Rewind...

I think Cameron's shirt says it all. On October 5th, we got the positive test we had been waiting on for 4 months. The day was bitter sweet. I waited to test on that day because it was also the 15 year anniversary of my mother's passing. I figured it would make the day better or just as crappy. Turns out it turned out to be a GREAT day. After trying without success, we FINALLY discovered we will have another bundle of joy. I tested in the morning and had to wait ALL day to tell Michael. About 5 p.m. I put Cameron in his Big Brother shirt I had purchased several months earlier. We waited impatiently for Michael to come home. Michael came in and Cameron ran up to him. Michael said "Is that a new shirt?" and then realized "Really?" I told him that I had tested earlier and the test was positive. We are both really excited!

We are now almost 10 weeks and due on June 13th. We have opted to have another c-section and hopefully will go in the week of June 7th to deliver.

Cameron goes back and forth on whether he wants a baby brother or sister. We know he will be a fabulous big brother to a baby brother or sister.

I have had morning sickness from morning until night which is VERY different from my pregnancy with Cameron. In addition I am finally getting over a sinus infection of some sort which has made life the last 4-5 weeks almost unbearable.

We were able to tell our families last week and everyone is very excited.

We'll keep you posted on our progress. Any guesses on boy or girl?????

Best of intentions

While I always tell myself that I will get better with updating the blog, it always seems like it is about a month before it happens again. Here's the few weeks. More to come soon. Enjoy!

10/25 ~ Michael and I joined some friends at the Texans game against San Fransisco 49ers. We had a great time. The Bush's attended and we did not sit far from them. It was Honor the Military day and they did an outstanding job.




10/21 ~ First Pumpkin Patch.
I found one...


Or maybe this one...






Nope, this one...


Finally, he settled on this one while daddy picked out one a little bigger.





Such a handsome little boy at his first pumpkin patch!




10/19 ~ Michael came home for dinner this evening. While home he enjoyed teaching Cameron how to balance a spoon on his nose.



10/17 ~ Ma and Eliseo, my grandparents, came down for our neighborhood garage sale. Here Ma is showing Cameron how to hit his knee so the reflex makes it "jump," Cameron reading his new English/Spanish book, and laying down watching television with Eliseo. We had a great time over the weekend.



10/11 ~ Cameron and Mark in their hockey helmets.






10/11 ~ "Out with the old and in with the new" Cameron said good-bye and gave a thumbs up as he got rid of his toddler bed. Here Cameron is helping Michael put together his new bed. He had the hammer in one hand and the donut holes in the other hand. Notice he handed over the donut holes rather than the hammer. A boy serious about his work! He also helped dad put up his curtain rod and new curtain. He's growing up.










10/10 ~ Cameron being his silly self after a bath, helping mom make jell-o, and posing with the chapstick and mommy's school lanyard. Do I see coach in his future? We'll have to have a talk if he even thinks about it!



10/8 ~ Normally I am the one with the camera. This particular morning Cameron got the camera and was taking pics of Michael when he turned the tables. Pardon the messy closet!
