Happy Belated Easter Weekend!

So I'm a few days behind posting Easter weekend pics but such is life. We had a super busy, but fun, weekend! On Friday we went to the Zoo for Eggs, Claws and Paws with Auntie Mimi, Joe and Lizzie. We got our pics taken with the Easter bunny, rode the carousel and went to the petting zoo. Saturday began with our neighborhood Easter egg hunt where Wynn had a ball!! She ate SO much candy it was ridiculous. Sunday we ventured up to Auntie Mimi and Uncle Redsie's house and had an Easter egg hunt with Joe and Lizzie and then had Easter dinner. It was a wonderful weekend filled with family and fun! Enjoy!

Fun with Lizzie and Joe at the zoo!


I LOVE these goats!

25 Week Belly Pics and a Fu Man Chu

So, by popular demand here are my 25 week belly pics with mb2. I feel like I've gained a million pounds. :(




Check out Wynn's fu man chu from her ice cream treat the other night! It looked absolutely hilarious!



And here's just one of my happy gorgeous girl. I love her so much!

25 Weeks Already!??

How did this happen already? I will be 25 weeks tomorrow and this pregnancy has just FLOWN by! I guess just being with Wynn most of the time and working full time makes my days go quick. Overall I'm feeling good. I have a tiny bit of heartburn some days and a little cramping but other than that I feel good! I think I've gained about 15 lbs. so far which I'm not loving but it is what it is. I eat healthy and obviously have to count out my portions, carbs, etc. because of taking insulin so it's not like I'm able to pig out on anything. We're working on the nursery and I will post pics when that's done. I really need to get to posting a new belly pic too. All I keep hearing is how tiny I still am and how I'm all belly (although I don't think my bootie would agree) so I'm hoping to stay that way. :) Babe weighed 1.7 lbs. at last Friday's u/s which they said was right on for my due date! I can't believe I only have 13 weeks to go until my C section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D.isney on Ice!

Sam and I took Wynn to D.isney on Ice last Friday and had a FANTASTIC time!! Seriously if anyone is considering going and taking your little one I say do it!! Not only did she have a ball but we did too. Watching her little face light up with happiness was so fun! She didn't take a nap that day and the show wasn't until 7 pm so we were a little concerned that she would be difficult but she was fantastic. We got home about 10 pm and she stayed awake the entire day! Must been the excitement of the night that kept her up :)

Snow Days!

We got over 10 inches of snow yesterday and today so we've been having so much fun with Wynners playing in the snow! She tried to catch snowflakes on her tongue and kept eating snow saying "I wuuvvvvvv snow". It was so stinking cute! We didn't have a sled so we rigged up a ghetto sled out of a laundry basket and rope. She still loved it. :)

Tiny Dancer

Not sure if everyone who reads the blog knows but Wynners takes a dance class once a week for an hour. It's a predance class where they learn tap, ballet and tumbling. We just got the pic of what her class' costume will be for the June recital and it's super cute! Here's what our tiny dancer will be wearing!

Excuse this House

Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there,
Ours boasts it quite openly,
The signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges are on the doors.
I should apologize, I guess,
For toys strewn on the floor.

But I sat down with my children
And we played and laughed and read.
And if the doorbell doesn't shine,
Their eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I'm forced to choose
The one job or the other,
I'd like to cook and clean and scrub,
But first I'll be a mother.

I saw this on another blog that I read and I absolutely loved it! This rings SO true in my house. I love being a mama but I don't love to clean. :)

Care to take a guess???

Some of my best girlfriends have done a really fun game called ExpectNet when they've been pregnant. I thought it would be really fun, since we're not finding out the gender of this babe, to do a game too. Care to take a guess???

Updates :)

Just a few quick updates and pics. I'm now 14 weeks 3 days and feeling great. Most days I totally forget I'm pregnant! I guess that's what happens when you're chasing after a toddler. Here's my 14 week belly pic:
Wynn has been working on potty training and went over 60 minutes the other day without peeing in her big girl panties. Then she decided to poop and pee in them. :) Here's our big girl with her big girl panties and new glasses on.




And here's a picture of my gorgeous girl that I just love. Those sweet baby blues get me every time. :)

Jumping on the band wagon!

Ha! Everyone thinks she looks just like her daddy so this is no neat to see it thinks she looks more like me. :)

NT Scan Results

Looks like so far our little one is doing great. I just got the results from the NT scan back:

Nuchal Fold Measurement: 1.5"
Chance of Downs Syndrome: 1 in 8,361
Chance of Trisomy 13 or 18: 1 in >10,000

Yay for healthy babes!

