You&Me + Three!: January 2013

baby #2! first half of pregnancy.

What a blessing this baby is. The first trimester of this pregnancy was so similar to my first. Sick. Sick. Sick. Tired. Tired. Tired. I would give Karleigh toys and lay on the floor or couch while she played. It's just not my style but I didn't feel good, at all. Around 13 weeks the nausea FINALLY passed and I felt human again. But it wasn't until 18 weeks that I really got energy! And I've become a clean FREAK! Everything must be clean at all times or my head spins. And of course we have a playroom that can't stay clean no matter how often I clean it.

I've started reading "Supernatural Childbirth" and it's making me SO ANXIOUS to go into labor. I want to have a much different labor this time. Without drugs.

All in all, I have no complaints. This pregnancy has been ideal. I have a healthy baby BOY growing inside of me.

Merry Christmas

What a spoiled Child we have…

She got a ridiculous amount of gifts but I’m sad to say she’s been so sick this entire holiday. Congested and stoped up. I have felt so bad for her. She just looks miserable. She has to sleep with mommy when she’s sick and snuggle up close. I’ll cherrish those moments as long as I live. After a week of being sick she finally started to feel a little better. But Christmas was a bit sad due to her little bug. She got so many new toys it was ridiculous. When she gets older we're going to teach her the importance of giving but this year, she really didn't understand.

Gender Reveal!

#baby2

The long awaited Gender Reveal. I've been wondering boy or girl since we found out we were pregnant. I asked everyone what they thought before our ultrasound on 12/21/12. EVERYONE said Girl! The Holcomb's just don't make boys! Even my husband and I were determined IT'S A GIRL. At 12 weeks our DR even guessed GIRL. <3 Well...

It's A... from Reeder on Vimeo.

December,

Merry Christmas to us.. Karleigh’s now NINE MONTHS OLD. Time is stealing my child and I really don’t like it. She’s such a joy to be around. Constantly giggling and dancing and talking and giving hugs to her dolls. What a sweet child. I pray her brother or sister is just as sweet! Karleigh LOVES our Christmas tree. She stares at it and points to it. After touching it once I calmly said “no no not for Karleigh” and we haven’t had another issue. She’s a quick learner. I love that about her! We went to her first parade this month!! She loved it!

Thankful for Novemeber

#november

November,

Already my child has been alive EIGHT MONTHS. HOLY COW. We’ve been very diligent about taking her monthly pictures infront of the chalkboard wall in her room. She’s getting so big. 95% in both height and weight! Big child.

Along with getting several new teeth Karleigh is officially crawling and standing assisted. What a big girl. She loves yogurt and cheese and eats pretty much everything. We got to go watch her uncle’s last high school football game in Alabama this month. It was freezing and Karleigh just wanted to stand the entire time.

We also got to celebrate Thanksgiving with both sides of our huge family. Pappy’s birthday fell on Thanksgiving so we celebrated both joyous events at ENFD, where Karleigh was smothered with love by so many great grandparents and aunts and uncles! I even made my very first apple pie! It was delish. After a crazy crazy day with the Holcomb’s we drove to Alabama and celebrated with the Reeder’s at Mawmaw’s. After eating several HUGE meals we stayed up late and I went black Friday shopping! Oh the steals I got! It was a great ending to a wonderful month!
