Move along…Move Along

Christmas 2010 came and went as fast as I can destroy a bag of Sweet Sixteen Donuts…which is very fast friends…

It got warmed up with a great cookie decorating party. Brock…who-was THE only boy at the party…learned alot about Fancy Nancy and all things PINK!

Then, before we knew it, it was time for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. We picked the COLDEST day of the year to go, but it got us in the Christmas spirit….Brock and Cason had LOTS of fun…

 

Cookies and hot chocolate…YES PLEASE!

This picture STILL makes me laugh…part of the parade…

Best $10 I spent that day-This bubble gun=happiness for Brock.

Captain Hook is obviously WEST-SIDE ‘FOR LIFE!!!

After we got back home-Jeremy and I both fell out with Strep throat. Jeremy, literally “fell out” with it. He got so sick, he passed out in the bathroom.

Thankfully, we made it through with lots of rest , drugs and help from our family….and were well for CHRISTMAS…..

Awww…ain’t he a brat cute…never wants to smile for a picture any more!

Christmas Eve at Nana and Papa’s.

Brock INSISTED Santa have cookie and Coke…Brock

knows Santa’s  love for Coke.

 

Santa brought a Spiderman costume…we had to put that thing on BEFORE any other presents were opened.

Then we headed to Grandmas for lunch and more presents. 

Brock and Colleen with their new Pillow Pets!

  

Every boy needs a web shooter!

 

Got ‘em!

Christmas seemed to fly by and I was sick of my decorations, so they are down and in the attic! We are getting ready for New Year’s…I’m looking forward to ham and black-eyed peas…and a week full of rest and time with Brock and Jeremy! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

22 weeks and other stuff…

So pregnancy has made me loose what bit of patience I had. Therefore, you don’t get the full long weekly post. You get a belly shot and another post all wrapped in one!

What’s going on this week:

After dealing with Brock having last week strep throat, last week of school, Christmas parties and Christmas shopping…I am exhausted!

I did get to go to my OBGYN this week…however, not for a sonogram but for a STREP test…yuk! Now, Jeremy and I both have strep throat and it is tough. At least we are off work, there is no way I would of been able to go to work with this mess. It’s been three days and about all I can do it take a shower  …hopefully today I will bounce back. I’ve got so much to-do since it is only 3 days before CHRISTMAS! I can’t believe it! I am so thankful we got sick BEFORE Christmas…instead of during!

Here is my 22 week shot…no face, too tired, no make and I set the self timer…

 

Gray and black...the only colors my wardrobe has to offer these days….along with these yoga pants. I look really big here, but after 3 days of not eating, Cooper has lost his “poof”! Unfortunately, my backside has NOT!

Wordless Wednesday

The black eye was still lingering.

Rock on…

Clearly, he had enough at this point!

DCF….We can explain!

Well…if Brock’s school hasn’t called DCF (Dept. of Children and Families) it is a miracle!

Two weeks ago he was limping at school. Then last Monday, he showed up with a shiner…that is right a BLACK EYE!  He was with his Daddy, when the incident occurred. His head collided with Brady’s (our cousin) head. Luckily, it hasn’t stopped or slowed him down any. He didn’t even cry when he ran into Brady! Nor could his Daddy remember what happened that would of made him have a dark, swollen eye…

Wouldn’t it be great to think like a Dad? Not worrying/remembering/thinking about every little bite, bump or bruise!?!

Brock is doing his homework here…I can’t believe my 3 year old had homework!!! He loved every minute of it too!

It looks like he got a hold of some green/purple eye shadow…

Thank goodness it was AFTER our trip to see Santa Claus…Side note: Let me explain my child’s non-holiday choice of attire. Brock REFUSED to wear anything Christmas-y- or anything that his Mama picked out to wear…I’ve learned it is NOT worth it and we took this Christmas pictures in gym shorts, t-shirt and come Chuck’s! This makes me smile, because this is totally how the weather is in Florida around Christmas…Normally shorts are preferable during December.  This was the day after the scary ER visit, so I was thankful we were taking Santa pictures and not worried about the outfit!      

Merry Christmas!

20 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 20 weeks

Size of baby: Cooper is the size of an cantaloupe (NO WAY!).

Maternity Clothes: I broke down and bought a pair of maternity jeans. The ones I had from Brock were out dated and a little big.

Gender: It’s a BOY! Cooper Jack

Movement: I've been feeling the baby kick and roll.

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good!

What I miss: The love for diet coke and caffeine.

What I love: Feeling him kick and feeling good.

Cravings: Lemons and Oranges

Symptoms: Irritability…not sure if its pregnancy, or just my miss sunshine personality!

Best Moment this week: Buying my maternity jeans and this maternity tank that I wear under EVERYTHING …

Brock’s question of the week about the baby: “Does Cooper throw up too?” This was after a nasty stomach bug that Brock got.

 

It’s amazing how much clothes conceal. Whew!!!