Little Wiggleworm!

We had our NT scan today at 13 weeks and it went great. We still have to wait for the blood test results but we're thinking positive. :) Check out the cool 3D pic of our little wiggleworm that they got today!!

Coming Out....

No, not like that! We are so excited to announce that Wynnie is going to be a big sister at the end of June. :) Here's our little gummy bear!

Now I Know My ABCs....

When in the world did this sweet little girl get to be SO big???!!

Trick or Treat at MImi's House!

Tonight I took Wynnie up to go trick or treating with Joe and Lizzie at Mimi's and Redsie's house. Despite not taking any nap today she was great and had so much fun! I made her Cookie Monster costume and I have to say she was the talk of the 'hood. :) Enjoy!

Dumpkin Picking!

Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch (or dumpkin patch) as Wynn calls it and had so much fun! We went with our friend Jane and her son, Jimmy, and the kids had such a ball. It was gorgeous out but a tiny bit chilly still. The kids played in the haybale barn, went down the slide in the haybales, tried out the tractor, petting zoo and went on a hayride to pick our own pumpkins. Daddy helped Wynn pick the perfect Dumpkin just for her!

Wynnie turn the wheel, turn the wheel Wynnie!

Oh and here's the cutest video of her singing her favorite song (and mine!), You Are My Sunshine. You're going to LOVE the ending! lol!

Three whole hours!!!

Wynn went over three whole hours tonight with no diaper on and NOT ONE accident!! I let her do this the other night, right before taking a bath, and she peed on the floor. She has talked about it ever since and randomly says "pee, floor" and "daddy clean up" because Sam cleaned it up. :) So tonight when I took off her diaper to let her run around, bootie in the wind, I explained to her that she was not to pee on the floor and that if she had to pee she needed to tell mommy. She sat on the potty no less than 10 times but in three hours that's not bad! She didn't pee everytime but the fact is that she's getting it and knows the sensation of having to pee and can catch herself, even when she's playing, to stop and tell mommy and pee in the potty!

All sorts of stuff!

First things first, I wasn't able to post pics of Wynnie's cupcake party because our computer cord died last week. She had a great time and LOVED the balloons and after all of the kids, except her buddy Carson, had left they did a balloon dance. Check it out! We got her an Ariel dress up costume for her birthday, which she loved; unfortunately it ripped within five minuetes of putting it on so we had to take it back. At least we got a picture in it!









Our next big news this week is that Wynnie started at her new "school" today! She looked so stinking cute (and big!) in her new school outfit and backpack. When I dropped her off she just waved to me and said "bye mommy". I have to admit while it felt good to have her feel safe and secure I would have loved just a tiny bit of her not wanting me to leave. :) She's going to learn and do so much and that is so exciting to me! She was excited to make new friends too. I hope it goes well!




And lastly I just love this picture of my gorgeous girl :)

2 year appt.

Wynn's two year appt. went great! Her vocabulary is still exceptional and her potty training is coming along well for her age. Here are her stats:

Height: 33.25" - 50% percentile (they said based on this she should be about 5'6" when she's an adult)

Weight: 25 lbs. - 15% percentile (they having us add powdered milk to most of her foods to get her calorie intake up. She's just so darned pick and loves fruit and healthy stuff that getting calories and fat into her is hard!)

Head: 30% percentile

So, overall she's doing great! She had roseola this week so she didn't get her vacs today but will go back in two weeks for her MMR and flu mist.

Happy 2nd Birthday my Sweet Girl!!

My dear sweet Wynn,
Happy 2nd birthday my love! Mommy and daddy love you so much and are still so amazed everyday that God chose us to be your parents. We couldn't ask for a more loving, kind or special child. You are truly a gift and we will be forever grateful. You are silly and sweet, sensitive and funny. The perfect combination of your daddy and I! What a wonderful ride this last two years has been. This year you will do so many new and exciting things and we can't wait to be right there celebrating with you. We love you so much sweet Wynn!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Dropping the kids off at the pool.....

ONE day before her 2nd birthday Wynn pooped in the potty!!!!!!!!!! She has been peeing in the potty all weekend. Every 1/2 hour or so I will ask her if she has to potty and she says yes and then she pees every time. :) We were over at Uncle Wiggy's tonight and she said "Wynnie poop on potty". She says that everytime she has to pee though so I didn't really think she would poop this time. She went pee and then she actually went poop!! I can't believe my sweet, tiny baby is two years old tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, at 7:24 am, she took her first breath and her first cry. What a miracle she is. She is a true gift from God.
