His name is ... Ezra Ray. We are so excited to have and name another little boy! When I found out I was pregnant and sat and dreamed about this little life, the only name that ever crossed my mind was Ezra. I tried to come up with girl names just in case, but this little name always ran…
I am now in my 18th week and feeling great! It's hard to believe that I'm almost half way there. And if he comes early like Weebie did, then I AM half way there! Wowza! Let me fill you in on what's been going on. * At our appointment a couple of weeks ago (at 17 weeks), we…
My cravings with Levi started very early. I wanted lettuce wraps and Cool Ranch Doritos like nobody's business. With this little love, all I want is spaghetti at all hours of the day. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, I want some SPAGHETTI. (Stole this picture from The Pioneer Woman , an…
I am a couple weeks into my second trimester and I am slowly but surely getting my energy back. I thought this day would never come! I had forgotten just HOW tired growing a little person makes a girl, but boy howdy, it was a rough couple of months and I am thrilled to welcome back some…
Yesterday I finally got to meet another love of my life! It was absolutely amazing. I will never tire of seeing the Lord's creation within a mother's womb - so, so beautiful. I am a day short of being 9 weeks, so I had an internal ultrasound done. As soon as that precious littl…
Hello, little one. It's me, your Mommy! You are almost two months old in my tummy, and you are reminding me of your presence all the time. I have been much more nauseas with you than I was with your brother, and I think it's just your sweet little way of saying, "Hey Mommy…
Two nights before my birthday, I told Husby to pull over so I could run in and get a pregnancy test. I honestly didn't think I was pregnant, but I just wanted to rule it out. I didn't "feel" pregnant and I honestly had zero hopes of seeing a line when I used the test. …
That is what my day was. Oh gracious sakes, it was a doozy! Last night as Husby and I laid on the couch eating supper, I said, "Hey, you better throw some things in my hospital bag...ya know, just in case." He said, "Do you plan on taking it with you to your appointment to…
I hope you all had a fantastical and relaxical Memorial Day weekend. :) I, for one, had a great one. I ate entirely too many calories and laughed until my abs hurt. And that is really saying something because my abs are hidden pretty deep these days. With that combination of food and …
So. If I suddenly disappear from the bloggy world, check my Twitter sidebar and see if I've gone into labor. I went to the doctor yesterday and my blood pressure was all over the place. They took it 3 times and it was very high the first two times and then normal the last time. They…
I was looking at some old pictures of my pregnancy on my computer and I realized it's amazing how many memories a picture can hold. For example - here is one my Mom snapped on her iPhone at one of my early doctor appointments. I realize this isn't the most flattering of pictures,…
Welcome to Levi's sweet nursery! (*Warning - tons of pictures below. You asked for 'em, I'm givin' em!*) This is the crib - the focal point of the room! Here is what you see when you are walking through the door: This room seriously makes me so happy! See this chair? It i…
So. My rope. I think I am approaching the end of it. Swollen feet the size of small blimps? Check. Waking up every hour to tinkle? Check. Complete discomfort in any chair I'm in? Check. Constant irritability? Check. Trouble breathing? Check. Stomach the size of a watermelon? Ch…
Over the past few weeks, several people have sent me messages or comments via Facebook or Blogger with the subject title: "Unsolicited Advice". They then proceed to tell me things they wish they would have been told, things they wish they would have known and information about …
Some may say that next Mother's Day is my first. I disagree. I couldn't be anymore of a Momma than I am right now! See? I'm bursting at the seams and in THREE SHORT WEEKS I will meet my little boy. I am 100% Momma. Husby was super sweet this Mother's Day and surprised…
I've got the best co-workers in all the land. Seriously, not only are they great to work with, but they are super sweet. And who doesn't love sweet people? They threw me a "Baby Luncheon" yesterday at work, and I was just so grateful for their thoughtfulness. It was j…
