I decided that I better post something here before I scream! If you have a problem with me or Skyler not telling you we were pregnant right away you can just go away. I am sick of hearing stupid comments from people, or getting the "why didn't you tell us sooner" look. It was our decision to tell people when we were ready, and some people still haven't been told but will after we find out the gender of Baby Summers. If you found out from someone else and are still waiting to hear it from us you'll get to hear it soon. I just don't think it's right to go posting it to every single person right away, I don't need to pee on a test and then post it to facebook, I tell certain people things are certain times, there are people that I wanted to tell sooner and those we wanted to wait to tell. Now this is not how everyone has reacted, majority of the comments we got after first posting and people slowly finding out were wonderful and we're extremely grateful to have such kind understanding people in our lives!
Now moving on, life is wonderful here on our end, hope it is going just as well for you! Skyler absolutely loves his new job and they love him! Army is still there and he's still gone 1 weekend a month which is now dedicated to girls night! We had one Oct. 2nd and it was wonderful! All but 1 sister (Lisa) was there, my Aunt Carole, B (Steven's girlfriend) and my friend Bethany came! We did the best things, we ate gave Rachel and Carole facials and dipped our hands in wax. Perfect beauty night. Oh I forgot we had one adorable little man there also, Cadin!
Mom's birthday was last weekend, and we had pizza, hot wings and played Apples to Apples, which is a wonderful game to play with my family! Can't wait for us to get together again and play! I was able to decorate a cake for her, though this one does not look pretty I still have to post it for memories.
I had help from a very adorable 2 yr old when it came to decorating, we did our best.
Steven is in Texas this is going to be his fourth week there (hopefully he is able to come home after week 6), and on the days he is supposed to get Cadin, I get him! It's been absolutely wonderful! I now know Elmo's Adventures in Grouch Land very very well.
We were able to attend our friend Paul's wedding Oct. 1st and were able to take Cadin with us, he enjoyed the luncheon most where he ate cheese and tomatoes, I have some really cute pictures of him waiting patiently while Skyler dished up his cheese and tomatoes. I didn't get any pictures of Skyler & I, wish I would have but we have forever to take pictures together missing a couple is okay.
Skyler & I have an official date for finding out the gender of Baby Summers, which is in the last week of October, which works out perfectly with Skyler's birthday the 26th, Lisa's the 27th and Halloween right after. Can't wait to give this little one a name! I'm finally slowly but surely starting to feel better, I have been able to go a day with out taking a stomach pill till right before bed. I haven't been able to ever do that. Hopefully things are finally looking up!
This is a belly picture from yesterday (Oct 12), just half way through 18 weeks! I'm finally starting to show, but to get good pictures like this one I have to eat and move around for a while then it really sticks out!
More good news! My cousin Sammi and her husband are expecting their first baby! Baby Clemens will be here in June! Its crazy how things happen. My birthday is in April and Sammi's is in July, and Baby Summer's is due in March and Baby Clemens in June, they'll be about the same bit apart as we are! I'm so happy for Sammi & Alex. Skyler and I are hoping that we can get to know them a lot better now that we have more things in common!
And just a few more pictures for memories.
His silly glasses!
He loves grapes!
Smiling at the kids with the stolen gum!
Cadin stole some gum from my purse and though it was funny to run to the corner.
Cadin in my Sunday School Class again.
Cadin in nursery with Grandpa! Grandpa said he loved the little snacks, and that he loved being in nursery as long as Grandpa was in there.
