New pictures of Jordan

15 months

Well, at the ripe old age of 15 months, Jordan has FINALLY decided walking is the cool thing to do. He has been walking for a few months now, but didn't prefer it over crawling. We had been waiting for him to choose walking over crawling, and this was the week he figured it out. The past few days he's been walking all around the house all day long. It's fun to see. I knew he'd do it when he was ready and didn't feel the need to push it. So I thought I'd share the big news. I know I have been a huge slacker with my blog lately and it's only because with our new camera, we've been taking pictures in RAW instead of JPEG and I haven't figured out the process of converting to JPEG, uploading to photobucket, then uploading to my blog. Mike has showed me a few times now, but I guess I'll "seriously" pay attention the next time he shows me. I'm going to try and post some pictures of Jordan tonight, so stay tuned!

As for Baby #2, my due date of September 3rd is now up in the air until my 20 week ultrasound. I went in over 3 weeks ago for my 12 week appointment to hear the baby's heartbeat and they couldn't find it. They sent me for an ultrasound and the baby measured 3 weeks smaller, showing me at only 9 weeks. That didn't really make sense based on my last cycle and such, plus the same thing happened with Jordan and he was 2 weeks early. So, it's possible the baby is just measuring a little small and my due date will be more clear when I have my big ultrasound. I am feeling close to normal these days as far as nausea and fatigue go. However, whereas I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms while I was expecting with Jordan, I have just about every symptom under the sun with this baby. They really are all different! Anyhow, I'll keep you updated with the little munchkin inside of me:)

Enjoying the nice weekend!

Here's Jordan playing with his cousin Jack. It was nice to be outside a little this past weekend!

Excited to announce...

that Baby #2 is on the way!!! Mike and I found out we were pregnant a few weeks ago and told family and friends this week after my first doctor's appointment. I am almost 10 weeks along with an estimated due date of September 3rd. We couldn't be more excited!! I took 4 pregnancy tests (days, even weeks apart from each other) and they all came out negative. I was shocked when I took one final pregnancy test and it was positive. I was actually at Target, in the Target bathroom, when I took the test. I didn't want to wait until I got home, only to get all hyped up for it to say negative once again. So low and behold, in the good ole Target bathroom, my test showed 2 pink lines and with only myself to celebrate with, I began jumping up and down and screaming in excitement. That night I couldn't drive home fast enough to see Mike and Jordan and tell them the news. So, there it is...we will soon be a family of four:) So far I've been feeling pretty good. However, I've been extremely tired....no, make that exhausted, and have been so hungry at all times of the day. Mike can attest to this. I just can't seem to eat enough. Well, I will continue to update on my pregnancy and I will definitely try and post some pictures of Jordan soon. Adios friends!
