Pete's Arrival

Look what was on our porch when we got home today!

Mar 3

My Aunt Sherry and Uncle John sent Paxton this enormous puppy as an early Easter present! Pax was so excited to see the giant box, and as you can see, to get the rather large puppy out of the box! This animal is really fun to lay on and is as big, if not bigger, than Pax! We named him Pete, the Puppy! We all have fun with him!

3 year photo shoot

Suzie, Sarah, and I took Paxton to the Zoo for his 3 year photo shoot.  We had a good time, and it was so precious to see the amazement in his eyes as he saw the animals! 

Shopping Endeavor

SJ was ready to crash

Steph and I loaded up all 3 kiddos and took them to the Avenue to do a little shopping. I moved Pax's car seat and he was in the back, and thought he was big stuff. After hitting one store (that was all we cared for), we went to Steak and Shake for a yummy dinner! It was fun to have time with Steph and to let our kids be together!

When we got home, I brought Pax's jammies in, and Micah said, "Why is Pax wearing my jammies?" Funny, as you can see from the picture, that they have matching jammies! They then got to "jam out" in their matching jammies! Hahaha! Funny, huh??!?!?!?

We had a great time! Thanks, Steph, for the pictures, and for driving us on our endeavor!

12 Weeks and Thankful!

1st belly picture taken. I can't believe it's been 12 weeks without pictures!!! This is so different than with Pax!

Our sweet baby!!

I am 12 weeks now. I can't believe that I am officially out of my first trimester!

I have not been as nauseous, and am able to eat again in the evenings. I'm not gagging as much, either!

I had a regular doctor's appointment with Dr. Pittman. They weighed me, and I am actually down 2 pounds, and my blood pressure looked good. Then, she pulled out the doppler to listen for the heartbeat, and kept moving it around, and moving it around, and moving it around. She looked up at me, and then back at my belly, without saying a word! She couldn't find the heartbeat!!!!!! Then, she says, "I'm going to see if I can get you a quick ultrasound." My heart dropped!!! I held it together, but didn't know what to say. Dr. Pittman came back and said that Mrs. Jean would see me in about 5 minutes, and she walked me down a really long hallway without saying a word. I sat in a little cubby hole trying to keep the tears back, and texted Brad. It seemed like a really long time, but I know it wasn't. I just didn't know what to think, or what to even pray!

Dr. Jean saw me very quickly and did an internal ultrasound. She DID indeed find the heartbeat, but not without some work and searching. I actually have a retroverted uterus and the baby is located around my colon and intenstines, and is back pretty far. She says that Dr. Pittman never would have found the heartbeat with the doppler because I wasn't far enough along. They think that I must have had the same thing with Paxton, but it fixed itself as the baby grew, and my uterus moved upright. I didn't have my first doppler with Pax until 13 weeks. The bottom line is that this baby is growing and moving! During the ultrasound, I saw it jump and flip! Soooo reassuring to see and hear the heartbeat!! We are soooo thankful!!!

T-Ball Pictures

Pax had t-ball pictures and I got to snap a few shots of my own. I thought the team picture was cute of all the boys!

Game Day

Pax is ready to go! All decked out for his first game!

There was a lot of this--playing in the dirt!

This adult to kid ration cracks me up!

Sweet picture of Dallas!

Pax was chanting, "Let's go Braves!"

I think Dallas needed a break!

1st at bat

Keep your bat up!

Aww! Nice try!

He made it to 2nd

These were taken by Suzie:-)

The Braves had their first game today! They don't keep score, but just play to have fun. And, fun it was! They didn't know which way to hit it, which way to run, where to go, or what to do, despite our weekly practices! It was quite entertaining, and took all hands on deck to help them out. I think they all had fun, and all the boys ended up dirty, so I think that's a good sign!

Pax had quite a few fans in attendance! He had his own little fan club that consisted of Grandma, Pops, Mimi, Papa, Summer, Suzie, Bonnie, and Alison. I think everyone was quite entertained by this game!:-)
