It's a Boy!

I am 16 weeks and 5 days today, and officially grown out of any and all clothes that I wore previous to being pregnant. This has already been quite an eventful pregnancy, with learning there were twins at 5 weeks, then that one didn't make it at about 10 weeks, having 5 ultrasounds already, an amnio and still having sporadic morning sickness. Luckily the morning sickness is less frequent, but it seems to be more intense when I have it. It's amazing how differnt this is from my pregnancy with Elliot. Now the quest for the perfect name is on...

Something Sweet!

So I am behind on my blog, because we were staying in Sunset Beach for about 10 days, and I had no internet access. While we were there Elliot and I both discovered something sweet. He discovered Orange Crush Soda, and I discovered the best hot fudge sundae in the whole wide world, at the Harbor House Cafe. Seriously the best sundae ever. Next time I will have my camera with me to take a picture. Needless to say, my doctor commented on the 5 pounds that I gained at my appointment yesterday.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I hope it was a wonderful day for all of you amazing Moms! I wanted to post some fun pictures of my mom, and pics that remind me of my mom and what a great woman she is and was growing up.

I was about Elliot's age here. I think it was Easter. My mom made all three of our matching dresses. She made of all of my clothes when I was young. The fabric is probably from TG&Y!

My mom on the left and me on the right. Both are of us in Kindegarten. I can remember my Great Grandma Phoebe giving me this perm, that I absolutely hated. She was my favorite person in the world, but when she gave me that permed hairdo, I was really mad at her. IT was only thirty years later, that we realized what my Great Grandma was doing. She wanted me to look like my mom!

I was about 14 or 15 here. My mom saved her crazy 70's clothes for us to mess around in. This one and the shoes that I am wearing were our favorite.

The essence of my childhood. We were happy kids. Thanks Mom.

Lizzie the Lizard...

I know, what an uninventive name for a lizard. One of my first realizations of the life of being the mom of a boy. He spent hours with this lizard at our favorite neighbor Sharon's house.

I just love this sweet happy face...


Of course he still doesn't want to look at me if I have a camera in my hand. Here in the monkey cage on the Casey Jr. Train ride, that he keeps referring to as the Carl's Jr. Train ride!


A hug for Minnie

Hugs in Pooh Corner!

After two other attempts, Elliot finally got to meet and hug Winnie the Pooh. It is so fun, now that he isn't scared of the characters. He wanted to see all of them today. Here is some fun in Pooh Corner.

















More favorites of the day to come, probably tomorrow morning.
