So, I’ve decided to just embrace it all- you’re supposed to show faster with the second one anyway, right?! :) </font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-q5aRCuYXKEQ/Ub9HwKubFeI/AAAAAAAAHEg/Bfl8-5GLlNI/s1600-h/IMG_5971%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_5971" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_5971" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-RaAC7oOB7sE/Ub9Hw1LSbSI/AAAAAAAAHEo/uYyZzz8GNsQ/IMG_5971_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="390" height="392"></a></p> <p><font size="3" face="Ebrima">So, these were taken 1 day apart.

Whoops. So, we kept walking… but, the snow quickly turned from snow to sleet.. and that hurt!! We stopped under the stoop of a building for a bit, now pretty wet and miserable. We trekked the rest of the way and picked the first restaurant we saw! Which luckily, was really yummy! And.. expensive :( Also, right as we were about to set out, I quickly realized the boots I had on were not going to cut it! So, off to DSW we went! These were really cute and not too pricey, on sale!, perfect for the rest of the week- think I wore them everywhere we went after that! Perfect for walking on snow/ice. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wpiz9qbjNT8/USwXDDB-D5I/AAAAAAAAGuI/E16ZlN0IvM4/s1600-h/IMG_4383%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4383" border="0" alt="IMG_4383" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-aZKEJmZ-mok/USwXDyoSdHI/AAAAAAAAGuQ/23PE0UE6ddQ/IMG_4383_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="303" height="304"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-tOIxMmksvAc/USwXESCx46I/AAAAAAAAGuY/yefDfIDqYwc/s1600-h/IMG_4392%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4392" border="0" alt="IMG_4392" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kq2dpCCPaZQ/USwXE7NvDTI/AAAAAAAAGug/7pq2fLE6QpU/IMG_4392_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="434" height="328"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-r0gJkBf8LP0/USwXFnqxe7I/AAAAAAAAGuo/gOa7oP-_OI8/s1600-h/DSCN0134%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0134" border="0" alt="DSCN0134" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-3byyeuVEVlQ/USwXGJfefUI/AAAAAAAAGuw/qGIKp74wDJk/DSCN0134_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="285" height="380"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-M85AHpIlDd8/USwXG6Nn7-I/AAAAAAAAGu4/Xl8wqxO-VTY/s1600-h/DSCN0136%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0136" border="0" alt="DSCN0136" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-thCnBzO2ij4/USwXHYnbT0I/AAAAAAAAGvA/d8w49a25ANE/DSCN0136_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="409" height="309"></a></p> <p>Hair not lookin so good.

(I’ve never been one for hats, but I am so glad I brought this one! It was miserable not having your ears covered!) This is what it looked like maybe an hour after we got back to the hotel.

There were stops that you could get off at and then just wait for the next one to show up when you were ready to move on. Since we were wanting to check out Harvard, we hopped off on one of the buses and took the subway to Harvard! First time for either of us on a subway (and first time for me to be in a taxi, haha) Not quite what I thought it’d be.. just reminded me of riding the DART!

Also, not quite what I expected. Kinda disappointed actually. Just nothing that really stood out. We went to the Harvard Museum of Science and I asked the lady where the “main” spot of Harvard would be, for picture purposes, like a big sign that says “Harvard”… nothing. She said the main photo op spot was a statue, which we passed on the way in and didn’t think much of! haha! So, we went back and took our picture there anyway. We didn’t go in any buildings, other than the museum, but it was Christmas break so not sure they would have been open anyway. Cool to say we’ve been though! </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Qq4SkR28hno/USwXfXA-WCI/AAAAAAAAGz4/OQcmgxyAnIM/s1600-h/DSCN0226%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0226" border="0" alt="DSCN0226" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-AJmKkTo9w-w/USwXfwsudAI/AAAAAAAAG0A/-VKKeCpM5f4/DSCN0226_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="296" height="224"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ZvShW4Yn37o/USwXgUQLZTI/AAAAAAAAG0I/RDUHyOGgVIw/s1600-h/DSCN0239%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0239" border="0" alt="DSCN0239" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-lfu5g4wMg9Q/USwXg-ozB8I/AAAAAAAAG0Q/eNhZkhJGr4A/DSCN0239_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-UQ7wC90HL9Y/USwXhiq2R1I/AAAAAAAAG0Y/MS4LT-Ip6Ck/s1600-h/DSCN0243%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0243" border="0" alt="DSCN0243" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-jcKY3BKEwms/USwXiPPmt6I/AAAAAAAAG0g/2GpfkQ7gYuk/DSCN0243_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a></p> <p>Inside the museum they had a coat room! haha.

