Halloween 2010

In the Jordan house we had Woody over for Halloween. Yep Kyle was Woody from Toy Story. He has been on the Woody and Buzz kick for some time now. He had a great time going trick or treating. We had some friends over for dinner (a couple who have a son around Kyle's age and they are best friends.) After we ate dinner the moms put on the kids costumes and the dads headed out with Woody, Rex, and the cutest little witch (Oliver the T-Rex's sister.) I stayed at home with Jenelle Oliver and Reagan's mom to hang out candy to the other trick or treaters. About an hour later our small group was seen walking home in the dark. They didn't get a lot of candy, but that's fine. We don't need a huge sugar high. Kyle was so excited to be able to go walk around and meet people!

Baby Bean

Ross and I didn't like calling the new baby, "It or "baby". So we have named the bun in the oven "Bean". So when you read or hear me talk about bean you will know what I'm talking about!
I had my second OB appointment today. Everything went great! All the blood work came back normal and looking good. My blood pressure is fine. Because it's too early to hear Bean's heartbeat, I was given a ultrasound. Bean's is doing great, the heartbeat is 153 bpm and measures 3.32 cm from head to bum. Bean is also looking like a baby not a blob, which is nice to see. I'm 10 weeks 3 days pregnant, finally in double digits!

I know every pregnancy is different, but this one has been very different from Kyle. With Kyle I was sick the whole 1st trimester, to the point that I had to take medicine to keep any food down. My heartburn was so bad that it would wake me up at night. With Bean I have had very little heartburn and nausea. The only way I know I'm pregnant is that I'm TIRED ALL THE TIME! I am ready for bed at 6 pm and could sleep till 10 am and get a nap. We are going to find out the sex and then start really looking at names.

Kyle has been really good with the whole new baby thing. He knows where Bean is , he will lift up my shirt and point to my stomach! It's not bad at home, but in the grocery store it's not the greatest!




The big circle on the left is Bean's head and the big circle on the right is Bean's body. You can even see the hands and feet!

New Addition!

After 12 months of trying to get pregnant with a second baby, We are so excited to announce that Kyle will be a big brother in May! Our "plan" was to have a May baby for Ross ( Kyle was born in December, My birth month). It just wasn't the year we planned, but it all turned out just fine! We are over the moon that we are having another baby and can't wait to share the experience with Kyle.

Today we saw the heartbeat!

River Boat Ride

While we were in Florida in March, Kyle's Papa, Granny, Ross, Kyle and I went to see Crystal River. We drove down and had some lunch and next door to the restaurant they had a river boat tour. After lunch we went over to see when the next tour was and we were in luck it was when we were ready. The tour was great, we saw pelicans, fish and manatees. Even being from Florida you don't see manatees very often, so seeing them up close was very exciting. The adults had a great time relaxing on the ride and despite Kyle's cranky attitude from needing a nap he had a good time too. I think we will do it again..

Uncle Jason, Aunt Sara and little Harrison

In the beginning of May. Kyle's aunt, uncle and cousin came up to visit while they were on their way to Oklahoma. It was the first time they had been here since we (Ross and I ) moved. It was so great having them here even if it was only for a few days. Kyle loved hanging out with Sara and Jason. Uncle Jason swung he around the front yard, played in the bubbles, and went on walks They even got him his own camera, which he still uses now. Kyle was so sweet with Harrison too. He gave his cousin lots of hugs and kisses. He really enjoyed having a baby around the house. They moved to the sooner state after Jason got out of the navy. Jason is from Oklahoma, which is great for us, because now they are only 6 hours away not 12-13. We are hoping to see them a lot more either here in Tennessee or Oklahoma.

Kyle's Big Boy Bed

Ross and I thought that it was time for Kyle to have a big boy bed. Seeing as how he is now over 2 years old. we thought it would be a good time to get into a new bed. It's not really new, his crib that his Papa ( Ross' dad) made converts to a toddler bed. He has been in the BBB ( big boy bed) for almost 2 months. He will wake up in the night and come into our bedroom and climb in bed with us, but over all the whole new bed thing has gone real well.

Easter Fun

We went to a church down the street from our house. Kyle saw the Easter bunny for the first time this year! He did ok, I just 6 foot tall bunny is a lot different than a Santa. They also had a easter egg hunt. He has been to one other egg hunt, but really doesn't care for the eggs with candy. So he "found" about 7 eggs, with my help. Kyle and I got to ride a train. He really enjoyed that. He also got to ride a pony, which he LOVES. He had a great time.
