1st Sonogram!

This pregnancy has been very different than my last. I have forgotten that I am pregnant occasionally and I didn't go see a doctor unitl I was 14 weeks! So within a weeks time I have seen the doctor and had a sonogram.
The purpose of the sonogram was to get an acurate due date. Our due date is August 5th and since the baby was measuring only a week behind we aren't changing the due date. We were also able to see what the gender of the baby is! The sonographer said she is pretty sure we are having a BOY, but to not to go out and buy lots of blue. Our next sonogram will be at 22 weeks and then we should know more definitely.
In the meantime we are thinking of names and are open to suggestions, it just doesn't mean we will pick the name you suggested! Keep us in your prayers.

Christmas Celebrating!

New Table and Chairs!

I know, I know that this is 2 months late but I wanted to share these great pictures! We decided to start some family traditions now that Audrey is 2. My parents came in from Waco and brought a great surprise with them.

I had asked my mom to bring some folding chairs to compensate for the lack of seating in our house. My mom came in and said she had forgotten to pack the chairs. After we had eaten dinner my parents went out to the car to get their luggage and surprised me with a new-to-me dining table and chairs!

Christmas Eve we played games and had great snacking! We also opened gifts from family. After the little one was all snug in her bed with visions of sugar plums...oh yeah on with the story, we (Matthew, my dad, sister and myself) commenced to assemble all the the Christmas toys.

Cool Dad

Merry Christmas!

Matthew and I were so excited for Audrey and enjoyed all the excitement. Audrey had so much fun Christmas morning playing with all her new toys. I think she was a little overwhelmed!

Look at all the loot!

We really enjoyed having my folks up and enjoyed having a less-stressful Christmas at home.

Christmas Princess Tea

Back at the beginning of December I schemed to get all the little girls in our circle together to have some girl time. Audrey has recently become enamored with dressing up and being a princess! So I thought that I would start a tradition that I can carry on until Audrey leaves for college: Christmas Tea time.

Miss J-Bug!

I think our little Princess Tea party went smashing! The girls were so well behaved and knew just what to do despite being so young.

Cookie Creations

We had playtime, lunch and then cookie decorating. Sadly to say there was no tea had by the little ones. I think all the mommies enjoyed watching our little ladies!

Catching Up...

Okay so it has been a long time since I have posted...sorry folks. What can I say...I have been busy? So get ready for some posts that should have been posted several months ago but are too noteworthy to not post!