These pictures are horrible quality, the lighting in there was really hard to work with! But, these things looked so realistic! Someone hand made (and they were really old) all of these and students use them in some of their classes because they are so realistic. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-YhVWWgs6HyA/USwXq2V2-nI/AAAAAAAAG2c/SnZmvvqtCIQ/s1600-h/DSC_1197%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_1197" border="0" alt="DSC_1197" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-EmCQeeuBf5U/USwXrQ0gDqI/AAAAAAAAG2k/L0f6gjEK-RI/DSC_1197_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="341" height="230"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IxgTzxjDOwg/USwXsHufCEI/AAAAAAAAG2s/VbBEWRjt5Wg/s1600-h/DSC_0001%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0001" border="0" alt="DSC_0001" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-xZbbboLL5-k/USwXsV3c4UI/AAAAAAAAG20/xuUT1LRObvE/DSC_0001_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="345" height="234"></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-iL0W6SYN7s4/USwXtA5m4QI/AAAAAAAAG28/H1Hv8yKuhEk/s1600-h/DSCN0279%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0279" border="0" alt="DSCN0279" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-9LK_UeOV4bM/USwXtsSajvI/AAAAAAAAG3E/PQWNln9c_-0/DSCN0279_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="340" height="454"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-vPQodTidF10/USwXuZyHzyI/AAAAAAAAG3M/KwFZ-Qe4ey0/s1600-h/DSCN0280%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0280" border="0" alt="DSCN0280" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HwhXsoXRya0/USwXvIpkutI/AAAAAAAAG3U/lVETFmKlZcY/DSCN0280_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-herfJ9MPbHo/USwXwFXoWSI/AAAAAAAAG3c/Ox2A3l0htWQ/s1600-h/DSCN0281%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0281" border="0" alt="DSCN0281" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Snr6mNJxm7o/USwXwosFpwI/AAAAAAAAG3k/MMyksaatsqE/DSCN0281_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-E0NdPXYi61I/USwXxP9UEAI/AAAAAAAAG3s/fKUi_YjXEHg/s1600-h/DSCN0289%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0289" border="0" alt="DSCN0289" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-OInTZzIBy7c/USwXxyqacCI/AAAAAAAAG30/Kl60ONXZMX0/DSCN0289_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="294" height="223"></a></p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Kebv03v12A0/USwXylC9qkI/AAAAAAAAG38/ZRqjtRcHEfk/s1600-h/DSCN0292%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0292" border="0" alt="DSCN0292" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3C9eWXYL_fI/USwXzSHEKnI/AAAAAAAAG4E/WpRZJYaMOUM/DSCN0292_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="294" height="223"></a> <p>We also saw part of MIT.

On the way though, our driver (who had a major Boston accent!) pointed out some “famous” facts, where they filmed “The Departed” (which was kinda cool, bc we watched it after we got home and it was cool to see all the same spots where we went.. we could have stood were Leo DiCaprio stood! ;) She also pointed out where past Presidents have stayed, where JFK lived, John Kerry, other political stuff.. where Tom Brady and Giselle play in the park with their kids, haha. We also went by Wrigley field, which was actually really, really small and in the middle of a neighborhood! If we had more time there would have been a lot more places we would have liked to go. Next time :) </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-tTm6SQ8wTXs/USwX1YBjKHI/AAAAAAAAG4c/V7W1ihCormw/s1600-h/DSCN0303%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0303" border="0" alt="DSCN0303" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ITESS957FKs/USwX138RuII/AAAAAAAAG4k/Rswo7D34kxE/DSCN0303_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-aGnQ0d5mjR0/USwX2fvhywI/AAAAAAAAG4s/hX1lZ_4hsBE/s1600-h/DSCN0306%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0306" border="0" alt="DSCN0306" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NSOVhbxbXcc/USwX2wrH8AI/AAAAAAAAG40/2jzhnG1m-Qk/DSCN0306_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a></p> <p>We finally made it back to our hotel, super exhausted, and no time to nap :( I got spoiled with that! haha.

