3 More Months

My due date is in 3 months! It's kinda hard to believe. I love feeling the baby move. He/she is a very active little thing. According to babycenter, he/she is about 2 pounds and 14 1/2 inches longs. My next prenatal appointment is Tuesday to perform the awful glucose screening. This test requires me to drink a nasty, flat soda type drink (high in sugar) and then test my blood sugar level. I failed this last time I was pregnant and had to take the more horrible 3-hour which I also failed. Therefore, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and had to test my blood sugar 4 times a day! Needless to say, this was not fun. Hopefully I will pass this time.

Things I will not miss in 3 months:
  • crazy heartburn
  • having to pee every hour
  • being HUGE
  • having to roll out of bed (already!)
  • big-eyed looks when I say my due date isn't until October
Things I am looking forward to in 3 months:
  • holding this precious bundle
  • finally knowing if he/she is a boy or a girl
  • watching Lydia become a big sister
  • watching my family grow
  • unconditional love for another person
I didn't do the weekly cute belly photos for either pregnancy, but here is a few snap shots to compare:
7 Months with Lydia
Over 8 months with Lydia.

5.5 months with baby #2
Almost 6 months with baby #2
The big question is what will this baby's name be? Well, we've chosen: (I can't rotate video...)
Tyler or Madelyn!

Merry Christmas 2011

Santa brought Lydia a Play-Doh Ice Cream Parlor.





We opened presents at home with Joey's parents.




Putting together the barn.

The roof wouldn't snap properly and proceeded to come off repeatedly, but guess who fixed it later and it hasn't come off again. :)




We're getting two apple trees.


Helping Grandma








Then we went to visit Ma Rea and Grammy and Papa.


Gramma and Grandaddy's house was next. Lydia needed a nap, but refused to lay down. We caught her resting between lunch and presents.


My family loves to give my child cool whip!


Bev's gift was a custom ABC book of our family!
Judy's present.



Whit and Liz got cross-stitch pictures made by my Gramma!!!!

Thank goodness for Ice Age while the adults played the traditional White Elephant game.


Joey's family gathered at Matt and Becca's for supper. Lydia thoroughly enjoys playing with her cousins!








Reading a book before bed in new PJs and slippers.
A very long Christmas Day filled with family, love, and laughter was had by all!

Ashley's Wedding

Joey's youngest sister decided to get married. It took place yesterday at my father-in-law's church in Jacksonville. We were excited to be there.
Joey forgot his dress shoes and belt...


Rachel entertained herself during church by tying strings on Matt's fingers.

I kept Lydia quiet by singing in her ear,

and whisper-reading books.

Joey's mom had her hands full.

The summer of the babies

Holly's friend Hannah needed someone to keep her 3 month old two days a week. I jumped at the chance. Holly and Wyatt also came over every Tuesday and Thursday for the whole day. We had so much. Greyson was an easy baby and I just loved on him all summer.

Telling secrets

Happy, happy, happy

We had a photo shoot of the cutest boy babies in the world!
