Lydia Pearl Dreher

I had a 4D sonogram on Thursday and we made sure that we had a Lydia! And we do!!!! She was beautiful. We only got a couple of 4D shots, because they weren't very good. The tech said that she was only 15 ounces, so she wasn't fat enough! But we got lots of good other pictures. She had her foot on her head almost the entire time! She was funny. During the sono, she waved at us twice in a row -- it was SO sweet!!!! We got it all on DVD. One thing the tech did say was that she has big feet! haha! GREAT! She will fit right in with all of us big footers!! If I can figure out how to get the pictures off of the cd, I will post some sono pictures ...
On another note, we got her crib in a couple of weeks ago, and Lester and Chris (a good family friend of ours) put it together, and Chris' wife, Katie, cleaned up Lydia's room while I was gone one day -- they were so sweet to do that! It looks so good! The nursery is already painted yellow and the crib is white. I have been thinking of sewing/making her bedding set ... we'll see, though. I was thinking maybe a paisley and the denim .... I don't know if I'm that creative, but we will see as time gets closer -- I need to go fabric shopping.
I think that's all for now -- wish us luck -- I'm already in my 23rd week ... time's flying!

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!

Sick toddler!

Two days ago, Logan started running a fever of around 102.5. That night, he ran up to 104.3 ... I took him to the doctor the next day and basically there's nothing she can do. He does NOT have the flu (thank God), no ear infections, no throat infection. He has a horrible snotty nose, coughing, sneezing, NOT sleeping, and still a fever of 102+.
It's horrible when your baby is sick and you just can't do anything about it!!!!

Our life, thus far!

I thought this might be a good way of everyone following along to this crazy life of ours. I will do my best to keep this up.
I'll give you a little updating about everyone.
Lester is still loving his job at L-3 Communications as a Mechanical Engineer.
I am still teaching Pre-K 3 days a week -- it's the perfect job!!
Logan is already 2 1/2 years old!! My, how time flies!!!
Baby #2 is 15 weeks along in my belly -- hopefully we'll find out soon what we're having!!!
