While Dad's Away Mom and Sam Play

Summer Time

Sam LOVES to be outside!!! Fits are thrown when it's time to come in...not a pretty sight! We have just loved our neighborhood and all the kids out when it's nice and Sam loves to have friends over so it's worked out great! I have learned that as a mom here I have to have my frig packed with Capri Suns and freezer pops if I want to be "cool".
Here are a few pics of Sam enjoying the sun...our albino child could always use some more Vitamin D :)

It's Official...

Sam is going to be a big brother!!! We are due on December 23rd, 2008 and couldn't be more thrilled! The first trimester has flown by with just a few bumps in the road. We had our 2nd official doctor's appointment yesterday and I have actually lost some weight due to my "evening" sickness, but I am starting some nausea medicine that will hopefully cure it soon! And I am on strict orders to not workout out for a week and drink a milkshake everyday...pretty rough I know!
I clearly didn't have trouble gaining weight with Sam so I'm sure it's just a matter of time until I start packin' on the pounds!
Here are a few belly pics! These were taken when I was almost 12 weeks along (and right before I threw up everything from the wedding).
