October is over?

How did this month fly by so fast? I feel like I ask that whenever any month comes to an end. Well today started my 2nd trimester! Yay! I should be home free out of the "sickness" stage very very soon. I feel like I'm pretty close now. :) I have a dr appointment next Friday and at that appointment I will schedule for the BIG ultrasound! Very exciting to already be this far! Every once in a while I will feel something that may be the baby, but conisdering how little the baby still is, it's hard to tell.

The boys have their costumes all ready to go for Halloween. Zachary will be a monkey, we found it at Old Navy. He loves his costume but doesn't really like wearing it LOL, we'll see how that goes. Joshua is going to be Superman. This changed tonight! He was supposed to be Lightening McQueen (Nicolas' old costume) but after seeing Nicolas' new one he wanted something different. So "grandma to the rescue!" went out to Kmart and bought him what he wanted tonight so he will have it for his preschool party tomorrow. :) Nicolas is going to be Spiderman and Oh My he is so funny yet adorable in it lol. It has built in muscles, which is just so funny to see on him!! Elijah is going to be a ninja (a good ninja :) he wanted to be a football player but that just didn't work out. So, stay tuned for pictures of the boys in their costumes!!

Zachary has been sick the past week, finally today I said enough is enough and brought him in. I had a feeling he had an ear infection and mommy was right. His right ear is pretty bad she said, also his throat doesn't look so great. We did a strep coulture but it came back negative, which is good. Poor guy just wasn't himself today. I let him nap until 6 pm (I know, not too bright, but I knew he needed it) and after that he perked up real good. Finally got him to bed at 10:30 tonight lol. Not sure he's ever stayed up that late.

Also, today I took pictures of the prettiest little girl out there. My niece! She's 4 months now and just sweet as ever. :) Here's one picture from our little mini session.



(I told you she was gorgeous!)

Thanks for all of you who try to keep up with our blog (shouldn't be too hard at this point considering I only update once every few weeks lol) I will try to get another post up after the weekend!

Hey out there...

We are still alive! Sorry for the long stretch in dates, I've been pretty sick this pregnancy but I think I'm starting to feel better so Praise God! I will be 10 weeks in a few days which is 2 wks short of my second trimester. The second trimester is the time "they say" you feel great. We shall see! haha

A few updates...

~ This past weekend Dan went to North Carolina to see his sister get married. I wish I could have gone with him but I know the plane ride would have been rough so I didn't even chance it.

~ Last Thursday Elijah pulled out 2 teeth! And he has 1 more that's being stubborn.

~ Nicolas has his first few loose teeth but they're not ready yet. He's pretty impatient though waiting for them, he's in 1st grade so most of the kids in his class have lost teeth already. Nicolas also is in the top 5 of his class (he was #4) for these computer math tests they take weekly. We're so proud of him! :)

~ Josh started speech a few weeks ago. He's been going once a week, it will be 26 weeks all together that he goes. So far I haven't noticed too many changes in his everyday speech but when he does his "homework" he does excellent!

~ Zack moved to a twin sized bed last week. He is definitely our difficult one LOL! At 2 1/2 it is a very very good day if he actually takes a nap. He's decided he just doesn't need them anymore, and honestly he's not crabby without one. But this pregnant momma needs to rest! He's also cut his hair like 3 times in the past month. He did it again today (with Josh) they were just being waaay too quiet, I should have known something was up. Ugh. I will have some GREAT stories to tell to their future wives, that's for sure! Haha

I have my 10 week dr appointment this Friday. I'm excited about it because I should be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. :)
