A Day at the Zoo...

The same weekend of the first Spring fishing - we also went to the Cameron Park Zoo. I'll admit - I am not the fondest person of Waco (I'd rather live somewhere with FOUR seasons! :) ) but we ARE Blessed to have such wonderful amenities within a few minutes drive and without the hassle of a bazillion others trying to get into the same place.


Cameron Park Zoo is really fabulous and we have all thoroughly enjoyed it... case in point...

Fishing with Daddy....

So this was a few weeks ago (March 13th or so...) It was our first pretty Spring weekend so we went down to the lake which we are Blessed to live so near to!

Andrew is very much like David in SOOOOO many ways... and one of those is a love for fishing...

10 1/2 Week Pregnant Belly Shot...

Here it is... more than 1/4 of the way through....

Still a long way to go...but here's the first official belly shot of Baby #2!

Davlin Style Bluebonnet Pics

O.k., so apparently we are horrible parents according to anyone who resides in the state of Texas. We have never taken pics of Andrew in the bluebonnets.

Yup. You read that right. We live in Texas, my husband is a proud Texan, we are parents and we have NEVER taken pics of our Andrew in the bluebonnets.

Well, last Sunday, David decided it was past time to do so. While he reassures me that there are some great pics in the bunch... these were his 2 faves...































Yup. That's our boy!! LOL!

I promise to post some of the good ones soon...but for now, I had to put these out there for anyone else needing a good laugh!!!

10 Week Checkup & the "Pregnant Freshman 15"

So I've been horrible at posting lately but promise to post lots of pictures taken of Andrew the past few weeks very soon...

But before too much time got away from me - I wanted to post that we had our 10 week checkup for Baby #2 today. Great checkup - the heartbeat was @ 130, Dr. wasn't concerned about my HORRIBLE college freshman style diet :) and we're set to have a sonogram on May 11th to check for birth defects.

I do have to share a funny story about my experience with one of Dr. Becker's interns. Sweet girl - but definitely new in the patient relationship field. She was a little nervous asking questions and muddled through the paperwork. She reviewed my last lab results, blood pressure and weight over the past few visits. When she got to the weight - she looked up "OH! You've put on weight!"...to which I wanted to remark "DUH - I'm pregnant" but withheld. So I asked her how much weight I had gained - fearing that my many horribly fattening indulgences had caused me to gain "The Pregnant Freshman 15"... Nope. Not 15. Just 3. To which I started to breathe a sigh of relief until she stopped me with, "Most women lose weight their first trimester." I once again pondered a retort but thought I'd let it pass.... lucky for her I'm not emotional right now!!! :)

News...

We've already tried to call/email/text as many folks as we could... but I figured that it was time to add this onto our blog for the future memory book I intend to make out of this thing one day.

I figure that I will let Andrew "explain' what the big news is....













































































So...just in case the t-shirt wasn't obvious :) We are expecting a little brother or sister for Andrew the first part of November. My due date is November 12th (or 13th?) but since I have to have another c-section, it will be sometime the week before.

Welp - that's all for now! :)

Good Luck with the Nightmares....

So tonight I was craving some yummy portabello stuffed ravioli from Olive Garden to which my loving husband and sweet boy obliged. As our luck would have it, we were sat with a not too attentive waiter and his "trainee". Usually when we go out to eat, it seems they have the entree out the same time as you get your salad and/or appetizer. Tonight... 1 hr and 15 mins later we still didn't have our food... sigh. But patience prevailed and we got our food.

Now where this came from...I'm not sure because these words did not come out of the mouth of David or me. And we really didn't bad mouth the service either (suprisingly)...but as we're leaving Olive Garden, Andrew hollers out "Good bye, Restaurant! Good luck with the nightmares!!" I guess that's another word for poor waitstaff?

Kids, Kids, Kids....what they can come up with.... :)
