"Snow Storm"

On Wednesday, we got 2 or 3 inches of snow! It was really pretty but Parker did not like it as much as last time... but we played outside for a little bit before Daddy went to work. Here are a few pictures I captured.

Sweet Boy!

Baby Sprinkle

Tuesday night, I helped the girls in our Sunday School Class throw a baby sprinkle for Amy and Kristin! It was at 7:30PM (after babies are in bed) and we had gifts and desserts at our house. This is Amy's 2nd child but 1st boy and this is Kristin's 2nd child and 2nd boy! Baby Watson and William were sprinkled with lots of gifts! We had a lot of fun and great fellowship!

It's a BOY!

Beckett is 17 Weeks!

Beckett is 17 weeks old! I am feeling good and have more energy now that I am in my second trimester. I am starting to feel him move around - I LOVE it! It is my favorite part about pregnancy! We go back for our doctor check up at the end of February - I will have more blood work and another ultrasound to check and see how he is growing. We cannot wait to see our sweet baby boy again!!! We are praying the appointment goes great!!!

Here is a picture of a growing baby and mama!

Surprising Weekend!

We had a fun and busy weekend! Parker is finally back to his old self and feeling good again!! Jamie came in town to visit and Friday was Jenna's birthday. Colt and I were on our way to celebrate Jenna's birthday and Colt said we had to make a stop to get something he needed for work... he did not tell the truth!! He SURPRISED me BIG time with a new SUV!! We have been talking and looking for a new car but I had no idea he had bought one! I LOVE Colt so much and I am so thankful for his handwork and thoughtfulness for me and our family!!! I still cannot believe it is mine... It was sad to say goodbye to my car - it was the 1st car we purchased together as a married couple. But, SO excited about our new family car!

Saturday, Parker was invited to a party at iJump for Abby McElheny! It was a lot of fun and Abby looked like a doll! Parker was not a fan of slides or jumping - I think it was just a little overwhelming for him. Jenna and I left a little early for Jenna's birthday surprise - we went to lunch with Jamie and Maleah and for a spa pedicure. We had a great girls afternoon!! After, Colt, Parker and I went out for dinner, a few errands and stopped by and visited the sweet Kennedy family!

Sunday, Colt and I had to keep the nursery at church, had lunch with his family and went to the Harpole's house for a fun Superbowl party! We had a great time but did not last too long - Parker needed to get in the bed.

So, we had a great fun family weekend! Molly was in town and watched Parker several times for us - they had a great time! Parker thinks his Aunt Molly is so funny!!

It's a...

It's a BOY!!!

We could not be more thrilled to be welcoming another boy to our family!!

God is SO great!! We are so thankful to God for our blessings!!!!!!!!!

We are naming him:

Beckett Thomas Byrom!

We just loved the name Beckett (we like first names that are more commonly last names - like Parker) and Thomas is my great Uncle Tom's name and it flowed well with Beckett!

Last Tuesday, when I went to my 15 week doctor's appointment - I went in and had an ultrasound too!! It was SO wonderful seeing how much he has changed and grown since we saw him at 7 weeks. It is truly amazing to see how he is moving ALL around and covering his face with his little hands. He looked so comfy! Watching Beckett on the ultrasound screen - you cant help but believe in God and his awesomeness! I am so thankful that God has trusted Colt and I with Parker and Beckett. My prayer is that God will give Colt and I the wisdom, knowledge, words and examples to teach our boys so that they grow to be men of God.

So, Beckett has already received a few gifts! Here are some pictures of what is waiting on him!

Hayes's 2nd Birthday Party!

About 2 weeks ago, Parker's sweet friend Hayes invited him to her 2nd birthday party at her new house! It was on a Thursday morning - perfect play date!! She had Mother Goose come and sing songs. It was super cute and fun! Parker loved it and loved Hayes's toys! Here are few pictures I took and a few I stole from Amy's blog (Thanks Amy)!

SO cute!

The Circus

A few weeks ago, we bought tickets to the circus! As it neared, we really wondered whether or not we should go since Parker had been sick all week... He is feeling better, but he is still not 100%. Also, being so late, we were not sure how long he was going to make it. Once we made to our seats - through the confusion of the ticket counter, will call, long lines, and concessions - we had a great time!! Parker lasted the entire time and clapped a lot! Here are a few pictures!

Hit... Again...

So, Tuesday started off GREAT! We found out the sex of our sweet baby BooTwo!!!!!! I will be writing a post on that once we have BooTwo's name finalized. Unfortunately, our week went a little different from there...

Tuesday:
Colt's mom was watching Parker while Colt and I were at the doctor's office. When we arrived home she told us he had vomited several times... My poor sweet boy! So, throughout the rest of the day we had many more vomiting episodes and a pitiful little boy.

Wednesday:
By Wednesday morning I started worrying when he hit the 24 hour mark... I call the doctor's office and they gave me a few things to do and watch for and he seemed to be getting better....

Thursday:
At 1AM, it started all OVER - throwing up every 30 minutes. I started panicking - so I called the on-call nurse and she said to do a teaspoon of liquids every 5 minutes for an hour. By the way this is at 4:30AM. So, by 5:30 he kept everything down and went to sleep! The nurse said he should be getting better now.... THANKFULLY at 7AM Colt's mom arrived to take over - as soon as she arrived Colt began vomiting - OH MY! Luckily, Colt was not near as sick as Parker. So while Mrs. Byrom had Parker - Colt and I slept on and off till about 12:30 - cannot remember the last time we were in bed till 12:30.

Once I got up, I ate and showered and I was ready to go! Mrs. Byrom went to get a few groceries for us. I cleaned and did laundry while the guys slept most of the day. At about 4PM Parker woke up and I gave him a sip of water and right back up it came - PANICKED! I called the Doctors office as they were about to close and she asked, 'can you be here in 5 minutes?' So, Parker and I just BOOKED it to the office in our PJs... I don't even want to know what we looked like. We saw a pediatrician (not our regular) and he was SO sweet and concerned and really checked Parker out and gave me good instructions. Liquids every hour (no matter what)!!! He said this would keep him from getting dehydrated and keep us out of the E.R. - I did just what he told me and it was not easy getting him to take the fluids.

Friday:
Colt's mom arrived again to relive me at 7AM - I was able to get a little rest and shower before we headed back to the doctor's office. When I came into the den Parker was a new person! My baby was walking and "talking"!! He still is not 100% but feels a lot better. We got to see our pediatrician who is WONDERFUL!!! She was so sweet and wants us to keep him on liquids today and introduce bland foods tomorrow. Colt is also doing much better - he is not 100% but getting there. I am just praying I do not get this so I can take care of my guys and our sweet baby BooTwo!! Thank you to everyone who called and emailed checking on us! I really appreciate it!

How sad is this:( Waiting for the Doctor...

He even wore his Muno shirt that Ganny gave him. It seems like just yesterday I was writing Maci's 1st birthday blog - time flies!
