Back again :)

Hello, once again.
We had a great Easter once again this year. We celebrated by going to church in Braintree in the morning, the dinner at Gammy's in Carver. It was especially good, especially since I dodn't have
to cook :) Donny was so great and made 10 pounds of potatoes for me since I was exhausted.

We also booked our wedding date. It's set for 8/27/2010, on a Friday night. We're getting married in Braintree and are having our reception at the Monponsett Inn in Halifax. It's really nice there and it's right on the water for some great pics.

I am almost 29 weeks pregnant! It's flying by! I'm getting big, though not as big as last time. Yet. And hopefully not :)

Kayleigh is in her big girl bed now. It's Tinkerbell. She adjusted very well to it and never gave us a problem. Next on the list is potty training and throwing out those binkies! (Yes, she still uses hers to sleep).

We went to Grampy's in Kansas for vaca on May 1st. We had a lot of fun :) Kayleigh LOVES animals. ALL animals. Even the baby goats. She fed one with a bottle. How cute is that?!

We also had a great Mother's Day. My dad sent wonderful flowers. Donny and Kayleigh let me sleep in. We went to Castle Island. It was extremely windy. We saw the airplanes and boats. Went to the park. Had a yummy ice cream. We stopped by Donny's grandparent's on the way home and celebrated there as well :)
Here's some pics :)

Some updates...

I'm really awful at this blog thing....

I have a funny story to share. Today, after food shopping, Kayleigh and I were being lazy and eating sherbert while sitting on the couch. A commercial for Gummy Vitamins came on and I said to her, "You have those." She seemed to be ignoring me so I repeated myself a few times.

Finally she looks at me with this look that she gives and says, "WHAT!!!"
I just started laughing and she say's, "What'd you say??"

Ohhh, it was just one of those priceless moments.

These are some of the reasons why I need to really keep at my blog. Or at least by a journal. I don't want to forget these moments. Kayleigh really is a character these days. Just some things come out of her mouth and I'm, like 'what!'!

She is super duper polite lately. She always says please, always says thank you. She also says bless you when you sneeze and excuse me if she needs to get by.

She is also quite dramatic as well. She has this small scrape on her knee from like last week when she fell outside. She still looks at it and complains that she needs a band-aid. She cringes when you put the band-aid near her because she doesn't want her boo-boo to hurt again.

Below are some pics. They are from Disney. (Check out my preggo belly!)

Enjoy!!!

Wow, I'm awful at keeping up a blog!

I don't really know what keeps me from blogging. I think that since Donny is still laid off, we're used to sleeping in late. I'm still working nights, so I don't get home until late. When I do get home, I just want to hop in bed!

So, we're going to Disney in less than 2 weeks! I'm so excited. I'm going to start to get Kayleigh's suitcase ready this week. She always talks about Disney! I wonder how she will be when we get there. The good news is is that I can go on rides with her, so I'm really excited about that!

Kayleigh has been aso funny lately. I have to get some video of her. She does this funny dance when it looks like she's doing the backwards running man/ moonwalk. It's literally the funniest thing ever. She knows it a riot too! She also gotten to really know what mine and Donny's name are. So when she's in a silly mood, she say in either a high funny voice or in a deep voice, our names. We say, "No, it's mommy and daddy!"

Donny really needs to stop swearing so much because that's another thing she's picking up on. She'll usually say the f word at the right time!

Kayleigh had a blast when her Grampy came to visit from Kansas. He babysat her one night and they watched Happy Feet about 5 times until 9:30pm!

Baby Donny is doing great! I had my BIG ultrasound where that check for everything. I'm now 18 weeks, 6 days. Baby Donny was estimated at a whopping 9 ounces! That's the 47th percentile. A big difference from Kayleigh who was always in at least the 90th if not 100th percentile! His heart looks great. His kidneys show no problems like Kayleigh's did. This pregnancy is so different than last! My placenta is in the front so I haven't felt too much movement yet. I thought I was doing really well at not gaining too much weight. I had only gained 6 pounds by my 16 week checkup. Ugh, I got weighed yesterday and it said I gained a whopping 6 pounds in 3 weeks! What?! I couldn't believe especially since I've been watching my weight here at home. Apparently we need a new scale. I can't wait for spring to go back to the park and just get outdoors. Go away snow!!

We're also going to visit my Dad on May 1st. That will be so fun. Kayleigh is excited to see Grampy's horses :)

Also, I received my Bachelor's degree in the mail a few days ago. I'm pretty proud of myself :)

Some new pics!

Here's my big belly taken at 12 weeks:

A few cute ones of Kayleigh:

And a cute video of Kayleigh talking about Baby Donny!

Happy New Year's Eve!

Well, it's 2:30 pm. Kayleigh is napping and I'm here blogging. I should be taking my prenatal nap ;) I think I have to work tonight. I'm supposed to call at 3 to see if they need me. I hope not. It's practically a blizzard out there! I want to stay home and snuggle on the couch.

Poor Kayleigh isn't feeling well. She has a yucky cough and has been clung to me all day. I really hope we can all just hang in tonight!

