Santa 2010

Kaylee & Santa 2010

This year was SO different... NO tears! She loved Santa and told him what she wanted for Christmas and then just kept talking and talking... he had to cut her off.

So excited waiting for Santa

Riding the train after.

This year Daddy came with us... it was really fun to have him there! I look forward to making this a yearly family tradition.

27 weeks

This is the final week of my 2nd trimester. We only have 13 weeks left and time seems to be going by so fast. I am still feeling really good but starting to get a little uncomfortable and tired. I have been trying to take it easy which is hard for me to do. Those of you who know me well know that I am a busy body :) At my last appointment I was 25 weeks and 5 days my Dr. decided to check me because I am having contractions and I am already dilated to almost 1 with a softened cervix. Which is not great news considering I am only 27 weeks. She did a test to check on the likelihood of preterm labor happening in the next 2 weeks and it came back negative which is good news. I have not been asked to stop working or exercising yet. I had contractions early with Kaylee as well but these are a little stronger and more frequent. At this point I am trying to listen to my body and lower my activity lever. I am still working but only 1 day a week. I have an appointment again on Thursday to see my high risk Dr so I am hoping that nothing has changed in the past couple of weeks. Little Parker needs to do A LOT more cooking before he joins our family.


Just for fun... Here I am 27 weeks with Kaylee

The Happiest Place on Earth

Kaylee and I met up with my brother Ryan and his family at Disneyland last night. We got to see the Christmas parade, Small World all decorated for Christmas, the fireworks show and snow. I absolutely LOVE Disneyland during Christmas time. It is so beautiful and definitely puts you in the holiday spirit.

I am so thankful I live close to my family. I am lucky to have amazing brothers that I really enjoy spending time with.
Thanks for a fun night Jess and Ryan xoxo

Happy Birthday Elle

We got to celebrate Elle Belle's birthday over the weekend. The Mermaid party was great and all the kids had so much fun!

Happy Birthday Elle!

100 Days

The belly with 100 days left...

I did this same post when I was pregnant with Kaylee so I thought it would be fun to compare my belly as well as my emotions.

In my post about Kaylee I talked about how the count down has started and that I was starting to get super excited and nervous about all the little details. I was starting to clean a lot and had nesting feeling.

Well things are VERY different this time. Maybe because I remember the last 100 days going by pretty fast. I am now thinking that I cannot wait to meet our little boy and am very excited for our family to become 4. But I have absolutely NOTHING done. Parker's room has become the room I put everything in that I am not sure where I want. So it is full of boxes and a bunch of crap. So I am really hoping that I will become motivated to unpack the rest of the house and get his room ready. I do have to say that I am enjoying this pregnancy much more than I did with Kaylee and I appreciate being able to be pregnant so much more. I have also gotten very excited about having a BOY.

25.5 weeks...

I wanted to be sure to take a picture of me in my work uniform. hahaha... I feel like I look so silly in it but it is something I want to remember.


And this is my belly with Kaylee when I had 100 days to go... I think I was a little bigger and was carrying a lot higher.

A night to remember...

Last night was our first real trip to the ER... and I say real because we have been once before but if was for an allergic reaction and we were able to go to an after hours Kaiser facility. This time we had to do to the actual emergency room.

Kaylee fell while trying to climb up one of our bar stools and hit her chin on the edge of the chair on the way down. She cried but not that bad and seemed fine very soon after but the cut on her chin was deep so I wanted to have it looked at. Sure enough our baby girl needed 4 stitches. She did really good and was more upset about them holding her down than the actual stitched. Today she is happy and seems totally fine. She just keeps telling me that we have to keep her band aide on...

so so sad....

All finished and ready to go home.

Kaylee sure is a tough little cookie!

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a busy weekend as always for Thanksgiving. I of course forgot my camera on Thanksgiving but on Friday and Saturday we went out to the river. It was cold but we still had a nice time as a family.

Kaylee LOVES the river and is always such a trooper when we go. Daddy is very happy about that.
