THOMAS

Friday my parents picked Hayden and me up for a trip to Boone to ride Thomas. Hayden was soooo excited he didn't fall asleep the night before until 11. He wore his Thomas jammies and slept with his Thomas the train figures all night.
Hayden loved feeding the animals, watching the kids in the bouncy toys, crafts, and most of all riding the train!
When they dropped us off Hayden cried when my mom told him he couldn't get back in the car and go with them. He even brought out the seriously melt your heart pouty lip. It was an absolutely wonderful day and great memories to have with Grandma and Grandpa Gee. Thanks mom and R for the fun day!!!

Yucky Vitamins

It only took 3 years 1 month and 2 weeks before we had to call poison control. Last night after Hayden was put into bed I was in the kitchen and thought I heard the clicking of a childproof bottle trying to be opened. I walked into the bathroom only to find Hayden putting the lid back on my unisom bottle. When I walked in he said "these vitamins are yucky!" So with some investigation we discovered that he ate at least one because he said they were like jelly and they are soft gel tablets.

Poision control had us monitor his heart beat and breaths per minute. They called us every hour to get the results for about 4 hours.

He is fine but was in a deep sleep. We managed to rouse him...but he was MAD.

So today we are going to relocate the pills. I guess over the sink isn't child proof enough. He can climb up about anywhere....very quietly I may add.

Bring on the dresses and hair bows..........

It's a GIRL!!!!

It's a......

we don't know yet. I had my appointment today and everything was fine. I am measuring 19 inches and should be 20, but she said she wasn't worried at all.

Our ultrasound is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:30. I will update then!!!

20 Weeks

It is hard to believe I am 20 weeks already. This little stinker will be here before we know it. I was supposed to have my appointment today, but someone went into labor....so I am going to go tomorrow. Then we hope to have an ultrasound later that day or the next day. Wonder if we will be adding a girl to the Magee clan or if the all boy birth order has rubbed off on us as well.

I will let everyone know once we find out. I also have pics to post and some catching up to do. :)

Forgot to mention

Joey just started his last class! HALLELUJAH!!! I am beyond excited. It will be so nice to have him done. He has worked his rear off and we are so proud of him.

I honestly can't remember the last time we went to bed at the same time.

He will be done mid October. It will be exciting to see where we will go from here. God always works in wonderful ways and all of our experiences over the past 9 years have made us excited to let go and see what will happen.

Winding down

The last few days have been perfect weather and we have been enjoying the cooler weather! We are winding down here and getting ready to get back into a routine. Hayden starts PDO Sept. 10th. He is going to go Mondays and Thursdays.

I am finally feeling a lot better! Still having some nasty headaches, but my Dr. told me to take a Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc pill, and they have been helping a lot! I saw the Dr. last week. I am measuring right on target. We heard the baby's heartbeat again and Hayden always looks a little puzzled, but knows what he is hearing is a heartbeat. He has noticed my growing belly. I told him the other day that there was a baby in there and he said. "let me see", and tried to look in my belly button.

When people ask him if he wants a brother or sister he always answers sister. Actually everyone thinks or just assumes we are having a girl. We can find out in 3 weeks what we are having. I can't believe I will be 20 weeks already. I still am on the fence about finding out.....but I am sure I will cave and have to find out. :)

Hayden has been BUSY! He is always keeping me on my toes. He is constantly testing and pushing the limits and our buttons. He is very spirited and strong willed. I know these character traits will serve him well in the future, but right now the are wearing me out! We are hoping that god will bless us with a more compliant child with the next one. But I guess if not, I will be broken in already so what is one more strong willed child right?

Hayden had his 3 year appointment and all was well. He weighed 30 pounds and is 3ft tall. 50% for both height and weight. He peed in a cup for a urine test (which by the way he thought was so fun I often catch him since then peeing in cups around the house), got a flu mist up his nose instead of the shot, and gave some blood for a hemoglobin test. I asked for that because I always wonder how he can survive on the little amount he eats. Turns out he is healthy and I don't need to worry.

This past weekend started with no plans, but turned into a fulfilled weekend. Saturday Uncle Johnny and Aunt Darliene came down. Hayden was sooo excited to have them here. John and Joey went fishing and the rest of us went to the mall. I have not wandered around the mall forever and we had a great time looking at the stores. Then we all went out to eat Starlite! Yummy. It was a beautiful evening to sit outside.

Sunday most of the Bellows clan stopped over. Stacy had a baby shower in town. Matt and Elaina stopped over. We went out for lunch and then stopped at the park for a while.

This weekend we are headed up to Minnesota to hang out with the Bellows family. Joey and Matt have their annual Budweiser night golf tournament. Should be a fun time. Always is.

August Randoms

Hayden and his buddy Jonathan.

Having an Ice Cream party for Hayden and Muses at Nancy's. Our neighbors are from El Salvador and had thir parents visiting for the summer. It was great chatting with them and Joey got to flex his Spanish skills. I was impressed. He kept up with them. :)

Gifts from Nancy.

Reading with his friend Kyle. I watched Kyle and his brother Bryce one morning for my babysitting co op. I had to set up the pack n play for Bryce to take a nap. To be honest it got me a little giddy to set it up in anticipation if our little one that will be here soon.
