pregnancy update!!!

Gosh, I just do not know where the time has gone!!! Feels like we just found out we were prego yesterday now I am almost 18 weeks along. I have to say I am enjoying sporting my baby bump these days...it makes the perfect little tray to set my snacks on....(as q is shaking his head reading this...lol)

I have been feeling really good lately...and there is NO mistaking my baby bump for a little extra pudge! ;) I just love the 2nd trimester....get to sport a cute (sized) baby bump, have energy (as much as you can have after chasing after a 2 year old...it is just the super fun stage of pregnancy!

I have been enjoying feeling the baby kicking...either a little gymnast or a kickboxer! Felt the first movement down in Texas on Sept 24th but it is now turning into kicking from the fluttering! Monday morning (Oct 24) Q was able to feel the baby kick for the first time! Love that surprised look/smile on his face...(just like with feeling Griffin for the first time)! The whole experience is so incredible....I LOVE IT!

So, the count down continues....5 more days until we find out if Griffin gets a little brother or sister!!! Can't believe we get to find out on Monday!!! I keep getting asked which we would like a boy or girl...I go so back and forth! Each one would be so fun for so many reasons... I would love to see the bond between Griffin and a little brother, I think they would be so cute together and be best buds...and can almost picture them in matching Christmas outfits (how cute right!!!), and I also think a little girl would be so fun....would love shopping for her and doing girly things....but I do know one thing...it will be one of the 2! ;) So, stay tuned on Monday for the big announcement!!!.....Then let the shopping, decorating and name hunting begin!!!

BIG 2 year old boy!

Griffin James,

Mommy and Daddy just don't know where the time has gone! We were just bringing you home from the hospital yesterday! You have grown into the most beautiful, sweet but sassy, smart, observant, strong willed, funny little boy! We absolutely cannot imagine our lives without you! You make us laugh each and every day, you make us so proud to be your parents! We love you bunches and bunches!

Ok, so I know I am totally biased, but is he not the most beautiful little boy you have ever seen! He is definitely my little angel...at least in this picture!!! Love this sweet boy!
A few of the things he has been up to!...


If you ask him how old he is, he will tell you 2 and also sing the happy birthday song! I love hearing that sweet little voice sing songs...these days he also loves "itsy bitsy spider" which goes something like "bitsy itsy bitsy isty, WHOOOSH is away" then clapping! And of course the abc song!

Thinks it is pretty funny to call me Amy, and then giggles!

Loves when mommy and daddy give hugs and kisses...and wants to join in!

He is hilarious! He loves to show off, dance around singing his favorite song, being silly...and jumping off of everything!


Loves his choo choos and loves any kind of vehicle! Hmmm wonder where he gets that from....he will also say "daddy fast" when riding in his car!


Dude is a strong willed boy...he know what he wants and when he wants it!

Our little punkin!

Well, I am finally going to try and get caught up...our laptop is on the fritz so even though my desktop is ridiculously slow...here we go

We took our pumpkin patch pictures a few weeks ago (just like last year), amazing how much changes in a year! Seriously...how cute is he!!! Check out the pic from last year when he was 1 year old!

Heart beats!

Today was such a fun day....and I am still soooo excited!! We got to hear baby Ellis's heartbeat again today!!! Love that sound...and the baby was dancing around in there, we could hear the baby moving around on the dopler. And Griffin came with us today...so he got to hear the baby too! ...oh yeah, and the nurse told us the heartbeat was at 160!! So fun!! And another exciting part of today is that we got to make our appt for our sonogram, and to find out if baby Ellis is a boy or girl....I mean, isn't that the only point of the sono anyways...ha!!!!! October 31st is the big day...so stay tuned!! I am going to try and post a few belly shots in the next couple of days too!
