Saying "CHEEEESE"

Sprinkling away....her favorite part!

Today we went to my parents for an early Easter and birthday celebration. We were supposed to have a big Easter get together with my extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins and their kids), but my cousin is really sick with gall stones and having surgery in the morning so we decided to postpone it. However, we still let the kids do an early celebration. They colored and decorated Easter eggs, decorated Easter cookies and had an Easter egg hunt. They had a BLAST!! Savannah got so excited when she would find an Easter egg to put in her basket. She was even more excited when she found out that some were filled with candy. She really liked coloring the Easter eggs. And of course, though, ALL of her eggs had to be blue. Blue is her favorite color right now. She picks blue EVERYTHING!! She also enjoyed decorating the cookies. She did a great job. Her favorite part were the sprinkles. She would shake and shake it and then pick one little sprinkle up and eat it and say "Yum!"
We also celebrated my dad and brother Ray's birthdays today. This is another thing Savannah loves to do....singing Happy Birthday and blowing out candles....we play this all the time at home. We had a wonderful and fun day!! Happy belated birthday Dad and Ray!! We love you!
P.S. Notice Savannah's little ponytail on top of her head in most of the pictures. She wanted to be like her cousin Emmy! Too cute!

Lately...

Sorry I have not blogged or put any pictures up lately. This pregnancy has hit me hard with tiredness. I can barely keep my eyes open long enough to get Savannah down for a nap and then I collapse as well. I am very ready to get my energy back! I have good days and ok days when it comes to the nausea part. All depends on the day or the hour. It just comes and goes. However, earlier this week I had a couple of days where I felt horrible all day. Savannah and I didn't even get out of our PJ's those days. As for the sickness in our house...we are finally healthy again...Savannah had a nasty cold that lasted for over 1 1/2 weeks. Therefore, we have not had any playdates for weeks now. I am very ready to get back to doing some things outside this house! I recently painted Savannah's toe nails. They look so cute! She has been asking to have "petty toes like mama" since I started wearing sandals. So I finally gave in and painted them. She sat so still and has shown everyone her pretty toes. She is so proud!! I tried to get a picture of them but she wouldn't sit still long enough for me to get a good one. We are headed to my parents on Sunday so I will make sure to snap a few pictures of Savannah playing with her cousins...I think we may color/decorate Easter eggs as well. I will post them Sunday night or Monday...depending on how tired I am when we get home.

Peanut # 2...

We went to the Dr. today for our 2nd appointment. Everything looks great. We were able to get an ultrasound done. They did it in 3D which was amazing! It is so incredible how this little bean inside of me already looks so much like a little baby! We were able to see and hear the heartbeat and see him/her moving around. It was very exciting! Here are a few pictures of our newest little bean!

Quick Update!

Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged last. I promise to get some recent pictures up soon. Just thought I would give you a quick update. Savannah is finally healthy again! YAY!!! Savannah and I spent this weekend at my parents visiting out of town friends. Hubby enjoyed being free to do as he chooses while we were gone. It was great to see our friends though! We had a wonderful time. However, I woke up Sunday morning sick. Yuck! Not sure if it is allergies, cold, sinus infection...what? But I feel really yucky! Aches, headache, congestion, and cough. We came back home Sunday morning and I spent all day in bed while my wonderful hubby took care of both Savannah and I. I plan on going to the Dr. tomorrow morning. I will post more pictures later on in the week once I am feeling better! In baby news, things are going very well. I have had some morning sickness and tiredness, but nothing unbearable! I am already growing out of my clothes! We go back to the Dr. next Monday and should have our first ultrasound then also. I am very excited! Check back later in the week for new photos.

My New Love!

I am in love with my new Sassy Web Video Monitor. I wish we had always had this! We bought it off ebay new for half the price that it was selling at Babies R Us! I love it so much we may actually get a second when the baby comes. We had planned on just keeping this in the baby room, but I am thinking I may want one in Savannah's new big girl room also! It is so nice to be able to check on them without having to go into their room and risk waking them up!! I love it!!!

Poor Sick Baby!

This has been a long week! Savannah woke up on Tuesday morning with a 102 temp. I couldn't get her to eat or drink anything. She was very cranky and by early afternoon starting throwing up. She threw up 3 times in a 4 hour time period. She ended up taking a 4 hour nap that day and had diarrhea once. Wednesday she did not throw up at all, but still had a temp. and wouldn't eat. She mainly just cried and slept. She was awake for a total of 5 hours on Wednesday. By Thursday morning, we were still dealing with the same thing and had developed a dry cough. I took her to the Dr. Her throat was red so they did a strep test which came out negative. They told me she should be better by the weekend. Why they didn't do a flu test is beyond me. I almost asked for them to, and now wish I would have. Anyway, Friday came around and same thing. She was pathetic and cried all the time and still had not eaten hardly anything since Monday afternoon. Friday night she did not have a temp anymore, which we were thrilled about, and thought we were on the mend. Little did we know...Saturday morning she woke up and threw up ALL over her bed, her outfit, her feet...it was EVERYWHERE!! She continued to cry hysterically forever!! She wouldn't eat anything still, kept coughing and was very lethargic. I called the Dr. again and they said to bring her in. We went in and they told us that it was to late to do a flu test, I guess it has to be done between days 2-3 of symptoms and she was on day 5, but that she would guess that is what she has! The flu!!! She got her flu shot this year! She told us if we didn't see some improvement by Monday or if the vomiting got worse or if her temp. comes back to bring her back in! I pray that she gets better VERY soon and that neither her daddy nor I end up with the flu also. We all got our flu shots this year...but guess it didn't help much!

The Secret is Out!!!

Yes it is true. Savannah is going to be a big sister! We are very excited. I am 7 weeks pregnant. I will be having a c-section this time so the baby is due to arrive sometime late October. It is hard to imagine life with two children. I think it will be wonderful though! Morning sickness and tiredness has just started to kick in. It just seems like yesterday that I was pregnant with Savannah! My how time flies. She is now 21 months old. I went to the dr. for the first time on March 3rd. Things looked great. I go back on March 30th for my next dr. appt. and our first ultrasound. I can't wait!

BTW...if you read my previous post about everyone around us sick...unfortunately we weren't able to escape it. Savannah woke up yesterday morning with a 101.5 temp. and throwing up! Yuck! Now if I can just keep from getting it!
