Sucking it's thumb.



Love that you can see the bones.


Facing down.

No Mommy, I'm not ready to show you yet!

So this weekend was pretty fun....

It started on Friday when I left work. I got to talk to a friend that I haven't seen or talked to in a few years. It's always awesome to catch up like that! Jillian and Justin cooked a yummy beef tip and noodle pasta dinner then we watched a movie with them! I also got another phone call from someone that I hadn't talked to in too long. I was very happy to get that phone call and hope there are many more in the future between the two of us!

Cody worked Saturday so Jillian and I went to IHOP with Cody's mom, Barb. It was soooo yummy! When Cody got home we went to Wal-Mart. That was the first time we'd been there in a while! Crazy people up in Wal-Mart, let me tell ya! We had a quick little dinner at home just the two of us and caught up on some things on the DVR. Then, as has become habit for me, he played his video game so I could go to sleep. I fall asleep so quickly when he's playing! He doesn't ask me if he can play, I make him so I can sleep!!!

Sunday we woke up fairly early and I finished the laundry that I'd started Saturday. We played WII for a couple hours. It's so fun to be a big kid and hang out with Cody like that. We laughed so hard! He changed the oil in my car and got cleaned up. I decided that I didn't want to be in the house, I didn't care what we did!! So we went "window shopping" for houses. It was nice to kind of look around at the possibilities the future may hold. Came home, started a movie...THEN my mom and Randy came over to have dinner and hang out. We did some burgers on the grill. We ended up inviting Justin and Jillian over because we had some extra food. We all sat around and talked while we ate. After dinner we played some Super Mario Bro. WII. OMG! That was a blast! My mom played and she surprised me at how fast she picked it up!
The rest of us took turns playing. I laughed so hard! It was awesome to spend time with them like that! I hope we can do it again soon!

It was such a relaxing, fun weekend full of family and laughter! I want EVERY weekend to be like that!!

Time "March"-es On

So it is the lovely month of March. Not much going on 'round these here parts.

We went out to Wylie the other night to see some old friends. Brian, Jess, and Madison are all doing great it would appear. Madison is getting so big!!! She is precious and has a beautiful smile. I think we've only seen them once or twice since we moved so it was really great to catch up. Levi and Jessica just welcomed their first baby last week so we got to meet her! We haven't seen them at all since we moved. It's horrible and I think we must get together with them more often!! Their daughter is Wylie and she is such a perfect newborn! And oh so tiny!!! She likes me better than Cody, I think! She crinkled her nose at first when he held her! I am pretty sure Madison likes him better though. She was very still with him.

Being around these beautiful babies has me excited and scared!!! I have NO clue what to do with a baby! I am so relieved that my mom is here and she can help me! I also have family and friends that have had babies recently so they're fresh on things and I know won't mind my constant questions. It's good I have a few people to talk to. I wouldn't want to focus all my questions on one person. That would be exhausting for them!!!

I have a doctor appointment today! I'm going to see if he can tell what the baby is. If he can and he's sure he's right, I'll have him print the pictorial proof, write it on a piece of paper, and securely seal it in an envelope. then sometime tonight Cody and I will look at it together! He can't come with me to my appointment and I don't want to find out what we're having without him! If we do find out today there will be some mass texting and Facebooking going on tonight! I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I am about 2 weeks earlier than when they like to try to figure out the sex. I have heard, though, of people finding out at 16 weeks so it's worth a shot!

I guess that's about it for now! I'll let you know how it goes!!!
