It's a GIRL!!!

Yes, you read right! I am having a girl! I am so so excited and ofcourse Brandon is too. Though he had to make his comment, " Well Chayse..it looks like its just me and you now bud!" Haha! Anyway, we really like the names Alexa and Berkley. I leaning more towards Alexa, but we will just see!

Im peeved...

SO I was totally looking forward to my PRENATAL massage today at 4:30! All day I have been thinking..ahhh yes, time for some relaxation! Well, the receptionist just calls me and says that the lady I scheduled with, doesnt normally do massages on pregnant women and was concerned as to how far along I am. Now I dont know much about prenatal massage, but I do know there is such a thing, and I do know that pregnant women love it. So when I called yesterday, asking if they do prenatal massages, and I get told that they do and they schedule me...I assume that the receptionist knows what she is talking about. I dont expect to get a call 2 hrs before my beloved relaxation hour, from another receptionist telling me that the masseuse doesn't usually do that, and asked how far along I was. I told her almost 18 wks..and she said, "Well i think you should be fine?" (with doubt seeping through her words.) I told her that I specifically asked for a prenatal massage, and asked if the lady knew how to do one. She said that I was scheduled for an hour so she would do similar stuff. What the heck does that mean??? I cancelled the appt because I dont want to go some where that they have no idea what is going on. So, Im bugged, butIm done venting.

Happy Birthday To Me!

I had a great birthday yesterday! We went out to Hamilton's for dinner and had some nice "husband and wife bonding time". We went shopping which is ofcourse always fun..maybe more for me than for Brandon..but he was a good sport! Chayse didnt quite understand that it was my turn to have a birthday, since his was the day before. He just didnt want his day to be over! On a side note, I realized that I was more excited for Chayse's birthday than my own. Maybe thats because I am getting closer and closer to 30 and that just doesnt excite me..(ok i have 6 more yrs..but time flies)...or just because Chayse's birthday brings back the excitement that I felt as a child when my birthday rolled around each year. I guess Im just growing up! :) Thanks to my husband and little guy for making it a fun day for me anyway! :)

Finally...some time to relax!

I am so excited because tomorrow at 4:30 I am getting a MUCH needed maternity massage! How nice it will feel to be relaxed and massaged for an hour..without a screaming toddler! :) I love my little boy..but some peace and quiet is so nice!

Happy Birthday Chayse!

Today, my little Chayse turns 2! We had a fun day! We had to work in the morning (nanny for Dylan), then after that we hung out at home til Daddy got off work and then we went to eat at McDonalds. (Yes I know, totally unhealthy!) It was a fun place for Chayse to run around and play! Then we went home and played with some of his new toys and then met Brandon's parents and two of his brothers at Caspers Ice Cream Shop. Chayse had such a great time, and all day was singing happy birthday to himself and saying it was "his happy day". I love my little guy so much and am so blessed to have him in my life. He has learned and developed so much this past year, that it blows me away! We are having his Shrek Party on Saturday! We are so excited that The Conger Family will be coming from Twin to Chayse's party. Chayse is excited to his girlfriend! We also appreciate the others that are traveling to come to the party! I will post pics tomorrow and this weekend from his birthday week of celebrating! :)

Happy REAL Birthday!

Today is my wonderful husband's 28th birthday! He is the type that would rather it be unknown that this is his special day..but unfortunately he married someone who LOVES birthdays and loves to spoil them on their day! I am so thankful for Brandon is our lives and how hard he works to support this family! He is such a great father to Chayse! I fell in love with him all over again the day Chayse was born..as I saw him step into the father roll. I am looking forward to another fabulous year with him!

Happy Fake Birthday Honey!

We had a suprise Birthday BBQ for Brandon today! Its a day before his birthday, but we thought it was a good day since nobody had to work! Brandon's brother and his family came up from Syracuse to help celebrate his bday! It was a fun relaxing afternoon with good food and though the weather was really hot..we made it through! :)
Chayse was happy to celebrate his dad's birthday with him..though he is getting excited for it to be HIS "happy day" as he calls it!
Brandon only got one candle on his french silk pie...when really there should have been 28..but we didnt want the whole thing to melt before we finished singing "Happy Birthday"!
