Thanksgiving for Two!

This Thanksgiving I was excited to be eating for two! Don't look quite as silly getting that second piece of pumpkin pie when you are pregnant. It was a lot of fun to be around the Plugers, this is the first year Leah was unable to make it, since she is all the way out in Cali, but we did Skype with her and had the laptop at the table which was silly but fun.

Olivia was so cute and ate all kinds of Thanksgiving foods. Can't believe next year we will have two little ones at the table! She is also just learning how to walk and broke her record of taking 7 steps to 11 steps. They grow up so fast, it is going to be crazy watching PJ grow. Every time we see Olivia she is so much bigger than the last time and is doing something new. She can walk and is saying a couple words, love to "read" books and has started to develop her personality. It is also going to be fun having the city boy and the country girl cousins.

PJ's Facebook Debut

Today I made it facebook official that Paul and I are expecting. It was fun to see all the comments especially from those who I have not talked to in awhile. I know I have said this more than once but it is so nice to finally have the secret completely out and not have to worry about slipping up anymore. Not hiding it makes it a lot more fun. Now I get to post my baby bump pictures online and show everyone how big PJ is getting.

Paul posted that he is going to be a dad on facebook too. I love how excited he is, it really makes me happy. Plus it is nice to have someone to share the moment with, I do not know how single moms do it, they must be a lot more independent than I am. They definitely have my respect.

I just started my second trimester and as you can see have the beginning of a noticeably visible baby bump!

Great-Grandparents Time

This weekend we told the Great-Grandparents. It was such a good time! We went up to Stuart last night to hang out and spend the night with Mom and Dad, Brittany came up too. Then this morning we had Grammie, Granddad, and Sandy over and told them the same way we told the Plugers, with a framed picture of my sonogram. Grammie was so excited, she opened her frame and was just looking at it, then Mom asked what it was a picture of. Grammie replied "an unborn baby?" then all of a sudden it hit her and she started yelling and getting so excited. Took Granddad a couple seconds to hear what was going on there was too much noise for him to catch what was happening but it did not take long. And then everyone celebrated!

Shortly after we went over to Grandmom's and gave her her frame. She opened it up and gave me a hug right away. Teary eyed she turned to Paul for a hug then back to me for another one. It was very sweet and emotional. We then went over to Grammie's for dinner and Joy called so I was able to tell her the good news too.

Now that everyone in the family knows the secret is finally completely out. Time to celebrate!

Trayanna Finds Out!

Trayanna and Mack were in town this weekend, so we met them Uptown at Mez last night. It was so much fun telling Tray, we were college roommates so have known each other for almost 10 years, which is crazy. She loves babies/kids and has nannied for years, so needless to say she was very excited. She wants to come down and spend time with us after he is born which will be a lot of fun.

Paul is so sweet, as always, but he is really excited. It is really cute to see him brag about having a little boy and talk about all the things he wants to do with him and teach him. He has been excited the whole time but I think just like it is slowly starting to feel real. It is just so hard to picture such a dramatic change in our lives. After all this is the biggest change that has happen to us - we are going to be PARENTS!

Halloween

Last night we went to Ben & Brittnie's for their Halloween Party. I wore a silly shirt that said "I'm not Fat.. I'm Knocked Up". It was fun to be there and get to be excited with my friends about being pregnant. So  happy that it is no longer a secret. It was also very exciting to tell everyone that it is a little boy!

Then tonight we stayed home and passed out candy to the tricker treaters. This was the first year we have done it and was fun to see all the cute costumes. Wonder what PJ (Paul Jr) will be next year. Saw pictures online and Olivia was a little sheep, she was adorable! Ben was a shepherd and Kable a wolf, so fun seeing how excited Ben is when it comes to Olivia, I am sure Paul will be the same way.

I just started my 14th week on Thursday and cannot believe how fast time is going by. I am already 3 months pregnant - Time Flies!

Happy Halloween!

Plugers at the Park

This afternoon we went to Family Weekend for Paul's work, where we got to eat and hang out with his work friends at Freedom Park. It was a lot of fun! It was the first time most of them had seen me since they found out I was pregnant, so everyone was excited and asked lots of questions. It was fun getting to tell everyone that it is boy! Makes it seem so much more real. And I am very excited that now I know I will be buying blue... makes shopping more fun.

Amber was there with her little Kaitlyn who is a little over 1, it was fun to get to play with her and be around kids more. She was so cute and running everywhere. Oh man, can just see my little boy being just like that when he is her age!

Charlottesville Trip

This weekend we are off to Charlottesville, Va to tell the Plugers the great news. I have printed off a copy of the new sonogram picture and framed it for Barbara to open as the way of telling her the news. Ben, Olivia, Jen, and Daris will be there unfortunately Kable has to work and Leah is in LA so they are unable to be here. But will will give them the good news.

We are so excited! It is going to be so hard not to slip up we got in last night but are not planning on telling them until tonight. This morning at breakfast Barbara was already talking about her four pregnancies and deliveries and how much fun she is having being a grandma to Olivia. So funny that we are had this conversation while I am pregnant and she has no idea... yet!
