Kissy face

Evan is quite the kisser. He comes puckered up and ready to plant one at a moment's notice.


And then there's chocolate. He got into a bag full of Dove chocolates on Friday evening. He was hiding in the computer chair, with the chair turned so we couldn't find him. It's amazing how quiet kids can get.



On another note, I am fully into my 12th week. I go for my first visit to the perinatologist in the morning. Here's hoping for no sausage to show up early on the ultrasound. First and foremost, I want a healthy baby, but a little girl sure would be fun. Here's hoping I won't know for a while, since we knew Evan was a boy at 13 weeks.

Have a great week!

My Wild Child

Lola's been painting and therefore, there's a ladder out. As soon as I walked in the door today, Evan tried it out. There's no containing him sometimes.

There's a first time for everything...


Well this weekend has been eventful, to say the least. All I can really tell you about Saturday morning is that I woke up with my husband, my sweet Evan in tears, and three Gwinnett County firemen/paramedics in my bedroom. I haven't been feeling too great lately because of the pregnancy or meds, not sure, and my blood sugar has been difficult to keep up. I haven't wanted to eat much of anything.

Mike arrived home from work on Saturday morning and I told him my back hurt and screamed out about something. He didn't think much about it and got a shower. When he got out of the shower, I was out cold. My blood sugar dropped so low that I passed out. Luckily, I was still in bed. He ended up calling 911 and saved the dispatch call for me (what a sweet hubby, right?). So when I came to, I was a little bruised and there were guys everywhere. As I started to realize what happened, I could only think about what I was wearing and what my house looked like. Neither were good, but at least I wore pants and a t-shirt. I rejoined consciousness around 8:30 AM on Saturday, just to rush down to Philips Arena for Sesame Street Live. I bought tickets on Wednesday for Evan and me.

Here's a quick shot from our seats. I couldn't get any better pics when the characters were out because all I had was my camera phone. Evan had a good time and I highly recommend it if you aren't passed out two hours before hand and slightly dizzy.






Just so you all know, I have never passed out in the 16 years that I have been diabetic. To make it crazier, my insulin pump was completely out so I wasn't getting any insulin. Mike and the great people in Gwinnett County told me the parasite living in my tummy (baby #2) is what's killing my blood sugar. I will be talking to the doctor tomorrow.

I hope you all had a less crazy filled weekend and I hope you have a great week!

An Unforgettable Anniversary Gift

Friday was our 4 year anniversary of wedded bliss. We didn't exchange presents but Evan felt that he should give us something anyways. I came home from work on Friday and I was tired. I decided to take a short nap before Mike and I went out to dinner. I woke up to the smell of permanent marker. It was everywhere! Not only did my beautiful child tattoo himself and make some color adjustments to his clothes, but he also drew on the carpet and the bed sheets. Proof lies in the pictures below...


Carpet


at least he draws in straight lines



couldn't leave out the chair mat



the pillows I didn't have my head on



a sample of the sheets

Luckily, rubbing alcohol and a lot of patience pulls permanent marker out of carpet. By the way, no little boys named Evan were harmed after this incident. The gift was too overwhelming to say much!

Happy Monday!

Evan's Announcement

Hopefully our families have all received their picture in the mail. If not, sorry! It's finally our time to share the exciting news. I am just over 9 weeks and baby has a heartbeat! This is a change from our miscarriage 6 months ago (which I didn't post about). Please pray for a healthy baby with me. My constant nausea says it will be. Love to you all!
