More David Videos

So he's missing an e-i, but who's counting?

Too bad he doesn't really have a choice in the matter. Sorry kid, one day you'll really appreicate having a sibling. Also, I'd really like to know who taught him the phrase "no way". Not cool.

Questions Answered

Thanks for all of your well wishes. We've known for a month now, but we wanted to tell our family first, which we did on family picture day. (A special thanks to Caron for the picture she took that I used in the last post.) I actually hadn't planned on announcing this so soon here, as I wanted to wait for my first ultrasound to make sure everything was going well. The group that delivered David didn't perform the first ultrasound until 10-12 weeks. We've moved since David was born so I needed to change doctors. My first appointment was today and to my surprise they did an ultrasound. Apparently this group performs three ultrasounds, and I'm pretty happy about that! My due date is June 30th, but due to complications from David's delivery, and the surgery I had to have as a result, I will have a scheduled c-section during week 39. So far this pregnancy has been very different from the first. Although I was tired last time, it is very much magnified by the fact that I am also taking care of a two year old this time. Also, I am very nauseated almost all day long. I did not experience this at all with David, and I am really hoping that it goes away after the first trimester. We will find out the sex, as long as the baby cooperates with us!

David's Big Announcement

Thankful

I've been tagged by Katie once again! Since Chris said it so eloquently I'm gonna go ahead and quote her on the rules ..."I'm supposed to blog 7 things I'm Thankful for this season. I'm guessing from the few I've read we're supposed to give 7 random things other than the obvious traditional ones. So you all know how thankful I am for my {handsome son}, my loving husband and our supportive family...so here is the fun stuff..." (Thanks for that Chris!)

1. I'm thankful for our new mattress. It rocks. I don't toss and turn like I used to and I don't wake up with a sore back either. Getting a good night's sleep is priceless.

2. I'm thankful for my awesome hairdresser Desi. I trust her completely. She has never once given me a bad cut or color and I've been going to her for 7 years now. We have such a good relationship that she has even opened her salon just for me on a Saturday she was supposed to be closed. Also, she will often stay late or rearrange her whole schedule just to get me in. I consider her a very good friend.

3. I'm thankful for sweet tea. My drink of choice, although lately I've been ordering a lot of 1/2 sweet 1/2 unsweet to cut back on the sugar. I'm thankful my mom taught me how she made it for me growing up (and still tries to have some on hand when we come visit). I'm thankful my mother-in-law showed me how to make a glass of sweet tea when you happen to go somewhere that doesn't serve it (oh the insanity). Ask for a cup of hot tea and a glass of ice. Put your sugar in it while its hot. Once its done steeping pour it into the ice. Pure Genius. I often use this method at home just to make a single glass for myself.

4. I'm thankful for any and all swiffer products. They make cleaning so much easier.

5. I'm thankful I live where I live. Stores may be a few more miles away than it is for most people, but it takes me the same amount of time to get there as traffic here might be just one more car on the road.

6. I'm thankful that for now I still have 20/20 vision.

7. I'm thankful the invention of the microwave. I don't know how I would survive without it.

Weekend Update

We had another busy and very tiring weekend. Saturday Jason and I went to the Georgia vs. Auburn game, and I have to say it has been my favorite game to date, which is saying a lot since it tops all the games we viewed from the student section! In one week the bulldog nation came together and decided to have a "blackout", and all Georgia fans wore black to the game. There were rumors the players were going to wear black jerseys. They showed up at the dawg walk and pre-game warm-up wearing red, but we still had hope when Uga and Hairy dawg were wearing black. The crowd erupted when the players ran out wearing their new first time ever worn/used black jerseys! The fans were into every play of the game and you could see it really kept the players hyped up. We hardly sat down and with good reason as the dawgs whopped the war-eagles, er, the tigers (which is it Auburn?) with a score of 45 to 20-a game we were only favored to win by one point! I was going to post pictures, but I'll just link to some since the ones I took look absolutely crummy next to my girl Caron's amazing work. Sunday was picture day and Caron drove out to us which really made it easier for the kids. Here are just a few of my favorites...

Thanks Caron-you're "simply the best, better than all the rest". Soooo sorry about Dora!

David meets Spike

Its been slow blogging here lately. Like Becky, I keep leaving my camera at home. Here are a few pictures I managed to take on my cell phone last Friday. We took David to his first UGA basketball game. It was an exhibition game so it was free.

David was overwhelmed at first, and he had this stunned look on his face for a long time as he took it all in.
He lit up when the cheerleaders did their routine during a time-out. David said "Do it again!".
The seat kept folding in on him, as he was barely able to keep it down!

The highlight of the night was when Jason took David to see Spike who came up in the stands to give David a high five. I just love living so close to Athens.
