Cute little body

I love days where Briggy and I are home without a single thing we have to get done except have fun. The house is clean. Chores are all done. No need to go to the store or run into town. I love it. Today is one of those rare days and I am in heaven.

Maybe it is because we are going to have another little one soon or maybe that Brigz is growing up so fast, but I just can't get enough of him! I love to just watch him and the the little things he does. I love to watch how he moves his big monkey hands he got from his mamma and how he sits on his knees. I love to watch how his little mind figures put problems and decides what crazy thing he is going to attempt next. I usually end up hugging and kissing his sweet little cheeks until he screams that he is "ALLL DONE MOMMY!!" with my loves. He is just precious.
I love those little hands and legs and ears and tummy... so stinking cute!
He has had some digestive problems lately and it has been sad to watch. He randomly started waking at 3am throwing up last week. He had no other symptoms and was completely himself during the day. After a couple days at the doc, an X-ray showed he has some serious back up in his intestines. Which totally took me by surprise since this kid goes to the bathroom 4x a day! But I guess it's possible for things to move around the blockage. Tmi? Haha! So he is on a laxative this weekend and we go back Tuesday to see if things have moved at all. So keep little Briggy is your prayers that that worked and no more tests have to happen.

And put other munchkin is growing well. Between both lil ones, I am one worn out mamma. I have resorted to drinking SOME caffeine (I have had none so far and had none with Brigz).

We also have been home searching. The owners of our house are putting it up for sale. It is a little stressful since we will have a baby in five months. We think we found a great house with loads of potential (aka needs a TON of work). I love a house with character but a work in progress to make it our own. This will be it because I'm not sure if our work will ever be done, but I kinda love that.

Prayers needed for Briggy to get better, baby bell #2 to grow healthy, and this house to work out. Thanks!!

14 weeks, Crazy big belly, Lots of mud, Tons of fun

Holy cow! Life has been in full speed recently. Two Thursdays ago, I had two doctors appointments-one with my knee doctor and one with our baby doctor. Both went great and said I could start running and I could do the warrior dash. So far, this pregnancy has been just like with Brigz. It has been easy and I have been feeling good.

On Sunday, I woke up spotting. My doc said not to worry unless it got worse. On Monday, I woke up bleeding. A lot. I thought I was having a miscarriage. Besides almost losing Brigz, this was one of the scariest times of my life.

We rushed to the ER and after lots of test and an ultrasound, they determine the baby is great and I have placenta previa. It will hopefully move and I will hopefully not bleed and cramp the whole rest of my pregnancy.

So needless to say, I didn't get to do the warrior dash which I have been wanting to do sooooo bad:( but it was so fun going to watch and see everyone else do it. Corey's family came in and some of them came out to our house along with some of my besties and we had pasta and had a really good time Friday. Saturday morning came a little early! My parents and Joelle and Rob brought their campers an camped out. My dad ran in my spot. Corey was dressed as a redneck and his cousin Eric wore all camo. It looked so fun and I was so sad I couldn't participate!! There will be more races:)

Corey's dad came in this weekend and I think Brigz is gonna be sad when he wakes up from his nap without his Popz. They are two peas in a pod. Im mad i didn't get any pictures of the two of them. We had such a great weekend. We don't get many visitors in the boonies and we LOVE having people out so it was pretty special to have so many people come out this weekend.

Here are a few pictures of life recently.
