Hello Everyone!

We have some exciting news! The Boyd Family is expecting baby number two! He/She won't be making an appearance until Aug. 29, 2012 (approximately), but we sure are excited! We went to the Dr. today for the first apt and we got to see our new little one for the first time!

 In this pic, baby Boyd is upside down but either way you look at it, it's pretty hard to see if it looks like a baby. But I promise it is. Our Doc, Dr. Abair, seems great and she said that the baby has a strong heart beat, which we were able to see on the screen. No sound yet though. :(

The baby is measuring at 8 weeks so that is a technical due date of Sept. 4th, but they also told me Aug. 29th... Oh well, anywhere around there. :)

We are so excited. We thought we would have a harder time getting pregnant because I had problems with some of the birth control I was on. A doctor told us in October to go back on the pill for 3-6 months to try and fix my problems. Jordin and I talked about it and we decided to wait until the new year and if we weren't pregnant by then, THEN I would go on the pill.

Well, guess what?

We found out on Dec. 31st that we were expecting! What a New Year's Eve Present!!

The only horrible downside, which I think I repressed since I was pregnant with P-cakes, is the CONSTANT nausea! Blah. I am sick all day, every day. Jordin has been amazing though helping me when he gets home from work and babying me. :) Hopefully it doesn't last much past the first trimester like it did with P.

We really feel so blessed, and recognize this opportunity as a blessing in our lives. We can't wait until we get to meet him/her!  (My guess is a boy, but we'll see!)

Christmas Pics... Better late than never!

Yesterday I finally found the cord that plugs the camera into the computer so I can finally put some pictures up on the blog!  We had a wonderful Christmas. It was just us for the first time and we had a great time. Some of the fun gifts that we got: dolls, books, some camping gear, and I got a fun Kindle!

Here's Pailey with a stroller she got from her Great-Grandma Connor!

I am so proud of this tree! I love it. Although I am still vacuuming up pine needles...

We went on walks but it was a bit cold so we bundled her up tight!

Love this pic of her swingin'.

THEN, the day after Christmas Jody, Daren, and Dusty drove to see us! They actually drove all Christmas night to get there about 3:30 the next afternoon! They love us. :)

We went to the Houston Zoo and if you can take your eyes off the the wonderful toddler, you can see these crazy cows that they have in Africa. Look how long their horns are!!!

You should hear my monkey call to go with it! Ooo-Ooo-Ooo!

She loved the Antelope!

This is what we had to do so she could see some of the exhibits. 

We went to the Challenger 7 Memorial Park. I love this shot of P cakes and her Uncle Dusty.

They climb trees together.

So we took the frisbee to play with Dash and the wind whipped it into this MASSIVE thorny bush. Here the boys are trying to fish it out.

She's a natural model. Gorgeous!

Say Cheese!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this photo! Nana and Papa walking with P cakes!

 

For New Years, we played games and had lots of food. Including this Eggnog Trifle!

Bon Apetite!

These next pics are ones I took yesterday. She was having fun sitting in the window, so I had to get pictures.

I love silhouettes.

Buds.

There really is no baby more cute than her!

Now it's back to the same-ol' life. I can't believe the holidays are over already. Pailey also went to the ER this year! Can you believe it!? The poor girl had a temp of 105 and so we had to take her. It ended up being a viral infection and she's fine now but it sure took a lot out of all of us! Hope the rest of the year goes well. :)
