Catching up!

I have been a major slacker her lately and for the I apologize but when you are growing one baby and trying to raise another it pretty much takes all I have to get my head off the pillow let alone think about blogging. That being said things are going great in the Wood household, baby number is 2 is just growing and we find out in 2 short weeks if this little one is a boy or a girl!

Charlie is still his 2 year old self running around and being crazy just enjoying the carefree life he leads. He really has transitioned from baby stage into big boy and it makes me sad but he still has his moments where he will let me rock and cuddle with him right before he goes to be and I treasure every second of this time with him since I know here soon I will have two little one to learn how to juggle!

Big news for Josh, he started his new job today with Freightliner and we are both so excited for this new opportunity that has been given to us. He is also turning the big 3-0 in 2 weeks so needless to say it will be a big two weeks for him. New Job, we find out what the baby is and he turns 30!

As for me I am just trudging along with this pregnancy. The sickness is gone but now the headaches have set in, it looks like I just trade one for the other. I am still tired but I guess I better get us to being tired all the time because I have a feeling when there are two little ones that need me rest will be hard to come by. So far all reports from the doctor have come back great, I was there on Friday and this baby is competing with his or her brother for fastest heartbeat, at a steady 168 beats per minute s/he is giving Charlie a run for his money. I am hoping to get better at blogging but no promises as July looks to be another busy month!

Here is the link to the slide show of pictures from Charlies portraits that we had taken a few weeks ago. If you are so inclined you can check them out and see how incredibly wonderful they are http://animoto.com/play/4XV3Z9tIv39RuIm8yB2HNg?utm_content=main_link&utm_source=share&utm_campaign=animoto&utm_medium=email. I hope you enjoy, it looks like I am going to have a hard time picking just a few to have printed.

Sneak Peek!

Last Thursday I finally had some professional pictures of Charlie taken by Heather Swanner. I have been wanting to do them for a long while but it just never seemed to work out so I finally made an appointment back in January to have his pictures taken just after he turned 2! If you would like a sneak peek you can check out her blog at http://www.heatherswannerphotography.com/blog/. I am so thrilled with how they turned out and can't wait to see the rest, the only problem is I might have a very hard time picking the ones I want!

Charlie is 2!

So I know this is a bit delayed but things have been busy and I am so tired at night I can't even think of pulling my thought together enough to post on the blog!

As everyone may know our little guy turned 2 on May 14 and we celebrated this wonderful day with a party on May 15, the theme this year was "Dump Trucks". We had friends and family over to celebrate with cake, snacks and water fun in the back yard! The cake was absolutely amazing and I am so thankful to my mother-in-law for taking care of it for me! My mom of course was in charge of his outfit for the even, well at least most of it, she smocked and insert for a t-shirt with dump trucks on it and I was in charge of making the shorts. Sadly I do not have any pictures of him in his outfit because after getting dressed he promptly fell into the kiddie pool and was drenched so we quickly changed into his bathing suit.

I think the party was a hit Charlie had fun playing with his friends and the adults were able to have great conversation while the kids entertained themselves. Happy Birthday to my Big Boy he is no longer a baby anymore!

Last Thursday he went to see Dr. Joe for his check up and he is growing great and doing all the things a two year old little boy should do. He is weighing in at 27lbs and is 35 1/2 inches tall, this is a far cry from where he was last year, he gained a little over 10 lbs this year! He was more aware of the fact that he was at the doctor this time and was not to happy with it but he will survive. At this appointment we were also able to remove one of the tubes but the second one was a little more stubborn and we had a very unhappy little boy so we decided to just leave it and would check later to see if it was still in there or had fallen out on its own. I still can't believe it has been two years since this little guy came into our lives and changed us forever and we are so very excited to continue to watch him grow and see how he will adjust to his biggest role yet as Big Brother!

The Amazing Cake!

Crazy Dancing!

Our little guy loves to Dance and I caught him in action the other night. While we were getting dinner ready he was jamming out to some "Crazy Women". His rhythem isn't the greatest but he really doesn't care and just has a down right great time!

December 12, 2010!

Yesterday Josh and I headed to visit Dr. Stone for our first appointment and our first glimpse at Itty Bitty. Before we even met with Dr. S we had and ultrasound and got to see Itty Bitty, I was so happy to finally be able to see that little flicker on the screen and be reassured that there indeed was a new life growing inside my belly. The U/S tech measured the baby and showed that based on size I was 8 weeks 1 day and that moved my due date to 12/12/10. We then met with Dr. S who was very excited for us, we had the normal first appointment talk about how thing would work from here on out as far as appointments go. We also discussed induction and he said we would most likely do the same thing as last time and the baby would be likely a week early unless of course Itty Bitty has other plans. I go back in 4 weeks and will get to hear that wonderful heartbeat again, which is the best thing in the world.

Josh, Charlie and I are still ecstatic and can't wait to find out who we will be welcoming to our family in December, will it be Pink or Blue? I guess we will have to wait for at least another 10 weeks before we find that out though, either way we will be thrilled!

Loving Outside!

This time of year is so wonderful, Charlie is loving the change of scenery and he is loving all the new toys he gets to play with now that he can run around and enjoy the warmer weather. I am sure here in a few weeks he is going to love it even more when we can pull out the water toys and go to the pool.

He love this Mower!

Checking on the bubbles!
He is such a big boy!

Hey Mommy!

Loving the little feet!
