7 More Weeks!

Today we are 32 weeks pregnant and our baby boy weighs almost 4 pounds.  With just 7 weeks to go, Jeff thought a "belly shot" would be fun.  I can count the number of  pregnancy photos I took with Ava on one hand and I can't say I've been any better about it this time around.  But now both kids have one for their baby books and that's good enough for me!

This pregnancy has had only a few differences from my first.  While Jeff disagrees, I know I was much less sick this time than with Ava.  I was sick for only a few weeks in the beginning and I can remember being sick into my third trimester the first time!  I've learned what heartburn is for the first time ever and I've had cravings for red meat that are incredibly out of character for me.  Burgers and chili have been a couple of favorites.  I guess this little guy likes his protein and peanut butter wasn't cutting it for him!

Our sweet boy is scheduled to make his arrival on March 14th.  We have had a lot of fun working to make his room ready.  There are still a few things to do but we are pretty much ready for him.


Thank you to Nana for making the valance the colors that we needed and thanks to Grammy for the adorable wall hangings!
 This dresser was mine when I was a little girl and I repainted it for Ava a couple of years ago.  I painted the trim in green so all I had to do was change the pink knobs out for blue ones and it was good to go!


 Keegan's Great Aunt Kathy gave us these shelves for Christmas and Jeff painted the wooden train & car for the two larger shelves.  I love them because they are hand painted and match the theme perfectly!

Ready for Christmas 2011!  I know it's a bit early but it was on sale after Christmas and I loved the train!
Yes, our 2 and half year old still fits in a bumbo!  She loves to play in Keegan's room when we are working in there.  She tells me all the time that she's going to hold him and feed him and change his "poo-poo diapers."  Sounds like she's got it covered....guess I won't have much to do :)

Snow Day


I know that our family in St. Louis and Illinios will find this post quite funny, but when snow comes to Texas we are very entertained!  It makes for a fun day of play outside :) We had several inches fall in just a few hours, so we had plenty to work with.  Ava was excited to wear her new snow boots that Pop & Grammy gave her for Christmas.  Once she learned how to walk in her four layers of clothes, she couldn't get enough!


Ava gave our snowman a carrot for a nose.


Not a bad looking snowman!




Jeff showed Ava how to make a snow angel. His turned out really well!
