Doctor's updates

Well Thomas and I both had doc appointments last week. Although I think that mine was a little easier than Thomas'!



Well let's see, we'll start with my appt. I have put on a whole 4 lbs! So the doc is not concerned because I am at least putting on weight. She said even if I put on a pound a week until the end of the pregnancy I would only put on 24 lbs! The baby is moving all over and apparently did not want the doc listening to his heartbeat because each time she would find his heartbeat he would kick or move right where the monitor was! Looks like the new baby's birthday will be on September 30th, the doc has already reserved the room for the c-section. It will be a special day since that will be the same day of my Grandmother's birthday! I go next Friday for my next ultrasound so keep posted for new pics!



Okay enough about me....now for Thomas' appt. He is 31inches tall and 24 pounds. He is in the 75% for his height and in the 50-75% for his weight. He does not like to be held down that is for sure. And since Mommy is a huge baby when it comes to shots, Daddy had to hold him down. He got his first Measels, Mumps and Ruebella shot as well as a TB test AND a chicken pox shot. Oh yeah and they had to poke his finger to test for anemia! WOW he was not happy and just wanted Mommy to hold him and wouldn't let me out of his sight for the rest of the day! But he did okay. I think he was just more ticked than anything because we had to hold him down.

The doc says he is healthy and perfect in every way! So we go back in 3 months.



We are working on getting off the bottle, we are now drinking more milk and eating more table foods and less of the "baby food" stuff. He especially likes corn on the cob, peanut butter and honey sandwiches and of course Cherrios!!

First Birthday

Well Thomas had his 1st birthday on Saturday! The whole month of May has been beautiful, even hot at one point. So when I sent out the invitations to have a party in the park I had no idea!! Last weekend we had temps in the 100's and when we heard "cool down" we thought PERFECT!! Until it rained on Friday, but the forecast was still promising, they said AM showers and clearing with temps about 70. So we had his picnic all planned! Then it rained on Saturday morning just hours before his party was scheduled. Oh well, change of plans, we'll do it at Grandma's house!

We got Thomas up early just so he would take his nap before his party and be nice and refreshed! Well he napped alright, he would have napped right through his party if I didn't wake him! So at the start of his party he was a little groggy! But perked up soon enough! And wouldn't you know it, it was the PERFECT day for a party! We ended up having it outside anyway! Okay so it wasn't at the park, but Grandma's backyard is just as nice, especially since she just got her fountain! So we had friends and family over to celebrate, and we had a picnic! We had sandwiches, and pasta salad we had chips and watermelon. And last but not least we had a cake....a train cake that Grandma made, it was adorable, and Thomas' piece was the engine car! He didn't dive right into his cake and smear it all over himself, apparently he isn't into "finger foods" haha He did put his hands in the frosting and whipped cream but was not into smearing it all over his face. The pics you'll see were taken one right after another, so if you play them fast enough it will look like a movie!

He had lots of fun opening his presents. He got a whole lot of really neat new toys and a bunch of clothes. And to end his party, we had a bunch of balloons that we wrote Thomas' 1st birthday, 5-24-08 on with a sharpie marker, and Thomas let them go one at a time. So if you see one in your neighborhood let us know! haha

So enjoy his Birthday Pics!

Recent pics

Okay I know, I've been a slacker....we've been busy trying to think of names for the new baby, with no luck I might add. We've been busy planning Thomas' bday party! And we went swimming a couple of times too! Thomas loves the water and I'm hoping soon he'll be swimming all on his own!

So here's a few recent pics, check back next week for his bday pics! And more updates on Baby#2! We have more doc appts and another ultrasound scheduled!


Can you believe he's going to be a year??? My little baby is growing up!!
What? I'm not getting into anything that isn't mine!!
Okay the story behind these pajamas....he got them from Grandma S at Xmas time, they were HUGE! So we put them in the drawer and waited....now they just barely fit him! I guess we either a.) waited to long or b.) he grew to fast!! Well we at least got him in them, and he is looks like a little boy!!! Isn't he adorable??

Baby #2 Updates

Here is the news everyone has been waiting for....(drum roll please)........

IT'S A BOY!

Yep that's right another boy! I know a lot of people are disappointed it's not a girl, but as long as it's happy and healthy that is all that matters right? And everyone keeps saying "next time". I'll tell y'all what, if my cousin Kerry will attempt a 3rd try to have a boy...then I'll attempt a 3rd try to have a girl!!!

So now we just need to come up with a name....any suggestions??? Send me an email or leave a comment with your name suggestions!

We couldn't get the best of pic from the ultrasound, this baby doesn't seem to want to be in pictures, Thomas was all smiles for his pics, so this will have to do for now!

We go back in 5 weeks for another ultrasound, they want to check some things once he is a little bit older. Other than that, he is healthy, heart beat is strong, and he's showing at about 8 oz so far. As for mommy's update. I still have not put on a single pound, I am the same weight right now that I was when I found out I was pregnant. The doc says she is not overly concerned about it at this time. I have also had my 1 hour glucose test and had to go back for a 3 hour glucose test, which means I will most likely need to control my sugars with diet so that this baby doesn't get too huge!! Thomas was 9lbs, 9oz, he can't get much bigger....can he? haha But my doc said as long as the baby is growing she isn't going to worry about my weight...and besides what was I complaining for, so many pregnant woman complain about gaining to much weight and here I was complaining about not gaining any! (What was I thinking?)

Other than that, keep checking back for updates!

And don't forget Thomas' birthday is coming up, so look for pics from his party too!!!
