18 week ultrasound

So here is deuce at our 18 week ultrasound. Heart beat was 147 bpm and everything looked great on the baby. We stayed strong and turned our heads when the tech went south. Chris and I, and apparently a lot of others are all thinking boy. I guess we will find out in May! We are bringing in the New Year at home here in CT, with a fresh 4 inches of snow that fell this morning. Not sure how many of these holidays we will have up here so we will take in the beauty of the snow, stay warm inside, and look forward to warmer days ( when do they come up here, April? May?).

Baby Duece is on his/her way!

So it is crazy to think I started this blog shortly after we found out we were pregnant with Raegan, our first. This was about 2 years ago. And I can't believe I am writing today talking about your second pregnancy. We found a few days after Laura's 30th birthday. Somewhat of a surprise, we are so blessed and so happy to be having a second baby and that Raegan and this baby will be so close in age, just under 2 years! I am almost 11 and half weeks pregnant and this time it is going much faster. I guess keeping up with a toddler occupies most of my time. We have been to a couple Dr appt and they have all gone very well. We have heard the heartbeat twice and last Wednesday we saw Duece moving and kicking around. Amazing for someone that is only 2 inches big. We are gearing up for a week down in Atlanta for Thanksgiving and will be seeing lots of family and friends. WE love and miss them all so much. Above is a the 11weeks and 3 day ultrasound photo of duece. Heartbeat was 167bpm. If you look close you can see a hand, leg, and some toes tucked up under his/her butt.

Oct 15, first snow of the season...

Are you kidding me. This doesn't do it justice. Nothing was sticking to the ground. But it was snowing/sleeting all day! It is more snow then we had all year in South Carolina last year. What have we gotten ourselves into! Lord please be with us!

Isn't she lovely!

Labor Day in Raleigh

Raegan had so much fun playing with her cousin Trevor. She tried to keep up with him, and was wanting to do everything he did. Too funny!
















Raegan learned to go up and down Gma and Gpa's hill and she had so much fun playing outside.















Trevor and Raegan sitting for a picture. But Raegan kept pulling Trevor's ear making him laugh.

USC v NCSU

LETS GO GAMECOCKS! We had so much fun traveling down to Raleigh for the opening game for Carolina against NCSU and better yet was watching our Gamecocks win! It might not have been pretty, but we are still 1-0 to start the season! I will take it!

Raegan's modeling debut

This is from a toy company called Hearthsong. I found these online of their Halloween preview. I absolutely love them and think she looks so adorable! She was about 9 months old when she did the job.

LETS GO GAMECOCKS

Raegan, mommy and daddy are ready for some gamecock football. We leave on Thursday for Raleigh for the opening game against NCSU. We are so excited to see family and watch some football. Raegan was trying on her cheerleading outfit (Thanks to Mr and Mrs. Jennings) and we had to show everyone how cute she looked. Raegan is a little over 13 and half months old weighing in just over 19lbs. She still has only 2 teeth but they are the cutest 2 teeth! We have plans to travel to Columbia for the USC v Kentucky game as well as the USC v Clemson game. We hope to see and catch up with lots of family and friends! Love to all!

Raegan 13 months old

My first attempt at putting pigtails in Raegan's hair. She actually let me do it without much a fuss. She has 2 teeth, she is walking everywhere. Has a few new words in her vobulary like shoes, and "uh-oh". She probably weighs about 19lbs and has such fun personality. Chris and I took her to the park on Saturday and played "soccer' with her. She absolutely loves being outside. We leave for Raleigh in 10 days for opening football game between USC and NCSU. We are so excited to see family and friends and of course a good gamecock butt kicking to the Wolfpack!

Raegan Plays Soccer for first time

Enough Said....
She's a natural!

Aquarium and Zoo

So Nana and Papa came to visit us here in CT and we decided to take Raegan out exploring the Maritime aquarium and Beardsley Zoo. She loved the colorful fishes and would try to grab them out of the tank. The zoo was also nice, small and few animals, but the weather was so nice and we all had a great time getting out and walking around. Raegan's favorite was the stinky pig. They made her laugh with their funny oink oink noises.

August Already??

Here are some updated photos of little miss Raegan Lee, who turned one July 18th, and went to the beach in Charleston, SC with family to celebrate. She is walking, has two teeth (finally), and loves to talk!

First Self Feeding and First Steps

SO now that I turning a year old, I have decided I want to feed myself. This was my first try with applesause.

I was so proud of myself.

Here I am learning to walk. I do take a few steps by myself now.
And for those of you down south, yes it is July and Raegan is wearing pants and long sleeve shirt. CT is so strange!

Crusing around the house. And having a good time
