Baby #2: 25 Weeks!!

How far along? 25 weeks - crazy to think it is 15 weeks or less until we meet sweet babe #2
Total weight gain: 10 pounds...and after the holiday binge I have been on this past month, I'm actually surprised!
Maternity clothes? Some, mostly regular clothes still
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: More insomnia or waking up early these days for no reason other than a racing mind of all that needs done that day/week
Best moment this week: Celebrating Christmas with all of our families, and having 3.5 days off of work to spend with LA.
Miss anything? Nothing to really complain about! Have been letting myself enjoy 1 Diet Pepsi a week recently. :S
Baby is the size of a: Cauliflower
Movement: More and more, and getting stronger all the time! Starting to feel kicks on both sides of my belly at the same time.
Food cravings: Waffles maybe? Or just food in general?
Anything making you queasy or sick: Mexican food does not sound too good.
Gender: Only 15 weeks at most until we all find out. It has been SO fun not knowing this time, and not even the ultrasound techs know.
Name: Girl is a go, boy is undecided...still. Daddy thinks he should get to completely pick the name for this little one. I think he should get to pick from the list I give him :)
Labor Signs: N/A
Symptoms: Tailbone pain has been SO much better these past couple weeks. I can actually walk again without pain. So very thankful for that. Heartburn is still occasional but becoming more frequent. Also forgot to note before that my lovely linea nigra returned right at about 20 weeks and is only getting darker. Still just below my belly button for now. Also starting to feel baby up in my ribs already.
Things People Say: Nothing much this past week
Belly Button in or out? It is officially an OUTTIE. "It popped out a little soon, don't ya think?" - Daddy. Gotta love him!
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. Content. Soaking up every minute.
Looking forward to: Getting the dreaded OGTT over with in a week or so. I'm just positive I have gestational diabetes after this past month.

Love and Prayers in Week 26, Babe!!

Christmas #3



Santa made a stop at our house this year, and brought LA a very cute, fur chair. I think it is safe to say she loved it!

Big girl loving her new chair from Santa :)

Daddy and his girl with his stocking, watch, and golf
supplies from Santa.
 

 After we had our own little family Christmas on Christmas morning, we went out to Reed and Alyssa's to celebrate with them and Grandpa and Grandma. We had a great day eating and just lounging around while the kids slept and played.

 

I think she was excited about her doll and clothes set.

Levi loved his t-ball set
that we got him, and was a really good shot!

And loved laying and riding in the boxes
as much as the presents themselves.

LA opening her drum set from the Rediger's.

She loves it!!

Love this sweet face.

After a great, but long day for the babe, we came home
and she yet again enjoyed lasagna and peas.

And that wraps up the celebrations for Christmas 2013. We love doing life with you, Landry!

Christmas Eve

We weren't able to celebrate Christmas Eve with Daddy's extended family due to my allergies and indoor pets, so we were on our own for Christmas Eve. We went to church and then made a quick stop at Target for some last minute food supplies for the next day and then came home to lasagna in the oven. You soiled your tights during church, so you weren't wearing them for the photos but I wanted to get a couple with each of us before we stripped you down to eat. There are duplicates of these, but they were too cute of you not to post. So I just picked 2 favorites with each of us. We had a great evening together with just our little family of 3. I wish I could bottle these nights up together and keep them.

 

Just loving lasagna and making a huge mess.

I just love this face!

And couldn't forget a picture with
sweet Babe #2. Looking forward to next
Christmas with both of our littles!

Christmas #2

After opening presents at our house on Sunday, we left for Aurora to have Christmas #2. With how big and spread out that family is getting, it is always great to be able to get together at least once a year. And there seem to be new babies to meet every year! We had a delicious steak dinner with all of the usual sides and then opened presents and hung out the rest of the afternoon. Unfortunately the day was cut short because Little Missy was tired and needed a good nap on the way home.

Riley did her best to entertain you.

Meeting cousin Caedmon...pretty cute!

No smiles for the camera :(

Opening presents with Daddy.

And we resorted to sipping my water again, a sure
way to keep you entertained.

Kilah and Grandpa hanging out on the couch.

Landry and all of the boy Great-Grandkids.

It's not great, but this is the best one we could get of all of us.

Dietrich and Weston in their matching outfits.

Just chillin' with Uncle Bob.

Loving your loves from Aunt Lori.

Christmas #1 - 2013

Grandpa and Grandma Deaver, Roo and Kilah came down the weekend before Christmas. We shopped, went to church, had prime rib dinner, and decorated lots of cookies and then opened our presents Sunday morning. It is always great to get together with them - just really does my heart good. Couldn't be more thankful for the family that we have, and the memories that we make celebrating special occasions together.

Table all set and ready to enjoy our prime rib dinner.

Peanut and her Grandpa before bath time.

I love these 2 more than life itself.

Aunt Kilah sorting through the gifts.

Peanut opening her 1st gift.

 

This dog is hilarious, you just weren't too sure
what to think about that thing!

Mommy thought this was too cute, and so did you!

It's going to take us awhile to get used to walking with this.
