Snow, believe it or not and Lily's room

Grady had so much fun playing with daddy in the snow! He was running all around the front yard.



He loves sinking in the snow. The poor guy got so upset though when it was time to come inside.






I also finished Lily's room this weekend and wanted to share a few pictures of it. I'm in love with her room, it's so gorgeous to me. I'll have pics from her shower soon!!




My dad made Lily's wall letters :)


My dad and sister made Lily's growth chart!

Grady's 2!

Grady had a "ball" on his 2nd birthday. We just had my parents and sister's family over, but with Grady and Ross running around it sounded like we had over 20 people! :)
I made baseball cupcakes, hey I never said I was crafty people. My sister would've done a lot better job. The good news is that he didn't decide to chunk one at my head!! Though that would've made for a great picture.



He actually loved it!! The cupcake was devoured in 5 minutes :)







He got a ton of stuff for his birthday...which I told my parents and sister not to do! He played on his new slide the whole day. He was pooped come 8pm, so was mommy, which is why we decided not to have a big party this year!





I watched the video from his first birthday, man I can't believe how much he's changed in just one year. He was just walking but hadn't said but 1 or 2 words...now his talking up a storm, climbing on our furniture and stairs and hitting/kicking balls.

It kinda made me sad to think this is his last birthday by himself. Don't know why...maybe just hormones. Next year we'll have to do something big for his 3rd! Maybe a bounce house or a petting zoo. :)

49 days and counting

I had my monthly check today and got great news.
My doctor said my blood pressure was 120/78 GREAT, no protein in my urine GREAT, no swelling at all GREAT!! No signs of preclampsia so far :)
Lily's heartrate was 145 and measured at exactly 32 weeks. We went ahead and scheduled the c-section for Monday, March 8th, 2010 at 9am! WOOHOO
I have my next sonogram scheduled from Feb 8th and my strep-B test, then I'll start going once a week until March 8th!!!!
We plan for this to be our last baby, so I had to sign paperwork to get the factory closed down.


Lily's nursery is starting to come together!


Her walls are pink...






...bedding is set up (haven't taken that photo yet)....




...and decal is on the wall.



I have to get a few more items to put on her bookshelf and finish painting her wall letters but other than that we're all done!
The shower is less than a few weeks away and I'm getting so excited! Then it's Grady's 2nd birthday, Ross' 4th birthday and then baby day.

New friends...

Old stretchmarks, I'll like to introduce you to new stretchmarks. I have a feeling ya'll will be hanging out a lot! :)

Baby update...2 posts in 1 week!!!

Jason and I went to our 2nd high-risk ultrasound yesterday. He/she is 1.7 pounds and her/his heartrate was 152 at 25 weeks.
We were 80% sure last appointment that we were having a girl due to the lack of evidence it was a boy. So I was so excited to finally find out the gender at this appointment. Well the little booger decided not to show us the goods yet again!!
My next appointment is in 6 weeks...I'll be 31 week when I finally find out the sex!

This baby is testing my patience already :) hehe

Rowdy boys!

Halloween!!

We had a ton of fun this Halloween! We went to a few pumpkin patches and then out trick-or-treating on Saturday :)


Grady didn't throw a fit about wearing his costume...which I was soo thankful for. But he didn't like going up to each house! He's start crying everytime. So after 4 or 5 houses we called it quits. (Which is a big improvement from last year - our total was 2!!)


My adorable lil' caterpillar :)
