Sicker Than A Dog

Okay wow I am so so sick this pregnancy! I am definately way more sick than I was with Devin. I'm just sitting here this morning trying to do some work from home, and trying to squint at my computer through my headache. This really is the worst I have felt in a really long time. It's also not helping that Devin is deciding to revert back to a newborn, he is waking up 2 times a night right now out of nowhere. It is killing me I feel like I am getting no sleep. For those of you out there that are on a second pregnancy, or have had one please some advice would be great..... I want to say that I think Dev is just going through a growth spurt, it makes sense anyways. I mean before for over 2 months he was sleeping through the night 9 hours no problem. I don't know I guess I have to just tough it out, the 1st trimester is the worst always. I feel so good the rest of the time, atleast I did with Devin so far this isn't like my pregnancy with devin though. Well more updates to come, thanks for listening all!

"Mama Had To Have It"


Okay okay so I know pregnancy gets used as an excuse sometimes for eating whatever we want, but I REALLY wanted Mcdonald's :) So today was the first day I have felt quite nauseated and nothing I mean nothing sounded good. Well don't worry at 10:00pm tonight it hit me a Big N Tasty meal from Mcdonald's mmmm I had to have it. Well the good news is that it was as good as I was expecting, and it stayed down too thank goodness. So I had to post about my first real have to have it craving with this pregnancy. Man Mcdonald's is good but it is way better pregnant and at 10:oo at night I can vouch. Well now that my belly is full baby is in bed it's time for mama to hit the sack goodnight all!

"Watching Daddy Work"



Well let's just say so far I have taught Devin 2 main things #1 mommy is the woman in his life :) #2 We watch daddy work okay j/k (kinda). Anyhow today Chris had an itch to get rid of what we call our dirt hill in the front yard. Truthfully it is going to be a job that will take days, but he wanted to make a dent in it tonight! It really was a pretty evening and so Devin, Duke, and I decided to take a blanket and hang out while daddy worked. I had chris take a picture of all three of us watching him work :) These are the best nights just hanging with my little family, I couldn't ask for more! It was the most perfect weather and Devin loves to be outside. He will really focus in on the trees, he seems to love them. I would have to say I have a pretty happy content baby, it takes alot to ever even remotely here a cry out of him. I just have to say I love my husband, our cute little house, and most of all our baby we created. We are so blessed and grateful for all that we have, I try to never forget how lucky we really are.

"Proud Grandma"

So the hubby went to play some basketball with the guys last night. My parents decided to come over and keep me and Dev comapny. I will keep this short because the pictures are just so cute to look at! This is the first official picture I have of my mom feeding her 1st and only grandchild! I loved it so much watching her feed him, she is amazing with him I have a great mom. I didn't realize what an even better grandma she was. We love you grandma, and Devin says " thanks for feeding me" :) it was fun. Thanks for keeping me company mom and dad you are so great. Love You!!

First Time In The Highchair



Well I can't believe I feel like I am already watching my little baby grow before my eyes!! He looks soooo big in his high chair. Tonight was his first night eating at the table like a big boy with mommy and daddy. I just love these pictures, the second one down cracks me up. It's a face like "what"? You want me to do what lol.... It was the cutest, but all the rest of the pictures he is all smiles :) He just brightens my day, even when I'm feeling sick he makes it all worth it. I just realize everytime I feel miserable that this is temporary, and I can look at little Devin and see the end result. It is such an amazing feeling to know I have made and I am making these beautiful little humans. Well enjoy the Pictures (what a cutie!! )

Trying To Juggle

Alright so I was sitting here thinking how crazy life is going to get! Well I then realized that it already is :) I mean how soon we forget what morning sickness is when you see your beautiful new baby! Well I've got news for everyone it's all rushing back now and I remember. I'm just now starting to not feel well, and dividing your time with a 5 month old to boot is hard enough. You know with your first pregnancy if you were tired you slept, hungry you ate, felt lazy you could be lazy. Well no no no not this time around, what a wake up call. I have to say though, through all of it I am still so excited to meet another baby! I cannot believe that Devin will already have a sibling. Our family is just growing rapidly and we couldn't be happier. I just thought while I was laying here next to my sweet baby boy who is sleeping :) that I would write down some thoughts. I just hope I can get up without getting dizzy, that's the newest thing starting to happen with this pregnancy. I can only hope for another baby as good and easy as Devin!

I'M PREGNANT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Okay so wow I know what everyone is thinking the Duncan's are nuts! We were a little in shock when we heard that we were pregnant again!! We will have a 13 month old and a newborn wow. It will be a whole other journey in itself. Never the less now that it has all sank in a little Chris and I are very excited. We are sure hoping for a girl this time so we can have one of each. Keep your fingers crossed for us :) So I guess I will be posting about this pregnancy now to along with my little man and all the fun crazy things that he is doing. It seems crazy to think that I am going to love another baby just as much as little Devin, I know that I will and my heart will be so full of love I can't wait. You really will want to follow the Duncan's blog now because our lives are going to be loaded with chaos, but the good kind. Well mama is tired so goodnight all!
