surprise.. surprise.

brandon & i were surprised in january to find out we are expecting our second baby in late september. 

i went for my first appt this morning & the baby measured at 8 wks, 4 days (per my LMP, i am 8 wks, 1 day along).. and the baby has a strong heartbeat at 175 bpm.  and everything looked great & perfect!  my due date is somewhere around september 25-28.  

brandon took the news a lot better than i did when we found out.  last time, it was the other way around.  heehee!  i'm happy about the baby, don't get me wrong... but i had always envisioned having a little more time with fox before a second baby came along, but God knows what he's doing, right?!.. plus, fox is still not weaned & it kinda put that pressure on trying to wean him as soon as possible (he's 18.5 months old).  and he's definitely not ready to give it up!  

i have been pretty sick with this pregnancy so far.  i don't have much nausea, but i vomit a lot.. almost every day.  it just comes whenever it wants.  i only remember throwing up once with fox.  i'm not really sleepy, but then again, i've been taking naps almost daily.  so maybe i'm just well rested.  ha!  i've lost my appetite for a lot of the foods i've once loved (i pray they come back to me).. and it's so hard for me to drink water, right now.  with fox, i could easily drink over 120 oz. of water a day.. and now, i'm really lucky if i can drink 20 oz.  so i've been trying really hard to stay hydrated.

but anyways, yay for another blessing!  i'm excited to finally share the news with everyone!

wee bit late

i couldn't get to a computer on wednesday.  we spent tuesday & wednesday at home due to snow day.  and i hung out with brandon & fox.  it was quite nice to be home with them & not really do much of anything.  so this is a wee bit late..
 {one} what was your favorite sitcom growing up?hmmm.. i liked watching T.G.I.F.. step by step & family matters or the cosby show.. saved by the bell.. i liked them all.
{two} what song always makes you happy when you hear it?just the way you are by bruno mars
{three} do you still have your wisdom teeth?i still have 3 of them. got one taken out & one has come out but doesn't bother me..& the other two are still hiding.
{four} what is your go to way to relax?hmm.. wearing pj's & reading a book
{five} do you play any instruments?i used to play the clarinet from 6-12th grade.
{six} nude beaches: yes or no?no. no. no.
{seven} do you chew your pens/pencils?nope.  i have this phobia or something like that where i don't like things touching my teeth.i don't like to eat any kind of food that's on a stick because i get freaked out about touchingthe stick.  i dunno.  i'm just really careful when it comes to my teeth.  i've never had braces & my teeth are pretty straight.. so i think that's why.  just wanna keep it that way, i guess.  {eight} can you change the oil in your car?nope.. i pay someone to do it.
{nine} can you curl your tongue?yes, i can
{ten} can you knit or crochet?no.. but i can french braid my hair.  ha!  ;-) 

 yoooooooour turn!!

latest fox pictures

i love taking pictures of my little boy.  i don't take nearly as much on my actual camera, but on my handy dandy iphone 4.  i love the camera on the new iphones... they are so much better.  but if the room is dark, it looks really grainy.  so yea.

thought, i'd share some pictures that are on my phone from this past week or 2.

 our little carpenter, riding his 4 wheeler in the house

 fox broke out in a viral rash last week.

 this is his class/school pic.  heehee!

 my sweet baby letting me give him sugars!  i like his little lips!

 i love the self portrait thing on the new iphones.. & fox was having fun taking pics of himself!

 i love him

 it was such a beautiful day on saturday, we took fox to the park & let him slide by himself!

 he's such a big boy!

daddy buried him

 afterwards, we got ice cream cones.. in which he stole daddy's.

one of the main reasons i use my iphone for pictures is i can easily send the pictures to my brother who's in afghanistan.  i love sending him just weekly pictures of all the fun things fox has done or whatever.

i love the picture of him & the ice cream cone.  heehee!

my favorite hobby

i like to shop.  in store.  or online.  mainly online.

i also like to read...whenever i have time or can afford books.  ha!  i mainly like to read christian fiction books; i.e, amish books.


i also like try little crafts whenever i have a chance or time.. or money for supplies.  i want to be more crafty.  i'm actually co-leading a small group this semester at church called creative corner & we'll be meeting twice a month to highlight a craft & if you want to make that craft you can.. or you can bring your own project & just hang out with the women while everyone gets their craft on.


i made this wreath:

i have a few more projects in mind to work on this year... mainly for fox's 2nd birthday party.

A Talent of Mine

okay.. so i guess i didn't do so well with the 30 days of me.  boo hiss.  well, i won't call it 3o days of me.. but i'll just use the topics for me to talk/post about until i finish it.   how does that sound?


wow.  do i really need to ask myself what a talent of mine is?.. because this is a great way to make me feel worthless.. heehee!!  because i don't think i'm that talented.  i like to think that i am the bomb.com in certain areas.  but may just be an average joe. 


i like to dance.  love salsa dancing.  goofy-dancing-around-the-table-to-get-fox-to-eat-his-dinner-dancing.  dancing on rooftops in new york.  swing dancing with brandon.  and then laughing at brandon's dancing.  we dance to yo gabba gabba a lot.  katy perry.  lady gaga.  whoever.  

i love it.  


so that's really it.  blah.
