An afternoon with Hadley

Hadley and Evie

Cravings

There are a few things I consistently crave with this pregnancy...

1. Chinese food

2. McDonald's double cheeseburgers

3. Reese's peanut butter cups

All very healthy of course! Thank you so much baby!

12 weeks

Well, I am trying to catch up on everything while rejoining the world. I was diagnosed with H1N1 last Sunday and was off of work this entire week. There has been lots of resting and being quarantined to my bedroom. We didn't want Mike or Hadley to get it so we kept away from each other. Luckily they made it through without getting sick. It was exactly what I had feared. I was very scared of getting this illness while pregnant and with asthma. I had to make the decision to take the meds which was also scary because they are a class c medication during pregnancy, meaning it is not for sure if they are safe or not. However, I had to get better and the doctors assured us it was the best decision. We are feeling much better today as we were able to have an ultrasound yesterday and saw the little one jumping around and looking great. I am looking forward to entering the 2nd trimester with hopefully the return of some energy and also not feeling nauseous 24/7. Just this morning I woke up and it appears that the baby wishes for the world to know he/she is around, as I am starting to look pregnant. I heard it happens sooner the 2nd time around and that appears to be the case!

Superstar

Hadley's latest favorite thing to do is play superstar. Who knows where that name came from, essentially it is playing dress up, but she gets all done up and then says "superstar", it is adorable.

Trick or Treat

Loving fall

Hadley loves the fall! She loves the leaves, throwing them in the air and helping rake. It has been a lot of fun!

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Farm

We had a fantastic day to go to the Pumpkin Farm today! We thought the weather was going to be yucky, but it turned out beautiful! Hadley got to go in a jump house, ride a horse and take a hay ride to find pumpkins, it was much fun!!!

Pregnancy

So, I have been a blog slacker as of late. That is due to one reason and one reason only, this pregnancy. My days currently consist of the following.... Wake up, go to work, struggle through the day feeling like I have the flu 24/7, get home, play with Hadley, put Hadley to bed, immediately go to bed so I can stop feeling nauseous and because I am EXHAUSTED! This is the exact same way that I was with Hadley so it shouldn't be a surprise to me, however, you quickly forget how miserable it is to feel this bad for weeks on end. I am very quickly approaching the end of the first trimester and praying with every inch of my body that this ends at the same time! So, I promise, give me a couple more weeks and I'll be back to myself again. I hope. (:

Hadley and Orion

Today Orion's parents moved their family into a new house! Orion came to spend the better part of the day with us so they could move without worrying about stepping on him! Here are some pics of our time together!

Parnell Tower

Mike and I have been going to Parnell Tower every fall to see the leaves changing for years. Hadley has been joining us the last couple. Tonight we took our annual trek up the tower to check out the leaves, we had a great time!

Day with daddy

Daddy and Hadley went back to the Lion's Den today and checked out the Lake. It was beautiful!
