baby update and pics of kiddos

WELL......... yesterday was a crazy doctors appointment!! I am now 18 weeks, and I will have an ultrasound on the 20th to see if this baby is a boy or a girl!! YAY! But...they had to re-do some of the bloodwork (for blood clotting disorders) because some of it was lost on the way to the lab. My doctor also recommended getting Progesterone shots weekly to hopefully prevent another early delivery. So, every week I have to go and get a BIG shot in my hiney!! YUCK!! I hate shots!! But I will do whatever I need to do to keep from having another premature delivery, and teeny tiny baby. (Weston 4lbs 14 oz, Gracie 3lbs 13 oz) So that is the scoop on me and the baby.

Gracie had her last soccer game Wednesday and they got little medals and a Munchkin Madness Tshirt. She ran more at this last game than she ever has! It was sooo cute.

Here are a few pics from Soccer and Weston practicing Basketball at home. Have a great weekend!

Fall Fun

We had a great Halloween weekend. Friday night was our Fall Festival at church, but I only took 1 picture, and Saturday night we went Trick or Treating in Jennifer's neighborhood. The kids had a blast!

Tomorrow I go back to the doctor. I found out last week that all the bloodwork that I thought came back good... well some of it was actually LOST!!! Yes...LOST!! They have put a trace on it but somewhere on the way to the lab, it was lost. Soooooo, I may have to have some of the bloodwork again. YUCK!!! I will find out tomorrow. I will hopefully schedule an ultrasound in the next few weeks to see if this little one is s boy or girl!!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend!

T.G.I.F

We have a the busiest week and I am , once again, SO glad it's Friday!! Weston had a Field Trip Monday to the Fire Station, Tuesday night was the PTA meeting at school and awards for the Read A Thon ( he was one of the top readers in his class), and Wednesday the 1st Grade had their 1st annual Sock Hop for the 50th Day of School. The kids had a blast!!! My child who at home (or anywhere else for that matter) would NEVER dance in front of ANYONE was doing what we may could call "dancing"! I was dying laughing!! I wish I had a video, it was hilarious....and cute, of course. Anyway, I need to go catch up on my soaps and DWTS so her are a few pics.

Ya'll have a good Friday!

We went to the Pumpkin Patch today, and as usual the kids loved it!! Weston immediatly found the "bumpy pumpkins and those were his favorite. Gracie calls all pumpkins "punkin patch", and she didn't want me to take her picture until she found her "baby punkin patch". She loved all the little bitty ones. I love fall, but I do hate to be cold! I love to see my kids get excited, even about those little things that do seem like much to us! They are so much fun!! I can't believe this time next year we will have a 6 month old baby!! AAAHHH! I have to admit, I am mostly very stressed about having another baby and going through all the baby stuff again, but I am getting SO excited! We will find out in mid November if it's a boy or girl, I can't wait!!

Anyway, enough rambling.....Happy Fall Ya'll!!!

favorite picture friday

I forget most fridays to do this, but I found these old pictures on the computer today and thought I would post them. It's crazy to see how much my kiddos change and grow WAY too fast. This is late summer 2008 ( I think)at my brothers house. They love to "ride" the tractor!

Lovin' the short week

I am soooo glad it is Friday!! We had Fall Break Monday and Tuesday and I did not want Weston to go back to school!! Am I crazy? I love it when we are home....all of us!! We have a busy weekend coming. Mom and Dad are moving tomorrow, and tomorrow night we are gong to El Mezcal (YUM!!) for Mom's birthday which was actually a few weeks ago. And Sunday we might be going to a Pumpkin Patch with some friends, if the weather cooperates.

Not much to say today, but here are a few pictures from the last week or so! When Hale watches football on Saturday, Weston feels the need to wear his Razorback hat...so cute! And my Sweet Gracie cannot smilke normal for a picture to save her life! Silly girl!

quick update

Just got back from the doctor, everything looks good with the baby!! Weston and Gracie were with me so they got to hear the heartbeat! My due date is actually April 9th (not 14th) and all the bloodwork came back NEGATIVE!! Yay!! It is pouring down rain here today, and I am glad I kept Weston home from school today (yes...for no reason except for Fall Break is Mon and Tues) because looks like we are about to have a big storm. It is not fun waiting in the car rider line in the rain!
Anyway, I have lots of cleaning and laundry to do! Have a great Friday ya'll!
