Baby update and clean up

Christmas is Over..
Now that Christmas has come to an end we spent all day today cleaning up and cleaning out. The trash men were not happy with us as they drug away 14 bags of trash and we have four bags going to Good Will. We even tackled Drew's play room to set up all the new stuff. Our next project is the baby room and painting the "kids" play room.

Baby Update:
Our ultrasound is Jan 7th to find out the sex of the baby. Justin says he doesn't care but I think he secretly wants a girl so he can buy her a pink cowboy's jersey. I am of course hoping for a girl but I will be happy with a boy since I know how to take care of one already. I am feeling much better now, the nausea comes and goes but not near as bad as before. I am still wearing my regular clothes but I think it won't be long before I have drag out the maternity clothes. I am carrying this one much different, with Drew my hips started expanding first but with this one my belly is expanding first. Who knows...

Happy New Year!!

Christmas Part IV-Hensley's

How cute!! (My belly looks like it's sticking out)

Emily trying out her new shopping cart...

Carrying around some fruit..

Opening more gifts..

More bows..

Uncle Sam-My dad every year hand carves a special guy for Christy, Kelsey and myself. He is very talented and it means so much to each of us. We all get a different one each year and I have mine on display in my kitchen.

The "brunch" with the Hensley clan was no different, loud but fun. As our family grows I think mom and dad need a bigger house. The kids really enjoyed opening and dad even played in a tent with Drew. Fun was had by all.

Christmas Part III-Santa came to visit

Drew must of been a good boy, Santa brought lots of gifts. His biggest was a huge train and train table. He loves it...

We had a great Christmas, I can't believe next year we will have two opening Santa presents. Yikes!!

Christmas Eve the Lamb family came over to celebrate Christmas. We had lots of good food and Drew enjoyed every minute of it. This year was the first we have all been together since Courtney and Greg got married, it was a blessing.

Just what I have always wanted..

Happy boy..

Peppy said, is this over yet?

Our first Christmas was with Papa Dave, Dee Dee and Uncle Ben. They all came in last week and stay with us for a few days. Drew had a blast but I think they all were exhausted when they left. We play lots of cards, risk and ate a lot. Drew really enjoyed seeing them again.

Update-Thanksgiving

Justin and I took a little trip the weekend before Thanksgiving to Gatlinburg. We did some shopping and sleeping. It was our first trip alone in about 5 years.

Thanksgiving was delicious as always. We ate at my moms and Justin had to work after we ate. As you can see from the pictures below Uncle Pat and Drew had fun racing. 

Emily had a great time playing on the John Deer tractor as well. She is almost tall enough to reach the gas. 

Drew is driving Emily around in the cart. Good thing Granny and Uncle Pat are holding on because Emily fell right out of the back-didn't phase her a bit. 

He is such a big boy...

Drew had a Thanksgiving program at school. They sang three songs and ate pizza. He practiced and practiced those songs, you should ask him next time  you see him. 

Christmas Update:

We are getting ready for Christmas and Santa Clause. All of our decorations are up and still shopping of course. I am almost finished but haven't started wrapping yet. Drew is so excited he can't stand it. Being good for Santa is such a great tool, I am not sure what we'll do after the holidays. Next week I go to Portland, Oregon for work. I will only be gone Wed-Sat but it's long enough. When I return we have lots of wrapping and baking to do. 

Baby Update:

As most of you know I have still been very sick. The past week has brought on vomiting which was a surprise and not a good one might I add. This pregnancy is very different than with Drew, so maybe that means  a girl. I see my ob on Monday and hope she will give me something different for the sickness so I can function. It's been rough here at the Lamb House. 

Hope all of you are enjoying the holidays!

Baby #2

Introducing Lamb Baby #2. Today was our first doctor's visit. Everything is going very well. The doctor couldn't hear the heartbeat with the regular doppler but it seems to be the case with both of our kids. So, here is our ultrasound picture. The heartbeat was 176 and she/he even has arms, legs and ears. She gave me some new medicine for the "morning sickness" but today I feel pretty good. We will see Dr. Davis on Dec 8th again. 

Halloween Pics-Better late than never

Here are Drew's Halloween pictures. Justin and my parents took him trick or treating because we both had ball games on that night. He really enjoyed giving out candy with pa and granny.

ZOO Trip

We took Drew to the zoo over fall break. He loved it and we did too. I think it is a place we will visit again, the jungle jim was a huge hit. I thought we were going to loose him in there, Daddy had to go in several times to find him. 

Big News!!

We are having another baby! The due date for this little lamb is June 9th. We are almost 9 weeks. This pregnancy has already been different than the last one. I have been very sick. I see the nurse tomorrow for the first time and I hope she can give me something. I have spent most weekends in bed feeling so bad. Our families are very excited and Drew says he wants a little sister. If I don't post for awhile this is why, when Drew goes to bed I do to.

Busy Weekend

We had an extremely busy weekend. Saturday we started with soccer and I must say we are getting better each week. This week he got to play on the same team as his buddy Lex..


So serious...

Drew and Lex getting ready for the whistle...

After soccer we went to Hendersonville to celebrate Emily's 1st birthday. She really enjoyed all the gifts and the smashing of the cake.
