Boyfriend

I love my people. I love my people and this new person I'm cooking. And, despite my lack of posting, I love you too!

Shall we meet my new boyfriend? FB peeps have already seen his squishy face, but I thought I'd post again. He's a lot more visible than Abby was when it was her in there.

Almost 2/3 done! (Picture at 25 weeks.)

Now that it's February, here's the rest of our December

We did festive things and on Christmas Eve, went to Spencer's parents and participated in their annual nativity and talent show.

 She thought she was soooo important just because she was an angel!

The rest of the night, Ab wouldn't let go of Andrea's baby Jesus, aka birth educational doll that she uses for her classes. (What was his name? I can't remember!)

 Abby's talent was singing her ABCs and The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Ab had a poop incident Christmas morning, which meant she got a bath, and Dad ended up showering too... leaving me as the only one un-showered and still in PJs all morning.

 Later that day, my mom and dad came over, and further that night Robbie and Hannah came into town. We were so happy to have everyone over here (Carrie and kids came for the day the next day) but I literally couldn't keep anything down so I only got a handful of pictures with Mom and Dad, and none of Robbie and Hannah. Sorry!
There is a theory that I was morning sick with a touch of flu, because Hannah was struck with it right after they left our house, as did Carrie. Probably. It was crazy how terrible I felt.

Did any of my family get any pictures while we were together? Oh well. I love you guys!

Oh, and in case you didn't already know...

 

Here's my little bell pepper and I a few weeks ago. 

Kicking and bumping like mad, healthy heartbeat, and measuring three days before his due date (5/23/13) at last check up- Currently we're at 22 weeks!

Should I even try to catch up??

I am really asking!

I have had, it seems, a lot going on, but truthfully I just don't think about posting much anymore. For one thing, every time I get the camera out, Abby wants to take pictures herself, or will stop whatever it is she is doing to complain about my photographing her.

I can't Instagram around her anymore, either, because she learned (eventually I knew this would come) that she can play on the iPod. Her favorite thing is the YouTube app- she drops whatever she is doing to ask to "listen to some songs."

 Anyway, here is a re-cap of the last few weeks, in a small dose:

I did get more pictures of Halloween, but they seem so irrelevant now! I was newly pregnant and not feeling too hot.

 Our first big snow, whenever that was. Look at her smile!

 

There was a phase where we checked out a lot of Hanukkah books right after our decorations went up. I'm glad to know Curious George and Corduroy are Jewish. We don't discriminate against other religions in our household.

 

 

The pictures taken two weeks before Christmas are still on my camera, but I'm afraid I missed most of the festivities. Most of my family were in town, as well as most of Spencer's family, but I was pretty bad at taking pictures. Maybe I can get around to them in another month or so?

It's a-Bingo!

Those may have been the exact words I said to Spencer when my pregnancy test came out positive.

We had thought (well, fine- I had thought) that it might be a good time to bring another little one into our family. I had a feeling that we had another child that we needed to meet, which is a little weird I guess, but not untrue. It was right around Abby's 2nd birthday that Spencer and I realized that she was getting old enough that we could probably handle it.

I am 14 weeks, due May 23, 2013! I am pretty sick and can't handle thinking about or eating food. Last time, with Abby, I was sick the entire pregnancy. I had well-wishers say that the second trimester will bring some relief, and oh, isn't it nice that the first trimester is over? Hah! Although, I did realize at some point that I wasn't feeling nauseated every second of the day, although I'd still throw up like crazy. I'm hoping that point will come soon this time around, where I don't feel terrible all the time!

Want to know something funny? My sister Carrie, who piggy-backed on my last pregnancy (Abby and Colton were born 2 weeks apart) is pregnant too! Due May 24th. Who thinks we can keep this up until we're done?
My next doctor's appointment is next Thursday, and the dr says if the baby is cooperative we can see the sex already! Yay!

Lotsa Lotsa pictures!

 We had a friend take pictures of us several weeks ago. I think they turned out okay. What do you think?

 

 *Caption me! I think Abby looks a little devious in this picture. Like, "Aha!" or "Yesss!"
