Happy Anniversary to us!

This morning we FINALLY got to see the baby!  Everything looks great!

Our Little Secret 11/19/09

I am blogging about this, but won't publish it for another week or so. 

Over the past couple of weeks I've taken 8 pregnancy tests!  Yes, EIGHT!  The look on the guy's face at the Dollar Tree when I asked for 10 tests was priceless.  All 8 that I've taken have been positive, but remember our false positive back in September?  Anyway, we wanted to be 100% certain this time before sharing the news.  Yesterday, I went to the dr & got the confirmation needed!  I'M PREGNANT!  My first official OB appoint is in 2 weeks.  My due date estimate is July 22.  Our family already has 6 birthdays in July, so I think we will take bets on who's special day the baby will be born!

Morning sickness hit me hard today for the first time (I'm only 5 weeks).  When I was pregnant with Addison, I never really had much morning sickness.  Now this time around the last thing I need is to be sick while trying to care for a toddler!  I'm not sure if I can wait 2 weeks for my first appointment, so I may call the dr Monday to see about some meds to ease the nausea.

Addison would be an only child if I had been this sick when I was pregnant with her.  This morning sickness, all-day sickness, middle-of-the-night sickness HAS GOT TO GO!  I guess this is what I get for having such a wonderful pregnancy last time.  Come on 12 weeks!  That is when the sickness should subside. EWWWW  I called the dr yesterday & they suggested Emetrol for the nausea.  So, I got that along with Sea Bands & Sea Band Ginger Gum.  The gum is disgusting.  It made me want to throw up more!  I've also boiled ginger root & made tea, but it's all NASTY!

So, we were very excited for December 1 to arrive & go to the first OB appointment.  About an hour before the appt the nurse called to say the doctor was in surgery & my appt needed to be rescheduled. UGH!  Now we have to wait another week!

Monkeying Around

Addy & Santa

Thanksgiving & Tailgating

We had a great Thanksgiving in Baton Rouge at LSU with the family!  We went over on Thursday & came home Sunday.  Everyone went to the game Saturday except for me & Addy.  She may be ready for a game next season!

  

Memaw came by for a visit!  We took Addy to see Santa & it was a DISASTER!  I'll have to scan the pic for sharing!

                            

Child Labor

Every single day when Blake comes home from work, Addison grabs his hand & walks him to the bedroom to change clothes.  This is their routine & NOTHING stands in the way!  Blake now has Addison carrying his clothes to the laundry room!  She looks like she is on a mission & she means BUSINESS!

Addison's MDO class made these last week!  I'm not sure what was going on with her the day this picture was taken, but she obviously wasn't about to smile!

I took some pictures of Addy in her Christmas dress & now I want to use some of these for our photocards!  Problem is, I've already ordered & received 50 photocards to use as Christmas cards!  BOOOOOO!  I really like these pics better than the other one I choose.  Maybe I can justify ordering 50 more IF I can find a great deal like I did on the others.

Ramblings

Our weekend was supposed to be filled with visiting family & Parker's FIRST birthday party, but our plans changed suddenly.  Another story for another time...

Addy woke from her nap the other day, but decided that she needed more sleep!  This is only the 2nd time that she has fell asleep in a random spot!  The first was her highchair over the summer.

The Dora Play Hut has been money well-spent.  She enjoys it so much!  Buddy does also!  Last night he went to sleep in the hut!

I made deviled eggs for B's Thanksgiving work lunch.

I subbed Addy's MDO class for a few hours yesterday morning.  It was so much fun.  On Friday's, the children have Bible study.  Luckily, the nursery is very close to the chapel, so we didn't have to go very far when it was time.  The girls all lined up at the door & knew exactly where to go & what to do!  I was impressed.  For some reason I was nervous about handling all of them.  Bibly study was only about 15 minutes and they had the best time.  This is Addy's MDO class.  There are 5 girls & 1 boy (the boy was absent).

This is a sign at the Walmart back home!

My spelling isn't perfect, but I know how to use spellcheck if I'm doing something job-related!

Here are some pics from our fall photoshoot that was done in October:
