surprise ultrasound

Today was kinda a stressful day for me. I had to wake up early and take the one hour glucose test. First of all, that drink was nasty. When I was pregnant with Brady I drank an orange drink and it wasn't so bad but this liquid was clear and I almost vomited! Anyways, So we went and did that. Brady was crazy tired and Joe wasn't happy because he had take care of him. Soon after the blood work we went to my OB Dr. appt. This is when my day got better, My Doctor told me that I don't have to get the RhoGam shot in my bum for two more weeks! (I really really hate shots) Then My Dr. asked me if I would like to hear the heartbeat or actually see the heartbeat. Joe and I of course chose to see the little guy. He is looking really good and healthy. He seems so big to me! I am thinking he might be bigger than Brady was. Most of the pictures are really blurry because it was done on one of the small office ultrasound machines. Here is his leg and foot. I thought it was cute!

Brady's First Potty

Today I was in Wal-mart and I was just looking in the baby section and I saw this little potty and thought what the heck, he might use it! I brought it home, sat him on it, then turned on the water to see if that will make him want to pee. After about a minute of sitting there he got excited and jumped up! I looked and saw a puddle at the bottom of the potty. I am so proud of my little tinkler!


Sorry if that is discusting! I was so proud of him, I had to take a picture of his pee! haha

Brady and Daddy

Joe was getting Brady ready for the day and he was having some problems with his jeans. I thought it was funny!

No he did not do this on purpose!

big boy room

I finally got Brady's new big boy room put together. He loves all the animals and the bright colors. Last night was his first night sleeping in a toddler bed. He did well until Joe found him under the bed with his head hitting the wall at 5 am. We went and got a side rail so hopefully tonight will be better!





Here is the babies room. Just Brady's old room put down the hall. All of the baby stuff looks new so I don't mind using it for our next one!

28 weeks (7 months)

So I am 28 weeks now. Time has been going by fast so that is a good thing but I really do feel like I am going to pop. My back is killing me, my legs are always cramping, and I keep having those painful braxton hicks contractions. For some reason this one is way harder on me than my first! Is that how it is for everyone? I try to walk as much as I can but my body slowly shuts down after 15 minutes of walking. I am ready for him to be out so I start working on losing weight and feeling better. I feel like I have been pregnant for two years! We are going to have a good (3-4 yr) gap between this one and our next! only 12 weeks or 84 days or 30% left!

Brady's 2nd Easter!

Yesterday (Saturday) Brady and I had a very busy day! First, we went to my cousin Amy's baby shower. It was really nice to see and visit with my cousins. After the baby shower we headed off to Grandma Johnson's house for an Easter egg hunt with his cousins. Brady had fun, he was a little cranky and tired but I still think he enjoyed playing with William, Molly, Henry, Adelaide, and Wesley. Grandma Johnson made a ton of eggs for the kids to find! Brady dumped most of his candy into the dog toy box so we had to throw most of it away. Its ok though, he tends to behave better without a bunch of sugar in his system.

This morning wasn't a good start for me. I was in so much pain from chasing Brady around yesterday that I couldn't stand up. I had to call my dad in bed to have him get poor crying Brady out of his bed. Once I took a couple extra strength Tylenol I was able to get Brady on camera opening his Easter basket and to help him find eggs. This year was his first year of actually being able to walk around and find eggs. I wish Joe could have been here! Joe has yet to see Brady on Easter. Last year Joe was at school in Pensacola. Maybe next year Joe can help him find eggs! Here is Brady eating his cute mini pancake breakfast that Grandma made him.

And of course my mom has to go all out for every single holiday. Here is my sisters, Joe's, and my Easter baskets. Yes my mom still gets me an Easter basket. And no 23 isn't too old for Easter baskets and valentine gifts haha.

I thought it would be fun to post a picture of Brady one year ago. He was so cute at his first Easter. Time really does fly by!

Some good news..

Joe had a big "test" today for the NAVY and he passed it! He was really happy! Those things aren't easy to pass!

Some better news is that Joe doesn't have to go on the 6 week boat ride after all. His Sr. Chief told him because our baby is due kinda soon that he will get to stay home until the baby is born. This means that he will most likely go on a ship soon after the baby is born but that's ok! I just really want him to be there for the birth.

I also wanted to share some cute pictures I took today! Isn't he the cutest? He loves to show off his big two teeth! Brady is at a very silly age. He is always trying to make mommy and daddy laugh. We love him.