It was actually a lot of fun and something really different. The food was really good, and got lots of it! Music, dancing, silly get up to wear. There were decks you could go out on, but, it was flippin cold and windy!! I ran out there just long enough to take some probably not worth it pictures, and then ran back in! The only bad part was, we were seated right by the doors! So, for everyone that went out there and lasted 30 seconds, we got all the wind blown on us every time! The table next to us joked about us scooting our table over so it blocked the door.. which was very tempting. </p> <p>(Oh, my camera battery died, of course, so, phone pics it was!) </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xZh_lx5NUHI/USwX6J8jTqI/AAAAAAAAG5M/8oi0cWFKYK0/s1600-h/DSCN0324%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0324" border="0" alt="DSCN0324" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3UuSdvhlL_8/USwX6vFh2MI/AAAAAAAAG5U/HMsAHTP-SnE/DSCN0324_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="209" height="278"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-CE81b-8NP10/USwX7AI3BeI/AAAAAAAAG5c/_NvD2lhYbxo/s1600-h/DSCN0325%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0325" border="0" alt="DSCN0325" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vt-sMvjuTBI/USwX7r6F7VI/AAAAAAAAG5k/zfXFOnJzO8I/DSCN0325_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="210" height="280"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-JH6Gr__TBi8/USwX8f7VfmI/AAAAAAAAG5s/3tvQ59G9VUs/s1600-h/IMG_0824%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0824" border="0" alt="IMG_0824" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-k7JhoSr_J9E/USwX8uMc1uI/AAAAAAAAG50/WXR4Ywh2jNA/IMG_0824_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Y1VoJu6e6A4/USwX9StPnYI/AAAAAAAAG58/8OdWC1DMvTo/s1600-h/IMG_4467%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4467" border="0" alt="IMG_4467" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ZcRUzwgC20c/USwX9_ZUEgI/AAAAAAAAG6A/mmuGPxnBJWc/IMG_4467_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="278" height="211"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-8v90ZWfM_R0/USwX-qZmqqI/AAAAAAAAG6I/q9E6rhWJvYs/s1600-h/DSCN0333%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0333" border="0" alt="DSCN0333" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Kt-TYc403xg/USwX-7ePc2I/AAAAAAAAG6Q/JkkAE-3lD8Y/DSCN0333_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="229" height="305"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-S8yaPGISZD4/USwX_gbzlbI/AAAAAAAAG6Y/QTz-XiaNDlQ/s1600-h/DSCN0334%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0334" border="0" alt="DSCN0334" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-08o59vjAgt0/USwX_3rrdJI/AAAAAAAAG6g/RrcSCJq5DB4/DSCN0334_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="269" height="360"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-g-ct1Cz6FFs/USwYApD5DvI/AAAAAAAAG6s/9HOtM4kv5Gw/s1600-h/IMG_4441%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4441" border="0" alt="IMG_4441" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hIGnQY1SRXk/USwYBccq_jI/AAAAAAAAG60/jy_EfumxTLc/IMG_4441_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="417" height="317"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-jDFW2Lpa3rg/USwYB8zhOAI/AAAAAAAAG68/D2Fcu5qoU6Q/s1600-h/IMG_4437%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4437" border="0" alt="IMG_4437" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-KlO0bZb3Wek/USwYCWz_tJI/AAAAAAAAG7E/1zVx7EEjxgw/IMG_4437_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="269" height="360"></a></p> <p>Yummy and fun dessert! </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-tNYQ7IXbrm0/USwYCwpv7DI/AAAAAAAAG7M/Cgs7jmuDkV0/s1600-h/IMG_4442%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4442" border="0" alt="IMG_4442" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-WEY1M_T4Gl4/USwYDb4ZKeI/AAAAAAAAG7U/qzW6NWrlXGM/IMG_4442_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="231" height="308"></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Included in our package, was six drink tickets per person, so..

