It's a BOY

Well, the aniticipation is over...we finally know we are having another sweet little boy!!! Lots of trucks, trains, and tools will be at our house for sure!!  Luckily, this means I don't really need to buy much at all for the new baby!  I do have a small "wish list" but nothing i must have right away or anything I wanted to buy today.  I went to Babies R Us after with a 20% coupon and really couldn't find a thing to pick up!!  I got Charlie a Diego digital camera that was on sale to save for either Christmas or his bday!! 

Well, Chess was cleaning up outside this weekend and came across a pretty decent sized poisonous snake :(  He killed but now I am terrified to take Charlie outside to play...thats a shame.  I am hoping one doesn't find its way into our house, I would freak out for sure!!  I'm sure after it cools down it won't be as much of an issued.  I guess one a year isn't bad considering we live on a pond...it just freaks me out!

I'm also bummed that my sewing/embrodery maching broke.  I had to drop it off at the shop today.  Hopefully they will have it fixed soon, I have some waiting projects to work out.  This heat is getting me so tired lately I don't really have the energy to do much anyway.  It's hard enough to keep the house and laundry up and look after Charlie poo!

Here are some recent pics, I will update more later this week!

Top 10 baby boy names

Ok, after many good suggestions we managed to narrow the list down to our 10 favorites.  Chess and I have had some trouble agreeing, but here is what we got!  Let the voting begin.  Vote for you LEAST favorite name everyday.  We will see what is left standing...a tiny disclaimer, the winner doesn't mean Chess and I are going to pick that name for sure.  I just thought this would be a fun way to get lots of ideas and opions!

In other news...

Gran and Pops came for a visit this weekend and we had fun.  Charlie especially loved playing golf with Pops!!  I think Pops liked it just as much, he is excited to see how much Charlie likes golf!

We rode into memphis and visited Mud Island River Park.  We didn't stay long though, it was too hot!! Other than that, Gran cooked for us and helped me get things clean and we just visited.  It was nice.  After church this morning, they headed back home.  We are excited for them and the rest of the family to come for Charlie's bday party soon!!

Not much else going on.  I've been tired and queasy thanks to little no name Green LOL..let the voting begin.

here is my growing belly (and behind) at 16 weeks!

Watch out Emeril....Here comes Charlie

Charlie and I made a pizza for dinner this evening.  I decided to let him try to help me out and I was surprised...he did really good!! I figured he would just make a mess, but he kinda got into it!!  I'm sure it will be the best pizza we've ever tasted thanks to Chef Charlie Green!  Check him out in action!

Pizza isn't the only thing baking around here LOL...Baby Green #2 is doing great, I had a check up today and the heartbeat was 148, the doctor said it sounded great!!  I made an appt for Sept 10th to hopefully find out if we will be decorating in pink or blue!  I'll make sure and keep everyone posted on that for sure!  I know everyone is as anxious as we are. 

We had a pretty nice weekend and took it easy for the first time in a long time!  We did go and visit Ms. Sally (she works with Chess) and see her horse Boudreaux.  Charlie wasn't too sure at first...

But after he saw mommy pet him, he figured it would be ok!

Well, that's all I got for now!  I'll update again soon!

what a busy busy summer!

Well, this weekend we took another quick trip to Louisiana. It turned out a little longer than expected, but we enjoyed the visit. We came home on Monday and were excited that Chess came home yesterday. He has been gone working in Chicago for two weeks. It's nice to all be home and taking it easy for a while! Our summer full of visitors continues though. Gran and Pops are coming up to see soon and then Amanda and Hunter will be headed up north. Olive Branch is quite the hot spot since the Greens moved up here LOL.

I went to see a specialist for my enlarged thyroid last Thursday and she was concerned about a couple of the enlarged nodes on it, she did a biopsy on both, but no worries, the results came back normal praise God! I will continue seeing her yearly to keep an eye on things, but we seem to be in the clear!

We've had a couple of playdates since we got home and Charlie has had a ball. Yesterday we went to toddler time at Chick Fil A for breakfast. Today we went to an outdoor spray park and then went for pizza. I also made a quick stop at Hobby Lobby, then we came home for what I hoped would be a nap, but that didn't work out :( Hopefully we will at least get to go to bed early tonight!!

I don't have any new pics of Charlie for this post, but I will leave you with some of my latest craft projects!
