Baby #2: {13 weeks}

 

How far along? 13 weeks

Maternity clothes? Finally broke out my bin of maternity clothes and decided to wash some of them since the weather has been a little cooler lately.

Stretch marks? Not yet and I'd like to keep it that way.

Sleep: No complaints

Best moment this week: Getting an unexpected looked at baby and hearing that everything was fine.

Miss Anything? Being able to just go, go, go.  I really have to remind myself to take it easy and that I'm pregnant.

Movement: Little flutters, but nothing distinct.

Food cravings: None

Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Gender: Time will tell!

Labor Signs: None

Symptoms: Had some complications early last week, which had me leaving work early and speeding to the doctor's office.  Everything with baby checked out fine, but I was put on "relaxed" bed rest for Wednesday.

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Starting to feel a little more like my normal self.

Looking forward to: A calm week with not much to do and trying to relax so I don't end up on permanent bed rest!

Happy Birthday, Gigi!

This past weekend we celebrated Gigi's birthday with breakfast at Perkins.  We were a week late celebrating because she ended up having the stomach bug on her actual birthday and I try to stay clear of that illness!

 

Connor painted a bird house for Gigi...Happy Birthday!

Baby #2: {12 Weeks}

How far along? 12 weeks, but I feel further along since I'm so much bigger earlier this go around.

Maternity clothes? Maternity pants are much more comfortable, still wearing regular tops.

Stretch marks? Not yet and I'd like to keep it that way.

Sleep: Waking up about once to use the restroom.

Best moment this week: Finally letting everyone in on our little secret!

Miss Anything? My energy!  The house is in desperate need of a deep clean, but keeping up with a 3 year old is about all the energy I have these days.

Movement: Not yet.

Food cravings: No real cravings so far.

Anything making you queasy or sick: No.

Gender: Time will tell!

Labor Signs: None

Symptoms: Still pretty tired and I seem to be queasy in the evenings.

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: If you asked Matt and Connor, they'd probably say cranky!  My fuse is a lot shorter right now because I'm so tired and nothing is worse to me than feeling queasy.

Looking forward to: The cooler weather we are finally getting to enjoy!

So I didn't do the whole weekly bump pictures when I was pregnant with Connor and it's one of my biggest regrets.  I'm hoping somewhere deep down inside me I find an ounce of creativity because this first chalkboard took me about 45 minutes!

Jones, Party of 4!

Due March 30, 2013!!!

Details to come. . .

iPhone Randoms

I always end up with a bunch of random iPhone pictures, so here's a post just for them!

It's that time of year again!  However, this year, Connor is more interested in the actual football game instead of the Pom squad.

He's already been to both of Houston's home games, he's definitely a dedicated fan!

Labor Day weekend Matt was dove hunting with the guys, so Connor and I decided to go play a game of Putt Putt.  I knew he would enjoy it since he had so much fun on the cruise playing miniature golf.

He actually made a hole in one on this shot!

Connor also got his first T Ball set

Anything to keep him busy makes us happy, not to mention it wears him out

He hits all 16 balls and then goes out into the yard and basically does an Easter hunt to pick them all up, just to do it all over again!

Connor still has his OCD

Matt was jealous he didn't get to participate in the first trip to Putt Putt, so we went again this weekend.  Not sure who is having more fun!

Then Matt played this stupid balloon game and hit the jackpot

This is how many tickets we had...just imagine how long it took us to pick out the prizes at the end!

 

Then it was Go Kart time

Connor was so excited!

They were the only ones out there, so I wasn't worried of some stupid kid trying to bump them :)

A few weeks ago we went out to dinner in Arlington and stopped by Chase and Cassie's house.  Connor always asks to feed the goats, which used to cute but now they have gotten so BIG.

Chase wasn't too far away in case they decided to ram him

 

I'm thankful that we live in the city.  That's enough of a reason not to have a horse, cows, or goats in our yard.  Otherwise I think if Connor had it his way, our house would look like a petting zoo.  It's good to have family and friends with these kinds of animals, we can just visit and leave! 

Crystal Ball

If I had a crystal ball, this is what 12 years from now would look like!

 

 

 

 

Swimming Competitions

This past weekend we all went over to Kyle and Anna's house for some swimming and a cookout.  I was anxious about the pool since it had only been about a week since Connor's accident, but we decided to go.  The Olympics apparently had inspired the guys to do a dive competition.  

Kyle was first up and he had a little advantage since he does this on a weekly basis in his backyard

 

Matt was next, I just kept praying that he didn't smack his head on the board!

He looks a little scared right before entering the water

Finally it was Chase's turn...I think he was going for the biggest splash/waves

 

And he definitely succeeded!

Connor looked like he was in a wave pool

Connor built up enough courage to participate in the competition with the big boys

You know you've had a good time swimming when you hands are this pruned!
