A sneak peek…

I had my targeted ultrasound today, which gave us our first look at baby #2! I can’t believe how much he looks like Deacon! He kept covering his face with his hands so we only got a few good looks, but I think he’s a cutie!!

 

Is there a doctor in the house?

Happy Halloween to everybody!! Hope yours was great and you haven’t overdosed on candy yet. Terry decided Deacon should be a doctor, and he even dressed up with him!! (For those of you who know Terry, this NEVER happens).  We made the rounds at all the grandparents’ houses and had a great day!

Despite the crabby look, he did have a good day!

 Awww!! Like father, like son (okay, he’s a doctor of pharmaceuticals, but you get the idea!)

I knew it!!

I faithfully watch the bachelor and bachelorette ( I know, roll your eyes) and last season I was praying they would make Jake the next bachelor. Sure enough, they did! Terry is gonna have a cow, because he knows I have a huge crush on him (Terry also watched the bachelorette with me. Don’t know if that is a good thing or bad thing).  I’ve never been so excited for January!

It’s a…

BOY!!!!

Can’t say we’re surprised. Both Terry and I have a feeling all our kids will be boys! I’m so excited for Deacon to have a little brother, and I’m already lecturing him on how to be nice and not beat him up! Right now the baby weighs almost 1 pound and is doing well.

I know it’s hard to tell, but that is a boy part!

Deacon also got his first haircut. Not that he had a lot to begin with, but it was getting pretty shaggy up front. Grandma Jill did the honors, and it turned out quite nice! Deacon did such a good job holding still (AFTER we gave him a sucker!)

 

Day Trip

I met up with some new friends today at the State Capitol. They are actually friends of Maria’s, but since we share everything… We were just about to set up lunch on the front lawn of the Capitol, when we were politely asked move because we were in the Governor’s shot! We moved over a few feet, and when he was done he came over and apologized. So polite! Then I asked him for pictures, which probably wasn’t so polite, but how often do you meet the Governor? Then we headed in for a tour of the newly renovated Capitol. People, if you haven’t seen it, go to there!! It is very beautiful and ornate, with oodles of history in every room. Deacon was on his best behavior, which is was very abnormal, but it made for a very enjoyable afternoon.

The house of Representatives (I think. It got confusing after a while!)

This is how much Deacon enjoyed the day!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Deacon turned 1 year old today! I can’t  believe it’s been one year ago today that I gave birth to this special little boy. Terry and I were both in shock the whole day remembering the events of last year.  We had a big birthday bash for Deacon on Sunday (it turned into a triple birthday party because that was mine and Maria’s birthday).  Lots of family and friends were there and they spoiled Deacon rotten!

This is what a long day of partying does to a cute little boy!

 

Deacon we love you so much and are so glad you are growing up to be such sweet boy!

Baby #2 Update

Went to the doctor today, and all is well with baby #2.  Next visit we will officially know the sex, but unofficially we were able to pretty much tell what it is. The doc said girl parts can look big on the ultrasound, but these parts looked “pretty big”.  Guess we will have to wait one more month!
