The Good Life: Flying, Farming & Toddlers

Well I guess it is safe to let everyone in on our unexpected blessing for 2011. Back in early February we found out that we are expecting baby #3. Cody and I had both decided before this that we were content with our little family of four and were ready to take steps towards ovary removal or having my tubes tied. So to say the very least this was a huge surprise.

Over the last 15 months I have read so many message boards about "Baby after PBM," needless to say I never thought that I would one day be in that position. So far things have gone very well. If you were around for my two previous pregnancies you know that I am not a very good pregnant woman. I tend to spend a great deal of my 9 months hugging a toilet or pan of sorts with extreme nausea and vomiting. I had sworn off the thought of having any more babies because of this. Up to this point I have religiously taken my zofran, and had good and bad days. As of Monday we have crossed the 12 weeks mark and seem to be doing very well. I will not say the nausea is gone completely, but seems to be much better. We are still taking things day to day and pray fervently each night for another good day in the morning.

JB & Taylor are both very excited about having a baby, so excited that they have already moved in together and given up one of their bedrooms for the baby.

Other than that things are well in the Timmons household!!

First Day's of School

We're awake!

She does not know what is coming yet...

Brushing our teeth :)

JB refused to smile.

There was too much going on for him to look at the camera.

I had to drag Taylor out of the building, she wanted to stay at Bubba's School.

Tuesday morning, Taylor's first day of school!

After School!

Mommy's relief that school is back in session!

I will have to admit that there has not been a tear shed or even an upset moment on my part. This Mommy is confident that both JB and Taylor are ready for school, and that we are all in need of a little alone time. More importantly than that though, I am excited about this school year. I am going to get one on one time with both of my kids this year. This is something that has typically not happened all that much. I am going to be blessed with JB and Mommy time while Taylor is still at school and Taylor and Mommy time while JB is at school! This year is going to be so rewarding for all of us!

I hope that God blesses each and everyone of you this year!!

Lake Greenbelt

I love spending time just the 4 of us. At home we sometimes get stuck in the routine of everyday life, but on an adventure as we usually call our day trips anything can happen! These are the little impulse outings that Cody usually comes up with. On adventure days I am constantly reminded of the love and appreciation our children have for us.

Taylor is my little hugger! Anytime she is truly happy about something she will come up to me and say:
"Mom, your my Mom!" This has almost become her substitute for "I Love You." I will take it anytime. The best part is that this little phrase is usually accompanied by many little kisses and a short period of snuggle time!!

JB is very pure when it comes to showing his enjoyment. It is hard to find him without a beautiful smile stretched across his little face! And of course we can never get enough of his "I love you, too" in his big boy voice.

All in all, our little adventure days give me time to sit back and observe. The little things that we are typically too busy to take in while tackling laundry, dishes, toys, and all the other tasks of managing our homes.

I hope you enjoy our little adventure to Lake Greenbelt as much as we did!
