What we did today....

69 degrees and sunny...gotta take advantage of days like these in TX!
So...we went to the park:










And then we had a picnic lunch by the water:



I love days like this. Ethan is now beyond worn out and sleeping :) As I was taking pictures, I told him, "You are so adorable!" and he replied, " Yeah mommy, I AM so adorable." Love him...but he's growing up way to fast. If anyone has any ideas on how to stop that from happening, please let me know!

Ethan's first tee ball game!

I had to hold back the tears...my lil' boy is growing up!! Ethan had his first tee ball game last Saturday, his team is the Rangers! They were all so adorable. None of them really knew what they were doing, but I was so proud, he caught on so quick! Except for the occasional, "I'm tired of standing here, so i'll go play in the dirt" moments, he did really well. Papa Jim and Diane came out to watch too, so he was really excited about that. James was out there the whole time helping him. He did well for about 30 minutes, and then was DONE. I don't blame him, it was pretty darn hot! I am so proud of my lil' boy...he is SO great :)

Labor Day 2010

Happy Labor Day everyone!

22 weeks and counting!

I had a check up Wednesday, and everything is still going great. Really all they do is listen to the baby's heart, force me to "weigh in" and check my urine...but still all is well :) I've gained a total of 5 lbs so far..really which was just in the past couple of weeks, thanks to my new found appetite. I have added two meals to my day...second breakfast, and pre dinner. It's worse when I'm working my 12 hour shifts, I have to bring so much food so I don't end up eating junk out of the vending machine! I've had a craving for cottage cheese with mandarin oranges and also for oreos with milk! I have oreos nightly before bed :) I'm allowed to splurge a little bit...right? Maybe it's time to switch to the lower sugar kind...I have my glucose screen at my next appt. Oct. 4th. The plan so far after speaking with my Dr. is to induce at 39 wks which will be New years day! We've decided on an induction for a few reasons...

1. Ethan was 8 lbs and 3 oz. (I am really scared of having a giant baby...and I DO NOT want a C/S if I can't push him out!)

2. We live 30 miles away from Parkland

3. My labor with Ethan was only 7 hours long. So if my water breaks at home I don't want to drive all the way to parkland.

We tried to talk my Dr. into Dec 30, but no such luck...I HAVE to be 39 weeks before she will induce. Of course this could all change, and it is depending on how baby is growing and developing. As for now, we are measuring a week and a half ahead of schedule per sono! So who knows maybe he will decide to come all on his own :)I'm a little less nervous about inducing than I was with Ethan because my body reacted really well to the Pitocin the first time. So here's hoping things continue to go as planned! My last day of work will be Jan 31st. until then we are busy finishing the nursery and getting some last minute home projects finished that have been hanging over our heads. My cousin Tiffany's wedding is this weekend, and Christine's baby shower is next weekend! So there's alot to do to keep us busy and our mind off of how much longer we have to go with this pregnancy!
