My First Ambulance Ride!

Although I am not proud of it, I feel like I should share. Friday as I was getting out of my car to go to work, I slipped and feel in the parking lot. I landed smack on my rear. Getting up I knew I hurt something, but I was hoping that I would be able to walk it off. I walked into work and tried to sit down (ya, that didn't work). I felt a little nauseous so I went into the bathroom. I tried to bend down and pain shot through my body. After that everything was a little blurry. My co-worker, Jami, ended up calling the paramedics and they took me to the hospital. Turns out I broke my tailbone, but the pain must have caused some weird blood pressure stuff because I was clammy and hot and totally out of it. Nothing was wrong with the baby, which I never felt like there was. I just got a major pain in my butt!!! Recovery has been on and off. I am trying to take as little pain meds. as possible. This was the first day I dared to take the stairs to get to my computer and made it without a lot of trouble. Anyway with all that said, baby and I are fine and healing well.

Little Lauren Beth

We had a very exciting day today. We found out that we are having a GIRL this time. Luke was only interested in the fish screen saver that was on the other computer in the ultrasound room, but it was still good to have him there. It will be interesting and different this time around though fun at the same time. There are such cute clothes out there for little girls. Everything else on the ultrasound was perfect. This is a textbook pregnancy so far.


Sorry the pics aren't very good, I was having trouble with my scanner. I am lucky to even get these.

CHRISTMAS!!!!

We had a blast this Christmas. Luke was so much fun this year.
Payton and Luke had more fun than anyone else playing together.

And of course we all loved the SNOW!!!

Here we go again!

Well, if you don't know already, we are pregnant again. I am about 4 months along and everything is going well. Our due date is May 21st so another May birthday in the family. I will keep info. updated on the blog. We will find out the sex right around the first of the year. Here is the ultrasound from 10 weeks.

Our day at the polls!

So I took Luke with me to vote today. This is how excited he was to be there.

We had to wait in line to re-register and change our address to our current one. He is laying on the floor of the lobby of the middle school where we voted. I think he takes after me about his joy for politics.

Luke's First Fish

This was over Labor day weekend when we all went camping. We took one day and went fishing. It was Luke's first fishing trip. It was freezing cold, but we still had a lot of fun. We (meaning I, Brenda) caught the ONLY two fish that day. Luke and Payton helped me out though.

Lukie's big boy bed!

We started Luke in his toddler bed around the time he turned two. The first night was a breeze. He fell asleep faster than he did in his crib. I thought it would be a fluke and we would have a fight on our hands the next night. Boy was I wrong! That kid sleeps like a baby, literally. We have not had one night were he has gotten out of bed after being put in it. He doesn't even get out of bed when he wakes up in the morning. He waits for me to get him out. Isn't this how God gets you to have another baby? He is just making it easy the first time around for me. I think I am in big trouble with the next one.
