Here we go again!!!

We are pregnant again! I am 9 weeks and due December 27th! And, (drum roll) we are not finding out the sex this time until delivery! I figure if was ever going to be able to make it all the way without knowing, which I know many of you don't think I will make it, it would be once I had one of each. However, I am predicting another girl. I have been so sick too! I am really struggling this go round, I am so much sicker. I have small broken blood vessels on my face from vomiting so much. I had to get on prescription meds to help and I still get sick daily. Plus, I am really tired. But, all that is to be expected in my family and usually means a healthy start so I guess it's a good, while not fun, place to be. Here are the kids holding the sonogram picture we had taken back on the 11th.

Paige did a better job of showing the camera the picture.

Her looking at the picture was very cute so we got it on video.

I don't have a scanner so this will have to do for now. The black space in the center is the water sac. The ring at the top of the water sac is the yoke sac. And the baby is at the bottom of the water sac, all tucked away in the corner. There is an arrow pointing to it if you need help seeing it.

My next appointment is June 8th, we should hear the heart beat then. Jacob will be 3 and a half when the baby is born and Paige will turn two that month. We'll keep you posted!

Last week of school

We have had a fun week. Kris won on American Idol and we are so happy about that! Uncle Robert came into town Thursday night and we got to see him today.

The biggest highlight of the week is it was Jacob's last week of school. (Tear, sniffle) He really loved school and his teachers. I wish he could have the same teachers next year. Here he is with Ms. Margie and Ms. Kim. And Ms. Kathy. Ms. Melinda is another teacher but she doesn't teach on Fridays so we missed a photo with her. This was funny to us. Jacob took all the foam stickers off his decoration he made and was putting them on his face.
Grandma and Papaw drive in tomorrow so we look forward to a fun weekend with them.

So sleepy

Paige turned 17 months yesterday and hasn't been the same since. She is so fussy and tired both yesterday and today. She is cutting her back top teeth and I am hoping that's what all the fuss is about. The strange part to me is that she has her four top front but only two bottom front, and now these big ones in the back. Isn't she supposed to get the bottom four first??? Oh well.
Remember last month when we said we were pulling the pacey. Yeah...that didn't go so well for us. In fact, she has probably had her pacey more than ever since we posted that last month. Again, oh well. Some day, right?
17 months!! She is getting so big. The crazy part is that she is the age Jacob was when we had Paige. That is crazy. Paige was born one week after Jacob turned 17 months. Maybe because she is my baby she seems younger than him at that age, even though her development is ahead of his.
Okay, back to the "so sleepy" title. Apparently lunch was too boring today:

I finally stopped trying to wake her up and just let her sleep before music class. It was only 11:45 too.

Here she is this morning, fussing still. I hope those teeth push through soon. Poor girl.

Gymboree Music Class

We take a family music class at Gymboree and it's so much fun! I don't feel like these pictures do it justice, so take my word for it- it is great fun. Here are some pictures from today's class.

When you first arrive the shakers are out.

Jacob tries to take as many shakers as he can.

Doing so stuff with hoops:

Bubbles too of course:

And everyone's favorite- the big box of instruments.

And stamps called "Bombomps" all over for the ride home.

Paige is looking at her tummy to see her bombomps.

We look forward to it every week.

Thursday...

Sorry for the lame title, there isn't much going on over here though. Jacob is sick, missed school. He will get to go tomorrow though. I thought Paige was funny tonight. I gave her Bagel Bites and she made a mess. It's my fault for bathing her before dinner. She always gets food in her hair too.

We did get out long enough to get Jacob a much needed hair cut. Nice and short and ready for summer.

Mother's Day 2009

Today is Mother's day and sadly I didn't get any pictures of me with the kids. But, it was still a wonderful day. Travis let me sleep in until ten, then we relaxed, played, I took some great video's of daddy playing with Paige but it's too long to post, and we got a visit from Aunt GiGi and Andrew. She put it on her blog and it has great pictures and a cute and classic video of Paige. We also went to see my mom and visited before heading to a MD dinner. All the restaurants were too crowded so we settled on Taco C and it hit the spot. I got some great pics of the two special people who made this Mother's Day and everyday so wonderful!
Plus, Jacob is 34 months today. Two more months and he is 3!!! Here he is talking with his mouth full, but he is saying happy mother's day.

Taking a sip of our sprite....

and not liking the carbonation.

Jacob too.

Small Group Cookout

We had a cook-out at our house last night with our church small group. Here are Travis and Aaron at the grill.

Paige, Haley, Caleb, Jacob, Noah, and JuliaThe video of us trying to take their picture is my favorite. Sweet Julia makes me laugh every time in it.
