IT"S A BOY!!!!

My suspicions were right, we will be adding another little boy to our family in February! We are so excited to have another boy and for Isaac to have a little brother! Boys are so special and fun! I am so happy I will be the mother of 2 boys :)
Isaac got to see the baby on the moniter at the ultrasound, but he is still to young to really understand mommy's having a baby I think. I think he will be a great big brother and he is already a great helper to me!
Last night Andy told me that he already see signs of leadership in Isaac. He tries to get other little kids to follow him and to copy what he is doing (older kids). He also, likes to line up all his little animals that go to his Noah's ark set and "talk" to them, like he bossing them around and then all the sudden he will take his arm and knock the all down!
One things we are dealing witht that is not so great is that he is pinching. He's been doing this at home to us for a while and when he does he gets a warning and if he does it again, he gets a little swat on his bum and has to sit in timeout for a minute. It has worked pretty well, and he even has gotten to the point of putting himself in timeout when he knows he's in trouble. However, yesterday I had bible study at church and when I went to pick him up at the nursery, they said "Isaac likes to pinch!" I have never gotten a negative comment about him, like ever! So I was disappointed, cause I knew it was only a matter of time. Hopefully I can teach him that he needs to keep his hands to himself. He is a very good listener and obeys pretty well, so I am not worried, it's the next child I am worried about! haha.
I didn't get any pictures the day we found out we are having a boy, but I will try and put up the ultrasound pics soon.

Apples and Pumpkins!

I love fall! So to celebrate this harvest season we headed out to a local farm today and picked some apple and pumpkins. It was great day! They had lots of tractors out hauling pumpkins and Isaac loved seeing them and kept saying "truck, truck!" Whenever they got close though he got scared and wanted to be picked up. He helped pick the apples and even picked out his very own little pumpkin. I think we got around 15-20 pounds of apples so I have lots of applesauce to make and Andy requested an apple pie....yummy!

(you can see from all these pictures that Isaac has gotten a little camera shy, everytime we want him to look he wouldn't, plus he was really tired by this time)

19 weeks

I feel allot bigger then I look in this photo! I don't think these pictures do the belly justice, cause I have definitely popped over the last 5 weeks since my last photo was taken. I am in mostly maternity clothes now and am so thankful I can wear the same stuff I had with Isaac so I don't have to buy allot. I am feeling really good! I am hungry allot and tire more easily, but other then that I am really enjoying this pregnancy. We have a doctor's appointment this Wednesday the 22nd for our big 20 week ultrasound!!! I can't believe I am almost halfway! I guess just based off of how I have been feeling I kind of think it is going to be another boy. For some reason if I was having a girl I would think I would just be feeling completely different then I did with Isaac and they have pretty much been the same, aside from a little sickness in the beginning. Only a few more days and we will know! Wow!

The house

I mentioned in a previous post that I would be put up pictures of our new place. Well, now that we have been here almost 6 months I feel like I finally have gotten some decorating done. My biggest project was painting the wood paneling in the living room. I despised this dark wood paneling, but after 3 coats of paint, I think it looks awesome! I am so happy we did it, even if it is just a rental it was well worth it.

newborn goodies

I went to Babies R us yesterday and couldn't resist getting something for the new baby. I had a %20 off coupon and a $10 giftcard so I figured it would be a good deal. This blanket is beyond soft! So warm and cuddly I can't wait to wrap up my bundle of joy in it. I also got a new slipcover for my boppy pillow.
