Chris brought me home sweet beautiful flowers....as a sweet thought. We had our first official Wednesday night date night. We had some couch time, massaged each others backs and then watched a movie and I fell asleep at 8ish...bye for now.

Today was a big day for Isaac his nursery teacher came to see him...well to see me for instructions for helping out both services this Sunday....those of you praying for me to help out with nursery..it is working and I love it.

Isaac's first time to Ready Set, Jump!!

ON Tuesday morning....Finally I now figured how to put more than one photo on a post...yeah!! This is Isaac and our fun neighbors Mrs.Emily, Abby and Katlyn. We had the whole place to ourselves....it was only $3 for my moms in the know tag/discount and $4 regularly!! what fun!!! Isaac was very tired but had a blast and so did I. We did truck up the big slide and go down it...he loved it!! If you haven't been there in about 3 weeks they have added some new pieces!! It opened at 10am and we were there til 11:20am.

Mrs. Heather is getting ready to have one of these...

Thanks Aunt Emmie!!

I love my firemen's hat I got the other weekend while in NC. Isaac got to visit some of my girlfriends from Pinehurst while we were having a PC party....Em gave Isaac a firemen's hat. This is Isaac having some pack-in-play time one morning this week. Isaac in the past couple days is starting to put whole words together. Today was egg and oh..something else. He ate in his new booster chair tonight. He did well except today he was more excited about the chair than eatting. I spoke too soon...some teething going on today...woke up at 5:30am and then only napped for about 1 1/2 with a runny nost crying hard core...maybe that's why I'm soo tired ha! good though. he'e very healthy. I got to talk to my friend Heather tonight on the phone..sooo exciting! Isaac gets to see her again this weekend. Heather was the first friend to hold Isaac the day we came home from the hospital..and is getting ready to have her own bundle of joy in April....Jeshua...Marti and I are having a shower for her and Ray this Saturday and we are very excited!!

As most of you know Isaac has not been napping well lately due to teething..well today Isaac went down for a nap after we visited our neighbors with a new baby and brought them dinner. Isaac napped from 1-4:15..I woke him up! WOWSER!! either catching up on rest or growth spurt...
Grandma watched Isaac last night while Chris and I went to a PChef party in Mt. Pleasant. Isaac ate about 6 meatballs she said, green beans..a lot and some fruit!! wow what a growing boy.
Yesterday also was a fun day with Isaac learning new things, pointing at a lot now and trying to say it....what fun! What blessing from the Lord. Quite tired last night but feeling great!! almost 15 weeks this Sunday...well blog ya soon.

Wild Wednesday

Hello blogger fans! Wow it's been a wild week up til now. Last week after my update I got ill with a little stomach bug...that lasted til wednesday and then trying to get ready to head out of town Friday to see my family and my Dad's basketball team play at Guilford College. Dad has been coaching for many years and is head coach at Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, VA. Chris, Isaac and I had a great trip. It takes about 4 hours to get there and well worth the drive. We stayed at my folks house and loved just being there and resting. Saturday came along and mom and I got to spend some girlly time together before the big game at 3. Bridgewater did lose against Guilford, a nationally ranked team by less than 10 points. They gave it a go!!! After the game mom had family over for NC BBQ..well it was my sweet sister-in-law who made the recipes..from Paula Deen...always a hit!!
OH!! back up on the 12th of February I went to the doctor for a check up and they checked for about 5 min. to find the heartbeat ..and she said that baby won't stop it keeps going everywhere..she said you have a WILD one in there! great!! sooo we went to the big room and I actually got to see the baby and the heartbeat!! 140 beats a min..any guesses? we find out in about 6 weeks....more to come!! pictures too!!
anyway..getting back to this past weekend...after the food Chris and I got in the car and headed south to drop me off for some girlly time!! My wonderful friends have been wanting to help me out with Pampered Chef and we had a party Sunday...and wow what a turnout and soo much fun! Emily said, "I want a $1,000 show!!" well..they are close to it!! Lastly, Chris and Isaac came and picked me up and then off we are to home.....needless to say Isaac didn't sleep any except for maybe 2 min. before chris decided to stop for GAS!! LORD HELP ME!! ha!!
those of you that have kids know that when they sleep in the car it's not time to stop..oh well! we made it fun with lots of videos, drinks and snacks!!
Not sure what I did on Monday but it was a tiring recovery day...got home at 10:30pm.

oh!! lastly from last week..CHRIS and I celebrated our 3 year engagement anniversary on the 13th of February..we went out to Fonduely Yours in Mt. Pleasant and had a great time!! He is an amazing man, great hubby and absolutely wonderful...daddy!!!
