This past weekend was nice. One of my oldest friends threw me a baby shower! Isaac surely has all the bog things he needs now and we have a few more weeks to get the small stuff. I am very blessed for the few but awesome friends and family we have.
Yesterday, was my 33 week checkup. Despite the headaches and rising BP the doc wasn't concerned. The BP is not high by her standards, I'm not swollen, and she claims the headaches are just pregnancy headaches. She is suddenly concerned that the last sono (2 MONTHS AGO) was still measuring me 2 weeks small (as I did w/ Lexi). Then she springs on me that they couldn't see an outlet for Isaac's heart on the last sono (AGAIN, 2 MONTHS AGO!!!!!!!!!). Um, why wasn't I made aware of this????? So, she's sending me to Maternal and Fetal Medicine. Then she tells me NOT to be concerned. REALLY??? YOU are concerned enough to send me to a high-risk doctor rather than the regular ultrasound techs, withheld info from me for 2 months, but I SHOULDN'T be concerned???? Not only am I concerned, I'm angry!!!!!!! I held it together pretty well, only because Ed and Lexi were w/ me and the hubby gets nervous when it comes to things like this. I looked at him, could instantly tell he was worried and trying to hold it together for me, and I couldn't flip out and have him worried about me as well. Last night, when it was just us, he looked at me and said, "I just don't think anything is wrong. I believe he's going to be okay." And how could I answer? I firmly believe if God brought us to it, He'll get us through it!!
I called the place yesterday when I got home from the doctor's office. I was upset to learn that they shut their phones off at 4PM. The answering service was quick to explain that their office doesn't neccessarily close at 4 but they turn their phones off at 4. What kind of crap is that???? Another stressor. Anywho, they open in an hr and 15 mins and I will be calling. I'm eager to see just what is going on with our little Isaac guy.

Travis turns 3!
It's hard to believe Travis is now 3. Time really does fly once babies become mobile in my opinion. Sometimes it's hard to realize when you are feeding and changing every 3 hrs. as a newborn. Travis has such a unique personality! He just rolls with the punches so to speak. He definitely gets that from his daddy. I tend to stress and worry over everything. Travis even walks like daddy! He had a Mickey Mouse party 5 days before he actually turned 3. He had a ball! We bought him a 12'' bike w/ training wheels and a plastic outdoor grill. For the first time ever, I believe our presents were a hit! He loved his bike and he plays with that grill everyday!! I am always disappointed when we buy things that we expect our kids will love and they barely use them. But this time? I think we got it! Travis was very into his Mickey Mouse cake that Grandma and Pop Pop made him. I confess, he had 4 pieces for the occasion. You see, Travis had been sick for 2 weeks prior and all he was talking about was that cake! So I let him have his cake, lol!!

Father's Day 2011
Eddie had some cute moments for his Daddy on daddy's big day. He woke his father up to give him a card. "Happy Father's Day, daddy! What did you get me?"
Later in the evening he asked Ed when is "Kid's Day?" We explained that the closest thing is a birthday, lol.
Eddie saw a commercial where a father and son were sharing a soda and then a bottled water. He promptly went into the kitchen and got himself, Travis, Alexis, and daddy a bottled water and they cheered to a Happy Father's Day.

Thoughts/Comments of my Boys
Eddie asked me the other day if I would bake him cookies when he went to college. Teary eyed, I replied that he didn't have to leave home to attend college! And yes I would bake him cookies.
On Mother's Day, Travis came into my bed and we were cuddling. I said, "I love you Travis." His reply? "Thank you."
A few days ago Travis was again, cuddling with me. I commented that I could squeeze on him all day. His reply? "Get off Mom."
The kids were over Grandma & Pop Pop's for my ultrasound appt. We called Eddie to let him know we were expecting a boy. His reply? "Dang, I wanted a girl."
LOL I love these kids so much. Lexi is talking more everyday and I can't wait to post her funny comments!

Newest Addition will be a....
We got our 21.5 week sonogram today and it showed that we are expecting another...BOY!! Everything looks good, and Isaac looks healthy! I think we were pulling for another girl to even up our family. But we are incredibly happy. I have to admit that I think Lexi will be one spoiled little girl. Especially because we know this will be our last baby. But we are enjoying it and all the blessings He has provided.

Cute happenings
The kids are doing so many cute things that I'm going to jot them down while my memory lasts, lol.
Recently, I took Lexi in my cart and shopped at the Walmart while Ed took the boys to look at "guy stuff." No, the following behavior wasn't cute but it is note worthy. I placed a mop in my cart. Lexi promptly pulls it so it is mostly in her little area up front, despite the fact that it is larger than she is. Next thing I know she is swinging it and telling people to "MOVE!" The little old ladies were laughing at her?! I was horrified. I doubt they would have found it amusing if she hit them with it!
During bedtime prayers, Eddie prayed that Jesus would give us 2 girl babies in my belly. Cute? Sure! Then he follows it with, "Jesus, one day when you are ready I will come to live with you in your cave." At first I thought he said "cage" and let it go for the night. When I repeated the story to my cousin, she asked if he meant cave? So, I asked him what he told Jesus last night. He repeated the story and clearly stated cave. It was then that I realized he was talking about the tomb and I explained that when Jesus rose he did not stay in the tomb/cave.
Travis is doing this cute squinty face thing when praying. He and Lexi both love to repeat grace about 10 times (not kidding) during dinner. In an effort to get Travis to talk more, I've asked him to start saying it. He lifts his face upward, squints his eyes, pukers his lips and remains silent, eventually he says, "EAT!"
Eddie and Travis were wrestling on the floor, literally rolling around when Lexi picked up the broom and started beating them with it, yelling "GET!" The boys then started yelling at me to make her stop (all the while still rolling around fighting). I'll admit it....I was laughing so hard that tears were coming down my face and I couldn't make her stop for a few minutes.
Today, after church Eddie tells me he received 2 scratches. I asked him what that meant. He said, "You know? My names on the board with 2 scratches next to it." I said, "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" His response was, "A good thing Mom. My friend was telling me secrets." I then clarified for him that it was not a good thing as he was not supposed to be talking in Sunday school but following his teachers instructions.

I'm Better!
One of my reasons for starting a blog was so I could jot down or document the cute random things the kids say or do. I enjoy scrapbooking as well but have fell very far behind. I'm finding it impossible to document the wonderful things that pop up from my little ones every day b/c there are just too many. Here's one recent one from Eddie.
We recently took a trip to visit friends in NC. My Goddaughter, who happens to be Eddie's "girlfriend" had some of her friends over, a few girls that are their same age (5). As kids often do, she decided she didn't want to play w/ Eddie anymore and his feelings were hurt. In fact, he's still talking about it...daily. Last night, he cuddled up to Daddy and told him that he was not playing with Kirra anymore. His quote, "I not playing with Kirra anymore. She thinks her friends are better than me! But their not! I better!" Ed and I both smiled and hugged him and assured him that he is totally awesome!
Also, just to note. If you ask Travis what his name is, he replies, "Eddie." It drives Eddie crazy and I'm 95% sure that's why Travis does it. If you ask Travis how old he is, he replies "8" (He's 2). If he doesn't know your name, you are automatically called, "Pete." We are not sure if this is from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Toy Story 2, which are both his favs, btw.
Lexi loves keeping up with and beating on her brothers! Her fav thing to say at the moment is, "EW!"
