:: Sleepin' ::

LOL! That's all I can say. Trey's had the sniffles but no fever and felt completely fine (i.e. runnin' around like a mad man). He got to go swimming today, yeah I know probably not the best parental move, but he had a good time nonetheless. Joe and I have been watching a movie, and Trey had been asleep for probably a good hour and I was noticing the he was coughing a lot. So, when Joe got up from his chair I asked him to go check on Trey and put him up on his pillow to help the cough. The next thing I heard was Joe busting out laughing in Trey's dark room. He immediately comes out of Trey's room and goes to get the camera. Allow me to explain, Trey has this pop-up bus in his room that he likes to play and hide in.....I think you can probably see where I'm going with this. Only the bus wasn't so "popped-up", it looked like it had been hit by a hurricane and all you can see is Trey's little head on the floor hanging out of the door. See pics below.

Hooks Airport...Joe's First Post!

This is a video/slideshow that I made of our trip to Hooks Airport in Tomball. I highly recommend it if you are looking for some cheap entertainment and your kids like airplanes. A side note...Trey had been a very well behaved little boy last week(4th of July, Hooks Airport, Ruckus room, etc.) We told him he could pick out a toy from Target. We went up and down each of the toy aisles. He saw some toys he liked, but none he wanted to take home. We thought maybe he was just being an indecisive 2-year-old. In fact, he would rather have a book. A BOOK! He picked out a CARS book that has several different little buttons that make noise when you push them, a steering wheel, and a horn. He loves it. If you happen to visit, he will probably help you read it. He is really quite the character. Anyways, enjoy the movie. Hint: pause the music (on the right) before you start it.

Too much time, I know...

:: Airplanes and Ducks! ::

So Hooks Airport is pretty much the coolest place on earth if you are a 2 1/2 year old little boy! Let's start by getting out of the car...the ducks mob you expecting that you have their next meal. Luckily, Mimi was ahead of the game and brought some bread with her. From there you head thru the lobby and find all of the fun planes and helicopters. There was a nice gentleman that let Trey sit in the cockpit and even put the headphones on. I think he is Trey's new hero, if not he's mine because that totally made Trey's day! Here's the pics from this morning...Enjoy!

What Are All of These Things In Here?

Oh Happy Day!

Look At That!

Daddy Time! WoW!

Yea, Yea...I know

I have way too much time on my hands. Hence the new background and header. Don't get used to it though, because I'm assuming in the next two weeks, that time is going to fly right out the window. Stay tuned for pics this evening....Trey got to go to the airport today and feed the ducks. Yesterday he went to the Ruckus Room to go jumping (awesome on Toddler Tuesdays...$2 unlimited time). He has had an eventful last couple of days!

IIIIIII'm Baaaaaaaaack!

So, is there such a thing as being too healthy to have a baby? :) I got rejected by the hospital this morning. Here is how the last 24 hours have gone. Last night, Joe retreated to the guest bedroom because I couldn't sleep and had the TV on and he wanted to read. Plus, the snoring of a 36 wk. pregnant woman can be pretty nasty! :) Anyway, I woke up around 12:30 a.m. when my mind would not shut off. It continued to run wild, so I moved myself out to the recliner to watch some TV with my fabulous body pillow (sidebar: not much on the tube after 1 a.m). 3:30 rolled around and I finally fell back asleep (still in the recliner). I think I watched the 5 a.m. newscast, but I'm not 100% positive. The next thing I remember was Trey coming around the corner at 7:30. Thank goodness Joe was not far behind him and I got to go back to bed and catch another hour or so of sleep. I think I was just psyching myself out because I THOUGHT it was my last night as a mother of 1. Anyway, around 10 a.m. I got a call from the doctor. She explained to me that unless something was terribly wrong at the appointment this afternoon, the hospital wouldn't take me at 36 weeks. I would have to have severe preeclampsia before they would take me. (FYI...the dr. is new to this hospital, so she didn't think they would put the brakes on) Talk about taking the wind out of your sails. Now, don't get me wrong. I want to wait until at least 37 weeks to have Emery, but I was told that I was having this baby tonight or tomorrow. Anywho, we kind of bummed around the house until it was time to head to the Dr. Fast forward to 3:30 this afternoon. Ultrasound...Emery scores 8 out of 8. NST (Non-stress Test)....Emery scores 10 out of 10. My BP....125/74 :). Protein.....NONE! So, basically today I was the healthiest I've been the whole time! WOO HOO! I bought myself another week. Joe on the otherhand was SOOO ready for Emery to be here, and he was a little perturbed at the doctor (A) getting our hopes up (B) FREAKING me out about preeclampsia/toxemia, when IF I have it is a very mild case at the moment. Next week, I go to the doctor on Wednesday morning for all of the same tests, and I think we are going to take the 24 hour urine test (can you sense the excitement about that last one?)....That is the latest news. Check back for more fun pics this week, as I will be getting my camera out.

Woo Woo's!

This morning Trey got to go over to Mimi's house to see the Woo Woo's come by. Those of you unfamiliar with 2 year old language, woo woo's = fire trucks! It was a big hit. The last time he saw the Woo Woo's at Mimi's house was last Christmas. So, on the way over to Mimi's he kept asking if Santa would be on the Woo Woo....not quite, Trey. Anyway, he loved it. They had a little parade around the neighborhood, so daddy let Trey sit in the front seat and "drive". Don't worry, we passed the police man that was in charge of the parade, and Trey was hanging out the driver's side window, waving and saying "Hi!! We go see the Woo Woo's!" I figured if the cop was okay with it, we should be too! :) P.S. WE WERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, CPS doesn't need any reports. Plus, they'll have to wait on me, I'm supposed to have a busy day on Monday. :) Hope everybody enjoys the 4th today!
