1st Official Belly Pic

Here's the bump.... Seems like it is bigger than it should be, but with this being number 2, I guess that is what happens. :) Here I am this time around:And, last time, at the same point in my pregnancy...
More to come in the future. We are going to try to be diligent in taking pictures along the way to document baby #2 as well as we did with Little Buddy. Wish us luck!

In Case You Haven't Heard....

Little Buddy is gonna be a Big Brother.
I know most people probably already know this. I have "announced" it at MOPS, Bible study, on Facebook, etc. But, just in case you haven't quite gotten the scoop... We are adding baby #2 to our little family sometime in October, God willing.
We are excited and a bit nervous, too. I get choked up and teary-eyed each time I think about Little Buddy ever feeling left out or "replaced". Of course, there is no way on earth we would ever want to replace him. But, I do fear that, after having 100% of the limelight from his family members (he's the only grandson, nephew, son, etc.) and lots of attention from friends, he'll have a really rough time sharing the spotlight. My heart breaks just thinking of having to tell him that I can't play with him or read to him "because mommy has to do XYZ for the baby". I never want to crush his little heart. I love him soooo much. I pray he enjoys being "mommy's big helper" and that he loves his sibling as much as I love my sweet Little Buddy.
So, that's our story!

Wonderful Weekend

I had the most wonderful weekend. I truly am blessed to have the amazing friends, husband and family that I have...If it weren't for them, the weekend wouldn't have been possible.
My best friend came to visit and we went to a lovely resort for the weekend. Her precious little boy came, too, and he hung out with Little Buddy at the "baby spa" most of the weekend, too. Amy and I relaxed by the pool, went down the water slide (like we were kids again), did the hot tub thing, ordered food poolside, had fun drinks, got amazing spa treatments and best of all... just got to hang out together. Of course, as it always does, the time went by too quickly. We made more hilarious memories because "it is always an adventure when we get together". Thanks to Amy for flying out with her sweet little boy and thanks to her hubby who made it all happen and who gave up his wife and precious boy for the weekend. Thanks, too, to my hubby, my in-laws, and Bobbie for making the child-care part of the equation run so smoothly. We were definitely spoiled! Now, we want to have a girls' weekend at least once a year... resort or not. The time together was truly the most cherished part. But, I'm certainly not complaining about the view from our suite,the breakfast (and dinner) in bed, super comfy beds, that "interesting" massage, or the pedicure.
What a wonderful weekend~!!
