Me and my little bear.


I am uploading these pictures of me and my first little baby girl! She is almost 21 and half months old! I can't believe she will be turning 2 in July. I want to cherish these last few weeks here before baby deuce is born knowing this is my last time with her as my only child. I fear (like most moms having a second child I think) on how I am going to love a second one as much as I love Raegan. And how I want to be fair to each child and give them the love and attention they both will need and deserve. I think Raegan is going to be such a good big sister, but I also know it is going to change her world forever. I get a little sad sometimes thinking that when we have this one, I am some how taking away some of her "babyness" and forcing her to grow up. Or maybe this is just all pregnancy hormones acting up.

On updates for Raegan...she has gotten 4 teeth in the past month, so it has been crazy to say the least. She has 3 new molars and one new lower front right tooth. She is still way "behind" the norm but catching up quickly. She also has an allergen induced asthmatic bronchitis. She was coughing for several weeks, but had no fever and no other sick symptoms, but I took her to the doctor and never expected to hear my little girl was so sick. She is on 2 inhaler medications and will be rechecked next week. She is still a little go getter and full of energy. With the nice weather she spends as much time outside as she can. Her two favorite outdoor activities are playing in the sandbox and ....collecting rocks. Yep she collects rocks passes them out to us...or piles them up.....and then usually returns them to various spots in the yard. Too funny. She enjoys coloring and is starting to get the idea that we only color on paper....thank goodness crayons wash off easily. She also loves doing anything mommy and daddy too, and helping us with cooking, cleaning, and putting things away. She is also very into her baby dolls and playing pretend mommy with them. She has started taking them with her everywhere we go, the gym, the store, on walks, to bath, you name it and baby comes along. I hope she is this excited when Deuce arrives.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the spring weather!

Deuce 4d scan at 35 weeks

So Chris and I went this morning to see a 4d ultrasound scan of baby deuce. We were fortunate with our pregnancy with Raegan to have an OB office that did the scans there for you. For this pregnancy our office does not offer this but Chris and I really wanted this memory for our second child so we went this morning and spent a half hour just watching our little deuce in 4d. It was so amazing and felt so wonderful to do something special for this second child. We think it looks like a boy...but what do we know, we thought Raegan looked like a boy! We also think he/she looks like Raegan did at her 4d scans so who knows. Deuce was so active and was a little camera shy. He/She was moving around and trying to get his/her hands in their mouth. Deuce was yawning and rubbing his/her eyes and it was so awesome to see. So her is two of the photos and I love to be able to share it with you all! God is Great!

34 weeks


34 week checkup today...and me and baby deuce are doing good. Heartbeat was 140bpm and estimated weight was 4lbs 8oz. The only snafu at this point is deuce is still in a frank breech postition. After this point it becomes less and less likely for him/her to turn head down. I will continue to pray in the next 5 weeks he/she listens to me and moves down. Time will tell, but I am definitely freaked out about the idea of a csection. AHHHH

Florida for David and Katie's wedding. April 3, 2010

Here is mommy and Raegan poolside in Sarasota, FL. We headed there for David and Katies wedding. Chris was a groomsmen and Raegan the flower girl. We had fun playing in the pool and were so thankful to have Nana and Papa come too so we had help with Raegan. She is a water baby for sure! And just to note I am 32 weeks pregnant here and being very brave letting it all hang out!

My little girl Raegan loves sunglasses and bows, and shoes, and being a girl, but will throw mud and play in the dirt at the same time! Love it. This was the rehearsal night and she was so adorable. Raegan is about 20 months old and growing into a little girl each and every day.

My gorgeous flower girl. She didn't quite make it down the aisle but nonetheless the most amazing flower girl for 20 months ever! She looked good and had fun!

So hard to get family photos these days. But I made sure we had at least one of us the night of the wedding. Chris looked so good and when I look at this photo now I can't believe we only have a couple weeks left before we are a family of 4.



My favorite photo from that weekend. Not often me and Rae smile at the same time! Love the sun and my southern baby girl!
