Proud big brother!

We have an announcement...

"She will fill our lives with sunshine and our hearts with love."

Trying to give me a heart attack now, aren't ya!!??

We had a little scare earlier in the week and rushed into the doctor. We've never experienced anything like this before and thankfully I was able to see the doctor right away. It was only fours hours of waiting but when you're waiting to hear the news of losing a baby or just experiencing a little bump in the road every minute might as well last an eternity. It's safe to assume Matt and I stopped breathing while awaiting the news. Especially when the all too perky nurse tells me over the phone, "Oh, you're ONLY 11 weeks. That's still early." What the heck is a frazzled, freaked out mama supposed to do with that comment!!?? Was she trying to prepare me for the worst? Clearly she doesn't know me at all...I always jump to the worst possible scenario and her words were only helping send my already pounding heart into a full on marathon! You could literally see my heart pounding out of my chest...People, I don't make this stuff up just for an interesting read!! :) When we arrive Nurse Perky Pants takes my blood pressure and says, "WOW!! That's really high!" Wellllll.....DUHHH!! Does she not remember why we are here!!!!?? Finally the doctor arrives (seriously why does it take them so long to come back after they ask you to get into your birthday suit!!? If they are going to make you wait while they grab a snack at least turn the heater on!!) She does the ultra sound and quickly says, "Baby looks good, there's the heartbeat. Here, let's show Dad!" She turns the monitor towards Matt...really!! How about showing the poor lady laying in a "gown" no thicker than a single ply of toilet paper about to have a heart attack...remember my high blood pressure!? I'm no doctor but that can't be good for the baby?! Finally she turns the monitor towards me and the "I've had too much caffeine for my own good and just can't seem to keep my thoughts to myself" nurse announces, "Whoa! That's a big baby!!" Great...get the epidural ready!
Yesterday was my set appointment, so Mee-Maw and Easton came. I was hoping they'd get to see my giant baby on the ultrasound but they just let us hear the heartbeat for the first time. After Monday's madness, it was sweet music to my ears!! 11 weeks down...29 to go!

Dear Little Wagoner Baby...
I was so happy to see your little face and hear your strong heartbeat. You've grown soooo much. You no longer look like a lima bean...you look like a baby!! Your big brother was so happy to hear your heartbeat, as he says, "Go Boom, Boom, Boom!" Keep up the good work. Thank you for easing up on the morning sickness and heartburn! See you in four weeks!
Love you so much, my little sprout!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Buzz Lightyear & Friends!

Pumpkin-heads!

My sweet boy...

While pondering the news that he is going to be a big brother Easton has had lots of questions...
Here is a little conversation we had the other night while getting ready for bed...
Easton: "When is the doctor going to get the baby out of your tummy?"
Me: "The baby can't come out until it gets bigger and stronger, so it won't be here for a long time."
Easton: "Will it hurt you when the doctor takes the baby out?"
Me: "It will hurt a little but I'll be okay."
Easton: "Will it hurt a big much or a tiny much?" (gestering his hands reflecting the different amounts of pain.)
Me: "A tiny much."
Easton: "It's okay Mom, don't worry, I'll be right next to you!"

Sniff, Sniff, He's going to be such a great big brother!!

Matt's Birthday Present...

I've been patiently waiting to share with everyone what I gave Matt for his birthday 2 weeks ago...

We had our first Doctor's appointment today & are beyond, beyond, beyond excited that we have a little lima bean on the way!! Coming your way June 2010!!

Disneyland!

On my birthday Matt had work and school and wouldn't be home til late, so my mom and I decided to take Easton to Disneyland. He is going through a Mickey Mouse/Toy Story phase at the moment and I thought now would be the perfect time to go. We had a blast! It was not crowded one bit. We literally walked on to every ride. Easton even rode Big Thunder Mountain!

Easton Met Woody!! Easton is PETRIFIED of these sorts of people in costumes (can you really blame him? I am 5' 8" and look how much taller Woody is than me! HUGE!). He generally admires them from a safe distance away. Any closer and he absolutely loses it! BUT...being that he is quite obessesed with all things Toy Story I knew this would be worth the potential meltdown.

As you can see he did great...

he later even talked to Woody and gave him a hi-five!

Calling Daddy to tell him he took a picture with Woody...

"Daddy! He was this BIG!!"
Shooting Aliens with Mee-Maw...Bonding at it's best!!
He later said this was his favorite ride.
Disneyland has the CUTEST pumpkins!

Posing with Jack Pumpkinhead.

Stopping to give Mama some birthday love!

Stopping to call Katelyn...This child will speak to no one on the phone...except for his beloved Katelyn! It's hilarious!

Spinning on the Tea-Cups...Also a favorite!

"Enjoying" the Roger Rabbit Ride...This picture cracks me up!

Flying on Dumbo with Mee-Maw...He also like this one because it wasn't "dark and scary" like the Haunted Mansion.

Thanks for a fun day Mee-Maw!!

Not exactly the looking I was hoping for...

Don't you love when you want to take a cute picture and instead of smiling your child tells you, "I wanna make a mean face."??!

He's a keeper!

Last week I was totally bummed that Matt would not get to spend my birthday (my golden birthday no less!! 29 on the 29th!) with me because of work and school, which can't be helped, naturally and on top of it I was sad because we wouldn't even get to spend the weekend together because I had to work on Saturday and he had a school function on Sunday. It was going 3+ weeks since we've had a day off together...Seriously our life is pure chaos at the moment. As you can imagine I was not a happy girl when I went to work on Saturday. However, when I got home from work Saturday these bee-utiful flowers along with birthday cards were awaiting me. That sneaky husband of mine surprised me with an overnight date at the beach (oh-la-la!) We left Sunday morning, dropped Easton off at Grandma & Grandpa's. We throughly enjoyed our time together. It was soooooooooooo nice to reconnect and just do nothing together.
