testing out the new camera

Well, we spent the weekend at my mom and dad's house (a.k.a. Grandma O. & Papa's house) and Evan doesn't get to see them nearly enough, so a good time was had by all! So, here are some pics of Evan and of course, Big Jack Cat, the best cat in the WHOLE world!!! Oh, and Adam took some great shots of a hungry hummingbird on their deck! Thanks Mom & Dad, love you!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to my momma!!!!!

Though she will spend her day at work, working WAY TOO HARD, I hope she has a wonderful day!!!



Happy Birthday to you
You live in a zoo
You look like a monkey
And you smell like one too!

My momma has been the best ever, through ups and downs of all kinds, she is always the rock of our family. I only hope to be able to show my kids the unconditional love and support and be the source of strength that my mom always, always has been.

She is everything a mother should be.


I love you!!! Happy Day!

Mini Update

No pictures or anything, just a little update.....

Went to the doc. on Monday and they moved my due date up five days (based on U/S measurements), so I will be 12 weeks on Friday! Yee-haw!!!

On the Evan front, my big, big boy slept in his big boy bed for the first time last night...I realize that at almost 3 (in October) this is kind of a late transition, but the kid never once tried to get out of his crib...We decided that when I got pregnant again, we would just switch so he would have time to get used to the idea. Well, Adam gave Evan a bath last night and when he does, they are usually really quick....but, they were up there forever and giggling and I didn't know what was going on, but when I went up, Adam had rearranged Evan's room and set up the big boy bed, all cozy and perfect (have I mentioned what a good daddy he is?)...I put Evan to bed later and did our normal routine and he just nuzzled down in and went to sleep and slept all night! My big boy! So proud....I'm sure he'll discover that he can get out of this new bed any time now and I'll have heart attacks in the middle of the night when the little man walks into my room, but for now, I'm a proud mommy...It doesn't take much to excite me these days.... :)

Out for now, ya'll!

Anniversary Trip Weekend


Okay, so our 3 year Anniversary was in April, but we decided to take a belated trip b/c Dave Matthews Band was going to be in Indiana in July...so Adam got online and got us great seats to see the show! Not only this, but Ingrid Michaelson was opening for DMB! I love Ingrid Michaelson....if you don't know who she is, you can hear a lot of her stuff on the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack.
Oh my goodness, though! She was AMAZING live, and of course so was DMB!

We took Friday off work and drove down to Noblesville, IN....we set up camp at a poophole campground...(they must have a very good web technician or something).....Riverbend Campgroud....don't go there....the bathrooms are hideous...the owners don't care what's going on...it was yucky...anyway, we set up, went to dinner and a movie and came back to find our picnic table stolen...ok....no big deal....so we went to bed.....the bathroom was a good 5 minute walk away and smelled like the monkey part of the zoo, so i peed outside the tent several times that night, not caring at all who saw....lol..sorry, too much??? Oh well, oh so true!


Saturday, we got up and decided no matter how hard it was gonna be to find one, we were gonna stay in a hotel Saturday night! Adam called and called and called and finally found us a spot! It proved to be rather difficult as it was DMB and NASCAR weekend and we were just north of Indianapolis! So, we packed up our tent, went to breakfast and shopped around a bit....Then, the morning (or afternoon) sickness kicked in...I thought I was going to die....I apologize to the kind people in the bathroom at Bed, Bath & Beyond.....I couldn't help it....really!
Anyway, I was feeling awful....Adam took such good care of me, an managed to get us an early check in at the Super 8 so I could rest before the concert....So, I took a much needed nap and geared up for a fun night!!!!

We headed to the concert and Ingrid opened the show.....then, we got to meet her and get a autograph after.....It was so exciting! Then, Dave started and it was so cool! We've both wanted to see him for so long, it was surreal! We had really good seats, but I have determined that I am getting old.....

Everyone stood up the whole time....and they should...it's Dave Matthews....but my old, pregnant butt couldn't take it and had to sit down for about a half hour....then I recooped and was ready to boogie again. HOWEVER, I also think I might have a little A.D.D.....there were so many people moving in and out to get drinks, and more drinks, and running around and dancing, I found it hard not to watch them....One guy was hitting on every girl within eye shot....another was trying to ummmm, "get busy" with his date through the whole concert and they were all in my line of vision as I tried to focus on the concert....I just wanted to tell them all to shut up and sit down! Pathetic, I know! It's a concert! BUT, I am old and apparently....a fuddy-duddy....and need DMB to play me a private concert in my yard....All in all, it was still completely amazing!

On the way home Sunday, we stopped at the recently reviewed (on the Food Network) Joe's Gizzard City and ate gizzards and deep fried things.....ummmm, stomach ache and gaseous emissions were to follow.... :) You're welcome....

ANYWAY, that is the haps, peeps!

Aside from the concert fun, it was so fantastic to have some time to reconnect (without a kiddo) with my fabulous husband! We had such a good time together and I love him so much! It was hard to come back to reality! I love you, Adam! Thank you for a wonderful trip!!

I'm kinda sassy sometimes . . .

So, I just called Adam and asked him if he had a back-up concert buddy for this weekend b/c the doctor just called with my U/S results and I couldn't go......

Then, being the horrible liar, I am, busted out laughing at his panicked reaction, BECAUSE

EVERYTHING IS GREAT WITH BABY #2!!!

I DID actually get a call and I do have two small subchorionic hematomas that are actually very small. They have been causing the spotting, and it's probably b/c they may have been larger and are now healing. Because they are so small and because the little one is doing great, they are not a concern. Should I bleed more or anything worsens, then I go back, but in my book.....

ALL IS WELL WITH LITTLE NUBBY!!!

I'm thinking of calling him/her "Nubby" for the time being b/c he/she did wave a little nub at us last night.....let me know what you think....Oh, and for those of you who don't know....Evan was "Bosephus" for his first twenty weeks in my belly... :) Oh, the little nub is measuring about 5 days ahead, probably because if I don't eat every 5 minutes I feel sick, the little thing is well-nourished. SO, the due date is somewhere between Feb 20- 25, 2009.

Here is a link about the "subchorionic hematomas", if you are interested....not that it's really a must-read, but ya know....