Everyone waited till the last minute! It was pretty cool to watch the fireworks over the water.. pretty romantic ;) </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-WQ-x41lujgU/USwYFFvOb7I/AAAAAAAAG7s/ofMl0VVvlj0/s1600-h/IMG_4457%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4457" border="0" alt="IMG_4457" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-EsJsaNFvfBU/USwYFYjJKBI/AAAAAAAAG70/2vMe82zBLXA/IMG_4457_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="271" height="205"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-BfF8L360BjY/USwYF7DuP7I/AAAAAAAAG78/FKM5-49f93I/s1600-h/IMG_4449%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4449" border="0" alt="IMG_4449" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-sJ46A8T0Z7s/USwYGWEFaMI/AAAAAAAAG8E/M0f0KUfY-tM/IMG_4449_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="222" height="296"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_htJxjPYuu8/USwYIzn9RlI/AAAAAAAAG8M/VALrLQc7f4I/s1600-h/IMG_4473%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4473" border="0" alt="IMG_4473" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-pa0CbRMg68k/USwYJz73j1I/AAAAAAAAG8U/_fqWYEjLhPk/IMG_4473_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="338" height="339"></a></p> <p>Then, at about 1:15 am, we got off and waited for a taxi. And, waited. And.. waited. So, against my will, we walked. And, walked and walked and walked. On snowy ice. In high heels. Totally not how I wanted the night to end. But, it made for a story and memories! haha. I really was shocked at how many taxis <em>weren’t</em> out on NYE! Lame. </p> <p>The next day, our last full day, we kept it kinda chill. We walked (again) down to Faneuil Hall Marketplace for lunch and little shopping. Really neat place, all the way through the middle they had different food “stands”, all sorts, then some eating areas, and then on the outside were all the shops. We got some pizza and then a mixture of desserts to take back to the hotel. And, souvenirs. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/--soWpHnhVXU/USwYKgxAU9I/AAAAAAAAG8c/3Rybu3aDfsM/s1600-h/DSCN0342%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0342" border="0" alt="DSCN0342" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kODfvt8pHnE/USwYLbA9kdI/AAAAAAAAG8k/EqQUJRtbGTU/DSCN0342_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="353" height="267"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-fMU2besFw_g/USwYLx5gdSI/AAAAAAAAG8s/NJXPBJ99WP0/s1600-h/DSCN0349%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0349" border="0" alt="DSCN0349" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-gmNuyrt1fZg/USwYMT4OyrI/AAAAAAAAG80/oUQv7Zn4YfU/DSCN0349_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="317" height="240"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9VaRIaUZYZI/USwYND7KeDI/AAAAAAAAG88/EituLIvygqE/s1600-h/DSCN0350%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN0350" border="0" alt="DSCN0350" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jnpvRnE-wIE/USwYNuEzAaI/AAAAAAAAG9E/SEOk6uUlvUg/DSCN0350_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="311" height="236"></a></p> <p>The rest of the day we just chilled in the hotel. We were pretty exhausted from the week! So, it was nice to just relax. :) I pretty much fell asleep every time I read.

