5 months pregnant now!!!!!

Hello everyone.
Just wanted to give you an update. We are doing good. I'm recovering from a nasty cold. I had pink eye, sinus infection and bronchitis. Been very sick for 8 days now. Just starting to feel better. Well we had an ultrasound last week, and everything seemed good, and the tech thought it looked like a little boy!!!!!!!!!. Actually Jamie and I kinda wanted another girl but maybe its because that all we know. One of each will be a great blessing and a new experience.
My migraine headaches are getting better. Thank the Lord. I'm growing a lot. I started out weighing 94# and now I weight 113#. That's 19# already. Wow, I only gained 25# total with Kaeley. I guess you gain more with your second baby. As you know from my last post Kaeley is all about a little sister. I told her that night we found out it was a boy, and her little lip started quivering and she started crying no mommy its my little sister, I of course emotional as am I'm lost it and started bawling. She didn't say anything else. I prayed that God would help her deal with this. The next day Jamie told her what the doctor said about the baby being a boy, she didn't say anything. He told her that no matter what we love all baby's that God gives us no matter if its a boy or girl. Kaeley told her Grandpa later on that day. I'm so confused I thought it was my little sister. Now she will say she is having a brother. So I'm hoping she is adapting in her own way. I don't know how much she understands completely.
Well we had school conferences at Kaeleys preschool. She has improved greatly this year. She is doing good, doing for herself a lot more and becoming more confident that she can do things for and by herself. She is doing well working on writing her name even though she still needs work with her letter e. Her teacher thought she might not be quite ready for Kindergarten yet, which is fine we have decided not to send her until next year. She would be one of the youngest in her class and we want her to be more sure of herself and a little older. With the new baby this will give her some time to adjust to everything. So she will have another year of preschool.
Well I better get some rest. Back to work tomorrow. Sat March 14th is my 32nd Birthday!!!!!!!!!!! Jamie and I are going to take Kaeley and eat at the Japanese place. Yum

WHAT IF ITS A BOY

Kaeley is so excited about the baby but she talks to it and says all the time it's her baby sister and that she knows its a girl. She wont let it go. When I tell her we dont know what God is giving up that it could be a girl or boy and that we will love either one. She says no mom say its a girl. I just hope if it is a boy she will love it and not resent it. Im still trying to image what life will be like with 2 kids instead of one, it's just be Kaeley for almost 5 years now.
Last night Kaeley wanting to put clips in my hair so I let her brush my hair and put this little hair clips in, she said she wanted to put 10 in. When she was through there was 50 little clips stuck all over my head. She keep saying how beautiful I looked when I knew I looked like Frankenstein haha. She had so much fun taking them all out by pulling them out and I more I told her it hurt the more she laughed and thought it was so funny. She has really picked up on her V-tech games and V-Motion games. We got V-Motion for Christmas, she didn't have any desire to play them and then one day decided she wanted to play them and she can do them by herself. Kids sure do what they want when they make up there minds. If anybody has an advise I'd love to hear it. We are still debating on what to do with Kaeley next year for school. She has a summer birthday, and we have talked about not starting her in kindgarden until next year when she is 6 years old. We are still going to take her to open house and have her screening done to see where is falls, but Im so confused. I dont what her to be bored in another year of preschool but I dont what to start her in school her she's not quite ready or if she will struggle. I would rather her be ahead a little. Well better go for now.

We had a wonderful x-mas and new years. Kaeley had a lot of fun this Christmas she understood things better this year, and was so excited about Santa Claus coming. She tore into the presents, in the previous years she would ripe one little piece of wrapping paper off at a time and it would take forever to open 1 gift, this year went alot better. We had a wonderful surprise this holiday. We are expecting!!!!!!!! Kaeley told (Jamie's Parents on x-mas it was so cute to hear her say mommy got a baby in her tummy. Kaeley has know about the baby since Thanksgiving and kept it a secret until x-mas. Jamie's mom and dad watch her 3 days a week and she didn't tell them anything. She is great at keeping a secret. We are all so excited. It finally happened. I have been feeling good, bearly any morning sickness. I am now 13 weeks ago, and starting to show now. I love being pregnant it is such a great feeling.

Funny things kids say

I haven't blogged in a while and need to write down some funny things Kaeley has been saying. When Kaeley is trying to be funny or make someone laugh she will say "Im teasing her up" It's so funny to hear her say it. If she wants something she will say "mom come listen to my ear". And she will bearly whisper. Usually she wants a cookie or a piece of candy. It's so cute the little things that they come up with. Im excited for Thanksgiving, I am having it at my house again. I enjoy making the turkey etc. I cant believe Christmas is just a around the corner. I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. Thank you also for your love and supporting me while I start my photography. It means the world to me. Shawna

Will things ever slow down

Hello,

As you can tell, I have been so busy lately I havent had time to blog. The first week in Sept we went to Adventure Land with our friends and stayed in their new camper. We had a great time. This was Kaeleys first time at Adventure Land and she loved it. She went on every ride she could. Actually she could go on alot if she went with a adult. Jamie and I love all the rides, I guess she gets it from us. That afternoon she out of the blue got very sick, with a high fever, and shortness of breath. Then she started vomitted so the next day and ride home was interesting to say the least. Jamie and I are in our best friends wedding this weekend. So we have been busy with bridal showers and decorating etc. It should be fun.

Kaeley is loving school. She is growing like a weed. Here a few new pictures I have taken.

Busy Times

Things have been crazy at our household. We have had alot going on. Last weekend we went to Adventure land with some friends from church and stayed in their camper. We had a great time. Kaeley ended up sick, which wasnt fun, but she is better now. It didn't stop her from experiecing Adventure Land. It was her first time ever at a admusement park. She loved it and rode on everything she could. She had her arms in the air on about every ride. So we will have to make this a yearly thing now.

This weekend I threw a bridal shower for a friend of mine. Jamie and I are in the wedding Oct 4th. Anyways beside that, things are good just very busy. I have been trying to figure out and play with my new photo software, here are few pictures I have played around with.

A weekend Full of Birthdays

Well things have been busy this past week. Getting into the groove of preschool now. Kaeleys loves going and has so much fun. On Sat we had 2 birthdays to go to. My niece Gracie turned 3 this year. She is into dress up and received about 15 new dress up outfits. She is ALL GIRL. She just got her ears pierced and loves to dress up 24-7 and wears the outfits all day long. I attached some pictures of her birthday. She had a fairy outfit with wings etc. To cute. Then it was our pastors and associate pastors birthdays. We had a surprise party for them in Mt. Pleasant. There were tons of people and we had all made signs with one side saying stuff about our pastor who was turning 50 and the other side was for our other pastor who was turning 40. Their family tricked them into driving by where we are were, we looked like a bunch of protesters. It was great they were so surprised and we had a great time of fellowship.
