It's a......

BOY!!! That's right. RJ and I are adding a little boy to our household come October 10th. We are very excited (to say RJ is excited is an understatement!!). I don't think Campbell has any clue what's going on and how her little 16 month old life is about to change.

I want to remember this day, so here's all the details... My parents and brother drove up from Coleman to keep Campbell. The ultrasound appointment took forever (1 1/2 hours before they even started the measurements). I was "small talking" with the sonographer and told her I didn't want to find out the gender until my husband was in the room with me. Literally the third picture she took was of the babies "behind". I asked, "Is that the behind?" She said yes and I (who can't tell anything from those silly ultrasound pictures) knew immediately. She could read it on my face. She asked if I was sure I didn't want to know the gender. I told her I had a rather good guess and would wait for my husband. :) Twenty minutes later RJ was escorted into the exam room. Of course, I asked RJ one last time what he thought the baby's gender was. He said boy once I told him he had to pick one or the other. I, of course, have said boy from day one :)The dr. looked at some more pictures of the heart and then told us our baby weighed 10 ounces and looked very healthy. Then the sonographer put a picture up on the screen (the same 3rd picture) and said, "Do you see that little part right there?" RJ and I said "Yes" and she said "Congratulations! It's a little boy!" The best part was RJ's reaction. He let out his loud laugh (if you know my husband you know exactly what I am talking about) and had a HUGE smile on his face! He was so proud. With Campbell, the first thing out of his mouth was he was about to be totally out numbered in our household. Of course, he was grinning from ear to ear then too, but I really think he was more in shock with Campbell.

We had our appointment with Dr. Irwin after the ultrasound appointment. At first, I couldn't find him when I came out of the ultrasound. I called him and where was he you might ask? He was ALREADY in the baby boutique store looking at little boy clothes. LOL It was too sweet. He was so excited. It's been a stressful couple of weeks for him and me and it was so nice to see him smiling again. He (and I) are on Cloud 9!

My little man's 1st outfit.

(Of course I couldn't even leave OGA without stopping by the Stork Club and picking him out something blue).

The next post: telling our parents!

Quality time with the Grandparents

Campbell loves her Honey and Pepe'. Whenever they are around Campbell doesn't even remember I'm alive! LOL She's not spoiled at all! She even had to sit between them in a booster set and get spoon fed. Okay, I'll give her a break. We had just come from the dr. and learned she had a double ear infection.

Hello Paparazzi!

Oh, yes. She is obsessed with wearing my sunglasses. Even indoors. LOL Watch out Hollywood!

WEDDING TIME!!!

Hilton and Amber are getting married today :)

Girl Time--Mama Style

A couple of weeks ago, Lane and I treated Jen to a birthday dinner at Brio's. It was so much fun and just what we all 3 needed. We don't get enough of this precious time. I love these 2 wonderful Mama's.

15 Month Stats

This picture makes me laugh. She's such a girly girl. She rounded up all her bows she could find in her reach and brought them to me to put on her head around 9am one morning! I put the first one on and then she said "Uh Uh Uh" and gave me another bow. She also found her each headbands and wore them as bracelets. God I love this girl!



Alittle late since Campbell will be 16 months this week but here are her 15 month stats. Better late than never, right?

18 lbs 4 oz (1%)

29 inches (12%)





You might think from still being in the 1% on weight that Campbell is not eating enough. Wrong. This little girl can put the food away. She is constantly snacking on something. She also usually cleans her plate for dinner. RJ and I are amazed at how much she can eat especially when it comes to mexican food. What can I say, she got my metabolism. I can put away the food too. LOL





She's talking up at storm. Favorite words, Uh Oh, Daddy, Dada, Momma (hardly ever hear these special word anymore), Side (for outside), Ball, Dog, Doggie, etc.





She loves peas and pears-- can't get enough. She also likes broccoli, califlower (weird, I know), green beans, corn, peaches and ice cream (she does not want to share either).





We've been off of bottles since 12 months and is really enjoying whole milk.





Still going to bed at 7pm but waking up around 7:15am now. Napping around 9:30-11:00am and then again 1:45pm-3:15pm.





Campbell is extremely busy and into everything these days! That's really an understatment. She loves my makeup drawer, pearl necklaces, all bracelets and my shoes of course. I look up most of the time and she's got a necklace in her hand (don't worry Mom, I watch her like a hawk with these), bracelets on her arms, and trying on my shoes. Not just any shoes either, it's usually always one of my Tory Burch shoes (what can I say, the girl has good taste).





She also has a temper. Oh yes. I said a stubborn temper. When she wants something she says "Uh Uh Uh" and points. If she doesn't get it, she hides her face in her hands and acts like she's crying. (So dramatic!) Just last week I wouldn't give her another puff because she needed to eat her "real food" first. She started crying bloody murder as loud as she could in the restaurant. Very embarrassing. She also likes to throw herself on the ground when she doesn't get her way. She physically flat lines herself. Oh Lord help me.





She's also a sweet, sweet little girl. She will come sit in my lap and lay her head down on my shoulder for no reason. I get sloppy precious kisses whenever I want. She is so full of personality and loves to smile at everyone. Its priceless.

Happy Birthday Lollie!

Happy Birthday Lollie!

Thanks for being such a great friend and wonderful Godmother.

We love you!

Campbell-- almost 16 months

Baby #2-- 16 weeks

p.s. C was a little "flirt" the whole day. She giggled and smiled at every person that would look her way. Laura and I couldn't even enjoy our lunch/Galleria trip without some stranger coming up and telling us how cute Campbell was-- she was hamming it up! (Momma on the other hand, is competely exhausted as you can tell from the bags under my eyes-- I need sleep!).

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing Mom. She's always putting her kids first, going out of her way to help others and her church, and has been a wonderful role model for Amber and Will and me. It wasn't until I had Campbell that I truly appreciated her and all the sacrifices she has made. God really did send us an angel when he made my mom. She's the heart of our family. Sorry we couldn't be there to celebrate Mother's Day with you today but I hope you truly know how special you are to us! We love you!

My first day of Kindergarten

Sorry Mom, I just had to put this in. It should be against the law looking this good 5 days after having a baby!

I realize I need more pictures of my brother and my mom after this post.. sorry Will!
