11 Week Belly Pic

So it begins, here I am doing belly pictures of myself again ALREADY!!! Well now that I am over the shock that I'm going to have babies a year apart, I can relax and enjoy the pregnancy :) So here is what you have been waiting for, the first belly pic. I will be posting belly pics every 2 to 3 weeks depending on how fast it grows. Also please don't mind this shirt that makes me look like a bumble bee, I wasn't thinking when I had the picture taken. Well enjoy and until 13 or 14 weeks for the next belly pic :)

Already 6 Months


Wow I can not believe my little 3lb NICU baby is 6 months old now!! Devin is weighing in now at a whopping 17 1/2 lbs. He has had no problems in that area catching up, he is a little on the shorter side though. He just does the funnest things now at 6 months just to name a few:

-Smiles with the whole mouth open.
-Giggles
-puts everything and anything in his mouth
-He coos, and grunts, and screams. He has definately discovered his little voice.


I have posted some really cute pics of him at 6 months so far, which has been like a day. I took quite a few, what can I say I love my little dude. I just have to say how grateful I am to have Devin in my life. I have an amazing supportive husband, and our little family just makes me feel whole. I love you my little "Dooders" mommy and daddy are so proud to call you our son, you have been such a fighter from the beginning. WE LOVE YOU!!! Happy 6 months.


"Belly Pics Are Coming"

So because this time I am showing alot sooner I'm going to start my belly pics alot sooner :) last time I believe I started at like 16 or 17 weeks, well not this time around instead it's 11 yikes! I just wanted to post this so you know in the next day or two to start watching for the belly pics. Talk to you all soon.

"Fruit Obsession"


Alright so I know my other posts have consisted of how sick I have been this pregnancy. Well don't worry my appetite is back, and it's an interesting one this time around. I don't crave chips, ice cream, big fat burritos, cookies etc...... nope big plates of fruit mostly, and sometimes veggies. This so far is a healthier pregnancy, as for food anyways. All I ever wanted with Devin was Ice cream from cold stone (sweet cream & strawberries) mmmmm. Don't get me wrong that still sounds good this time, but in most cases I would rather eat my plate of fruit :) I have so much more to add, I haven't been good at the blogging thing lately. It's alot to keep up when I have so much to write about Devin and this pregnancy. I get so busy I forget to write alot of it down. I promised myself I'm going to keep up and do better :) well until next time......

Bear Lake Trip


Well we made it to Bear Lake this year like usual for Labor Day. I have been in Chris's family 9 years now, and that has become a tradition. Devin had his first time in the pool, let's just say that he didn't love it. I figured the pool would be alot warmer than the lake I was wrong, I'm sure you can judge from this picture.
Or maybe it's that mommy thought it was cold lol. So then after we learned the pool wasn't very well liked, we decided to head to the lake for some sun bathing. This we learned Dev enjoyed :)
I thought this looked like a comfortable nap. So after we enjoyed our beach adventure we took Devin back to the condo for a bath in the sink :) pretty cute picture we got of him.

This trip was very relaxing and I'm so glad we got to take our little man this year. Well until the next adventure talk with you all soon.
