Vacation 2009


















We just got back from our first family vacation, and boy, was it eventful!




It all started out with Logan getting sick Monday (while we were still at home) and he is still sick. He had vomiting/diaherrea, and it's still not over with yet! (We go to a new doctor tomorrow!)




Wednesday around 10am, Lester comes home from work with the same thing. Now don't forget, we are supposed to leave the next day with our good friends, the Tillery's, for Wimberly, TX, for vacation. Thursday morning Lester decides he's well enough to go ... let's just say that we made it to Wimberly about 9 hours later (should have been a 5 or 6 hour trip), but with two sick guys, one pregnant lady, and three kiddos (6, 2 1/2, & 2 1/2), that was impossible.




Katie and I got a cabin online ... haha! It was an okay cabin, but just had it's funny things (hot water in the showerfor only 1-2 minutes max, shakes when you walk, etc.).




Friday we go to Sea World ... Lester had to spend about 1 1/2 hours at lunch time in the car cooling off, which I didn't mind, 'cause that meant air conditioner and relaxation! It was super busy being Spring Break week!! After he got to feeling better, we finished the day - Logan LOVED it! He got to see the killer whale show, pet a dolphin, and see cool acrobatic shows! His face was priceless as he watched it all!




Then Saturday we went fishing in the morning, which Logan LOVED! Then that afternoon, we went into San Antonio again to the riverwalk. We rode one of the riverboats, ate at a GREAT Mexican Restaurant, viewed the Alamo, and had a great time!






*Quick side note, while I was writing this, I just felt Lydia move for the 1st time for sure!! -- yea!*






It was an exhausting trip, but worth it 100%.

IT'S A GIRL!!

Well, the sono tech says it's a girl!!!!! That really, really surprised me! I just knew it was a boy -- I need to get Lester to upload the picture of the sonogram ... she's so sweet looking!!! Her name is Lydia Pearl Dreher. We just love the name Lydia (Logan would have been Lydia if he would have been a girl), and Pearl is after my Great-Grandma (Ethel Pearl Snell).
I've already started looking at bedding for her crib that we've already ordered!!!!!! I can hardly wait to start doing her hair and putting her in sweet little dresses! Oh, the fun is about to begin!

The baby is GROWING!


The baby is growing, growing, growing ... as you can tell from my picture! I have LOST 15 pounds, but the the baby is getting nutrients from somewhere evidently! haha!
I go to the doctor on March 13, and they will set up an appointment then for the sonogram to tell the sex ... here's my guess ... boy! I have had multiple dreams that it's a boy and Lester has had one, also! I'm still hoping for a girl, but I will gladly welcome a little guy! :) They are so sweet to their mommas! :)
Logan is over his virus -- gosh, that was some bad stuff.
I will update when I have something to say .... like what the sex of the baby is!
