20 Weeks--Patrick Grey's Updates

Yep, you read that right. No more beebee, we now know we are having another BOY!!!!

The ultrasound tech was fantastic, she explained everything she was measuring, what she say, etc. The tech we had when I was pregnant with Co didn't do this and it was so confusing to watch haha.

But Patrick is sitting with his head near my belly button and his feet are near his face but right next to my bladder. I'm already so in love with this little boy it's ridiculous. If you knew me before Co was born you would know that I would have freaked out at the thought of having 2 boys, I was way too girly growing up to be a boy mom. But now that I have Co, I'm excited at the thought of 2 little boys running around here. We want more than 2 children so we still have a chance at that little girl. But for now, I'll keep my Costco card up to date, buy in bulk, and find ways to feed hungry boys on a budget, haha.

Here are my updates this week. Oh, and I look like I have no eyebrows, but it was really sunny, and that's a lovely thing I've dealt with having such light eyebrows--light directly on my face and they disappear :)

Day-To-Day

1. Reading his favorite book while hanging out with our youth group. 

2. Participating in Tech Tots at the Microsoft Store. 

3. He sure doesn't look sick does he? He was playing in the waiting room at the doctor's office. 

4. Don't panic--he wasn't actually driving. He was pretending while Husband and Co waited for me to get to the car. I promise, we're safe parents. 

1. I love how Co watches TV. He's such a big kid. 

2. Taking some time out to read his Bible. 

3. He got on the computer and pretended to work like I do. Haha, cutie. 

4. I was trying to pass time while Husband picked out new undershirts. Co looked hilarious in this hat!!

1. He keeps his nerf gun in his nightstand. Too funny!

2. Sometimes the best place to nap is on Nana. 

3. This is his naughty smile. If he does something bad and we're lecturing him, he'll make this face. Stinker!

4. Hanging out in his car. 

Momma's Day

Well, that's what I call it around here since I have a two-year old. "Mother's Day" is a bit formal and way to hard for Co to say!


I do love these holidays. I know some people are anti-holidays and feel it's just a made-up holiday, but I don't see what's wrong with celebrating people on special days. Sure, we should honor our mothers and fathers all year long, but taking one day out of the year when everyone recognizes parents is just nice!

This year was fun because I was celebrating being a momma to Co and to celebrate becoming a momma to my new baby this year. I tell Co every year that he's the reason I get to be celebrated.

This year Husband and Co took me out to a surprise dinner to Cheesecake Factory and then Husband took me shoe shopping!! It's my addiction and I haven't bought a pair in such a LONG time. It was a wonderful evening.

Getting pictures with Co. And check out new shoes!! LOVE them!!

He was done taking pictures. Perfect Mother's Day, haha!!

Sunday we went to church and the Sunday School department hosted Muffins with Mom, so Co and I went over there and enjoyed a little breakfast together. It was sweet. And when he gave me my card that he made in class, I'm not going to lie, I teared up a little bit. I'm too emotional.

Then we went to my parent's house for lunch and to give my mom her gifts. We were going to go to the park but my poor sister had a miserable headache, so we took it easy and then that evening drove around EVERYWHERE trying to find a place that didn't have an hour long wait. Silly us, thinking that would be easy! We ended up at the Carinos in Gruene (or maybe it was New Braunfels, I'm not sure). There was no wait, and it was super awesome because they had the OLD Johnny Carinos menu!! I always loved it when it was a Johnny Carinos, but once it changed to their new menu and prices I haven't been the biggest fan. 

My mom is gorgeous. I love her. 

It was an awesome Momma's Day and I am grateful for my son and future baby. Being a mom is the best gift in the world, and getting new shoes because of it, well, that's just an awesome benefit. 

Happy belated Momma's Day to all you momma's reading my blog. I hope you got a little spoiled!

We're just giant nerds. 

What My Two-Year Old Is Eating-Breakfast

Here's another breakfast Co had recently. Lately he's been on an oatmeal kick, but every once in awhile I try to switch it up some!

-Scrambled Eggs (He LOVES eggs if I put a little cheese on top)
-Mandarin Oranges (Canned, but rinsed)
-Toast with applesauce on top

That Day We Went To Chuck-E-Cheese's

This post is pretty old. I meant to post it, but it got buried away and I forgot all about it.

Co's actual birthday fell on a Monday, and since it was a holiday most of us were off of work. We thought it would be fun to take Co to Chuck-E-Cheese's. Let me just say, going on a Monday was AWESOME. We basically had the place to ourselves (except for the lady who thought it was appropriate to take off her shoes and put her feet up in a public restaurant). Co didn't quite get the concept of earning tickets yet but he loved playing the games--especially basketball.

JerJer loved playing the games with Co

Mimi was teaching him the jump rope game. 

He had no idea what the tickets were for, but he loved pulling them out of the machines!

And of course Nana spoiled him a little bit and bought him a plate and cup combo. But that cup is now one of his favorites!!

19-Week BeeBee Updates

19 Weeks....Almost to the halfway point!

This week I had to go to the doctor for a Rhogam shot (you gotta love being RH negative) and she did a quick ultrasound on beebee. Everything looks great, but the heartbeat did this weird thing--it slowed down drastically (enough for me to notice too) and then picked up speed again. My doctor said it could either be a fluke, or something could actually be causing this. She did the ultrasound for a few minutes and it never happened again.

So, the first step for us is for me to cut out caffeine completely and see if that helps. Let me say, I drink a cup of coffee everyday, or a coke, and I always have a chocolate candy bar. So I'm on day three of NO caffeine and I'm withdrawal headaches and mood swings. It's awesome. After I have this baby, I want a HUGE Starbucks drink and a snickers bar.

We could do a level 2 ultrasound where we would find out if it just a weird beat or if we need to take further measures, but without maternity insurance it would cost us $1100. So, we're praying that the anatomy scan is enough to find anything major and we're praying that God heals that little heart if there is anything wrong.

And now, before my energy level completely crashes, I'll post my updates. If you're drinking coffee right now, please, have an extra cup for me :/
