And the verdict is...

Hi All!
So, most of you know by now that I am pregnant. I haven't really posted anything about it so if you didn't already know... Surprise!

The news of the hour is that we are having a BOY!! We are so excited to have a little boy in the family. We are like a perfectly balancing teeter-totter right now and I can safely say that I'd be perfectly happy with my little family for the rest of my life if we decided to not have any more children.

Our little guy is pretty much the complete opposite of Jane (as far as being in the womb is concerned).
Jane measured a week small.
Baby Sawyer (surprise! That's his name!) measures a week big.
Jane never slept at night and I couldn't get her to wake up before 10:00AM
Baby Sawyer sleeps at night and hops around all morning.
Jane was asleep and sucking her hand in every ultrasound we had.
Baby Sawyer looks like he is the main attraction at the circus. We get flips and turns and HOPS!! When the doctor did an ultrasound on Sawyer a month ago he was hopping around so much that we could hear a sound coming across the heartbeat detecting machine. I thought he had hiccups but the Doctor set me straight and informed me that the baby was jumping.

I don't think Jane quite understands what she is in for but she likes to hold my slowly growing tummy and kiss my belly button. She at least knows that the baby is not in HER belly. In fact, if I ask her if she is "mommy's baby" she points at my tummy and says "Baby".

Anyways, we are so happy. We can't wait to share our new little baby with the rest of you.

St. Simons Island

Hi All!! I'm BAaaaaaaaaCK!
We went to St. Simons Island for the weekend to meet my mom a couple of weeks ago and I just had to share our adventures. St. Simons Island is on the Ga. Coast about an hour north of Jacksonville and it is one of the best kept secrets in the South. Above is the bridge that we took into town. It was so high off the ground you could see the water and marshlands for miles.
Little Jane loved swinging at the waterfront park by the pier but she was so tired before we left on Sunday that she was falling asleep in the swing.

The women on the beach after arriving Friday evening. It rained the whole way up to St. Simons and magically cleared when we got to our condo.


Jane was so excited when she saw a pool after the long drive that she just couldn't wait to go swimming until the morning. She is realizing the pool is a little cold in this picture. She was so cute though. We just let her plop right in the water with her diaper and t-shirt on.

Jane and Mommy at the top of the lighthouse I carried two babies all the way to the top... ;)
Well, We've missed you all. If you happen to stumble across this in passing feel free to make a comment so I know your there. Sarah, you've been so great with your harrassment for me to keep writing. You can officially begin pestering me about it again!!
Salut!
