Grammie and Easton

Easton has a new girlfriend!!!

Easton has a new girlfriend named Sammie. Her Mom and Dad and Jon and I take eachother's kid once a month so we can each get a date night. Easton was over at their house and Stacey caught the two kiddies in Sammie's bed reading books. Don't they look like an old married couple....

Easton is already learning to shave

Sometimes when Jon is shaving, Easton will come in and want to shave like Daddy. Jon will just put the cover on and help Easton "fake" shave. Well, yesterday Easton came into the bathroom when I was getting ready and grabbed Jon's razor and started to shave. It was not on. But it was cute because he made the buzzing noise.

Only 6 more weeks...at the latest

6 more weeks to go. The OB wants to keep me on my heart meds for the rest of the pregnancy. Thus meaning I will not be put on bed rest in 3 weeks. Yeah!! That thought was giving me great stress. Bed rest with a 2 year old just did not seem appealing. I believe Makenlee has turned so she is no longer breech. Let's hope she keeps her little head down and does not decide to do acrobatics again. We are in the home stretch. We are getting stuff together and pulling baby stuff out of storage and getting ready for Miss Makenlee's arrival. Jon is little overwhemlemed with the wardrobe this girl has already. She puts Easton to shame.

Easton is already practing being a Big brother

I got Easton a doll for Christmas (Jon was not thrilled). I got it so he would get used to holding it and being nice to it. He does not really play with it he just looks at it and says baby or he will carry it over the something and drop it. The other day he put the doll in his little spiderman chair and got his silky blankets and wrapped and covered the doll up. It was cute. Well, today he went and got one of his diapers and tried to put a diaper on it and then wanted me to open the wipe container so he could wipe her bottom, which he did. Well, then he went and got the spoon that we use to give him a correction (spanking) and he spanked the doll. Then to top it all off he put the doll in his room for a time out. We laughed after the baby got a time out. He is practicing for his big brother role...and he passes in my book minus the spanking and time out.

8 more weeks

We went to the OB today and found out we will be having the baby by 4/27. YEAH!!! That is one less week of being pregnant. We will know more in the next few weeks as delivery comes close. But with the issues that I have been having with my heart the OB wants to maybe induce so my labor is in a controlled setting. But I had Easton at 39 weeks and he just came at that time. So maybe that will be the case with the little misses. She is breech now so that also adds to this crazy pregnancy too.

Baby Shower time

I had a baby shower thrown by my friends from my Mom's group last Tuesday night. I had a great time. It was so fun opening girly gifts. The baby got a couple pairs of cute shoes, some outifts and other things that will come in handy come May. Here are some pictures from the night.

20 weeks down 10 to go...

I have hit the 30 week mark. Our little girl will be here in 10 weeks. It is crazy. The pregnancy has flown by. There are days when we can't wait to be a family of four and then there are days when we are pulling our hair out with one. Ha. But nonetheless I can't wait to see Easton as a big brother. I can't wait to see how their relationship will be. I think he will make a good big brother.

Minnesota Hockey

Grandma and Grandpa sent me this shirt....

Did someone tell Easton it was raining?

Easton is ready for the rain!!

At the mall

There is this cool indoor play area at the mall. We go there at least once a week. It is somewhat enclosed. Easton loves to play and run around. They even have an area where there are all these books and he'll go sit and read. It is super cool!!!

Looking at the Best Buy ad

We caught Easton looking through the paper Sunday. He was pointing at all the things he wanted I guess.

Jon has officially brainwashed our son

Jon has offically braniwashed our son into being a Packer Fan. He taught Easton "Go Packers" and so now everytime Easton sees the logo. He yells, "Go Packers." Daddy is proud as he could be. It is quite cute, though, I have to admit.

What is new with us?

We had an ultrasound to see our baby girl today. She is growing and all is well with her. The tech kept saying this girls has got some long legs and big feet. We just laughed. We have less then 3 months before she is born so it is getting close. We are getting excited. We are cherishing the times we have with the 3 of us now. As our world will be changing come May with the little misses arrival.

What a Day!!!

This was after he was sugared out and opened his presents. He was done for the day and Mommy was making him wear his b-day hat....What a mean Mommy, I am.

Easton is 2

Easton turned 2 on 1/27. We had a party for him and 10 of his little friends and their parents. He had a blast.

Easton and Eli

Here is a picture of Eli Chandler (Erik and Kim's son) and Easton. They had some fun playing together while Jon and I went out on a date a couple weeks ago. Aren't they cute in their jammies!!!!!

Our 5th Anniversary

We celebrated our 5th anniversary yesterday. We got to go out and celebrate two nights in a row. Which was great. We really enjoyed going out to dinner and having an adult conversation. No asking for highchairs, cutting up Easton's food, or hoping he sits still for the duration of the meal. It was fantastic. Here is a picture of us on our wedding day and then after five years of marriage. Don't we look so happy. My have we changed.

Heart Issues

After much prayer, counsel, talking to a few Dr.'s and tons of research. I am taking the beta-blocker. My OB will be monitoring me extra closely with ultrasound and fetal monitoring. We are just trusting that God will keep me and our baby girl healthy through all this and I will go full-term.

New Years Eve

The reality of parenthood hit me this New Year's. We got home from a New Year's Eve party at 1am and Easton woke up and was rearing to go at 7:30am. No more sleeping in on New Years. Easton came in and dumped all his matchbox cars on me. Fun Fun!!!!!
