Just cuz she's cute....

"No mommy, no peet-oose (pictures). No peet-oose, no!"

And becuase we don't have enough, Emmy and daddy!

Numbers (en Espanol)!

The other night we called Mimi in TX and showed off Emalyn's proficiency in Spanish by counting one through ten. We've finally gotten it recorded...and boy, do I look pregnant! :)

Come to think of it, Miss Emmy is exactly 21 months tomorrow!

The quiet of a toddler...

It always freaks me out when Emalyn will disappear for a few moments and all is quiet....any mother obviously knows the quiet usually means TROUBLE. Luckily, I don't typically have trouble from my little girl. Instead, this....

this is what I usually find. God bless her, I pray the innocence never changes.

20 weeks was 2/8/10

Well, 2/8 was the day I was 20 weeks. The day we found out the baby is a boy.

But it took me until tonight to finally take the photos to show you my belly!

Hi there!

Kid you not, it literally popped out in one weekend. Friday it wasn't there, and Sunday it was.

Not joking.

So hello baby boy inside me....thanks for making somewhat of an appearance :).

Happy Valentine's...with a toddler

Sadly, Cameron and my biggest "gift" this Valentine's was the fact that Ms Emmy sat on her little potty with no diaper tonight.

Woot-woot! Who would have known!

Here's the news...

The above profile shot is my favorite....

Can you see that baseball cap the technician drew on the little guy?!? Funny.


And of course, there's the proof....BOY! We are very excited, but I have this weird feeling of, "well, I know exactly what to do with a girl. What do I do with a boy?" Silly isn't it. I am sure it will fade, it has already, but it's going to be so different! Here we go!

The Reveal.....tomorrow!

Our appointment is tomorrow-late afternoon....it's going to be fun! Well, except for the 5 MILLION ounces of water I will have to drink before going. Seriously, do they HAVE to push on your full and overflowing bladder with that ice cold equipment in order to get a good shot?!? Really!?

I think I have mentioned before that we are finding out the gender.

Cam will have it no other way...My comment to him was, well that means we may have to try for a third one (because I want at least one kid to be a surprise!). I bet he thinks I'm bluffing. Haha, maybe I am!

Just be sure not to ask me right after pushing this one out. Because with Emmy, ugh. WE don't need to bring that up again!

Well, here's to manana...!


Oh, and one last thing....let me know how you all like the new layout. I just love those photos up top of little miss. She's getting so big already though. She's 21 months, people...CRAZY!

Tubing, Emmy Style!

She never went down the hill, but I think she had a great time!

Identification

Me: Where's Pop-pop?

Me: Yeah, there he is! How about Mimi, where's Mimi?

Me: Smart girl! (*sigh* I just wish you could see them more often in person.)

Mangoes

There it is, the size of my kiddo growin' inside me. Next week supposedly it'll be a cantaloupe.

We find out the gender on Monday....20 week ultrasound.

Cam wants to know. I think I could have been surprised, that could have been fun. But nope. We are planners.

Onto other things.....I am kind of surprised I survived last week. I fell Monday outside Emalyn's daycare. Pretty hard on my left cheek/hip. Turns out everything is okay and I have had no troubles with the pregnancy (praise God).

That night, Emalyn didn't sleep. Turns out she was constipated. Cam got about 2 hours of sleep and I think I got 3 or so. It was really ugly. She finally filled a diaper Tuesday afternoon after we all arrived home from work and school (yay-success!).

Wednesday was (thankfully) uneventful. However, Thursday we got a virus on our computer and thought we lost all our photos (that I was supposed to be updating on our portable hard drive).

Luckily they were there. Cameron spent all Friday night saving them to CD's.

Then Saturday...now I'm really going to show you all how much I deserve the Mother of the year award....I gave expired milk to Emalyn. Believe me, it didn't smell, wasn't gross, NOTHING. I promise!

She puked all Saturday night/Sunday morning until 3 AM.

This week has started off MUCH better....even though it's snowing outside right now. The commute in was horrendous this morning....but I still made it into the office only 10 minutes late. (My optimism starts small :) lol)

I am so O V E R winter. Too bad I live in MN-there are three more months of winter to be had. Tough for me!

So, here's to another week....hopefully a better one! And now that I'm thinking about it, a mango sounds pretty good. I might just have to go get one for tonight-YUM!
