Another peek

We got to take another peek at our little man today. Today was the u/s at the Naval Hospital where they do all the measurements, and check the baby out. He's perfect! We saw 10 little fingers and 10 little toes, and even got to see him trying to suck on his hand! That was the SWEETEST thing I have ever seen! Brought tears to my eyes. I guess you don't really think about them doing that. Of course, you read it in all the books...they practice swallowing and sucking to be ready when they are born, but I guess I just never expected to see it. REALLY bummed that we couldn't vidoetape that. But, I did get a LOT of pictures of him, so hear are a few for you.





5 little toesies!!

Falyn's riding the bus!!

Where does the time go?? My *little* Falyn is old enough to ride the BUS?? She definitely thinks so! LOL Call me a bad mom, I can't for the life of me find her "first day of school" pics that I took (bad photographer too...I know!), but I did find the "first day on the bus" pics! She LOVES it! She is SO excited to ride it. Her little friend across the street, Victoria is in first grade and they sit together. Aren't they adorable?

This is in our driveway.


Here they are as the bus is coming. The stop WAS across the street from my house, but it's too stinkin' hot to stand out there in the sun, so we've moved over to my driveway in the shade. ;) And that's little Clayton...he lives down the street from us.







I'll tell you more about how her first year of school is going later...we're having issues, and it's getting out of hand. Later...

Faith Madysen - an update

Can you believe she's 2?? I can't. I can remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. I remember holding her for the first time, and thinking I'd only seen one other person as beautiful as she. I've watched her crawl, walk, talk and say "No!" like any other 2 year old. Being so far away from family, I'm sad thinking how little they know about her. I wish you could know her the way that I do. Even people that see her regularly, don't know the "real" Faith. She's SO smart! It's almost scary! She teaches me something new everyday, and I know all parents say that, but it's true. She learns something everyday. She studies things, and if you watch her closely when she plays, you can see the smoke coming out of her ears. And when she's figured it out, she wants you to know it. She wants to be right in my lap, and just out of arms reach. She's compassionate. She's giving. She LOVES her big sister, and hates her all at the same time. If you give her something, she makes sure she gets one for Falyn too. She's independent, yet helpless. She's strong willed, weak, gentle, rough. She can make you laugh till you cry, and just as mad! She's eager to learn, play, please and defy. She is a SNUGGLE BEAR!! She loves her daddy, but most of the time, wants her mommy. If you let her, she'll color you a brilliant masterpiece....on your walls! She'll be your shadow, and hide from you. She holds regular conversations with Grandma, Nene, Oma and Daddy on the other end of her Barbie cell phone. She'll repeat ANYTHING you say...so watch out! The "nu-nu" (pacifier) is her downfall. She'll try just about anything, but won't always eat it. Milk, applesauce, mac & cheese, and pizza are what she'd eat everyday if I let her.

Writing all of this just brings tears to my eyes. I never knew it was possible to love another person so much! My children have taught me a LOT about life, things I didn't know, I didn't know. They are brilliant and beautiful...and the light of my life.

Can you tell the preggo hormones are raging? I was finally able to get her 2 year photos yesterday, so I thought I'd tell you a little about my "Faify".

WHAT am I going to do....

with a BOY?!?!? OMG!! I am still in shock I think. Seriously did NOT expect for them to tell me boy! But, I guess that explains all the puking in the first 3-4 months huh? Here's some "in-utero porn" for ya! :) They are pretty dark, but my scanner isn't the best in the world. The first 2 are of his "parts" and the last one is a weird skeleton profile.

Baby to be!

Ok, I haven't posted it here yet...sorry! But I am SO excited that we are adding another addition to our family. I wasn't sure at first, and I was MISERABLY sick for the first 3 months, but now I am feeling this little peanut kick and roll, and it's awesome! We are due on 12/26, but the Dr suspects that since both the girls came early this one may too. Here is our first peak at the baby at 10 weeks.



On Monday (start of my 21st week) at 2:30 CST, we have an appointment at the u/s school to get a GOOD peak at baby Geigley and find out if it's another "she" or a "he" this time. Really, at this point, either way I am thrilled! Little nervous to have a boy, but thrilled none the less.

Little Bruiser

Falyn and Faith...what I can I say...those girls know how to duke it out like the best of them. This time Faith got the raw end of the deal...my best guess is they were playing tug of war over a book, and Falyn let go. Scared the crap out of me!! I think it scared Falyn good too. They can be so sweet to each other one minute, and MEAN as all get out the next. Siblings...
