Ok...So I AM Having A Baby

For those of you who have been asking for this post, I AM having a baby.

I'm 23 weeks along and due May 8, 2010.
And it's a GIRL...for sure. We're going to name her Shannon May.

Here are a couple of shots, but not of my belly...ha ha ha ha! I don't have any of those surprisingly. Maybe sometime before I reach the end I will.

1st Ultrasound at 8 1/2 weeks - she was moving around like crazy even then.

Profile Shot - 19 and 1/2 weeks

Her long dancer legs....I hope.
Creepy skeleton face! She's much cuter in 3d.

Anyhow, we got another US done today and she is DEFINITELY a girl...those pics will come later once I have them scanned.

And those of you who were waiting and waiting for this post, are you completely satisfied now?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to my little man who is THREE years old today!!

He makes me laugh and brings so much joy in my life

and I am SO lucky to have him around.

Pictures to come of all the celebrations soon!!

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We celebrated bringing in the New Year by having fun with family. We went to my inlaw's house and ate tons of food, watched movies, and played games.

My sister-in-law was a great sport letting Tyler apply her make-up for the night.

Tyler's favorite part was playing air hockey. He's actually pretty good...and pretty funny to watch.

There was dancing...

Limbo!!

The countdown to the New Year...

And lots of "bubbly."

And I think Tyler was even less tired at midnight than I was...

Christmas

Merry Christmas

a week late, but just as sincere.

Santa was kind to all. And so were the grandparents. We had good food, good fun, good presents, and definitely some good time off.

I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas as well.

And then, the day after Christmas Tyler said: "Mommy, I can't wait til Christmas." Hopefully he has a lot of patience...

I'm Far Beyond Catching Up

First, I have not blogged in a long time, nor have I had the time or energy to blog in a long time. Second, I am so sick of computers at the moment that I don't want to have anything to do with them. And third, I haven't even loaded my Christmas pictures to my computer yet. But anyhow...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I hope you had a great holiday and that Santa treated you nicely. Enjoy some Blizzard 09 pictures until I can get up the gumption (sp?) to do a REAL blog and catch you up on the bazillion things we have been up to...
