Second set of besties.....

So we all know Ariana is Ryan's best friend. She talks about her all the time and wants to go play with her all the time.

Recently we haven't played much together b/c Katie and I have both been worn out. Why you ask??

BECAUSE WE ARE BOTH PREGNANT. AND DUE ON THE SAME DAY AT THAT, NOV 13.

Is that not the funniest thing ever? I know the babies won't be born on the same day b/c I will have a scheduled C section. I had one with Ryan and will have another a week before the due date.

I am finding out the gender on May 6th b/c we are having the chromosome testing which also let's us find out the gender. I am so excited.

Phillip has played with the thoughts of not knowing (and know that my aunt Linda wants that so bad :) ) but I am to much of a planner. I want to call the baby by his/her name. I want to plan the room, the clothes, the everything. So if everyone can keep it from Phillip and Aunt Linda, that would be great!!!

Our first picture togeher. Approx 9 weeks. Our pictures are 8 weeks. It will be fun to see how we compare throughout the pregnancies. I believe she is finding out this week as well.

Food....now my friend

Well, 11 and a half weeks and I am now starting to want food. It's all so different than when I was pg with Ryan. I wanted nothing but sweets and wanted to eat all the time.

This time, food has not been my friend. I haven't had anything that I really wanted.........except......pizza. I had pizza 6 out of 7 days the week of my first appt. I had to have pizza and had it 6 days in a row. And still, I can eat pizza anytime.

I have been craving sandwiches too. I had subway last night and blimpie for lunch today. I am still feeling yuck from time to time, but that is getting more far and few between.

Before pregnant, I had to have frozen yogurt or fro yo. I had it for the first time in probably a month. I took Ryan for getting all smiley faces last week. She loves it and was so happy that we got to go.

There's always time for a picture with her fro yo!!!

Saturday, I kept B and C and for doing so Heather took us to lunch. And guess what we had.......... you guessed it.......PIZZA. And Brooklyn's at that.

We decided to walk (which everyone knows I need it) so when we walked back, the kids had to trade flip flops. Poor B had two that didn't fit at all.



Sono picture

This is more for when I print out my books. I want to have the baby's first picture like I did for Ryan.

This was 8 weeks and 5 days.

The due date is Nov 13th, but we will have a scheduled C section so the baby will be here the week before. I am so confused now at what my due date is. Do I say Nov 13th, but we will have the baby a week before? Or do I sya beginning of Nov? Yeah....that sounds good. Beginning of Nov. It will be fun to look back at all of these posts when the baby is here and to see the baby's actual birthday!



Weekly progress

So here is my 11 weeks picture. I am going to have to stay on this picture thing so that the new baby will have cool books like Ryan did. I blogged ALL the time. I love to blog and post pictures, but seems like pictures get far and few between now.

I think the dress makes me look bigger than I am. Even though, the second pregnancy does show a lot sooner.



Happy birthday Heather. Hayley, Heather, Heather Shutlz and I all went out to the Cheesecake Factory and had dinner. The kids went to ASI for PNO and it was fun. Here is Heather and her snickers cheesecake!! Great picture. 37 looks good on you.

Another cute picture of the not so twin twins. We went to moms for lunch to celebrate Heather's bday. Mom sat outside and we all watched the kids play for hours. We had burgers and just enjoyed the day. 

Here are our roses blooming. They just sprout of out of nowhere. I had to take a picture of her with them to send to Suzanne b/c she and Bill planted them for us.  

10 Weeks!

10 Weeks. I am starting to feel pretty good. This time around I have been queasy pretty much all day. I did get a prescription that helps a bit.

We will get to find out the gender on May 6th. I am real excited b/c I want to call it by the correct term.



Good news all around

Good news to spead. Mom went home from the hospital on Saturday, the 13th. She is doing well. They had fancy rails put in the bathroom and shower. She is moving around pretty good, but she still doesn't feel like eating much. I'm so glad she is home.

Last Saturday night, we got invited to go to the Mansion on Turtle Creek. Ania, Becky's friend, invited us to spend her birthday night with her. She took us all out. Ryan did fantastic. We did prep her so that she would know that this was a fancy place. However, she was an angel and made us so proud.

Ryan made her a tent in the living room. I just thought this was to cute. 



Cute pics

Ryan goes on field trips all the time. Today she went to the library. The Librarian gets to read them stories.

Always has to end with a funny pose.

Ryan is going to be a big sister!

We are expecting a baby beginning of Nov. The due date is the 13th, but we will probably have a scheduled C Section a week before so that I do not go into labor.

This is the only beer I can have till Nov!

As of April 10th, I am 9 weeks. We get to find out the gender on May 6th.

Baby's first picture.





Disney on Ice

We took Ryan to Disney on Ice this year.

We didn't get to sit with Madi, but met up before and got a picture together.



Ryan sat with Phillip the entire time.



Fun wand that Phillip bought her. It lights up and spins.





My painting bday party and Hay's engagement

I love Painting with a Twist. This year for my bday, I got to do a private painting class. It was so much fun.

About a month before, Brent and I had planned to have him ask Hayley to marry him at my party. I was hoping that she would never think that it was going to happen this night. And she didn't....

He had an artist paint a painting that said "Will you marry me?" She got to keep the painting and we all signed the back of it. It was a lot of fun. And the class itself was a blast. I liked this painting.

Sweet Heather made me a birthday cake.

Easter Pictures/ Mom in hospital

Easter was pretty good this year. It would have been better if mom could have been there. She has been in that darn boot for a long time. On March 14th, she feel and hurt her knee. I took her to the orthopedic office on March 18th. She has to wear a brace to keep her knee completely straight for 4-6 weeks. On March 26th, she feel and broke her hip. She has been in the hospital ever since. She did have surgery and now she gets to go home tomorrow. She is doing very well.

During her time in the hopsital, Easter came and went. Ryan had a party at her school.

Ryan and Ari on the train



Brendan, Ari and Ryan. They have been friends since they were weeks old.



Treat time.



When it was time to hunt, Ms Roonu kept saying "Find the golden eggs and you will get a prize." All Ryan heard was golden eggs. She had nothing but yellow eggs in her basket.



Friends for life!



Mom always gets the kids matching Easter clothes. We were able to shop for them in early March before all of her falling incidents.



All of the greats about to hunt....
