His new kitchen

Isaac got this kitchen for Christmas and he loves it! Wanted to share a picture here of him in his monster slippers "cooking" some food!

Christmas!

Don't have time to write much but just wanted to share some pictures and say we had a very blessed Christmas this year. Isaac had a blast opening his presents and it was fun watching him!

31 weeks :)

We had our 3D ultrasound this week and finally got a few good shots of the baby :)
I'm so glad to be 31 weeks pregnant tomorrow!
I know Isaac has no idea whats going on but I talk to him about the baby coming and he gives my belly kisses and I love it.

He's going to be such a great big brother.

Giving Thanks!

I am so thankful for everything in my life! I am thankful that I will be 26 weeks pregnant tomorrow and one day closer to meeting this beautiful little boy in my belly. I'm thankful for my in laws who are so loving and wonderful to me. I don't know what I would do without them <3 I am thankful for my loving and understanding husband. I do not show him how much I appreciate him and everything he does for our family but he is wonderful. I'm sooo soo thankful for Isaac and that I am able to be a stay at home mom and spend time with him. I love watching him grow and learn and reach new milestones everyday.

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween everyone! We went trick or treating with some friends of ours the other night and Isaac had a blast. He caught on very fast to what was going on and what he needed to do to get some candy! He was so friendly to everyone and looked so cute as ELVIS!!!

What a cutie.

I love this little face <3

So sick and it's a....

Haven't posted in a very long time because I have been seriously sick with my HG from this pregnancy. It's worse this time around. I'm hoping it's going away now and I'll be able to get back into the groove of things!

We did go for our 20 week anatomy scan and we are having a BOY!!!

I think we need a bigger wagon...

Adding one more ;)

June Vacation to Virginia!

We all hopped in the Jeep and headed to Virginia to visit some family members. Isaac did well on this car ride like usual so all was well. We visited Williamsburg while there and also went to the beach! Isaac loved the water and ran right into the waves crashing on the shore. He was not afraid at all! He loved playing in the sand with his Daddy and he surprisingly didn't even try and eat any sand!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY ISAAC BROCK

First off we did a balloon release on Isaac's birthday for my due date buddy group while pregnant with him. Here is some information on that:  *Balloon release for our due date buddy. Baby Emily Paige*
Baby Emily graced the Earth for 10 short days. She was born in May of 2010 after a routine pregnancy. Aside from a small heart murmur, which the doctors said was common, she seemed perfectly healthy. When she was 2 days old, while checking on the murmur, doctors found that she had a serious heart condition called Hypo Plastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). This occurs when the left side of a baby's heart stops growing some time between 7 and 12 weeks gestation. Though measures were taken to save her life, including consideration of a heart transplant or other surgery, her heart just wasn't strong enough to hold on.

Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) affect 1 in 100 babies.

HLHS affects 1 in 6,000 babies.

Congenital heart defects are the Number 1 cause of birth defect related deaths.

This year almost 40,000 babies will be born with a congenital heart defect in the US. 4,000 of them will not live to see their first birthday

It was a beautiful thing to do and I think we will do it every year to remember Miss Emily Paige.



Isaac enjoyed his party and got a bunch of wonderful gifts and even ate his egg-free cake! Here are some pictures of him :)

Sharing a Cute Picture!!

Here is Isaac standing on his tippy toes trying to reach the keys of the piano in our living room. This was my grandmother's piano and the very one I learned to play on growing up.

Ohio trip and Easter!

We took a long road trip to Ohio to see my grandmother for her birthday and Easter. Isaac did very well on the nine hour car ride. We had such a great time visiting and going to museums and lots of other neat things. While there we also participated in The Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011 at a greenhouse in Lebannon. Isaac loved getting his Easter basket and opening up the little eggs to see what was inside! He also broke in two more teeth while on this trip and never fussed a bit. ( I think his amber necklace is working :)
