Remington.....Loooong over-due post

WOW!!! Busy mommy, busy life.....no blogging?? Whats with that?

So Mr. Remington is a whopping 18 months old now. He's no baby. He's a freakin toddler!!!! He has learned SOO much in these last few months.

Lets see, He blows bubbles with his spit in his mouth. Yes, total boy huh?

He dances ALL.THE.TIME! If a commercial comes on TV with music he stops and dances. Dances to our cell phone ringtones, dances in the car, dances even when we sing! He loves to dance!

His favorite snack of all time is......ICE! He loves eating crushed ice. He's actually figured out how to get the ice out of the 'fridge by placing a bowl in the 'water/ice' dispenser and "Wala!!!'

He gives kisses on command now...and not to just us...the dogs get kisses too! His little lips are the best kissers!

He 'blows' on his food and can blow bubbles out of the bubble wand too!! He gets sooo excited to see those bubbles fly out when he knows HE did it!

He waves 'bye bye' to everyone..even random people at the store :)

He has a favorite truck that must go with him everywhere. We're trying real hard not lose it either 'cause we got it in a happy meal toy of all places. But out of all the toys he has, and I mean its a mini toy store, this truck is the one he prefers.

He climbs on the table, the couch, the chairs and anything else that is 'climbable' .

He can put those wooden puzzles together! Makes us so proud to watch him put them together.

..and best yet?? He pats his 'peepee' when he needs to be changed. He'll then run to his room, grab a diaper and run back out to the living room, lay down and hold his diaper up!!! It's getting close to potty training day!! OH -- and he absolutely LOVES throwing his diapers away. He gets soo excited when we say "Go throw it in the trash" . He giggles the whole way to the trash can.

I can't get over how much this little boy has grown. I stare at him all day long and wonder what he'll end up doing with his life. He's got one heck of a arm on him so I'm hoping a pro baseball player :)

Love you Sweetie Pie!!!

Big day tomorrow!

I am a few days short of 8 weeks pregnant and tomorrow we get to see the 'lil bambino via Ultrasound. I realllly hope things go well. I am SUPER nauseous, can't eat much more then toast and have only been able to leave the house twice this week. Yea so...pretty crappy feeling. AND I took anther preg test this morning and the "positive" line showed up before the control line, so that was re assuring. Its still nerve-racking though. I just hope its in the right spot and has a healthy beating heart. I'll keep ya'll posted!!

PS- in the meantime, I'm going to be posting alot of 'back dated' posts of Remi and 'milestones' :)

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!

Well, much to our surprise...in a way.....we are expecting baby #2!!!!! I am 5 weeks along and due around Jan. 5 2013.

We have been trying on and off for the last 6 months...nothing too serious, just doing 'the deed' on the right days and thats it.
Remember back to conceiving our son, we tried for almost a 1.5 years and had countless rounds of the fertility drug clomid, estrogen and progesterone, 2 artificial inseminations (both failed). So THIS baby was a complete surprise 'cause we didn't try at all - Literally!

I'll explain.

Last month I tore the meniscus in my left knee. I've been pretty 'couch bound' due to the pain and when I'm in pain.....sex is the last thing on my mind. Fortunately for Hubby, our anniversary was last month so to 'be a good wife' I gave in :). It made the total of sex for the month equal - ONCE!! Once the entire month. (yea, I know..Lame)

So in the back (and front) of my head I thought there is NO way I got pregnant. It wasn't "baby making sex", it was anni sex. I had no idea when I was ovulating and didn't really care - resort back to broken knee -

So there I sat, 5 weeks after my last period and I thought "Hmm.. well its not unusual to go this long between periods but I have a few 'internet cheapies' in the bathroom and ironically I have to pee!

I pee. 2 double pink lines. OMG. What? How? When? WHAAAT!!!!!!!

I call for my husband, still sitting on the potty, "What the hell is this?" ...laughing while holding up the stick.
He even said "Whaaat!!!!!"
He runs out to walgreens to get a First Response. I push out the little pee I can salvage and we wait.......

There they sat. Two...Pink....Lines....

Mike is in the kitchen feeding our boy and I yell from the bathroom ...
"I"M PREGNANT!! I"M PREGNANT!!!!"

He comes running in with the biggest smile ever and said "Really!?!? OMG!! How the heck??"

It was pretty epic.....

We had to 'sit on the news' for a good night before we told our family.

Here is the youtube link on how we told MY parents.

As for Mikes parents, He called his mom saying "Hey, I made something for Keri and I need to know what you think. I'm going to send you a picture on your cell" She says "Okay" -- He then sends her a picture of those two famous pink lines.....


....Can't believe we're going to do this again!!!
