Our little Thickburger

Is 13 pounds at 2 months old--that's a 1.5 pounds heavier than her sister at the same age. She sure is a cutie patootie. I guess now we have a padunkadunk and a padinkadink :)

Over the river and through the woods

To grandmothers house we go!! Our first road trip since Isley was born and we're going to Asheville for Thanksgiving-yay!! We will try to fit all but the kitchen sink in the Element, plus Bear--it will probably be a National Lampoon's event, but it will be fun nonetheless :)

Election Day

How scary is that!?!?

Go McCain/Palin!!

It's been a while

And have I been busy trying to keep my littlest alive. Lily loves her little so much, she just wants to squeeze her to death--I guess gentleness will come in time??? :)

Life with 2 babes is awesome. Isley is so sweet--she smiles all the time and Lily is such a great, helpful big sister. It's been a little hectic, but we're starting to get in the swing of things. Let's try for a third........ha, ha, ha--yea, right!!!

Ok let's go!

Tomorrow is our due date. I thought 2nd babies came quicker than 1st babies?!?! Lily was born on her due date-went into labor the day before. Isley is due tomorrow and I feel great, so I don't think labor is approaching anytime soon.
Oh well--at least this gives Lily more time being the only child, huh? :)

Top 10 part 8

Things that pregnant women get tired of hearing or that you shouldn't say to a pregnant women-in no particular order-

10) You're not as big as the last time--yea, this doesn't make me feel any better.
9) You shouldn't be so grumpy (or anything to this affect)--you can tell me that when you're not leaking from every place you could think of and can breathe ok and get around independantly.
8) You sure you're not having twins or you sure aren't that big--either way makes us think something is wrong with us.
7) Calm down, it's just your hormones--no, you pissed me off and I can express that just like you can-pregnancy has nothing to do with it.
6) You must be hot being pregnant in the summertime--this just gets old. It's hot-everyone is hot in the summertime-being pregnant just elevates your temperature a little.
5) Any response other than Congratulations when we tell people we are pregnant is not needed.
4) Are you sad your first won't remember being the only child?-why would I want to think about that first of all, and secondly, the second child will never know either, so what's the difference??
3) Are you sure you don't want to try for a boy?--when I say we're done after this one, I'm not trying to get a response out of you.
2) Are you going to breastfeed?--is that any of a strangers business?
1) If you're a creepy old man, please don't rub my belly. Thanks :)

The final stages of pregnancy

We are due in 18 days and I could not be more ready. I miss being able to see my feet; I miss getting up and down independantly; I miss not sweating from just walking across the room; I miss breathing normal; I miss sexy time with my wonderful husband; I miss being able to shave independantly; I miss not leaking from everywhere you could imagine; I miss my clothes; I miss walking normal; I miss running around with my toddler; I miss regular panties; I miss brushing my teeth and my gums not bleeding; I miss painting my toenails; I miss Starbucks :)

Yep, it's official--

Lily's a big girl. We moved her into her "big girl" room last week and she loves it :) She sleeps in her "big girl bed" so well and stays there until we get her in the morning.
She's grown :(

Wedding Crashers

Hubby and I went to a wedding last night--some friends of ours that the groom was actually in our wedding. We had so much fun watching people--you know, the girl that can dance, so she does to every song just to prove it and then the girl who does it too just b/c the girl that can dance is--and then grandma and grandpa getting their grove on. Oh, and then there's sitting at a table with strangers--awkward silences and then a pair that knows one another talks about the same person and their MySpace page--good times. We really enjoyed ourselves--they are great people with wonderful families--we had a wonderful time :)
Hey-we got to see just how one does the "Superman"--hmmmmmmmm, always wondered.

My little groupie

All weekend, Lily was right under my feet--following me wherever I went and wanted to do everything I did. She's so cute.
I have a groupie :)

He must love us

He actually came back from the beach. He came back from rest, relaxation, golf, adult beverages, the ocean and a football for what? A daughter that wouldn't pay him any attention when he got home, a dog that is a nuisance and a big, fat, pregnant wife that is completely unattactive at the moment--bless his heart, Eddie must really love us :)

It's Ladies Weekend

The husband is off to the beach with a buddy for golf and relaxation (I wonder when I'll get a weekend like that minus the golf-hmmmmmm???) It will be just me and Lily all weekend. Pool, naps and maybe the park-oh my!! :)
Have fun Daddy!!

Squash and Zucchini-Oh My!!

I feel like Bubba Gump-but with Squash and Zucchini. We are overloaded with it--squash casserole, zucchini bread, fried squash/zucchini, grilled squash/zucchini, sauteed squash/zucchini-I mean, how many ways can you cook it and how long can one possibly eat it?

Beach babe

We took our 19 month old daughter to the beach for a long weekend last weekend. She ended up having a blast, but it took a little time. When we first showed her the ocean, she kind of smiled but didn't want to be put down. When you got her in the ocean, she wasn't having it--we ended up setting up the pool. The last day we were there, we went back to the ocean and she LOVED it. She swam like an alligator in the little pools the ocean makes and was trying to put her head in it--she was so cute and happy. Now she has a little tan with her blond hair and blue eyes--daddy, get your gun cleaned :)

Redemption Song

Not only has the husband painted and finished our daughters' bathroom, he also fixed the toilet in the downstairs bathroom that's been out of commission for 2 months--woo hoo!!! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it-I'm about to loose control and I think I like it.

Top 10 part 7

Wow have my preggo cravings changed. Top 10 of what I'm craving now:

10) Popcorn shrimp and hushpuppies
9) Chili dogs
8) Cheeseburger with chili and slaw-I've never had this in my life but it looks good
7) Still craving mother in laws macoroni salad.
6) Mother in laws spanish steak, mac n cheese and slaw
5) Watermelon-at least there's one bit of healthy on this list.
4) My Nana's potato salad and chicken salad-not really sure when I'll get these since she lives 2.5 hours away.
3) Tomato sandwich-I really wish my tomatoes would grow and turn red.
2) Ketchup-preferably on #9 and #8
1) Bloody Mary

Labor of Love

I love my husband.

I decided that it's time to get going on painting our upstairs. We went and bought paint for our daughters' bathroom Sunday and we decided that we would both tackle this job throughout this week. Well, I got home yesterday and the first coat was already on it. He said that he got to doing it and it was pretty fumey, so he just decided to finish it since I was pregnant and didn't need to be around the fumes--what a sweetie pie :)

Welcome to Adulthood

My wonderful husband just bought his first car on his own, using his own credit and without my help at all. He got a great deal and what he wanted on it and he's saving our family money. I'm so proud of him.

Now if I can only get him to fix our toilet.....hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Jesus Loves Me

and I don't have to forward that email to prove it, so quit sending them to me.

I really despise getting those emails.

Xnay on the Mr. Fixitnay

I thought I married Mr. Fix it--who I married was Mr. Procrastinator and Mr. Let's beat around the bush. Do I need to call a Plummer?? It's been a month and a half since my downstairs toilet has been leaking and about 2 weeks since it's out of commission. Do I need the exercise of going upstairs to pee? Yes. Do I want to? No--I'm pregnant and it wares me out.
Men (there was a big sigh there in case you couldn't hear it)
