Pics

I got a new camera for my birthday and it is more than a point and shoot camera.  I took the kids out to the stockyards today to play with it.  I was only able to take 2 pictures because the bigger memory card I ordered hasn't come in yet.  Here is my first shot of Bradley.  He had his eyes closed in the other one.  The camera is super nice and I really want to get into some photography classes to learn how to use the extra lens and flash.  I am hoping to be able to get a lot of good pictures of our kiddos and not pay an arm and leg.  If anyone is willing to let me practice with their kiddos or family, let me know.  There are a lot of good places out at the stockyards and I am sure there are a lot of other fun places around here too. 

Nothing really new is going on around here.  Alex is starting to try to talk more which is cute.  Bradley likes to play football with her (it's just him tackling her) so she has gotten really tough.  She has her own little personality and screams or grunts when she wants anything.  I am trying to teach her some sign language to help with the screaming, but she isn't into it and is starting to say more.

So far the baby #3 seems to be good.  I go to the Dr for the first time on Friday so we will see what she says.

A few things...

Last week Bradley decided that going to bed wasn't for him.  He will sneak around the house thinking I don't see him, but I always do.  So I have started shutting down the house at his bedtime and going in our bedroom and shutting the door, so if he comes out of his room it is completely dark.  Well I went one night around 10 to make sure the alarm was on and this is what I found, it was completely black. 

I moved him to his bed and he didn't even move.

Today I purchased a used juicer from my friend and immediately went to Central Market and bought organic carrots and apples to juice.  I grew up on carrot juice and love it and Bradley will usually pick it over chocolate milk if I give him the option.  Carrot juice is expensive so I don't have it as often as I would like but with a juicer it is much cheaper and probably better for you.  Here is my first glass.  It is so easy, I am going to try the apples tomorrow.  Bradley loved it, so we will definitely be having it more.  I am hoping to be able to let Bradley help more with the juicing.  He has never been a big fruit juice drinker and that is fine with me. 

A friend of mine from the gym recently had twin baby girls.  I found these adorable bathing suits at Macy's and made towels to match.

"Bryan wake up...

I have something to tell you."  Is how I woke Bryan up a week ago.  He rolled over and said what and I told him "I'm pregnant."  He about had a heart attack since we had decided to re visit the subject of a 3rd child next August when Alex turned 2, but apparently our decision was made for us.  We are really excited and this will be a new adventure for us.  Bradley and Alex are 3 1/2 years apart and we really enjoy that.  Alex and baby #3 will be under 21 months apart.  I have already had blood work done twice and all of my counts look really good.  They are higher than then normal so that is a positive and we will keep our fingers crossed that everything is ok with this pregnancy.  I am more nauseous than usual with my pregnancies and my sciatic nerve is already acting up, but I am thankful that my blood counts are good.  I will post more when I know more.
