Happy Thanksgiving!!

Whew...I can't believe we are already to Thanksgiving this year. It has flown by!! This Thanksgiving, my MIL decided to have all of us over at her house. She locked us down about July for this holiday. When we asked what to bring, she said, "I want to do it by myself. Y'all don't have to bring anything." I said, "SOLD." This pregnant mama was up for a stress free Thanksgiving. I like where all I have to do is eat. Lately, eating has been my favorite thing to do. We joined Natalie, Mike, Telena, Reese, Grayson, Amanda (Mike's daughter) and her two kids, Gabby and Devin, Roy (Amanda's boyfriend) and Roy's mom. We also brought along our adoptive family members, David and Megan. The food was AWESOME. Mike got a fried turkey, and Natalie cooked corn casserole, green bean casserole, potatoes, rolls and cranberry salad. She also cooked pecan pies, chocolate delight and a pumpkin pie for Jeff. Harrison decided to sleep through his second Thanksgiving. He did eat a fair amount of turkey when he woke up. The Texans managed a win, and I managed to eat so much that I could hear my sweatpants calling my name all the way from Conroe. :)

"Cheese"

He's growing up so fast. :(

Harrison and Gammy

Grayson.

LOVE!

Uncle Jeff and Grayson.

I have so many things to be thankful for right now, I don't even know where to begin. I am truly one blessed girl. I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving like we did! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Silly Boy!

We haven't done too much lately, due to my sickness with the pregnancy, Jeff having a cold, and Harrison not feeling well, either. However, I have managed to take some very silly pictures of our sweet boy. Honestly, he gets more and more personality each day. I know I go on and on about this kid, but I just can't get enough of how he is becoming his own little person. Anyways, I will get to the pictures!! :)

Jeff and Harrison were playing with my phone, and Jeff took some pics of this guy. He says, "cheese" when you pull out the camera.

You HAVE to wear your sunglasses out and about!

This was Friday. He wasn't feeling his best. I will also say that he is in his Daddy's chair. Not everyone gets privileges of sitting in "Big Easy."

Last Tuesday when we went to vote! He was the hit of the voting booth!

Hopefully, we will get out and about more in the next couple of weeks and I will have more to post!

12 Weeks

I FINALLY made it to the second trimester! *happy dance* We had our 12 week appointment this past Wednesday. We go to see our little one. Harrison was more interested in the decorations in the tech's office than the baby on the monitor.  The heartbeat was 155. It was down from the 176 four weeks ago.  Dr. G said that everything looked really good. We are scheduled to go back in four weeks. I asked about finding out what the baby is, and I told him that we would have to wait until after Christmas if we were going to wait until 20 weeks. :( Dr. Giannotti, being the wonderful doctor he is, told us that we can come back at 18 weeks (that's the Wednesday before Christmas!) and we can do the gender scan!! WE WIN!

Stretching out and enjoying sleepy time!

12 Weeks

Size of Baby: the size of a passion fruit
Total Weight Gain/Loss: down 7 lbs. :(
Maternity Clothes: not yet. Although, I don't think it will be too much longer
Gender: 6 more weeks!!
Movement: not yet. I'm ready though!
Sleep: well, I have to take Phenergan every night, so I sleep pretty well.
What I miss: FOOD!!!! and Dr. Pepper
Cravings: just apple juice lately
Symptoms: I have still been pretty sick. Dr. G said it may last until I'm about 16 weeks. That was not what I wanted to hear. :( Maybe it will go away sooner, though.
Best Moment This Week: getting to see Baby 2 on the ultrasound.

I didn't document the pregnancy with Harrison as much as I had wanted. I saw this on a blog that I follow, and I thought it was a great way to keep up with everything. 

Happy Halloween!

A little late, but I hope everyone had a "super" Halloween. Harrison was going to be a monster for Halloween, since he loves "scaring" people. However, the monster costumes that they had for his age were either too hot or Harrison couldn't walk well. We opted for Superman instead. I must say, out of all the Supermans I have seen, this guy was the most handsome! We started out the day by going by to see Daddy, Papa and David at the dealership. Megan managed to swing by and check him out as well. He was a very friendly superhero at the dealership. He got his first "treat" of the evening. After that, we went over to Aunt Teeny's. Ever since Reese was old enough to trick-or-treat, we have went around their neighborhood. It has turned into a little tradition. Shay brought over pizzas for everyone. We enjoyed the evening with Gammy, Aunt Teeny, Reese, Grayson, Shay, Rebecca, and some of Telena's friends from church. We had so much fun! Harrison thoroughly enjoyed the wagon that Gammy had bought for going around the neighborhood. He would say, "weeeeeee," when we would go down a hill or something. He even caught the attention of a guy dressed as a hotdog. Apparently, he had a small obsession with Superman himself. We didn't get too much candy, because it would just be me eating it all. I think it is safe to say that Harrison had a great time, though. He slept in pretty late the next morning. :) Enjoy the pictures! 

It was very hectic so I failed as an aunt/mom and didn't get any pictures of the cousins together. :(

The wagon!

Starting early at the dealership. He'll be desking deals before we know it!

I LOVE this look on his face. He did NOT want to stop drinking his milk for a photo op. I like to think that he was really just posing to look like a serious hero!

This was earlier in the day. He has become obsessed with shoes lately, and he wanted "Daddeeee's" soos on. :)
