Girls trip and the Bathroom...

Last Thursday Mom, Taegan, and I headed out on a little girls trip to Oklahoma City. They were having a huge craft show and since we love craft shows we made our way down there. Taegan did great in the car for the four hours and actually did really well at the show as well. She loves playing in hotels and pushing the elevator buttons! The first night we got there we did some mall shopping and she built a new bear and got some Legos at the Lego store. Once back at the hotel she was ready to build with Grandma...

Here she is pushing some pieces together with a little help from Grandma.

We got back late afternoon on Saturday and Justin had been working away in the bathroom while we were gone. He got a ton done, but it still isn't close to being finished. I am trying to be patient, but it gets harder and harder somedays!!! Oh well-it will be done soon enough. I just can't wait to see the finished look. Here is a picture of Taegan helping Daddy on Sunday in the bathroom...she sure loves being wherever he is!

Check back tomorrow for a new belly pic!

10 weeks

This is not a good picture this week because I was doing it myself in the mirror. I didn't get up early enough this morning for Justin to take the picture.

How far along: 10 weeks

Size of the baby: The size of a kumquat

Total weight gain: 2 pounds

Maternity clothes: Nope still wearing all normal clothes!!!

Gender: Find out in December.

Movement: Well I would say no, but I swear I felt the baby move this morning

while laying in bed...but not sure if it is too early??

Sleep: I am sleeping about as good as Taegan is right now-she is having awful night terrors

and it up and down quite a bit. Also making at least one bathroom trip.

What I miss: Not much this week.

Cravings: Still any grape drink I can't get enough of!!!

Symptoms: The lower pain has gone away and the nausea seems to have lessened some

this week!!! I am still not back to normal, but I can at least get out of bed without

feeling sick. I am also eating earlier in the day which is probably why I gained a pound!

Best Moment this week: Having Taegan kiss the baby goodnight each night before bed!

Pumpkin Patch Visit

At the end of last week we decided to make a trip out to the pumpkin patch. It has been crazy around here this month and I wasn't sure when we would be able to go if we didn't squeeze it in when we had a chance. So we got Taegan up early from her nap and headed out just the three of us!!! It was perfect-we were the only ones at the patch. And the weather was so beautiful!!! I will let the pictures do the talking-Taegan had a ball.

She walked right up to the pumpkins and picked hers out first thing.
Then she decided to help Daddy.

Wanting to be a "big" girl and pull it by herself.

Teeter-tooter with Mommy.

One of my favs-look at their feet!

She got brave and decided to get in the bouncy house and jump-it was her

favorite thing she did out there!!!

Then Daddy decided to join her:)

At home with her pumpkin!!!!

We had such a great time as a family, I can't wait to carve them all together next week and take her trick or treating!!! Check back tomorrow for my weekly update about the baby!

9 weeks...

This week marks 9 weeks of this precious pregnancy and I will do weekly updates from here on on out.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 9 weeks

Size of baby: Baby R is the size of a grape

Total weight gain: 1 pound

Maternity Clothes: Nope-although I will welcome them when it is time!

Gender: Find out in December

Movement: Nothing yet.

Sleep: I am always tired and am sleeping well. The first 6 weeks I had a lot of pain while sleeping and did not sleep well, but that is gone now.

What I miss:Having a sense that something sounds good...I have NO appetite.

Cravings: Anything grape to drink- grape kool-aid and grape slushes are the fav right now.

Symptoms: Last week I was having a ton of lower pain and the doctor wanted to check it out this week with an ultrasound. We went yesterday and everything looks great. Heartbeat at 176 and the baby was active. They think some of my pain is from constipation-NOT FUN. I am also sick to my stomach all day long!!!

Best Moment this week: Seeing the little peanut yesterday and having Taegan kiss the baby.

Here is a shot of the baby from yesterday.

Have a good Thursday and Go K-State!!!

Some exciting stuff...

Miss Taegan has some news to share....

(I have a secret...)
YAY!!!!!

Yes, you read that right we are going to have another baby!!! All three of us are over the moon for this new addition to our family.

I did take 3 tests just to make sure because I am OCD like that:) We were 8 weeks yesterday and feel so lucky to have this chance to have another child. We can't wait to meet the new little one and watch Taegan love on it. She talks about the baby all the time now and knows that Mommy has to go to the hospital to have it. This is one of the reasons I have been a bit quiet on the blog because I didn't want to spill the beans before we had told our parents and immediate families. I have been super sick this first 8 weeks and really hope that once I get out of the first trimester I will feel better!!! It has been rough feeling sick and being so tired and trying to be a mom. WOW!! I do plan on taking weekly pictures and keeping you updated on this little one as the journey progresses. We ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers and to keep this little one healthy and safe.

We are SOOO excited to share this with you!
