It's A...

BOY!!

Yep, we are having another baby boy. The ultrasound tech seemed pretty sure about a little boy being in there. He was measuring right on target and everything looked great.

Our house is definitely going to be a little crazy with two boys running around. No name yet, still debating.

The great thing about having another boy right when Garrett was born is that I already have all the clothes I need!

We will keep you updated!

Finally Spring has sprung and Easter too...

Spring has finally found Atlanta and it has warmed up very quickly. We have went from 50 degrees to 80 degrees in just a few days. We have really enjoyed the warm up and have taken full advantage of being able to spend time outside. We made our first trip to Zoo Atlanta. Garrett loved it and he especially loved the giraffes.

He wants to ride his bicycle all the time and has recently decorated it with lots of stickers that he received for Easter. He wants to draw or sticker anything these days. Garrett has always been a talker, but lately he talks non-stop and can carry on quite a conversation with us. I don't know what will do when we have a newborn again and they can't tell us everything they need!

He is quite hard-headed and crosses his arms and tells us no several times a day :)

We are settling into life in Atlanta really well. We have grown to love Powder Springs and have recently found a church that we really like. They have a Mother's Day Out program that Garrett is starting in August and they also have a preschool that he will more than likely attend. It will be good to have a short break before the baby gets here and good for Garrett to see someone other than me all the time.

David has been busy at work, but still really enjoying the new job. Its hard to believe that he was hired one year ago on April 2nd, time really does fly.

This year was Garrett's 3rd Easter and he has celebrated Easter in three different states. Not many kids can say that! We have hidden and hunted eggs for the past 2 days and dyed eggs on Saturday, but those are mostly broken by now. Garrett is huge into dinosaurs and thinks there are baby dinos in each egg :)

Speaking of babies, we find out the sex of our baby on April 21st. I am already four months and this baby will be here before we know it. Now that I have stopped being sick, things are going very smoothly. I am already measuring right on track. Neither David or I have any idea what the baby is, so I think we will be pleasantly surprised.

We have a full month ahead of us. We are really looking forward to the Legault's coming to visit us at the end of the month and of course finding out what the baby is. David will be traveling some for work and Mom and I are hitting up the Franklin Yard Sale again. We will keep you updated with all of our adventures!

Expanding and Expecting...

This blog message is to let everyone know what we are expecting baby #2! I am officially 12 weeks on Saturday, so like with Garrett's pregnancy we waited to tell everyone about the new baby. Our due date is September 18th (10 days before Garrett's 3rd birthday), so the timing was perfect!

We found out we were expecting while still in Baltimore, so we have known for a while. This pregnancy has been quite a bit rougher than Garrett's. Morning sickness found me very early and I have been sick about every day for 6 weeks. I am definitely ready for this phase to pass and feel like a person again!

I think Garrett's a little unsure what to expect, but we have been talking about the baby and all the things we have to get and all of that. He has been saying the baby is a sister, but yesterday the baby was a brother, so who knows!

I have been to the doctor twice and everything looks great. I am using a midwife like I did with Garrett. The office and hospital are in Marietta (about 20 minutes away and more depending on traffic).

At our last visit the baby's heartrate was 170. I can definitely feel that everything comes on quicker the second time around. If you saw me you could definitely tell that I am pregnant because I look like I'm 5 months already! It should be a fun Georgia summer :)

We just wanted to share our wonderful news (I know that David was ready to tell everyone and I had to hold him back)!

We will keep you updated!

Life Catch-up

We have been so busy lately, but I finally have some time to sit down and catch everyone up on our lives. David graduated on January 20th, so no more Baltimore and being apart. It is so nice to actually see my husband every day. David started his job here in Atlanta on Monday. He picked up his work car and met everyone in the office. He is pleased to find out that he won't have to wear a suit everyday and is quickly being thrown into work. He is also finding out about the Atlanta commute. We live about 22 miles from his office and so far it hasn't been to bad.

We are quickly setting into life in Atlanta. Finding our way around and making new friends. Luckily there was another guy headed here from David's class and his wife and I have hit it off. They have a 7 month old little boy, so before long Garrett will have someone to play with.

Our house is coming together. We had a wooden fence put up last week and are bringing our dogs down very soon. It is be so nice to have everything and everyone here at last. For most of you, you know what a long journey it has been, but the end has come and we are together at last.

Of course, we still have stuff everyone and lots to unpack, but it will eventually get done :) We have decided that I am going to stay at home with Garrett. We are looking for some type of one day a week Mother's Day Out like we had in Crossville, so that he can be around other kids his age every now and then.

We are also looking forward to warmer weather, I thought Atlanta was suppose to be warm, but we have been freezing down here. It was warm on Sunday and rained all day long. I'm sure that in July, I'll be begging for cooler weather here. The other family that moved here when we did live in a swim community (unfortunely our subdivision is too small for a pool), so we have been invited to join them at there pool and they have a kids area. That will be wonderful in the summer in Hotlanta.

Last thing:
An update on Garrett
He is such a firecracker these days. It is so nice because we can have a conversation with him and he tells us what he wants or doesn't want. He is big into watching movies. When he is done watching it and comes and tells us "No watch dino movie, watch dog movie". He is big into dinosaurs and cars/trucks. Our playroom is coming together, but he would rather stay in the livingroom and play (of course!). He can say anything and can get quite emotional. Our time-out chair is used frequently. He weights 31.4 pounds and is almost too much for me to carry now. It's amazing how big he has gotten. The last time we visited David, Garrett went to his 15th state. He has been too:
Colorado
Kansas
Oklahoma
Texas
Missouri
Illinois
Indiana
Kentucky
Tennessee
Georgia
Florida
Virginia
Maryland
Delaware
New Jersey
Pennsylvania

We are a little traveled out for now, but are hoping for a nice vacation sometime this year.

That's all for now, a catch-up of our lives.

Chick-Fil-A Bowl--Tennessee vs. Virginia Tech

We went to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta on New Year's Eve. Tennessee played Virginia Tech and lost. It was an ugly game, but we had a good time. Before the game we went to FanFest and watched the team walks. Garrett got his face painted with a T and it looked too cute!

It was an ugly day in Atlanta with fog and cold temperatures. Pa, Nana, Andrew and his friend came to Atlanta to go to the game with us.

Enjoy the pictures!

Christmas Time!

I realize that I am a little late about posting our Christmas pictures, but better late than never. We have been in Atlanta and without a computer since Christmas (David has it in Baltimore).

We had a wonderful Christmas. Garrett got so much stuff. He opened presents after presents! Santa brought him a wooden train table and train set (that took David hours to set up!). Nana and Pa got him a Power Wheels jeep and he got countless other presents from books, to movies, many dinosaurs, tons of cars, a boxing set and much, much more. He helped me to decorate our tree in Georgia and helped redecorate Nana's tree.

David flew in Christmas Eve and spent 10 days with us. He is back in Baltimore till January 20th and then we will all be in Atlanta!

Not much else new, enjoy the pictures and stay warm!

Garrett's Two Year Pictures

We recently had Garrett's two year pictures made at Cumberland Mountain State Park. These are some that we got on the CD.

Enjoy!
