Baseball Baby!!!!

Even though Conan misses the age cutoff for baseball this fall they ARE GOING TO LET HIM PLAY!!!!!!

I am so excited...and so is the boy!

Chris has been working with him on catching throwing batting etc. He can throw over hand about halfway across our backyard, he can catch the ball with a glove most of the time and he can hit the ball to the fence. I am so proud of him. Chris and I are both very eager to watch him play and hope he enjoys the game. Baseball in the fall and then Chris is going to sign him up for wrestling in the Spring. I must say that Conan is thrilled about the wrestling. We watch a lot of UFC in our house so it only makes since that he would want to fight.

Here are a few pictures I forgot to post from our camping trip. Conan used the metal lid as a shield and we took foam swords....he was in little boy heaven.

The next pictures are Chris and Conan actually riding the tube! He was not too thrilled about it but got through it. He would much rather just swim.

10 weeks

After a week from hell, I am feeling fairly decent today (hence the picture that looks like I was dragged behind a truck). We had a Doctor's appointment last week and we even got to hear the heartbeat as well. Everything looks good and we go back in a month. I had a wonderful friend lend me a ton of maternity clothes and I am ever so grateful. I think I should be set!!!

Here's to hoping morning sickness is just about done with me.

way behind

Conan went bowling for the first time on Friday and he seemed to really enjoy it. We have been sick with the stomach flu at our house and therefore I am completely behind on EVERYTHING. I need a solid week of feeling good to catch up and get even.

Camping

A little on the warm side but a lot on the fun side! We had a good time camping this last weekend. C bought a boat and we were able to play in the water, tube and just relax. Chris is an awesome campfire chef let me tell you. He made pineapple upside down cake in a dutch oven. Breakfast burritos and C made chicken bacon potato pockets. We were well fed. Best thing-Chris did all the dishes. I think we would love to go again but with my belly getting bigger and the heat getting hotter a late fall trip is in the plans.

Conan fell asleep on the boat!

One pee stick and 3 min later....

...you find out your life is about to change yet again. IN A GOOD WAY.

We were surprised/thrilled to find out we are expecting another baby.

We told the kids and they are really excited. Conan calls it his baby. I am really excited however, I am fighting morning sickness with everything I have. It is much worse this time around. Chris and I went in for our first ultrasound this morning and got to see thumper in there and hear the heartbeat. Even though I have done this before I am surprised at how excited I got today. I am due January 18th 2009, and in order for Conan to comprehend how far away that was we told him the baby will get here after Christmas, to which he replied with the baby get any presents? I told him no because thumper won't be here till after. His response..."how sad." I am already much bigger in the tummy this time and my pants are tight. Yikes!

1st ultrasound 7 weeks 1 day!
We saw and heard her/his perfect little heart beat!
I think that is the best sound in the world.

Belly shot 6 weeks
