Cousins, Birthdays & Gatherings!

After the family reunion a couple weekends ago, we went to David & Michelle's to watch the kids play, visit and eat dinner.

Here's fishy face at dinner time (imitating Grammy).

This was NOT an easy task!

Last weekend we went to Chuck E Cheese for cousin Braxten's birthday. Here are some shots of all the fun!

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today! Hard to believe! Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up). I weighed in at a whopping 109.8! My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special! Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!). Kevin's response "WHOA!" And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!" Ha! So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain! I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle." Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol! I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery. We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days. Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won! So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order). Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name! If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!). For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight! What do you think?!

Oh Baby, Oh Baby We Conceived...

We conceived our little miracle this time last year ( your estimated conception date was between Tuesday, September 29, 2009 and Tuesday, October 6, 2009--source babymed ). I have always thought my due date was off by 2 days, but either way we conceived around this time last year! My how things change in a year... what an incredibly blessed year it has been! I remember taking the pregnancy test a few weeks before Halloween. Crazy to believe this Halloween I'll be dressing up my 4 month old sweet lil' pumpkin! The very excited parents-to-be Halloween 2009. Halloween 2010: Our family of 4, is now 5 (hoping to get our updated Halloween photo this year!). Thank you Liam for completing me Here's to another beautiful year with our precious Liam David. We LOVED knowing you were growing inside of me, but we're even more excited to watch, love, and support you through what we hope will be a beautiful life! What an amazing journey...

Kevin, Shannah, Liam, Lorelei & Delaney
