2 years, 24 weeks, and then some...

This past Tuesday Jesse and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. Can you believe it!? 2 years & 2 babies. Whew! I'm exhausted just typing it! :)) Anyway, we went to Lottawatta Creek for our anniversary dinner. It was DELICIOUS... but needless to say, we came home with 4 boxes of food. You always get soooo much food there, but it's so good that you don't want to waste ANY of it! We came home, rented a couple of movies, ate some of our leftovers, and that was it. Exciting, I know! 

Tuesday was also my 24 week mark! Time sure does fly. I can't believe we are over half way there already. And I can't believe how much smoother this pregnancy is going... (knock on wood). I found pictures of my pregnancy with Gabe... and my feet, oh my, do you remember how swollen my feet were? At just 20 weeks my feet looked like a Beluga whale with Gabe. I'm happy to say that this time around, I have no swelling whatsoever! WOOOO!!!! "Morning Sickness" is gone now and I'm feeling pretty good...except for the fact that my belly seemed to literally grow into a basketball overnight. I'm not just saying that either... it really did get quite big. Jesse and I both agreed that I almost look bigger now than I did at the end of my pregnancy with Gabe. However, with that being said, the Dr. says that this baby is already a pound (that was at the beginning of January)... so needless to say, this baby is going to be quite a bit bigger than Gabe... So it only makes sense that my belly would show it as well. OH well- the joys of pregnancy, right? 

Speaking of my favorite litte boy... can you all believe that he is 19 months old!? He's going to be 2 years old in just 5 months! YES, 5 months!! Where did all of that time go? He's becoming more and more independent and saying sooo many more words. His favorite thing to say right now is "There ya go!" It's so cute.. he says it for EVERYTHING. Like when I give him a drink- instead of "Thank you" it's "There ya go." haha. Another favorite thing to say? "Go to Papa's" And yes, this usually means that he in fact wants to go to Papa's house. Last night he looked at me and said "Go to Papa's?" and then ran to the door to go outside. When I tell him that we have to get ready for him to go to Papa's he will run to his room and stand at his closet to get his clothes on. haha. It's so cute! As always, Gabriel Lee LOVES bathtime still! Oh & he also loves brushing his teeth. Seriously, I think we brush our teeth at least 2-3 times a day. He absolutely LOVES it!! 

Mommy and Daddy were becoming quite tired of watching Mickey Mouse all day, everyday. So, Mommy decided to switch it up a bit! I broke out some of his Baby Einstein videos. I knew we had some that were for 12 months & up... so I thought we'd give those a try. Guess what!? He loves them!! Right now, he is standing in front of the tv watching a DVD... I believe it's the one about words around the house. He's been laughing a lot while watching it too. So Cute! 

Well, my embroidery business is up and going... kind of. I still have to launch my facebook business page, but other than that it's going pretty good. I've stayed consistently busy with orders just from posting on facebook and by word of mouth. My goal is to have things up in the shop by mid-February. I know, I know- I wanted things up there by January but that just didn't happen. So, February is the new goal! Hopefully all will go well! :))
