Here it is......

Okay.....so I finally feel ike I am showing so I am going to share a picture. Today I am 17w 3d and we go for our big ultrasound next Tuesday. I am very anxious to find out what it is. I am even my excited to finally select a name. Even though I don't think Garrett had a name until I was about 8 months pregnant. So anyway, here you go........it is kind of hard to tell today with the dress that I have one but I will have more in the future.

The Sweetest Boy in the World!!

This morning right before I dropped Little Marshall off at school I checked his folder to make sure he did all of his homework (not that it would really matter then, we were already in the car) and he told me there was a note in there for me. And I looked at him with a stern face like he did something wrong because the only time there was ever a note in his folder was because he had done something wrong. So I am looking for this note for me in his folder and I get to the letter pictured about and he said "See there it is." I almost started crying but I said "Oh, Marshall, I love you too." He said I wanted to tell you but I couldn't. I quickly told him he could tell me anyting at any time and not to be afraid. Then I pulled up in carpool and he happily jumped out, said I love you then closed the door. As I watched him run into his school my eyes started to fill up with tears. He really is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life!! I am so very lucky to be his mom!!

Of course I am going to keep this letter for the rest of my life but just in case it gets lost I have taken a picture so when he tells me at 17 that he thinks I am stupid and I am so mean that I can prove to him (and to myself) that he really did love me at one time :)

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend and make sure you tell your mom, dad, sister, brother, anyone how much you love them or how great they are. It really makes them feel wonderful!! I love y'all!!!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had such a wonderful time over the Thanksgiving Holidays. This year we spent it in Meridian with my family. It has been a while since we have been there to see everyone. I am glad Tellie came down to stay for a while too. It seems like it went by so quickly! My dad worked most of the time so we didn't get to see much of him. I wanted to share a couple of photos I took over the holidays. I hope you enjoy. Now it is on to Christmas!!!!Here is Marshall manning the fired turkey that was DELICIOUS!!!
Here are the boys with their Great-Grandmother Tellie. She insisted on going shopping on Black Friday so I went with her and I think she had a great time. I think she just wanted to prove that she could handle it at 83 years old!!My roasted sweet potatoes I made. I think everyone liked them. I like them a lot better than sweet potato casserole!!I think the boys are getting excited for Christmas. They got out their Polar Express Train Set and played with it for a couple hours until they were on to the next thing.And finally on to Christmas. My parents have not put up a Christmas tree in about 3 years so I made sure they put one up this year. This is the final result!! Happy Holidays everyone!!

December 15th

So in just 3 1/2 weeks we will find out what has been swimming around in my belly for the past 15 weeks. I am so excited but I think the boys are way more excited than I am!! They pray for a sister every night. I have tried to talk to them about how much fun a boy would be too so they are not disappointed if it is a boy. We shall see. All of my friends with girls better send me some girl ju-ju!!! Love y'all and hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Finally Getting Excited

So I am 14 weeks pregnant with our third, yes, third child and as of now I have had a hard time getting excited. Not hat I am not happy we are adding to our family but for some reason it just hasn't really hit me until this week. And I have gone crazy...I bought a stroller/car seat combo this weekend off of Craig's List. I am so proud of myself because I got a stroller, car seat and 2 bases for $175!! Here is a picture of what I bought.

The woman had two of them so it looks like it has never been used!!!

I was also given a crib and some bedding. The bedding is a light green toile. It is only the bumper pad and the bed skirt. It has a zipper so the cover will come off. I think I might remove the ties and add some chocolate brown ties and get some brown sheets for the crib. Here is a picture of the crib.

It didn't come with the matress but the crib and bedding were a gift from my friend that has quads. She has also given me lots of other things and if it is a girl....we are set. My friend has 5 girls!! Amanda has also given me tons of stuff she no longer uses for Fisher and I appreciate that so much!!

I just can't believe it has taken me so long to feel like this! I just really want to know what it is so then I can really get started on planning things. I would love to actually decorate a nursery. We did not have a nursery with either of the boys and I sort of miss that. Although we would probably put the crib in our room until the baby got big enough to sleep in its own room anyway. It can still have a fun corner in our room and a dresser/changing table in another room.

We should find out in about 5 weeks what we are having. I go back to the doctor this Friday for my regular check up and then I will have a date for the ultrasound. I will let you all know as soon as it is scheduled.

Take care for now!!

Busy Busy Busy,,,,,,

We have been so very BUSY!! We made it through October! I now am the proud mother of a 7 and 4 year old!! It is so hard for me to believe my babies are that old. We made it through their birhtday party, we made it through Halloween, and I have ofically made it through my 1st Trimester!!!!

This is not a very good picture of us but it is the only one I have. I am going to try to be better about taking photos and putting them on the blog but I have been so busy. Last week I got to take a trip with my company and I flew on a private jet to Grand Rapids, MI, and had dinner in a Frank Lloyd Wright house that has been beautifully restored and then we toured the Steelcase furniture facilities and then came home. It was a whirlwind trip but it was a lot of fun. Especially after being a single mom for the last two months. It felt like a little mini-vacation.

I am so looking forward to the holidays this year. I am not sure why I am so excited but I am. I have most of my shopping alredy done for the boys. Unless they come up with any last minute things they just have to have......which I am sure they will. But I am done for the most part!!

I can't wait to be in Ocean Springs this weekend for Peter Anderson Festival! I hope to see everyone there!!

To My Super G!!

I don't really blog too much about my Super G! For those of you who know him, he is just the silliest thing you have ever met. He so much wants to be like his big brother in every way. So I have decided to let Garrett play soccer this year, just like Marshall. He is just so much fun to watch. I am so very proud of what a wonderful little man he is turning into. It is hard for me to believe he will be in Pre-K next year.

He love to play with legos and look at books (he tries to read them). He loves to play games with his brother and his best buddy Price. He loves to ride his bike and make guns out of anything he can get is hands on. He loves to snuggle with his momma. He loves his cat Dixie. Most of all he will eat anything you put in front of him.I love you Super G! You make me so happy!!!