I think I bought milk one time, ONE time, while we were there… so, by the last night, I was <strong><em>really </em></strong>craving some! So we decided to splurge and order a glass from room service, $3. Which of course is the price of a gallon! But, I <em>needed</em> milk. So, we figured tip like $1-2? We had no idea was “appropriate”. So, they deliver it and Philip shuts the door and says “That milk just cost $9!” What?! Soo.. looking at the receipt, and the VERY tricky menu,.. apparently, there is a $3 delivery fee plus an 18% gratuity.. plus the tip we added!! So not cool. They hid all of that info behind the tab that holds the menu in! (but, still kinda worth it ;) </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-beZJgF6pZo8/USwYTdM910I/AAAAAAAAG-M/Y-pY9Nwiaic/s1600-h/IMG_4480%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4480" border="0" alt="IMG_4480" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-jn-nc3z60oA/USwYTrPJieI/AAAAAAAAG-U/CKFYERhBC3w/IMG_4480_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="241" height="321"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-qU-6y_600d8/USwYUJbkWMI/AAAAAAAAG-c/sV_zKsISCHY/s1600-h/IMG_4486%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4486" border="0" alt="IMG_4486" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-16F63mqqFh0/USwYUkMUbCI/AAAAAAAAG-k/lwQqPF7WnGM/IMG_4486_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="239" height="321"></a></p> <p>Then, the next morning, we waited until the soup shop opened bc we just had to get that soup one more time! We tried two other times when we went back, once they closed early, about 5 minutes before we got there, and then there were closed on New Years day. So, we got there right when they opened.. and they didn’t have the broccoli soup that day! :(( So, we got another kind.. but, not as good. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-i4VqbV_RlBk/USwYWGFd9iI/AAAAAAAAG-s/R882mvEXbbs/s1600-h/IMG_0853%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0853" border="0" alt="IMG_0853" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vJV7VfJ9OAQ/USwYWtuhEDI/AAAAAAAAG-0/H9jaPu-SHkA/IMG_0853_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="270" height="360"></a> </p> <p>Then, off to the airport we went. Just to go to 3 more! We got to the Boston airport about noon, missed our connecting flight in Cincinnati and had to wait an hour and a half, got sent to Nashville where we waited another 2 hours to head to Dallas. Putting us home around 11pm! The only plus, we got to see some cool scenery! Snow as far as the eye could see! I wish so bad there was a GPS tracker that you could follow while you’re flying, at one point I asked the flight attendant where we were flying over, she had to go ask the pilot.. which at that point was Scranton, PA (shout out “The Office”) but at some points I wonder if we could see Canada, or if what I saw was NYC at one point, bc it looked like it could have been! Maybe I should invent something for that :) (my phone GPS wouldn’t connect) </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-t6rFJGltEmE/USwYXdsJZFI/AAAAAAAAG-8/ChdUPn-Q3G4/s1600-h/IMG_4497%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4497" border="0" alt="IMG_4497" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-pjIWVzZBzA4/USwYXyOfX5I/AAAAAAAAG_E/RrbX2L2jkmE/IMG_4497_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0K36g-JwZpo/USwYYQ4cczI/AAAAAAAAG_M/-u9y3ecPPU8/s1600-h/IMG_4500%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4500" border="0" alt="IMG_4500" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-JQcpSs6wAf0/USwYY2A2XTI/AAAAAAAAG_U/x2GunWOdJ-M/IMG_4500_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-HelGt7l-vzo/USwYZfsmoQI/AAAAAAAAG_c/q9VUDAk4Cf8/s1600-h/IMG_4501%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4501" border="0" alt="IMG_4501" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fDCrJrfq--Y/USwYZhALf3I/AAAAAAAAG_k/WOFwqfETd-Y/IMG_4501_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a></p> <p>Waiting in the Nashville airport, eating some ice cream to help pass the time! </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yVrADoyYOA4/USwYaORAduI/AAAAAAAAG_w/RQyvCHhFx-g/s1600-h/IMG_4506%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4506" border="0" alt="IMG_4506" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-3BDoxk4ogy8/USwYau_kVDI/AAAAAAAAG_4/sQkmzQAX4_8/IMG_4506_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="219" height="292"></a></p> <p>Finally- home. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-HYYyEiDlm2w/USwYbYUyl3I/AAAAAAAAHAA/RYE2P6oLBFE/s1600-h/IMG_4509%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4509" border="0" alt="IMG_4509" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-qlKnUakmchU/USwYb_YvxvI/AAAAAAAAHAI/WDkeAcIFrn4/IMG_4509_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="231" height="308"></a></p> <p>It was an <strong>amazing</strong> trip, and I know I left out a ton! Partly, bc I didn’t want to bore you, and partly bc I don’t remember it all now! Shouldn’t have waited almost 2 months to document! I know it may not have sounded like the most relaxing honeymoon, but, it really was. Even though we were on the go a lot, it was fun to be somewhere new together and just do whatever we wanted. We’d both love to go back again! </p> <p>Yay for honeymoons! And yay for getting through this whole post! Ha! </p> <p><3</p> ~Laura~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458963585160436283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010823562821883191.post-24556842211400757242013-01-09T11:33:00.001-08:002013-01-09T12:03:44.226-08:00Birthday Girl<p align="center">Now that things are finally, <em>kinda</em>, slowing