Its A GIRL!!!

We found out on January 27th that we are having a baby girl. We are so excited. Well I am really excited, I think Trey is a little worried about having a girl to take care of. I know he is so worried about this little girl having him wrapped around his little finger. LOL. Everything about her looked great on the sono. She is measuring in at 10 oz which is where she needs to be. She was being very stubborn during the sono and not wanting to turn over. Image that another one of our children stubborn. I dont know where they get it from. So I am half way there. It is going so fast. Chasing after a 2 year old doesnt give you much time to think about it. Cooper, now when you say where is the baby he points to my belly. It is so sweet. He is going to be a great big brother.

Great Friends

This past weekend I took a quick trip down to houston to go see Kristi and her new house. Ashley and I drove down together saturday and hung out with her and of course did some shopping and eat at cheesecake factory to celebrate her bday. I miss having her around all the time but at least when we do get to see each other it makes it that much more special.

Two weekends ago Trey and I worked our tails off to get Cooper's big boy room ready for him to sleep in. We first went shopping and got his furniture, which will not be in until Fed 10th or so. Then got some paint and got busy. His room is going to be done in airplanes so we painted the walls blue for the sky. I am attempting at the time to find someone to come and paint an airplane mural on the wall. We got it ready and Cooper slept in his big boy room for the first time last wednesday night. He did ok i guess. I had to lay in there with him until he feel alseep and then he slept good until 2am and then woke up crying, so to our bed he came. That has been about what he does everynight so far. We have been trying not to bring him to our bed and just lay down with him so that he gets used to his room. It is going better than I thought. Hopefully we will get this down before the baby comes.


here he is sleeping in his room.

I will finish this post with a funny story about Cooper. Friday night we were just hanging out at the house and Trey and I were sitting on the couch and I asked Trey to rub my feet so being the sweet husband he is he did. Then all of the sudden Cooper comes running over to sit up on the couch with us. Well once he noticed what daddy was doing he wanted his feet rubbed too. So he took one of Trey's hands and put it on his foot so that he could rub both of our feet at the same time. Every time Trey tried to stop rubbing Cooper's feet he would yell and grab his hand back and put it on his foot. So funny.

Update

The past couple of weeks have been really busy for us. With work and everything else that seems to pop up time just seems to be flying by. Last Monday Jan 18th I felt the baby move for the first time. I just love that feeling. It is amazing how much sooner I was able to feel this baby versus Cooper. Things are still going great with the pregnancy. Everyone seems to think it is a girl. We get to find out on wednesday what we are having so I will post that great news later this week. Also last week Cooper decided he was going to leap out of his crib. I was just talking about how he never even tries to climb out. Well I jinxed myself. Last Thursday we put him to bed and he was not happy at all and so took it upon his self to get out of bed. We are not sure how he fell out but we know it was not graceful. He ended up with a small bruise on his head but no bump. So since that happened we do not want to put him in his crib in fear that he will escape again. So this weekend Trey and I started the project of getting his big boy room all fixed up. We went and bought furniture saturday and then Sunday we painted his room. I was wanting to get it all done this weekend but we dont even get the furniture until feb 9th so it is just going to be a working project for a while. Hopefully tonight we can go get his rails for the bed and he can start sleeping in his own bed again.
I guess that is all the news I have for now.

The family on Christmas Eve

We had an amazing Christmas this year. It was so much fun to spend it with family. It was crazy busy but fun all at the same time. Trey's family came up early in the week and spent time with us. We went and looked at Christmas lights which Cooper loved. Ever since Thanksgiving every time we drive through the neighborhood to go some where Cooper sees all the lights on the neighbors houses and just screams with excitement. So we thought that he would enjoy going to this neighborhood in Plano and he did. Then we started our Christmas on Christmas eve. We went and had a great service at our church and then came back home for if Ishould say so myself, an excellent dinner. After that we got to let Cooper finally open some presents. We also got to watch snow fall on Christmas eve. It was a white Christmas in Texas this year.

Then we woke up early Christmas day and Cooper got to see what Santa brought him. He was so tired from the day before that we was not that into it at the time. After that we loaded up and headed down to Midlothian. After we slid down the driveway on the ice off we went for the hour and 15 minute drive. The roads were not to bad but the bridges were. We made it down there in one peace and went straight over to the 14 acres to eat a good breakfast and do our Chinese Christmas that we always do. Second Christmas done. Then off to my parents house for Christmas 3. We got some great stockings and presents from Santa there. Last stop to my grandmothers house. We got there and did the presents and then ate dinner. Cooper had not napped at all that day so we were eating dinner and the kid just fell asleep in my arms. He could not take it anymore. it was so funny.

Like I said we had a wonderful time this year.

Here are some pictures.

These first pictures are of Cooper and his friends Zach and Aston playing in the dog cage. All those toys and this is what makes them happy.

The next pictures are of me, my beautiful sisters and my beautiful mom. Every year around christmas time we plan a girls weekend or night. This year we went out to eat some sushi and then went and watched a movie after a long day of shopping. I cherish our girls get togethers. We always laugh and have a blast together.

Last two pics are of Cooper in front of the tree on Christmas eve.

In other news. Baby watts is doing good. I just went for my 15 week check up today and heart beat sounded great. I am still feeling great. This is a big week to pass since this is the same time that I had my seizure with Cooper. So to be feeling this good at this point is a true blessing. Maybe its a girl. In other good news I have only gained 3 pounds so far. Yeah!!

I think that is it for now. Hope everyone has a wonderful new years. I will be working. I figured well no parties for me this year so I should just ring it in with the babies in the NICU.

NEWS!!!!!!!!

We are going to be a family of 4. That is right we are having another baby. Baby Watts will be here June 21st. We are very excited and so far everything is going great with me and the baby. I am almost through my first trimester and I have felt great. Sometimes I wonder if I am even pregnant.

Here is the first picture of our little one.

Thanksgiving 2009 and First snow

So I guess I am now going to shoot for a post once a month. I cannot believe that it has been that long since I did a post. Sorry about that. Last month Trey and I decided to do some remodeling in the house. We wanted hardwoods from the time we were building but the builder did not offer the kind that we wanted. So we are doing it now. It was a long process and very stressful for Cooper and I. We had to stay upstairs the whole time and listen to them banging. I tried to keep our routine as much as possible but it still put some stress on Cooper and I. But in the end it was worth it. They turned out just like we wanted them too. Here is some pics.

Then thanksgiving came around. We loaded up and headed down to Trey's parents this year to celebrate with his family. We had a great time getting to see everyone and the food was great. Then on the way back home we stopped in midlothian and got to see my family and have lunch with them.

This past week Cooper and I have been decorating for Christmas. it took us all week but we got it done. It even felt a little like Christmas when we woke up on Wednesday morning and it was snowing outside. It was the first time Cooper has seen snow. He loved it. I did not know how much longer it was going to last so I threw a hat and shoes on him and put him outside in his PJs to play in it for a minute while I took some pics. How fun. I am ready to take him snow skiing. Only a couple of years from now and he will be ready to go.

Well that is it for this post. Have a great weekend.

Trick or Treat

We had a lot of fun this year with Cooper and trick or treating. We went to a church carnival and Cooper got to play some games and do another petting zoo and some bounce houses. Then the great time change happened and since then our child thinks that his new wake up time is between 5 and 530. just when we got him used to sleeping in until 8. hopefully we can fix this asap. trey and i are getting tired of waking up that early. here are some pics of our train conductor.
