Big News!!







Ok, so part of my non-blogging was due to the fact that I've been sick. If you haven't noticed from my new title, we're having another baby. I wasn't deathly ill, just felt like I had the flu all the time, hence the no blogging. At this point, I'm feeling better as far as the flu part goes, but I'm still very tired and for some reason I seem to get a lot of headaches in my second trimester. This kid is pretty much exactly the same as my pregnancy with Isabelle except for the acne of course. So I must say, my daughter pretty much knows every show on TV by heart now and even greets Steve, or Joe with a big HI Steve, or Joe every time her favorite blues clues episode comes on, oh what a proud parent am I. I guess the good news is that I'm back to cooking sort of, (not that I was ever a good cook) so that means re-heated left overs for Jer instead of re-heated burgers at the local fast food joint, lucky duck, I know you're all wishing you could live this good.

Well, here's a sneak peak at our soon to be newborn. I'm 15 weeks along and due on Feb 1st. I cheated a bit and went to Fetal Photo's while in Utah...love that place, so here it is.......drum roll please........baby number two is a BOY!! Jer is very excited and it will be interesting to see how the wild child handles our new addition. I'm guessing she's going to be ticked, but maybe she'll surprise me. Let's hope!! Oh, he still looks like skelator right now, but even so, we're not naming him that.

Long time no blog!!







Sorry, but we've been on blogging vacation for quite some time now. I have to tell you, it's kind of been a nice break. Since we're back from vacation now, I guess I'll catch you up on our lives so far. We spent the past month away from Houston on one big long vacation. First we went to Oregon for Jer's family reunion, then we spend three weeks hanging out in Utah with my family. It was a ton of fun and Isabelle always enjoys the time she gets to spend with her Mommy/Grandma, or that's what she calls her anyway. I don't have a ton of pics, since I'm not very good at taking them and I had to unload a bunch on my parents computer which I forgot to email to myself, but here are a few of Izzy feeding my cousins dog as well as us playing at the zoo. It was a great vacation and we can't wait to see everyone again someday!! Oh, side note...Isabelle turned two while we were gone. Unfortunately, we weren't able to throw her a party in time because I was flying to Utah the day before her B-day, but we did manage to buy a cake, I just forgot to take pictures of it. Sorry for the lame-o Birthday Iz, I'll do better next year.