down.. my hope is to get caught up on blogging/pictures. There are so many from different occasions I want to document, from months ago up till now.. hopefully I’ll get to them all this week! Hopefully.. </p> <p align="center">First up: my sweet little baby went ahead and turn 4 years old!! I seriously can’t believe its been 4 years already. Sometimes, after she’s already fallen asleep in her bed, I’ll just go lay next to her and look at her, and the last 4 years just flash through my mind… its really just amazing the little girl she has turned into from that little baby that she once was. As much as I miss the baby and toddler years, I really am loving this stage (I think I always say that no matter how old she is! ha!) She is so independent, sweet, decisive, helpful, stubborn!, and funny! She is starting to get sarcasm, its pretty funny what she comes up with! There are days all she wants is me, and then others when I’m just an after thought- content in doing her own thing. I love how she’s totally into things now.. like, she’ll see something on TV or at the store and really take notice. She picks out things she wants or likes without me pointing something out to her. Some of the things she gravitates to really surprise me sometimes! I constantly catch her singing, kiddie songs or songs from the radio. She is always saying “I can do it by my own self”- so I try and let her as much as possible. She <em>loves</em> games- board games, card games, made up games.. doesn’t matter! She is looking older, losing even more of her baby face, which I hate and love. Can’t wait to see how she “turns out” ;) Lately, she’ll go into her room to play or watch cartoons and shut her door.. isn’t that what <strong>teenagers</strong> do??? So, I quickly have to remind her that the door stays open! Oh that girl, love her so much!! But, not to sound like she is this perfect little angel that does no wrong (hate when people make their kids out like that) there are plenty of times she drives me crazy with the attitude, the “I don’t want to/like it”, the begging for something after I’ve said no, the not always obeying, etc. She’s not perfect, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives, or at least, that’s what I focus on. Once she really understands, and <em>accepts</em>, that I’m the boss, I’m always right, and I always know better, then we won’t have any problems! Ha! ;) </p> <p align="center">Ok.. on to the party pics! This year, we went with a butterfly theme. It was a perfect weather day, which was great so that everyone could play outside! :)</p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><font size="5">Décor:</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-hO9Ww8w5YH8/UO3ELaf-alI/AAAAAAAAGI8/Y76e-d6qoVU/s1600-h/DSC_0439%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

Lots of parties going on- birthdays to bachelorettes to baby showers- fun fun!! :) </p> <p>To start off- Philip turns 31! I’m marrying an old man ;) </p> <p>His birthday is Oct. 9, but the Sunday before I threw him a surprise dinner and then games and dessert back at our house. <em>Somehow</em> he said he had a feeling something was up, but I really have no idea?! Nothing was out of the ordinary that we had done. Grr. Oh well :) </p> <p>First, we went to eat at Texas Road House where Sarah/Jeff, Amanda/David, Jenny/Brent and Emily/Mario joined- his friends from Ft. Worth unfortunately weren’t able to make it :( But, we still had fun.. even though we needed walkie-talkies to talk to the other side of the group since they split our tables up! >:/ who does that?! Lammmeee. If you have a party of more than 6, don’t go there. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-tp10zBQbh1U/UIYBYPOfA_I/AAAAAAAAFog/PKRPnsn8grQ/s1600-h/IMG_33235.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3323" border="0" alt="IMG_3323" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-sqktvQud9yA/UIYBZfyF8yI/AAAAAAAAFoo/3sekNDN2UDc/IMG_3323_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="358" height="480"></a></p> <p><strong>I</strong> knew better than to have the waitress do something for Philip’s bday, once he saw them coming he literally pointed his knife at me! Haha! But, it was Amanda, NOT me! :) He had to get on the saddle and basically yell “Yee-Haw!” I love David’s face in the background, haha. Philip knew I’d take a pic, that’s why he wasn’t looking towards me ;) All that humiliation and not even a free dessert.. lame again. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-mr6niDGhmy8/UIYBaZdXdzI/AAAAAAAAFow/Ss5AmcGrbqs/s1600-h/IMG_33214.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3321" border="0" alt="IMG_3321" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-2S1kvSeVNQU/UIYBbXTRBoI/AAAAAAAAFo4/ofwx7hgalBk/IMG_3321_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="266" height="355"></a></p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:12124017-b585-4665-8c3b-5272be747dab" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="523aa3c7-7688-4ce3-a53d-4316508d1d2b" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoBdDk7r_Ok" target="_new"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-yRdcVhr-_oc/UIYJFdF_INI/AAAAAAAAFtQ/MCM-dg9FHrE/video583b6abdf9a3%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('523aa3c7-7688-4ce3-a53d-4316508d1d2b'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"448\" height=\"277\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/PoBdDk7r_Ok?hl=en&hd=1\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/PoBdDk7r_Ok?hl=en&hd=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"448\" height=\"277\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div> <p>After dinner we headed to the house for dessert and “Cranium”.. that was entertaining!!

