Corey's B-Day

I thought that I had posted some pictures of my nephew's 2nd birtday party, but I realized that was my sister-in-law who is so good at posting. This is one of my favorite pictures of Corey. This face fits him perfectly because he gets so excited over everything. When he sees Neil and I, he runs to us, gives us big hugs and then is off to find something else to get excited about. He's such a cool kid.


Look at these cuties! Neil and Elena are becoming best buddies. Elena already has her uncle wrapped around her little finger. He'll do just about anything for her!

This is Katelyn and Elena. These are two out of three of my nieces on my side. My other niece, Kyla is around, but she's too busy to stop for a picture, especially when their is a yard full of your cousins' toys to play with!

Corey wasn't concerned about anything while he was eating his cake. He didn't care that I took several pictures of him and kept distracting him or that he had cake all over his mouth and hands. As usually he's enjoying one of life's sweet moments...birthday cake.

I know it was Corey's birthday, but Elena needed to sit in Corey's new chair. She had to have a little help sitting in it or she would have toppled over, but couldn't you just eat her up???

Picture of "the bump"

This picture is for my brother, Jonathan. He asked to SEE a picture of the "baby bump" from my previous post. He won't tell you because he tries to be tough, but I think he's a bit excited about being Uncle Jaja again.

Disclaimer - This is after a long day of work and I just woke up from an hour nap!

It's Official...I have a BABY BUMP!

Okay...at almost 15 weeks, I finally have somewhat of a baby bump! Last Thursday I went to bed and woke up and couldn't fit into my pants! I have been anxiously awaiting to be able to show that I am expecting and then when I did I cried. Happy tears for a minute and then worried tears because I had nothing to wear to work. My bump is not noticeable to the average person, just to those who have been waiting to see a little pooch. I never thought people would be so excited about me gaining a little belly, it's been a lot of fun! Thanks to a friend from work, I have several maternity pants and shirts to wear, however, they're still too big. My pants are too small. I broke down and bought the next biggest size pants to wear for the next few weeks.

Neil and I went to the doctor for our 14 week check up and everything was GREAT! The baby's heartbeat was steady and strong! I go back when I'm 18 weeks and they have scheduled for us to find out the gender of the baby around 20 weeks, which is towards the end of October for those who are counting!
