One Year Later

So Fox turned 1. Such a fun day with friends and family. Thanks mom and sas for helping me through it together.

Soon after Amy moved down to Houston. Fox loved having 2 grandma's to spoil him. It was great for him getting to know and love grandma Amy.

The Bump

So it has been such a journey. From fatigue and dizziness, to nausea, to I'm pregnant???, to extreme fatigue and abdominal cramps, to we are having a boy!, to sudden kicks to the bladder, to seeing the belly shake at the punch of a fist, to knocking things over with my belly and bumping people with it, to swelling, to the un-complements people give so freely: "you are huge!" , "you already look due" (I'm only 25 weeks), to Braxton-Hicks, to guessing what the baby is doing inside, to fighting for space to breath or eat, to Bryce talking to my belly like i can't hear what he is saying, to my first heartburn :( , to loving something so surreal, to dreaming of meeting our baby, to trusting my body, to zen mama yoga, to my first stretch mark (from being pregnant of course), to practicing labor techniques (feeling silly), to blogging about all of it.

We cannot believe it! we have a baby boy and it is on its way and coming very soon. Tara is 24 weeks along and she is doing so well with the pregnancy. So these are some pictures of the baby's profile, foot, and fingers note that he has all ten... i was thinking of showing the evidence of our son being a son, but i thought it would be kind of too revealing for the younger audience.

3's company

So we've recently had an addition to our family. A puppy. It started out as charity relief for my mother who was trying to get rid of 11 puppies her lab had. But we think he is here to stay. Rupert. Ru for short. He is really fun and cute. We also thought he wold help get s in shape. You know, take the dog running for exercise. But that has kind of back fired so far being that he can't be on public ground until he's 4 months old. So we stay inside even more now to play with him. I can only run around the kitchen so many times before knocking over the kitchen table.

This picture is so funny. We were watching t.v. and Ru wondered off. I heard some shuffling but didn't pay it any attention. 30 minutes later i found him asleep in our trunk organizer. He had crawled up in it and snuggled with the tennis rackets

Then there's the sleepless nights and chewing wars. (Just preparing ourselves for future events)We have had a few casualties. I've sprayed the bitter sprays on everything . But i guess he acquired a taste for it. I think it just attracted him to every place he shouldn't chew.

It's fun watching Bryce play with him. Ha ha... He will be a fun dad for sure. This was Ru's 1st ball we got him.