I didn’t grow up going every year, so it was always a treat when we did go. I really wanted Aubrey to go (since she’d never been, and she’s at an age to better appreciate it) but I wasn’t sure if it would happen.. its expensive y’all! ;) But, luckily it worked out and we planned to go… on the coldest day! :/ After much debate.. we opted to go for it- and I’m glad we did! :) </p> <p>I swear, we could go to a trash can and Aubrey wouldn’t care as long as we took the train! (the Dart.. which she actually calls the bus, haha) The last time we took it we went to the Zoo, so she kept thinking that’s where we were going.. and then we went to the petting zoo area, so then she really was confused! ha! </p> <p>Excited as can be to be on Dart train :)</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-nMZmUqRGBk4/UHy3st_FV_I/AAAAAAAAFf8/6NzJ9l-n_bU/s1600-h/IMG_3253%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3253" border="0" alt="IMG_3253" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-l-H2nrPBCoM/UHy3tOjKy1I/AAAAAAAAFgE/Y_dWPxjLr9c/IMG_3253_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="360" height="363"></a></p> <p>I brought my real camera.. but, the “on” button got switched on, so, no battery for me. :( iphone pics it is. </p> <p><em>As soon </em>as we walked in, it started to rain.. so we booked it to the barn area.

Crankiness set in pretty quick (by all, haha). Didn’t make it to the rides (Aubrey was just tooo tired, smack during nap time).. luckily a few days later, her daddy and granny took her again and hit up things that we didn’t.. so, she got a great overall trip to the fair! :) </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-tE6n3W1l3qQ/UHy4bFXfmpI/AAAAAAAAFnc/88AH3xDxY8g/s1600-h/IMG_3308%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3308" border="0" alt="IMG_3308" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-p9E4U4-UbHc/UHy4bnMEhBI/AAAAAAAAFnk/gDucv31N_Jw/IMG_3308_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="367" height="491"></a></p> <p>Yay for the fair!! :)</p> ~Laura~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458963585160436283noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010823562821883191.post-18127248665180275472012-10-03T16:07:00.001-07:002012-10-03T16:07:47.101-07:00My Girl<p> </p> <p>Pretty long overdue on a post about Aubrey. So here we go :)</p> <p>Some of her favorite things right now: singing, singing, and more singing, reading books, playing dress up, making up (quite imaginative!) stories, dancing around like a wild child, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and toast with honey- if I would let her, that’s all she’d eat- toast!! </p> <p>She is also really starting to verbally express her feelings. For the longest, if I told her no to something, or got on to her, she would stand there with her arms folded and say in her “most upset” voice, “I’m mean at you!” Which means, she’s mad at me because I was “mean”, haha. Now, if I get on to her, she will say I didn’t talk nice, or that I’m making her cry or sad, or that if I say “stop that” or “no” that those are bad words. Which, is her trying to tell me that I’ve hurt her feelings or that my stern voice doesn’t sound nice… but, my dear, that’s the way that works. ;) Sometimes, I can admit, she might be justified in her saying I didn’t talk nice, but, I’ll tell ya- sometimes my patience point has reached its max! haha. But, I do explain to her that what I’m saying isn’t a bad word or that I didn’t mean to make her sad, but that she needs to learn to listen and obey.. and all that good stuff. After I explain, she’s usually all good :)</p> <p>I know I put this on FB, but I want to document it here too, and it goes with the emotion talk. The other night, Aubrey was just playing around the living room, everyone minding their own, when she just starts stomping around and huffing saying “Ugh, I’m just so mad!” We’d ask why, concerned at first, but after she kept ignoring us and continuing with her rant, we realized she’s just messing around. So, she keeps saying she’s so mad and then “Ugh, I’m so mad! Someone! Please, pray for me so I’ll be happy!!” HAHA! So glad to know that a prayer can make all the difference :) </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-2lrcGoe8704/UGzDK4jzYQI/AAAAAAAAFZ4/oWZ0Sz1n4Ao/s1600-h/IMG_3126%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3126" border="0" alt="IMG_3126" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7oqJSr61pdo/UGzDOFmAKtI/AAAAAAAAFaA/A8_koQK3NgI/IMG_3126_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="341" height="343"></a></p> <p>We don’t have cable at “the married” house, so we’re back to Qubo! I actually really like this channel.. don’t have to worry about real sarcastic or mean cartoons, these are just nice and educational ;) So, on this channel, they play an infomercial for these slippers called “stomppies”, I think? Something like that. Anyway, I never thought Aubrey really paid attention but when we were at Target the other day, on one of the end caps she saw them! I was looking at something else and then all of a sudden I hear “"Ohhh! Stomppies!! My favorite!” Haha. She is super dramatic and enthusiastic! Even with all of her pleading and telling me which ones she wanted.. I didn’t get them. Hello, birthday and Christmas are coming up! ;)</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-l38xMWT1qoE/UGzDRZwizyI/AAAAAAAAFaI/XLKoQdl2nPU/s1600-h/IMG_3220%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3220" border="0" alt="IMG_3220" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-nAnIrMg8kBU/UGzDTlXo5sI/AAAAAAAAFaQ/rmklPUvFV-c/IMG_3220_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="261" height="351"></a></p> <p>Her favorite phrase right now is “You have got to be kidding me!” And, she uses it at just the right times.. always takes me off guard, but, its pretty funny when she says it.</p> <p>I think there is a little bit of jealousy springy up in dealing with Philip. She <em>loves </em>being around him, playing with him, or just asking about him a lot. But, I’ve noticed lately that if me and Philip kiss or hug in front of her, she wants a kiss and hug too, or if Philip and I are sitting next to each other, she’ll come sit by me too. She has not in the least bit acted out or thrown fits about me and Philip, but just that anything we do, she wants to do also. Its pretty sweet actually. So, we’re sure to always include her in whatever we’re doing! :) </p> <p>I think the transition to the new house will be much better than once anticipated. She <strong>loves</strong> being here and asks everyday if we’re going to “the married” house. She already knows she is going to have a new room here and we’ve already brought some of her stuff over. She is very comfortable here, which has brought such a peace to me!!</p> <p>She is also way excited about the wedding, and pretty much brings it up everyday. She keeps saying she is going to have a princess dress like me :) Unfortunately, the dress I have envisioned for her apparently does not exist.. so, for now, I’ve chosen something else, but I’m still keeping my eye out for what I’d really like for her!

Where does she come up with these things? :)</p> <p align="left">I also, really, love that she has not learned the meaning of competition yet. While we were playing that game, she would flip over cards when it wasn’t her turn to get the matches that she knew, but instead of finding them and then keeping them, she would say “Here you go, Mom, I found one for you!” She did this over and over. It wasn’t at all about who had the most matches or actually won, and I so appreciate that in her. </p> <p align="left">Always climbing the tree out front!!

In the 3 years she’s been there, I think she’s only gotten in trouble once or twice. And, that was in the first classroom she was in. She get’s along with all the kids and talks all the time about whatever teacher she has. It is such a blessing, and another peace, that I know she likes being there, does very well, and is learning so much. We both really like the themed days.. red and yellow day! ;) </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-isXt8LF6u1o/UGzEVt0hbzI/AAAAAAAAFdI/J85sbF2dx7w/s1600-h/IMG_3076%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3076" border="0" alt="IMG_3076" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pW_IOoXkjFs/UGzEX78sNYI/AAAAAAAAFdQ/ZEaTfHjMz6w/IMG_3076_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="294" height="296"></a></p> <p align="left">Caught her, before she saw me or one of the kids yelled out I was there- they always do that :/ haha.
