Bump Alert!

Well, here I am starting my fourth month of pregnancy with the new little Lawless! I am feeling good, no morning sickness and getting over the tiredness too. I can stay awake past 9:00 now! :)

The baby's heartbeat is around 140 and the baby is very active. I can feel the little flutters and movement all day long! We have about 5 more weeks then we can find out if its a boy or girl! I can't wait to know so i can call this baby by name. Keep looking for my updates. :)

Playing Teacher

Maddie was playing Mrs. Cheryl yesterday after school. She had her baby in the stroller behind her and was reading a book to the class. She would read then hold up the pages to show us. I was hysterical but i got in trouble by Mrs. Cheryl for talking to Les. Haha, she is a teacher in the making, oh goodness! I could sit here all day and watch her play teacher...its so cute and i can really see what she is learning at school too!

This is where we got to see the pictures to the story she was reading aloud to us. It was so cute how she held the book up to Les and I.

My little teacher! I think she heard too much in womb....oh well, the world needs more teachers like Maddie or excuse me, Mrs. Cheryl is her name when she is playing school.

New Baby!

The new baby is doing great and i can feel lots of flutters especially at night when i finally sit down from a busy day. I am the only one who can feel it right now so it won't be long till i can share the amazing feeling with other people! Les and I went to the doctor for my check up about 2 weeks ago and when Dr. Theis went to find the heartbeat, he couldn't hear it on the external heartbeat monitor. So, needless to stay, i was trying to stay calm while panicking inside!! This child just loves to have its picture taken so we had to have an ultrasound to make sure everything was okay. Sure enough, there it was...kicking and stretching around. The heartbeat was good and strong and something like 150. Last time i had an ultrasound the heartbeat was 140. Pretty much everytime i have an appt. it ends up with an ultrasound. But, Les got to see the baby and he was thrilled. I got a snapshot of the baby but its kinda blurry but you can see the hands, body, arms and legs. Just amazing from the last ultrasound at 6 1/2 weeks.

I have not felt bad at all just tired but i am hoping the second trimester will be better with more energy but overall i am great! Enjoy the new photo of little lawless.

Our exciting news!

We got some exciting news around Christmas.....we are very excited to be adding to our family. Maddie was able to come to the doctor appointment with Nana & I today. She got to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. What a miracle from God, we are so blessed!!
My due date is Sept. 2, 2010 give or take a few days! Keep an eye out for some bump alerts...they will be coming faster since its my second baby. :)

Christmas in the Woodlands

Well, i guess i just don't learn until i am in the process of downloading the pictures and say, "oh no! They are all out of order!" So, my apologies again. :( But, this is the remainder of our Christmas holiday. We flew home from Midland on Christmas Eve to find a very dark house because the power was out and had been out for hours. So, we had supper by candlelight and cooked by candles so it was a very unique and fun Christmas Eve.
Santa came that night to Maddie and she got a tent, piano and baby doll stroller. She was so cute and excited! Aunt DeeDee, Uncle Dickie, Amber, Granny, Rae, Andrew, Nana & Papa were all there too to see the excitement on her face. We spent most of the day in our pj's opening presents and watching Maddie play! It was a great week spent in The Woodlands. :)
To end our time there, we celebrated my 28th birthday on the 28th of Dec. It was my golden birthday so that was so neat. I got wonderful gifts and an awesome supper with the family.
We are so blessed to have great families on both sides of our lives and we love everyone!

The Mire's and Granny

Maddie got a doctor kit so she was checking out Aunt DeeDee's cold.

Christmas night we had our own worship service that turned into a dancing session. Maddie wanted to dance so she said, "Nana, its my turn." Then Papa danced with her while all the adults got tear eyed...

Maddie was watching her video from Santa on the computer, its Christmas Eve too.

Nana gave Maddie a present early so she would have something new to play with while we ate supper. Good thing the power was back on for her to play.

Cooking by candlelight!

Maddie's flight home from Midland and she is sitting in her own seat now because she is so big! She did great considering the rough flight.

Well, it seems that each time i post on my blog i forget that it post the pictures in the backwards order so just keep that in mind when you are looking at the pictures. We flew to Midland on Dec. 21 for a few days to see the family. Maddie loved playing with Chloe and Trinity was just adorable! She would follow the big girls around and watch them playing. We opened our presents there too then Kristi took the girls out to take pictures in their matching dresses. We also took a few of Maddie in her Christmas dress. The pictures are amazing and i was so glad we got to partake in the pictures. Thanks Aunt Kristi. :)






Maddie was making a gingerbread house at Aunt Kristi's house with Chloe's friends.

Maddie got brown knee boots! They are so cute!

Maddie's first time to have a coke float!

Mimi and Opa came in town to see Maddie and pick up all of our Christmas gifts to take back to Midland. They stayed the weekend so we went to Schlitterbahn Winter Wonderland to see all the lights! It was so awesome!! Oh, it was so cold there too you can see the jackets, hats and gloves on all of us. Then, we did some shopping and spent some quality time together. Enjoy all the pictures with the lights.






You should come see us next year and go the Schlitterbahn! Its so much fun!!!

The first Thursday in December, our town does a Wassilfest in which you go and sample different wassils while shopping under all the Christmas lights. Well, each year for some reason, we don't go but this year we went because Les was home. We met Rae and Andrew out there too. It was so cold that we had to go buy scarfs and gloves to bear the weather. Maddie loved being out among the 5,000 plus people walking the circle and drinking wassil. It was so festive and fun.

Maddie's Crazy Hair!!!

Maddie played on her trampoline last Sunday when the weather was beautiful!! Les had just gotten home from the road and she was all clean from her morning bath so Les takes her outside to jump. I am in the house cleaning or something and he yells to bring my camera. So, i walk outside and notice that her hair is going CRAZY! It had so much static from being clean then jumping around....it was hilarious! We laughed and laughed.....Maddie had no clue what was happening till after i uploaded the pictures to the computer. Hope you laugh as a much as we did!!
