A visit with "Baby Bean"Posted on Jan. 19, 2010 at 2:03 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkI had my "big" ultrasound this morning, and everything went well! It is so nice to have such an uneventful pregnancy. I have basically been having no symptoms (other than a round belly and lots of kicking!) lately. We got to see lots of baby, of course, and every single thing was perfect. The u/s tech was so nice - she just kept saying how "beautiful" every little thing was. His head is so low down, and he was pretty chill in there - not moving a ton. What a difference from Grady who was bouncing around in there for all 3 ultrasounds! This guy has been just relaxing or sleeping in all 3. Maybe he will be a more mellow kid ;) So because of the way he was positioned and because he wasn't moving a lot, she couldn't see all of the parts of the brain that she needed to check. So they made me go drink a Coke and come back in to the u/s room, in hopes that would get the little guy moving. Well he did turn, they saw what they needed, and I got some better face shots. Big Bro Grady came along and was so very excited. He was yelling "Baby! Baby!" and jumping up and down. Grady's name for the baby is "Baby Bean", so that is basically how we have been referring to him as well. I am buying the nursery furniture this week and the bedding has been ordered and is on its way! Now if we could just figure out a name... Some pictures of the Bean...
Bouncy Fun and a Sudsy TubPosted on Jan. 14, 2010 at 3:40 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkI haven't been taking too many pictures in the past couple weeks since I was burnt out on the camera after Christmas. But last weekend I did get a couple cute ones of G playing at Monkey Joes and enjoying the birthday party we went to. He also took his tub in our huge bathtub and SO enjoyed that! He played in the toddler area with the inflatable animals for like an hour!  Crowding onto the throne where the birthday girl sat (and she isn't even in the picture!)  Tubby time in the big tub! The jets make the bubbles crazy!   If You Take a Grady to the Movies...Posted on Jan. 13, 2010 at 6:25 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - Link... he will love it! I brought Grady to his very first movie in a theater today! We saw "The Princess and the Frog", and he did great! He sat and watched the whole thing SO intently and has been talking about it ever since. I also liked it way more than I thought I would. He woke up from his nap just in time, so I sped over to the theater and we got in there just as previews were starting. It was definitely a good thing to do on a day when both of us are a little sick with colds. And now I know that I can always bring him to a movie on a rainy day! Granted, there aren't too many movies he would like, but I am excited that it is a possibility!
Christmas 2009 - Part 2Posted on Jan. 5, 2010 at 1:53 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkResuming my holiday recap with Christmas Eve...
Christmas 2009 - Part 1Posted on Dec. 31, 2009 at 1:39 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkNana and Papa arrived the Sunday before Christmas with more gifts than I think I have ever seen in my life! We tried to open everything from everyone that would not be with us on Christmas morning ahead of time, so we could do the gifts from Nana/Papa, Gaga/Grandpa, Mama/Dada, and Santa on Christmas morning. Anyway, here is Grady opening some things from "Grammy Nancy" (who has also been known to go crazy at Christmas).This was a Melissa and Doug wooden castle with a king, queen, knights, horses, and furniture. Like a dollhouse for boys - so cute!    She also got him several books (a few with the music and stuff), a puzzle, a stuffed mouse (the one from "I you Give a Mouse a Cookie"), PJs, some clothes, a few movies, and a whole stocking filled with small things. She also got the new baby an outfit (all white - so cute). It was officially the first thing for the new baby, so that was fun. The next day Eric worked but the rest of us went to the zoo. It was a pretty nice day, but it was still chilly in the morning. But we had fun!  As usual - feeding the goats...  with Nana - watching the flamingos  the leopard put on a show for us that day - totally acting like a house cat, rolling around and playing  with Papa  with the elephants  That evening Papa and Grady made homemade pasta (with the pasta machine Papa brought) to go with the incredible homemade sauce Papa brought    On Tuesday Nana and I took G to the Children's Museum while Eric and Papa were at home working on the playhouse (there will be a grand unveiling of that coming soon). It now has walls and a roof. It's mostly just all the finishing (shingles, siding, beadboard inside) that needs to be done. Hopefully it will be done in a couple weeks! We bumped into 3 little girls from Grady's class at school at the museum. It was so cute because they were running over to him saying "Grady! Grady!" and he ran over to me to excitedly tell me "THREE of my friends from school are here!"  In the wind tunnel   playing the piano  He was so good with this crane - actually lifting things, and moving them to different spots  Recycling!  The farm - it's just for toddlers and Grady never wanted to leave!  Water play with some of his lady friends    And with Nana  On Wednesday (the morning before Christmas Eve) we decided we better open some more things so that Christmas Eve and Christmas wouldn't be TOO hectic. So we started with the stockings from my Nana (she does them for all 3 of us). little wind-up bulldozer  truck stickers  blueberry treats  helping Dada with his  They both got Altoids because Grady loves them. But Grady's were mini, which I had never seen  gift from Uncle Mark  Lincoln Logs!    Christmas Eve recap next! |