So we just got some fun news last night! Donny's dad and step-mom are taking us 3 and Donny's sister and husband and their two children to Disneyworld in Florida! I'm so excited! We're supposed to go on March 14th or 15th. We're really looking forward to going. Of course, I'm not allowed to go on any rides but it'll be fun to watch the kids enjoy themselves. I can go swimming though! I wonder if Kayleigh will be scared of all the gigantic Disney characters. I bet she will. For the Local 103 Christmas Party, there were some characters like Elmo and Clifford there, and Kayleigh wouldn't go near them!

So, all in all, we're seiked. We're Disneybound!

There goes my vow!

To keep up with posting! I've been so sick the past 2 weeks. Then there was Kayleigh's birthday, and then the Christmas holiday and parties. I was literally bedridden for almost a whole week. But I'm feeling better now except for this nasty cold that has just developed. If it's not one thing it's another, right?!

So, here's some updates with pictures. Kayleigh's birthday party was a success. Many people came and she had a lot of fun. She even helped sing along to Happy Birthday! Here's some pictures.

Kayleigh getting her cake :)

And eating it too!

DO YOU SEE THE FINE PRINT ON KAYLEIGH'S T- SHIRT?

You read it right! I'm 9 weeks! It probably seems a little early for an announcement but I've known for quite some time now and I just can't hold it in anymore. And who reads this blog anyway? LOL! Now I'll know.... ;)

Here's a pic on Kayleigh's actual birthday. She's 2!
And another of her all bundled up to go outside.
Another showing off her Christmas dress :)

And another of the Andrew's Christmas party with Emma and Adam.

Well, that's it! How's that for an update? Hope everyone had a great Christmas and will have a Happy New Years! Have a glass of wine for me!

Can I please share this?

Kayleigh is just so proud of herself when she poops in the potty, which is occasionally. I couldn't resist sharing this. Look how proud she looks!! Kayleigh sang her whole ABC's today. She's really good at it. Sometimes it's not always clear, but Donny and I understand it when she sings them. She's also starting to sing Happy Birthday!

I can't believe how time flies...

when you have children. I now have a little girl. She's not a baby anymore. I look back to when she was this anti- social, colicky infant, and I used to say, "I can't wait until she's older." It's not that I didn't love these days, I totally did, I just couldn't wait to see how her personality would change, how her looks would change, things like that.

Now that she is older, I feel like I am forgetting things about her, and I don't want that to happen. I don't want to miss ANYTHING. Here is my vow to keep updating things, actually just about everything, on this blog. Oh, and not just on this blog, but in her baby book, and in a journal, just for her, where I will write in weekly. I want to be able to have something just for Kayleigh, so I don't forget the things about her that make me happy, and even the things that don't necessarily make me happy!

Kayleigh has changed so much in the past few weeks. She speaks in small sentences, likes to sing and dance, oh, and especially loves to play blocks. Blocks, blocks and more blocks all day. She has the giant Mega Blocks set, Melissa and Doug wooden blocks, and Dora the Explorer nesting blocks. Did I ever mention that Kayleigh is obsessed with Dora and Elmo? Close runners up are Diego and Zoe. As a matter of fact we just went out and bought Sesame Street decorations for Kayleigh's upcoming second birthday party. I'm so excited for her : )

She loves to sing Happy Birthday. She calls it the "Happy Cake" song. How cute is that?! She also likes to sing the "Elmo Song." You know the song, "This is the song, la la la la, Elmo Song? La la la, la la la laa." She sounds so cute when she sings it. The other day we were at the checkout line at Target. Donny was holding Kayleigh while I was paying. She started singing the song. The cashier was like, "That's so awesome!" I, of course, was beaming! She is growing up so fast!

How can I forget how cute she is when she throws tantrums in public? That has got to be one of the best gifts of parenting. She has become quite good at throwing tantrums. Every time we pull up to a store and I turn the car off, she says, "Hand? Big Girl?" Meaning, if you put me in my stroller or shopping cart, I'm not going to be happy. On the occasions that I let her hold my hand in the store so she can be a "big girl", it doesn't usually last past the parking lot. We get in and she'll follow me and be a "good girl" for about 45 seconds, then she feels the need to touch everything and point everything out. It's cute but not when we're just trying to be in and out. Then she goes on strike and will not hold my hand. Then I have to pick her up becaue she won't move. Then she screams and kicks. You know, good times...

Halloween

I finally decided to use Donny's laptop for our picture storing. The PC just doesn't seem to want to accept the Canon software. I'll try some other time when I have more patience. So, here are our pictures from Halloween. I hope you all enjoy!

Here is Kayleigh looking not so thrilled. She was pretty scared! Here we all are. We can hardly ever seem to get a nice family photo.

Here is Kayleigh before we left.

Kayleigh was very scared on Halloween when she saw all the kids and their masks. She kept saying, "The guys!! The guys!!". Then there were the tears. Then she wouldn't let anybody hold her but me. She was refusing the wagon... but the next day she did enjoy her 1st piece of candy. She had a few M&M's. She. Loved. Them.

And I still can't attach my digital camera!

I have installed my new digital camera cd onto my PC, and yet I still can't download my pictures. Nothing comes on the screen. I'm getting really annoyed, because I have a few months worth that I need to add. And, I'd love to share Kayleigh's Halloween pictures. She was the cutest Octopus ever!
